SCREENWRITING nuggets - THE ICEBERG



Screenwriters create the entire iceberg, but the audience only gets to see what's above the water's surface.

VideOTUS - THERE YOU GO AGAIN 2!

Ronald Reagan was such the movie actor that in the 1984 Presidential Debates, his sequel to the 1980 Presidential Debates, he totally references the original by quoting his "there you go again" and he simply doesn't re-quote himself...

1984

and the original from 1980...

Today in POTUStory - "CRISIS OF CONFIDENCE"

The speech was ahead of its time. The speech is remembered as the "malaise" even though the word never appeared or used by President Jimmy Carter.

Today in POTUStory - AHEAD OF THE TIMES

The audio sucks!

SCREENWRITING nuggets - 30 ROCK & DREAMS, Part 2

SCREENWRITING nuggets - 30 ROCK & Dreams, Part 1

This series from the clip is referenced once in THE DEAD PRESIDENTS, and only visually...THAT's just part of why THE DEAD PRESIDENTS is being kickstarted. I'm a screenwriter, coming up with things so others can bring them to life with their creative talents is part of the fun.

So I'd like to find a talented comic book artist.

Comments to the Internets - The Freedom Party

taken from facebook...
it's funny bc when she came on to the national scene in '08 I thought of her as a TR figure in the GOP...now understand I love TR and do not compare him to her intellectually in any way. If TR were plucked from 1913 and brought to our present, he'd still be smarter than Sarah Palin in 2013. I compare them as young aspiring politician, and that's cool to see a female at a relatively young age shoot for the national scene, like a young TR did. So her "bolting" from the GOP and starting a third party, reminds me of the 1912 election, who's 100 year anniversary we just had and I'd hope for a repeat of party bolting, but with this info it sounds like Palin's Freedom Party would do just what the Progressive Party did to the 1912 election and divide the GOP vote, as well as the progressive vote (Wilson was running as a progressive just as TR was), but gave the election to the Democrats. I don't think, however that the Freedom Party would come in second place as TR's Progressive Party did...the only 3rd Party to come in second place both in the popular vote and the Electoral College. Other Third Parties have won States (and thus Electoral College Votes) since TR's Third Party and 1968's General Election was the last time a third party won any States and 1972 for an electoral college vote because of a "faithless elector". If the Freedom Party happens...maybe it'd win States, but like 1968's it'll be the States formerly known as the Confederate States of America.
