I Like Scrippets Things

UPDATE: It works, although it seems like there’s a space between the character name/dialog, which shouldn’t be there. Probably a bug. I will use this a lot regardless.

I don’t know if any of the rest of you are screenwriters, but John August (who writes like, big boy movies) led the development of a WordPress plug-in that will let you format script pages into your posts.

You can find it here, and I’m going to test it…now. (This is from one of the web series I’m working on.)

INT. SOUP FACTORY/INFIRMARY – DAY

TITLE CARD: ONE YEAR AGO TODAY

A crude infirmary. DOCTOR PORCUPINE and a hot NURSE look over an unseen patient. One of them adjusts an IV.

The hottest chick to ever live ever, KRISTINA VON VENDERVAN, sits next to a bed. She’s holding a VAT of SOUP, and blows the steam from it towards the patient.

KRISTINA

Do you want some soup?

The steam seeps across the face of the patient, TWO GUN GUY. He opens his eyes. Kristina offers a ladle-full of soup.

TWO GUN GUY

What kind of soup?

KRISTINA

Meat. It’s meat soup.

TWO GUN GUY

No.

Two Gun Guy looks around – he sees the IV in his arm, and tries to pull it out. Dr. Porcupine and the Nurse rush in and stop him.

PORCUPINE

Steroids. They’re making you big and strong.

You can’t see it if it’s in an RSS reader, so you’ll need to open this thingie in a browser, so they say.

By the way, my new roommate watched WSM? last night, and then pretty much watched it again right after (with my commentary).

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone like it as much as he did. He, specifically, as an individual, is the exact target audience.

Really, it was fun to see someone who has never had any exposure to me or the old website so totally, completely, 100% “get it”.

    Brian,
    Greg Odens tonsils here. We (Gregs tonsils with no apostrophies or trophies in general) were very sad when you killed your blog. But if you remember correctly during the whole Carnival of the Blogs (or whatev) we told you people WOULD/WILL follow your musings just in general about your life…BECAUSE YOUR FUNNY. You even do “photoshop things” (and we know how much you like “Things”) that make us laugh!!! Tee hee hee. I think the majority of us who respected (even though you didn’t) your previous work will enjoy your work here as well. So post what you want and take chances even in the face of ridicule because your core audience will stay with you…although their patience was tested during that whole “Cack Jobra” affair thingy. So basically “just do it” because “I’m loving it” because you “Tastes great, less filling ” while eating the “Breakfast of champions”. The end.

    No prob man. As the MLB coaches say, “Once you kill a prostitute, get a bottle of bourbon and lysol and go to town”, or it might be “You’ve got great stuff, kid”.
