  • My script got made...

    I just had my first big movie deal... What do y'all think of the dialogue I write? Do I have a bright future?

        That was awesome. And did I spot resident MST3k epic-chin favorite Robert D'Zar http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0120494/ in there? Or is there another chinned-wonder wandering around La La Land?

              The guy with the long black hair sounds like he was trying to imitate Christopher Walken.

                Why would you give a terrible actor like that all that dialogue???

                  That was Zdar... but who's the babe? Oh, she's probably 60 now.

                  This is a whole bunch of crap exposition - no actor could have made it sound good. But the key to writing for guys like that (I have experience, unfortunately) is to give all of the dialogue to the real actor in the scene and let the star do 1-5 word sentences. Also, let the *situation* do the acting. Also, don't ever work with guys like that.

                    And try to shoot the scene with all the actors in the same room.

                      that's cause he was reading from the script prompter.

                              We call that "Brandoing" - and it was probably a sheet of paper with his lines written on it.

                              I worked with a "star" who got $1m a film but could not read - so his assistant read the script into a tape recorder and the star memorized it. Any script changes or ad-libs? Well, he was the star, so that stuff just didn't happen.

                              Nice hair, though.
