The Dotted Logline

I’m debating on whether I should start querying literary agents again now or hold off for a bit. Unfortunately, I waited until after My Super Ex-Girlfriend came out and bombed. Since my screenplay Struck is in a similar genre, I’ll most likely be completely ignored at the moment. Not that querying agents isn’t almost always a total waste of time and money in the first place. But maybe I’ll have better non-luck if I wait a few months for it to blow over.

I was looking at going to Lobster Alice, a play starring Nicholas Brendon (Xander from BtVS) and Noah Wyle at The Blank theater down the street. It turns out the theater accepts play submissions, and I decided to submit Goodbye Dolly. I’ve been waiting almost two years to hear from the publisher and I’m sick of just sitting on one of the best/most successful things I’ve written to date. Besides, the play I’m currently working on is most likely going to be catered towards the improv group I’m in, so I won’t really be looking to shop that one around at first.

Dead Man’s Chest is The Empire Strikes Back. With a kraken. Unfortunately, the kraken isn’t nearly as impressive as the one in Tamora Pierce’s Wild Magic, which was much larger and sentient.

Overall, the movie wasn’t as tight as the original and I wished it hadn’t leaned so hard on rehashed jokes. I did enjoy it overall, especially when it went deeper into character chemistry that was only hinted at in the original. Great cliffhanger ending, too. Looking forward to the third one, which should be completely insane. Hopefully in a good way.
