This little diddy is interesting in that it has log lines. So I put it under this thread 'cause maybe it's about learnin'.

Anyone posting a script could learn a thing or two about log lines from this.

When writing a log line it's all about 3 questions...

1 - Who's the main character and what's he/she after or want?
2 - What is standing in the way of that person?  Could be another person or thing or event... It can be anything.
3 - What sets your story apart from the others?

Answere those and you'll have a decent log line.

Your link was interesting none the less.

Ha -- very amusing indeed -- but it simply can't be true...can it?

I mean, a David Mamet race car script, a Chuck Norris script (the man can do anything!!), and Kirstie Ally as a fat elephant (they are not already fat)?

It sounds so made up it must be true haha.
