So far, no plans for "The Inside" DVDs, alas. Which I think sucks ass. At least Marti got "Point Pleasant" out there. Good for her, I say.
Just got a call from William Mapother who just saw his ep -- the house-bound serial killer. He thanked me for giving him such a "fun" and odd character to play. He's really good in it. It's nice to get the real gratitude. Sigh.
On an up note, as a few here know, I finally finished my draft of "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress," and the response has been exceedingly strong. What's more, I kinda think I knocked it out of the park. To the moon, Alice. (Remember when wife beating was funny? that's for another thread.) So that's good. If that gets made, for SURE there'll be a DVD. I have, I think, less than a year on my current deal with 20th. Maybe I should not extend it and go do movies.

Whatever lets you stay truest to your artistic vision. Though I must confess I'll be selfishly sad if I only get two hours of your work every other year rather than a season—or part of one—of great television every year. The writing you do with the character development and the pain and the glavin is so enjoyable to watch unfold over time.

Isn't there wife-beating in soap operas? It's totally on-topic.
Allyson, someday I'm going to be saying I knew you when. Seriously.

Yay, Tim! On all three counts. Looking forward to the final product.
Good job on "The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress," I say. But going to the movies full time? That motion picture business is dicey ever since the talkies took over, they say.

Will you put me in your will before you write the next screenplay? If you leave me enough for a house with a yard I'll take the beagles and the cat, too.
Or you could pinky swear that you'll get plenty of sleep and drink lots of orange juice.
what makes you think writing movies will get me less sleep than when I'm in production on a season of tee vee?
