Hello Scr(i)pt Mag,

Just wanted you to know that I just subscribed to your magazine so I can start reading the articles by Sam and Jim (I'm sure the rest of the mag. will be worthwhile as well)!

A fellow named William Martell has pretty good articles in there too.

New issue just came out...

[Adam Isaac]

Bill,

Tell the subscription folks that your cousin, Lance Martell, needs his first issue ASAP, because he doesn't want to buy the same magazine twice.

Only kidding...hopefully I'll get this in the mail shortly...damn near bought it anyway last night.

[wcmartell]

Actually, I haven't got my issue either.

I saw it on the newsstand and bought a copy.

My issue will come after yours - and everyone else's.

I got my FIRST ISSUE two days ago! The subscription was part of my 'booty' winning in the Arizona Screenplay Competition last month. Whee!! Now I know what Martell looks like!!

[wcmartell]

There's a picture somewhere on my website - the same picture. Taken by a friend of mine who makes his living taunting celebs and then snapping pictures when they explode - and selling them to the tabs. I think I'm the only person ever to ask him to take their picture.

- Bill

[RogerT]

You missed the point, Bill. Now I know what you look like but you don't know what I lool like.

I clearly have the advantage. I think. Or maybe not.

Can I send you a picture of me? Please?
