THE NEWSLETTER SHOULD BE HITTING YOUR E-MAIL BOXES RIGHT ABOUT NOW!
Sorry guys. No post today. I was going to review Shadow of the Moon but the first few minutes were so bad, I put Netflix on a time out in the corner. I don’t even know how Netlflix production works. Nobody hears about these films until one day they just appear out of thin air. What Netflix doesn’t understand is that, if a movie falls in a forest and nobody’s around, it doesn’t get taken seriously. Their whole method for producing movies is bizarre and I struggle to understand it and NO Netflix, you may not get out of your time out early. Back in the corner!
Anyway, I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but this is probably the greatest Scriptshadow Newsletter EVER. I share with you the single worst idea for a show or movie I’ve ever seen. I tell you the number 1 thing that gets my knickers in a bunch when reading a script. And it isn’t a Scriptshadow newsletter if I don’t share my thoughts on the latest Star Wars news. I mathematically break down what number Rise of Skywalker has to hit at the box office to ensure Disney doesn’t blow Lucasfilm up and start over. I check out an overlooked movie and explore its connections with the golden age of the spec script. I dance. Although I didn’t include that part so you’ll have to imagine it. And I explain to you the industry reason why the script I review in the newsletter got purchased, even though it probably shouldn’t have.
It’s a smorgasbord of screenwriting awesomeness. But you can’t read it unless you’re signed up. If you’re not on the Scriptshadow Mailing List, e-mail me at carsonreeves1@gmail.com with the subject line, “NEWSLETTER!” and I’ll send it to you.
p.s. For those of you e-mailing me saying that you keep signing up but don’t receive the newsletter, try sending me another e-mail address. E-mailing programs are notoriously quirky and there may be several reasons why your e-mail address/server is rejecting the newsletter. One of which is your server is bad and needs to be spanked.
