Well, the script is off to an OK start, but I need to get a lot of pages done this weekend since I'll be gone from Saturday through Sept. 14. I have to work on Labor Day, so I don't have a full weekend to write (and I'm not complaining since I volunteered because I need the extra cash). And, I better get used to a five-day work week for the time being. At least I have a little break tomorrow; this has been one of the worst weeks of work I've had in a while, and it was only three days! Ugh.
I started out the story with the evolution of Captain Venture's costume, from a '70s leisure suit, such as above right, to '80s spandex, to cool digs that look like the X-Men uniforms from the movies. A warning to all who know me well: I've found that this genre has given me the perfect venue to spew forth lots of puns.
Austin's submission will be used, though the obsessive-compulsive will start out as a supervillain. Any other ideas would be appreciated.
And because I did scripts in college and also the mockumentary format, editing shouldn't take too long. I think this will be ready to read not too long after I finish.
Page count: 5.

Hey George. The whole time I read The Case of The Four and Twenty Blackbirds by Neil Gaiman (http://www.neilgaiman.com/exclusive/4&20.asp) I kept thinking that I wasn't enjoying it half as much as you might.
I hope you find this half as enjoyable as I think you will.
That was awesome.
And Humpty Dumpty getting knocked off -- eggscellent stuff.
Ah...mockumentary.
Whatever happened to "Beat the Meat"?
Unless it got killed in your hard drive crash, you might have the only copy in existence, unless Andy Horton also has a hard copy. (Ugh, did I actually just suggest a hard copy of "Beat the Meat"?)
That's sad. I liked that script.
Me, too. I wish we could have shot it. We had put a lot of work in it together, anyway. I wish we had taken the time to see it through.
We should get going on "Mild Mannered."
