Scripting Through Time: “The Horns of Nimon” Doctor Who Script

I’ve been a huge ‘Doctor Who’ fan since before I could drink and fu…. uh, err, ummm… I mean to say drink milk and have fun.  Yay!  Milk and fun. 

The Horns of Nimon (4)My first and favorite ‘Doctor Who?’  Why Tom Baker of course.  I’m not ashamed to admit that I used to go to ‘Doctor Who’ conventions when I was a kid.  Though I may not admit it on a first date – or a second, maybe third or tenth date.  Probably best to wait until after the wedding.  (Let’s just say that I’m very happy ‘Doctor Who’ has finally gone main stream.)

The Force of the First Draft of “The Star Wars” Script

The-Star-Wars-ComicAs any true Star Wars fan knows by now, George Lucas’s first draft of “Star Wars” was radically different than what we eventually saw on screen.  And I mean radically different!  I think it’s the perfect example of why you don’t shoot your first draft and serves as a lesson to all writers that the real writing begins with the rewrite.

Shia LaBeouf Steals Homeless Man’s Bag

Shia LaBeouf tortured artist?  Plagiarist?  Lactose intolerant? Or just plain cruel human being? 

Shia Labeouf Homeless Man with Logo

In this first segment I like to call “Shia LaBeouf’s Bag of Shame,” well, the bag of shame goes to Shia LaBeouf.  News sources (don’t quote me) tell me that Shia LaBeouf apparently, most likely, allegedly, categorically, fundamentally, inconceivably, and most certainly doubtfully stole a homeless man’s paper bag to wear over his head on his red carpet walk at an international film festival in Berlin so that he could proclaim that he was “not famous anymore.’

guardians-of-the-galaxy-logo1I’ll admit that I know very little about this property. 

WIKI ON…

“Guardians of the Galaxy is an upcoming American science fiction superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name. It is produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. The film is intended to be the tenth installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film is written and directed by James Gunn, with a story by Gunn and Nicole Perlman, and features an ensemble cast including Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper, Lee Pace, Michael Rooker, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, and Benicio del Toro. In Guardians of the Galaxy, an American pilot named Peter Quill finds himself the object of a manhunt after stealing an orb coveted by the villainous Ronan. In order to evade Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a group of misfits including Gamora, Rocket, Drax the Destroyer and Groot. But when Quill discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand — with the galaxy’s fate in the balance.”

“Say It Ain’t So” Comic Strip Pilot

Say It Aint So FinalHere is a Comic Strip that I developed years back.  It was a ‘test strip’ for a possible comic strip series.  For various reasons, I never pursued it beyond this one panel.  I wrote the ‘test strip’ while a very talented artistic friend (Sean McMenemy) did the art work.  I may consider revisiting it soon and making it a series on this site.

Jailbird Bieber: Why This Makes Me Strangely Happy

This is the headline I awoke to early this morning on CNN’s site.

CNN Bieber Arrest Pic

Justin Bieber was arrested for DUI, resisting arrest, and driving with an expired license.  Apparently his street racing caught the eyes of the police.  I would think that the cops would know by now that racing isn’t nearly as much fun if you actually have a license and are completely sober.  I only do mine “in-the-gutter drunk.”
