"Their last picture really sucked", "I have the money" and "it may be rewritten, but not my dialogue, more plot stuff would be rewritten" were highlights of this Chiara-Rod conversation until Danielle squashed it. BTW, most optioned scripts are NOT produced.

I heard Chiara say ROddy would be coming back to NY after the show was over because his movie was being made in NY and PA. (I heard this days ago.)

Does anyone else know anything about this?

(And before anyone jumps all over me about wanting to know too much about the hgs, I'm just mildly curious...)

I reject this characterisation. Some famous writers were never published in their lifetimes. Does this mean they are not writers? Of course not.

Anyone who writes is a writer.

If Roddy writes screenplays, that almost certainly means he has an agent. Yet another HG with a prior show-biz connection.

Emily Dickinson! had to include one of my fav poems by this great unpublished writer during her life time.

I'm Nobody! Who Are You

I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us--don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.

How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!

Sorry, Ocean, I am a writer, too; to be sure, you are as well :) I meant my aside in the context of it being listed as his profession on the BB3 website and on the show. I'm pretty sure that's been discussed here before...Roddy would have definitely had an agent when his script was optioned. It's rare for an unsolicited script to get read, never mind optioned! It must be in pre-production at least, becaise I've read he's told Chia that he'll be in NY on location for the shoot after the show. I wonder what his script is about...maybe he'll talk about it more.
LOL Molly!

Love the name.

I'm a writer...in my own mind.

I can't begin to tell you...Well..I really can.

It makes me..cry..when I see how beautiful the words are that spill out of my brain to the page.

And laugh...Oh my God !! I laugh like a maniac when I write humorous things. Funny...I mean..Funny. Some times I laugh so hard...I fart.

Then..proudly...I place my works of art in the hands of a trusted friend..someone who knows what real emotion and talent is all about.

I sit back and watch her read.

The range of emotions are...unbelievable...huge tears..half a box of tissue tears. Uncontroled laughter..rolling on the floor type laughter...I may be wrong but I even think I heard a...fart...a little one mind you..kinda like a squeek.

I start laughing this maniacal laugh...You dog..I say to myself..you've done it again.

My friend hands me back my manuscripts. Hunter you dog...she says....You've done it again.

Hunter..my love. These are the most beautiful and funny stories I have ever read.

Propping my chair against the wall...swinging my feet like a little kid who just pleased his teacher.

Then...I am horrifed to realize...

She was laughing like hell at my emotion packed love story...and crying her eyes out as she read my comedic work.

A lesson in humility for a...would be writer.

Peace and Love to You

tee hee Hunter you tickled my funny bone.

A personal favourite is snorting Coke (as in cola) out of ones nose after reading the boards... sticky sticky monitor.

(Not good to while driving a car either).

PS as for the little squeak try this...

i would like to know the subject matter of roddy's screenplay, if there really is one. that would be interesting, don't you think? it would be hilarious if it was a 'teen movie' romp!

Hunter: 'Snee I love you...will you come to my next book signing....'
hunter, i think you are playing me like roddy is stringing along chiara! when i find out how you've equivocated to julie, you'd better watch out! *menacing look* ...but thanks for the raspberries!

the best thing about Emily Dickinson's poems is that one can sing them to the melody of Gilligan's Island. Maybe the same is true of Roddy's film scripts.

Oh....My.....God She compares me to Roddy.

Views me with a menacing eye...calls me a player.

Is Roddy creative...is he consistant...does he know how to make an ass of himself in the interest of having fun in the BB Fan Club.

And...and...Did he invite you to his book signing.

How can you forget...Crystal Lake...dancing in the moonlight at the end of the pier...music drifting across the lake from the band playing on the pavilion at Millers Lodge. The fireflies dancing around our heads like little lanterns. The wind blowing your dress with reckless abandon. Sharing a bowl of raspberries. (notice how I've spelled it correctly..twice)

I have the distinct feeling that you are giving me the....raspberries. I'm hurt (smile)

emily dickinson--gilligan's island? hehe, didn't know that! roddy's script? hmm, sounds like the parody thread!

would rod's screenplay be serious,
the smartest he could make?
would it be intellectual,
or funny by mistake?!
(or funny by mistake...)

hunter, you are a leader astray of threads and of snees!

Hunter

I have never been a leader of strays

I have been lad astray a few times

Have I strayed from the threads...yep

Have I led Snee astray...obviously

Wait....you didn't mean to say...ashtray

If that's the case. I plead...guilty...although I have never heard of a leader ashtray...you must have meant..lead....ashtray....full of buts..or maybe..having a ..full butt.

Whaaaaaaaam...slapping myself in the face.

Sorry if I disrupted the thread...or...led Snee astray.

Back on topic...I really would like to see what Roddy wrote.

I promise never to stray again....fingers crossed behind my back.

This show can drive you...nuts

Snee...My Friend

I was having coffee this morning and a slice of wry when it hit me...like a crystal clear diamond...shot out of a cannon..right between my eyes. That's a pretty clarifing thing....ya have to admit it.

Anyway..right between the coffee and the wry...wait...that's redundant.

Anyway....I realized that you weren't saying that I was full of...butts...but...that I was full of sh.t.
It's true...I am...but in a nice way.

Besides...everybody needs a slice of wry once in a while.

To the kind monitor who has allowed me to banter on...I thank you.

This really will be my last post on this thread.
