I think we should have a think *actor* contest.   Who can make the best use of it.  5 pages due   Oct 14th.   Send them to Don with think *actor* in the comment.  That is unless he does the OWC, in which case we'd need to reschedule.

I thought the OWC is already scheduled for tomorrow?

Quoted from Dreamscale I thought the OWC is already scheduled for tomorrow?

And so it is.  So we'll have to reschedule the think *actor* contest.  Say 5 page due September 1st.  Best use of think *actor* gets bragging rights.

What time is the OWC being released tomorrow?

I wasn't able to do the last one but so love the ALL HALLOWS EVE version.

The October OWC is coming October 7th, 10:00 pm edt

Sweet!  I'll have to jump on this immediately, as I'm moving out, once again on Tuesday, so I'll have the weekend to write, and that will be it.

Hopefully that old goat LedHead will grace us with his presence in this OWC.  He's been MIA as of late, and that's always too bad to see.

The Palin/Gilliam story was intended as an anecdote, nothing more, linking as it did both the themes of naming an actor and the preceding discussion of Sean Connery.

It was not intended as a recommendation to use this method of writing - naming an actor as a way of describing a character.

I have read lots of scripts, some very famous, some largely unknown or forgotten, and I cannot recall ever seeing this done. I am sure it is, but it is not a common practice.

But it's gonna be now on SS, at least!  

Hopefully, 46%-71.4% of this October's OWC entries will utilize this remarkable character description for as many characters as humanly possible.  My personal hope is that we will be allowed to have characters like Ernie Borgine when he was at personal high in Captiva Island, or even good old F. Murray.  If I can, I'll even throw in Neal Patrick Harris from his classic Doogie Howser M.D. days.

Damn...you guys are gonna be lovin' my script!  Please don't hate on it because of my character descriptions, as they will provide the ultimate in a visual que.

I feel like I've learned so much on this thread...I mean even more than what the wily comedian Conz is all about...

That's the whole truth.
