Damn, mmmarnie beat to my punchline!

Bring it on, been missing the SS torture since the Challenge finished.

Quoted from ajr It is a Groucho Marx joke and Woody mentions it in the opening monologue of ANNIE HALL. AJR

Oh man, I was way off, lol.

Quoted from mmmarnie Niiiiiiice. So your main character has to be a neurotic pedophile? Interesting.

One of my favorite ol' time skits from MAD-TV that capitalizes on both those (Woody Allen) attributes:

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Damn, mmmarnie beat to my punchline!.

It's cus I secretly siphoned some of your genius while we were partners.  

lol mmmarnie - I think more of 'great minds think alike'

Oh, come on now, we'll have none of that.  
Look below the surface.

Second clue: Raymond Chandler.

I'm working on a new TV pilot at the moment. It's just spec but I'm focused on it and in that zone so not sure if I'll be participating, just depends on what it is. I'd like to as I enjoyed the WT so we'll see.

Quoted from LC Oh, come on now, we'll have none of that.   Look below the surface. Second clue: Raymond Chandler.

Smoking. Drinking. Lots of both.

And, Woody Allen sucks as a writer (Yeah, I said it). So, a faux-witty New York-set crime dramedy (Not Martin McDonagh-style), with lots of introspection and smoking. And the main character dies or wishes they did.

Or, my second guess: their initials W.A.R.C. Flip it around: CRAW. As in fish. As in Bayou-style. Possibly related to New Orleans and/or Voodoo? Nailed it.

Interesting to see the way Blondie's head works.  

You're onto something with Martin McDonagh though. He'd deffo make it as a next clue.

And, Mark... I think you'll be able to swing one entry easily.
Rick, you guessed right on the one obvious aspect.

Oh, the clues are too obvious. Where do I submit?

Haha! I was just going to say, where's Kham when you need her!

Three more days of clues until kickoff.  

Raymond Chandler clue got me in the mood to watch "The Big Sleep"...so I am.

Cool, Marnie.
The clues inspire on many levels, grasshopper.

Synopsis of ajr’s upcoming script for this:

Raymond Chandler must solve the puzzle of Woody Allen being found in a sewer with a bird feeder shoehorned onto his face  

Next clue:

Quentin Jerome Tarantino.
