EXCUSE ME. It's not Romeo and Juliet. It's Romeo + Juliet.
I love that movie.
Wats is making me watch Trapped in the Closet right now.
So, I'll browse through the Craigslist writing want ads on occasion. You never know, you might stumble across something worthwhile, however unlikely.
There was an ad looking for screenwriters, written in a tone that suggested, "You'll miss out if you don't respond!" So, I figured I'd send an email from my spam-catcher account. I got a rather lengthy canned response, pointing me to the following URL, and saying that they're planning a sequel:
http://www.sspart2.com/
At first I thought, "Oh, it's a porno," and there was a very brief glimmer of interest. (:P) But, nope. It's not even that.
Gee, do you think I should do it? The email said they'd pay $7500 and expect the script in 2 months, but, and call me crazy, I'm a little suspicious.
I am too busy being blinded by their website to give any kind of real response to this.Quote:

Idunno, Spun. You got it in you to write the third entry in a female-driven urban African-American Christian film?
That was a Christian movie? I thought it was lesbian softcore porn, based on the Web site. My bad.
I noticed a PM and was so excited! Then... this. I'm not sure if my self-esteem can take another blow after that double whamy. First my popularity, and then my figure! I don't know if the spammers know how painful their antics are.Quote:

I think I know what is going on here. It's your Agrajag.Quote:

But, um, yeah, Romeo + Juliet would smells like shit regardless of the name.
(Also, the "it's not going to win an Oscar, or anything" defense is by far the worst because it hinges on various levels of misunderstanding)
Fuck you phenylephrine. You are no good to me. And screw you too, US government for practically mandating that any nasal decongestant cheap and easily accessible must be pseudoephedrine-free when pseudoephedrine is about 100x more effective. I will continue to go with behind-the-counter expensive decongestants since they are the only ones that work.
Hey, want to own that house from Ferris Bueller's Day Off?
Word. Phenylephrine is useless.Quote:
