Bad Dates


This is an amazing documentary on making Indiana Jones. One thing I found very compelling is how Spielberg is so good at finding the little moments and making a story out of them -- like Marion drinking the shot which wins the drinking contest. It's what Blake Snyder would have probably called "mini 5-point finales". I'm generally terrible at those things.

  1. Yeah, I downloaded this to watch. Saw his Star Wars docs a while back, which are AMAZING.

  2. Dammit! Now I have to watch all the Star Wars ones!
    But we're loading in a set today...

My lawyer says we have to protect ourselves: note that we're constantly developing screenplays, we probably have a screenplay like what you suggest in development. Furthermore, if you suggest an idea for a screenplay you're giving us that idea.
