Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Thanks! And yep! Jane's blog is on my daily reading list.

Thanks, Kessie! Did you enter? If so, best of luck!

I'm also going to send it off to Warner Bros. and see if I fare better this year. I didn't submit to CBS or FOX because I couldn't come up with any original samples, that I was happy with, in time.

The thing about life is :You can rehearse it all you want, But nobody else ever sticks to the script. So why bother?

Thanks.Yep, did enter both CBS and Disney. (And also send something to NBC- they seem to be always accepting stuff) But I don´t get my hopes up. Actually it was Jane´s blog which made me finally submit something. I had written a bunch already but never submitted anything. And now I thought, what the hell, try it!

The FOX one was the one with the Original TV Pilots, right? Well I have written one ages ago with a friend but she doesn´t want to move to the US so it was out of question. And when I saw it, it was already to late to write something new. Don´t know if I´ll do WB , depends on what my money says, cause postage and notary etc cost money and the WB had a fee right?

eta: double post ... sorry

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, you guys.

Yep, FOX is original pilots only. Plus you need the whole letter of recommendation thing.

I think the Warner Bros. application fee is $35. (It's not due until August.) And then, of course, unlike the other programs, you have to pay to participate if you get in.

And now, I am going to kick back and enjoy the rest of the Billy Wilder marathon I recorded. (Double Indemnity, YAY!) Which leads me to wonder...

You're chucking William Holden?

I will accept that answer as long as you're tossing him in my direction.

a) He was a big time hunter, b) good enough friends with Ronald Reagan to be his best man, and c) according to IMDB, (edited, because I was wrong about a)

Died from a laceration to his forehead which was caused by hitting his head during a bout of heavy drinking. He apparently remained conscious for half an hour or so after the injury but never realized he should phone for help. Had he done so, he would surely have lived.

(Yes, I am a) bored enough and b) enough of a dweeb that I researched this)

What is even happening?

FCM: Fred MacMurray, William Holden, Humphrey Bogart

F Holden, C MacMurray, M Bogart.

Holden is lovely, but I'm pretty sure he had a devil of a time with the booze, whereas Bogart just lived hard for a time. MacMurray? He's too father-y for me. He must be chucked.
