...but not done, done. My scriptwriting final project that is. I chose to continue on with my film idea, "Hitting on McQueen." It was more than a school project; it wound up being a pet project as well. I have visions of it being submitted to contests, and getting agency representation from it....however, I have to finish it first: hence, the done, but not done. I have 32 pages written, of at least 100-120, figuring 1 page per minute of film, etc.
I'd post it here, but I fear criticism. So, I'm going to wait until I finish it first, and get comments back from Wine, and then possibly post it. I offer you instead, a collection of quotes from him, as said in Scriptwriting and Film as Art. Enjoy.
"If you don't think that Citizen Kane is the best movie ever made, you can go fuck yourself."
Bill Wine, Film As Art, 1/16/02
"They're blueprints. And thats why there are so many rich, alcoholic, unhappy writers."
Bill Wine, Scriptwriting, 4/4/02, on movies made of books.
"I'm a prostitute! I admit it!"
Bill Wine, Scriptwriting, 4/9/02, on selling out.
"This is precisely the time to jump on the ALF-wagon!"
Bill Wine, Scriptwriting, 4/9/02, on a student's ALF adaptation for a movie.
"Hold that thought; Fuck the Internet."
Bill Wine, 4/24/02, on movie information gained from the Internet.
"I have no opinion, in case the room is taped by my wife..."
Bill Wine, 4/24/02, while discussing "When Harry Met Sally" and whether a man and woman can really just be friends.
and finally, for posterity....
Thanks for the quotes, Professor Wine.
