Playing catch up this weekend
Thanks to everyone who's been sending me their thoughts regarding my last issue of "Director's Cut" concerning the differences between the Deep Impact that's in theaters and the original draft I read. Of the hundreds of emails I've received, the most often asked question is: "Where can I get my hands on the original script?"
I won't be posting any scripts on CA due to two reasons: one, CA isn't the best place on the 'net to read scripts, and two, the people and companies that purchase said scripts may be a little bit upset if I suddenly post their owned copyrights. Your best bet is to look for a store that sells scripts in your town. If that's not possible, or the store doesn't have the DI script, you can purchase scripts through companies that specialize in selling movie scripts. I don't want to recommend any places because I don't know what their service is like: the scripts I get are either through friends or anonymous contributions sent my way.
Whatever you do, remember to look for the *original* draft of Deep Impact and not the revised filming draft. The earlier draft will have the scenes and dialog that were removed from what you saw in theaters.
The official "The Horse Whisperer" site is in full swing
Demographics: an ugly word, but worth major points in "Scrabble".
I wouldn't be asking you to take the survey if I didn't think there was a point, but I feel that CA's audience is incredibly diverse. I continue to take some pride in seeing a high number of emails sent by people all over the globe, by professionals and fans of movies, by both men and women. A lot of people think that the classic computer user is a young white male working in the computer industry and I'm happy to say that's just not the case with CA readers (even though this is was written by a young white male who is presently employed by the computer industry -- yeah yeah, ha ha.) Instead, based on the email I've read, there's a wide variety of people who are interested in seeing many different types of films, and I think that's a strength that should be acknowledged.
And there's bait: the people putting together the survey are offering prizes (including the chance to win 100 videocassettes of your favorite movies.) Oooo, free stuff!
If it's up your alley, go for it. If not, it's not a big deal. Either way, thanks!
