Peer Production: JUSTE DE L’EAU
Nice still, huh? You ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. JUSTE DE L’EAU is, to us, nothing less than beautifully inscrutable.
Hint for those looking for meaning: Ever get that feeling that you’re alone, oh-so-alone, even when you’re in a crowd? (Or, if you’re like most writers we know, especially when you’re in a crowd?)
Love & Money Dept – TV Writing Deals for 2/14/14
Latest News About Writers Who Are Doing Better Than We Are=&0=& Regina Hicks & Karin Gist (nope, Yers Trooly has no idea who they are) are writing DRUMLINE: A NEW BEAT, a sequel to DRUMLINE (um, not the New Beat, it seems) as a TV movie for VH1. (And it’s going to star Nick Cannon again! Ooh! Well, better Nick than his diva wife whatsername anyway.)
Andre & Maria Jacquemetton (MAD MEN) are adapting the comic book DMZ into a drama series at Syfy. (Another hit in the making! After all, who can resist a future in which Manhattan is the demilitarized zone in a future post civil war – yeppers, a new one, not that business with Abe Lincoln and all – ? Still, ya gotta wonder. How much more chewy comic book goodness can TV audiences that aren’t as nutso as some of us take?)
Did You Know There are Oscars for College Film Students?
by Team TVWriter™ Press Service
We didn’t either. (Oh, wait. Maybe we did. Seems to me we’ve written this opening before. Well, it isn’t something that sticks in our minds, probably cuz nobody here at TVWriter™ is eligible. Shazbot!)
Anyway, here’s the whole story for 2014:
Channing Tatum, The Academy, and Oscars Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron today announced the winners of the “Team Oscar” college search on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” along with this year’s Oscars host, Ellen DeGeneres. The winners will deliver Oscar statuettes to celebrity presenters at the Oscars on Sunday, March 2, 2014, live on ABC.
Peer Production: PLATOON OF POWER SQUADRON
A web drama series that we actually enjoy. (And we say that as people who are much more likely to want to watch something and laugh our butts off instead of worry about, you know, something bad happening to the heroes.
Oh, we also like the way this series pretends to deconstruct the whole heroic saga notion while actually injecting it with fresh, and vibrant, life.
Check out the first episode. (Don’t worry. There are plenty more.)
