Oh, my poor screenplay. You are like a Murakami novel meets The Sting meets a Greek tragedy starring James Spader. And all of this in eight pages.

*pokes*

But that is impressive in its own right!

Yes. Just not the kind of impressive that'll inspire my prof to give me an A.

Please say it has a jazz trombonist. It's not like a Murakami novel unless it has a jazz trombonist. Or extended conversation on wells.

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

It has neither, but it does have a professor specializing in the Byzantine Empire who was once the world's best Risk player and whose wife is dead.

How can someone be the best Risk player? Roll lots of sixes? Seems more like luck than anything else.

What about cats?

[3pipeproblem.livejournal.com]

There's strategy! Mostly luck, though.

Alas, he has a dog. I'd change it to a cat, but I'm kind of attached to it (not that it'll appear in the actual film). It's a Scottish Terrier named Justice.

However, I haven't yet written the dialogue, so there'll probably be a conversation about women's earlobes/Beethoven/Truffaut/wells/jazz.

A+ - Professor Karly, Bachelor of You Rock.

Ha! I didn't even get to the part about it having (minor) characters named Jimmy and Caleb.

I'm seeing a spin-off here: Jimmy and Caleb Are Dead.

I have not spent the past two days researching and writing an essay on the existential/psychological/metaphysical aspects of Hamlet and related subject material.
