The Big Woo: Strike II: The Strikening
http://jumpsoda.blogspot.com/2008/11/strike-ii-strikening.html
Saturday, November 22, 2008. Strike II: The Strikening. Just in time for the holidays, another creative union - the Screen Actors Guild - is talking strike. Talks have been dragging on since the summer with no real progress and it remains to be seen if the will exists among the rank-and-file members to put the town through another labor stoppage (especially in a severe economic downturn elsewhere). Well, maybe one guy. Posted by Chris at 1:12 PM. Is there any ceremony or anything? No You just jump in.

The Big Woo: Metablast
http://jumpsoda.blogspot.com/2009/03/metablast.html
Sunday, March 08, 2009. It's a truth (almost) universally acknowledged that Francois Truffaut's Day For Night. Is the ne plus ultra movie about making movies. No argument here. Contemporarily, I'm also partial to David Mamet's satirical State and Main. Which is more about everything that goes wrong in the moviemaking process. Neither of these are yet available at any of the (legitimate) streaming sites, but here are a couple other films about filmmaking that are - one documentary and one not:. It's funny...

The Big Woo: Author author
http://jumpsoda.blogspot.com/2008/12/author-author.html
Saturday, December 13, 2008. Despite the labor unrest this year between content creators and content owners, the fact is barriers to entry for flimmaking have never been lower. Cheap digital video, editing software for your home computer, and online distribution with sites like YouTube mean you can shoot it and people can see it. Now, and without having to go through the studio gates to do it. Now, the company is leveraging its brand online with the launch of a website for film lovers: TheAuteurs.com.

The Big Woo: December 2005
http://jumpsoda.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 30, 2005. Back in Charm City after a long Christmas weekend in my hometown. No year-end lists or New Year's wishes or resolutions, but I was able to use the down time to go through a hard copy of my script for typos, formatting, and other egregious errors ( nits. As they call them). I wanted to take Scott the Reader. Up on his $60 Script Notes. Offer while his desk lay fallow as well. Changes made, money PayPal-ed, and I'm leaving that one alone until Nicholl. Has been well documented.

The Big Woo: November 2005
http://jumpsoda.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 28, 2005. Since love seems to be in the air around the scribosphere (Warren Leonard at The Screenwriting Life. Weighs in on the future of the romantic comedy), I'll wrap up my postings on flimic affairs of the heart with three romances that I think anyone ignores at their peril. And not for ladies only, in my estimation. Remains the gold standard for romantic comedies (except, arguably, for Shakespeare in Love. It is the only one since 1934's It Happened One Night. Who takes out a person...

The Big Woo: Incrementalism
http://jumpsoda.blogspot.com/2010/09/incrementalism.html
Thursday, September 16, 2010. If I haven't had much to say of late it's because I've been focused on developing my portfolio of specs and pilots for television. Last year I did "30 Rock" and "Mad Men" for the several fellowship contests. No response. This year I specced "Parks and Recreation" and "White Collar." So far, the latter made it to the second round. Top 10%, I believe) of Austin Film Festival's teleplay competition. Marathon, not a sprint. Posted by Chris at 9:13 PM. No You just jump in.

The Big Woo: Anyone can write
http://jumpsoda.blogspot.com/2009/01/anyone-can-write.html
Saturday, January 17, 2009. As the Baltimore Ravens stand one Steelers beatdown away from another Super Bowl, one player who will have something to fall back on in the offseason (whatever the outcome) is defensive end Trevor Pryce. Turns out he's also a screenwriter. According to the article, he got the idea for a script when his daughter threw a penny in a fountain and then asked what would happen if her wish got mixed up with someone else. From the mouth of babes . . . Posted by Chris at 1:25 PM.
