I was driving home from a features meeting yesterday listening to Scriptnotes, a podcast by Craig Mazin and John August. If you are an aspiring screenwriter and you haven’t found Scriptnotes yet, I highly encourage it. Craig plays the cranky rich guy who grumbles when a screenwriter finds this job hard while John soothes with … [Read more…]
[warning: the tiniest bit spoilery, but not really.] [scripty] TILDA leaves at the end of a scene where Channing Tatum is asking for a loan.
