To Hell With Screenwriting
Fuck screenwriting. Fuck pilots, specs, features, pitches, lunches.

How do I get this gig?

Drinking beer and reporting on a football match. Heaven.

How could I get that job? Seriously.

How? Why am I here, at a desk in a dark concrete bunker with bad coffee and wretched air conditioning?
At my desk, I don't even have two monitors. The new guy set up camp at a desk with two monitors. This is how sad I am: a second monitor would make me happy.

This man in the video, Barry Glendenning, is the smartest man in the world. THE WHOLE WORLD. He gets paid to do that.

This man is my hero.

What happened to my life?
