looking for something to write about...

Ok, how's this.

It's amazing about the quality of scriptwriting out there. I'm associated with a group that meets every week to go over loglines. Loglines are 1 to 4 sentences describing the general story of a script. (this restriction is seldom adhered to). If we like the story, we request the script. The person in charge of the group has been collecting them since 2002, so we go through about 100 a weekend. Right now we're in April of last year.

And most of them are pretty pretty bad. I've read countless ideas that revolve around 'And then his/her ex-lover/one-night stand began to mess stuff up.' Two weeks ago there was one featuring a half-Vampire/half-elf.

At least they had the deceny to spend two lines describing the total body count of the film, in detail.

Not to make you think I'm being harsh. There are good ideas in there, and quite a few we've ordered scripts for. The only criterion is Is this a movie WE want to see?. There's just so many off ideas that I really feel better about writing in general. Cream will rise to the top.
