Wow. Pretty entertaining stuff. She's smart and witty and funny and smart.

Give this gal a movie deal.

Or my phone number.

Her blog is pretty funny. Love the campy pose on the table. I think she's my new heroine.

Heroine is so awkward sounding. Can't I just say hero?

Judging from her blog, she's a fantastic writer.

I like her blog.

Did she have a script written before she was discovered? Or did they just discover her and ask her to write a script?

it usually comes down to being a fantastic writer, but hey, when you have fantastic..... EYES, that helps too.

Leave it to me to be the lone dissenter. I'm bored to death with people whose vulgar, meandering posts about things I don't even care to know about them are praised as brillance. If she writes her script the way she writes her blogs, the film will be a string of "slice of life" scenes with no real point, no real interest and no real brilliance. I hope, I pray that she will create some characters we care about, will devise a discernable plot for them to navigate and will have an ending that gives us something to think about when we leave the theater.

I highly doubt it. I wouldn't assume her memos read like her grocery lists, either, because, you know, they’re totally different things.

I'm willing to bet her blogs sound a whole lot more like her scripts than her blogs sound like a grocery list. Because, they're like, more similar in structure. But I wish her and all new screenwriters well. I'm just bored with "shock schlock" blogs, that's all.
