Good Day Mr. Kubrick

Posted in WTF on October 30th, 2006 by William Speruzzi

One Brian Atene tries to get the attention of one Stanley Kubrick via a 1984 audition tape for Full Metal Jacket. Master thespian, Juilliard graduate and all around pretentious ass [yes, I am aware that the blog says the filmmaking of william speruzzi and that could be very easily misconstrued as pretentious but I'm not even close to this guy] Atene felt the need to let the world know that he is still alive by sending us a 2006 audition tape. All I have to say is “Stay gold Pony Boy, stay gold.”

[Archive] Good Deal

Posted in Archive on October 29th, 2006 by William Speruzzi

Originally posted 2.12.2006. Since that original post WSF has added Done Deal Pro to the mix. Currently, this offer is $35 a year until December.

What would a New Yorker want with the Wisconsin Screenwriter’s Forum? Well, probably the same thing you will want. I came across this great offer. With a $25 membership fee you get access to the Hollywood Creative Directory, Daily Variety Online and IMDb Pro. Collectively would cost over $500. Give it a look…

I’ve been waiting to see the film Harsh Times hit theaters for a while now but probably not as long as writer/director David Ayer has. Read this Times article on his distribution woes for the film. [Sigh]

Tell Me About It

Posted in WTF on October 24th, 2006 by William Speruzzi

The Onion!Marty, Marty, Marty. How they disrespect you so. The director of Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Good Fellas and Casino has gotten snubbed repeatedly by the Academy so now he’s doing something about it.

A very funny look at the major injustice that is Marty’s track record at the Academy Awards. Check out his bid for this year’s Oscar.
