This is scary (well, it isn’t, not technically speaking, but you get the idea) (I much prefer the way that Holy Moly reports the same story here).
Glad to see that what I talked about earlier in the year here is all coming true (or not, as the case may be).
Unfit For Print – the blog that’s bizarrely prescient. Whoooo... (cue The X-Files theme tune).

Following in Uncle Kenneth's footsteps, in a way, I guess. Ahem.
I love the line "used the Final Draft computer programme to write it up" - I know writers can get all totemic about favourite pens and notebooks and the like, but I don't expect to see it in news reports... strange!
By the way, have e-mailed you re RPP comments - short version: you're quite right. Ta!

Hi John - I liked the line about "all stories having three acts - well, most of them do." Arf! I've never used FInal Draft myself - bit like a posh word processor, isn't it? ;-)
Dammit! I wrote a post just a few days ago about the difference in quality between US and UK drama. Now we know why don't we ... the Americans must all have Final Draft! Bastards!
The way that Geri tells it, all you have to do is feed in a few plot points into Final Draft, press the magic button and hey presto! Scriptual nirvana. That said, who am I argue with 'Weird Bellybutton' Spice?
Though she's oddly spot-on about not all films having three acts - the 'Fantastic 4' seems to be missing a second act.

The Fantastic Four - *shudder*. From what I remember of it there's a big set piece on a bridge that's absolutely stuffed to the gills with convenient coincidences, a real pet hate of mine. As for the sequel - if you haven't seen it, try and resist the temptation - it gives the word 'random' a bad name!
