This is a joke...
A screenwriter receives a parrot for his
birthday. The bird is fully grown, with a bad
attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every
other word out of his beak is an expletive. The
writer tries hard to change the parrot's
behavior: he says polite words, plays soft music,
anything he can think up, to set a good example.
Nothing works.
He yells at the bird, and the bird yells back. He
shakes the bird, but the bird just becomes more
angry and rude. Finally, in a moment of
desperation, he puts the parrot in the freezer.
For a few moments, he hears the bird squawk,
swear, and scream. Suddenly, there's a deathly
quiet. The guy's frightened, thinking he might
have injured the bird, so he quickly opens the
freezer door. The parrot calmly steps out onto
the writer's extended arm, and says, "I believe
I've offended you with my rude language and
behavior. I will endeavor at once to correct this
problem. I am truly sorry, and beg your
forgiveness."
The writer is astonished at the bird's dramatic
change in attitude, but before he can say
anything, the parrot continues, "Might I ask what
the chicken did?"

You should be lucky I did that. I could have just as easily left it swingin' to the left.

I know I'm off the topic of fried chicken
, but The Memory Keeper's Daughter is a script animal that has not evolved on the internet that I can find.
It is an adaptation of a novel by Kim Edwards. The script was done by
John Pielmeier.

we're just tossing anything up for ideas now? Maybe we should discuss what we try to get out of the SC before we just suggest our faves....

I think it would be better to have an unproduced script. The produced ones have most (if not all) of the problems weeded out of them. By reading these problems, and discusing them, we learn from them. If we were to pick Slumdog Millionaire , the thread would probably be very short as all we would be saying would be positive comments. We wouldn't learn as much from it. Phil
