Is Ken Levine comedy writing’s Larry Brody? What would either of them think if they were asked?
Oh dear. If we had to ask that second question, that means we’re worried that the answer wouldn’t go down well. And if we’re worried about it, then it probably won’t. So forget we said anything. No comparisons from here, no sir. Just, you know, read:

Here’s a question I get (and am happy to answer) every year.
From Peggy’s blog comes this heartwarming yet embarrassing article (at least that’s its effect on Our Fearsome Leader, LB, who was taken totally by surprise by what Peggy has written):

What? Confidential screener DVDs sent out to Motion Picture Academy members (and WGA and DG members too) are ending up on the web? The peeps within the Industry are betraying their golden geese? Biting the hands that feed them?
Maybe it’s just us, but this doesn’t seem like such a bad thing at all. Or as “enigmax” puts it on TorrentFreak.Com:
John’s writing about comic book writers, but until you’re an established TV/film pro that net is pretty damn tenuous too:

As the comics world knows, writer Peter David recently had a stroke. I’ve known Peter for a long time and I both respect and often envy his talent, skill and the breadth of his work. Peter has health insurance but there are plenty of bills that just won’t get covered and, as pointed out here on ComicMix, fans who want to show financial support can do so by purchasing his work at Crazy 8 Press. That’s incredibly easy; not only do your help Peter and his family but will probably get a damn fine read out of it at the same time. Like I said, Peter is a very talented writer.
Time now for the third and final installment of my mini-reviews of the screeners I’ve received from Oscar, DGA, and WGA award contenders.
The first time around, I reported on 5 films. The second time, I gave my opinion of 4. Now – well, now I’m so thoroughly disgusted with the films various studios are touting as the best of 2012 that all I can talk about is 1.
Yep, 1. Pathetic, isn’t it? A true testament to crappy film making. Or, maybe, to my intolerance and short attention span. You be the judge.
