Transcript EURO Open Chat and USA Actor Kevin Brown aka Dot Com from 30 ROCK - Jan 23, 2011


TOPIC: EURO – open chat
             USA – Actor Kevin Brown @dotcom30rock aka Dot Com of 30 ROCK

EURO chat was an open topic, which are probably the most fun chats of all.  You never know what will come up.  USA chat had the privilege of having actor and comedian Kevin Brown @dotcom30rock of 30 Rock guesting.  It’s a treat for writers to get to crawl in the mind of actors.  There’s so much to learn about our craft and the people we trust to deliver our words.  We are grateful to have had Kevin share his thoughts with us.  Please read and enjoy! @jeannevb

8:10 pm            Pale_Jewel:            #scriptchat for e.g. In the film,a line is: "go and touch yourself" I remember thinking, geeze I would've written masturbate.. ..
8:10 pm            Jonathan_Peace:            @jlichtenberg I'd say my sense of fun/humour is prevalent through my writing Don't know if that's special but I think its unique #scriptchat
8:11 pm            Pale_Jewel:            #scriptchat Turns out that in the script it was masturbate.

8:12 pm            DreamsGrafter:            @Robert296hewitt I saw yr tweet earlier re yr ex. Is that why you've not been writing? #scriptchat
8:13 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @DreamsGrafter lol... no but it's weird that the director or whoever changed it for the film. Something to consider. #scriptchat
8:13 pm            DreamsGrafter:            RT @JLichtenberg: @dreamsgrafter @Jonathan_Peace #scriptchat A good story has something to SAY, but poses it as a question w/o "on the nose" answer
8:13 pm            Robert296hewitt:            #Scriptchat there are always slight differences in scripts n movies n the scripts are normally better. @Pale_Jewel
8:14 pm            Robert296hewitt:            #Scriptchat @DreamsGrafter pretty much yeah. Lol. Just had a lot going on in my head so can't focus.
8:14 pm            DreamsGrafter:            @Pale_Jewel Am so intrigued to read. I'm falling for Aronofsky more and more since Requiem For A Dream. #scriptchat
8:14 pm            JLichtenberg:            @jonathan_peace #scriptchat "give me something the same but different" means sense of humor shld not be "too unique"
8:15 pm            Jonathan_Peace:            i plan to go into the meeting with confidence, a desire to learn, and a hope of advancement. It's a win either way #scriptchat
8:15 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @DreamsGrafter I think he's extremely talented. But I'm hot and cold with the stories he picks. This one was up my alley. #scriptchat
8:15 pm            JLichtenberg:            RT @Robert296hewitt: #Scriptchat there are always slight differences in scripts n movies n the scripts are normally better. @Pale_Jewel
8:15 pm            janetvaneeden:            RT @DreamsGrafter: @Pale_Jewel Am so intrigued to read. I'm falling for Aronofsky more and more since Requiem For A Dream. #scriptchat
8:16 pm            JLichtenberg:            @robert296hewitt #scriptchat as writers, we're readers first, so the written script has to seem "better" - so WHAT CHANGES?
8:16 pm            Robert296hewitt:            @Jonathan_Peace wear you butt kissing boots as well! I'm sure that's how it works a lot of the time. #scriptchat
8:16 pm            DreamsGrafter:            @Pale_Jewel I haven't seen Pi or the one w/ Rachel Weisz ... just Requiem, Wrestler and Black Swan. Which didn't take yr fancy? #scriptchat
8:17 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @DreamsGrafter They're all really good, but as an audience member I prefer the dark, strange nonreality type stories. #scriptchat
8:17 pm            paper_castle:            Really think Black Swan has been his best since Pi. Both have the same claustrophobia that he does so well #scriptchat
8:18 pm            DreamsGrafter:            Btw, a general question ... are there any topics you'd like to see on #scriptchat?
8:18 pm            Robert296hewitt:            @JLichtenberg I'm guessing the people in charge change things for censorship n such other things. Kind of takes away from the... #scriptchat
8:18 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @DreamsGrafter So although Requeim for a Dream and The Wrestler were brilliant; their reality based stories didn't turn me on #scriptchat
8:18 pm            DreamsGrafter:            @Pale_Jewel Could you recommend title(s)? I'd love to discover. #scriptchat
8:18 pm            filmutopia:            #scriptchat Hi guys, what is the topic this week? I can't guarantee that I'll be free for the whole session
8:18 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @paper_castle Agree #scriptchat
8:19 pm            DreamsGrafter:            @paper_castle I really need/want to see Pi! #scriptchat
8:19 pm            Robert296hewitt:            @JLichtenberg hard work us writers put into it but at the same time maybe it needs to be done. #scriptchat
8:19 pm            JLichtenberg:            @pale_jewel @dreamsgrafter #scriptchat if U prefer "dark, strange, nonreality" story, what happens when Ur assigned to WRITE sweet romance?
8:19 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @DreamsGrafter As a writer...look at Requiem and Pi. ;) #scriptchat
8:19 pm            DreamsGrafter:            @filmutopia Hi Clive. It's an open topic tonight so there are a few strands happening at the mo. #scriptchat
8:20 pm            AlexisNiki:            Can anyone think of great film scenes that stay in a single character's point of view? Need them for a coaching session... #scriptchat
8:20 pm            paper_castle:            @DreamsGrafter Not seen Pi for years, but I would recommend you watch it late at night (not an afternoon film) #scriptchat
8:20 pm            art1032:            @DreamsGrafter 4 quadrant script examples and what makes them fit into each of the 4 quads. :) #scriptchat
8:20 pm            AlexisNiki:            @filmutopia Hi there! #scriptchat
8:20 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @JLichtenberg Well I'm speaking in terms of audience... as someone who watches films. As a writer we need to adapt. #scriptchat
8:20 pm            JLichtenberg:            @robert296hewitt #scriptchat have U noticed how when a "producer-only" type writes a script, it lacks something?
8:20 pm            Robert296hewitt:            @Pale_Jewel @dreamsgrafter I have heard black swan described as fight club in a tutu. Would this be accurate? #scriptchat
8:21 pm            DreamsGrafter:            @Pale_Jewel I LOVE Requiem ... looks like Pi's next on my list! :) #scriptchat
8:21 pm            thewritertype:            #scriptchat Aronofsky seems to like to beat all his protagonists up: wrestler, ballerina, junkie - all end up trashed.
8:21 pm            filmutopia:            @DreamsGrafter OK, I'll lurk and see if anything pops for me. #scriptchat
8:21 pm            Jonathan_Peace:            Hey #scriptchat have a listen to @OklahomaWard on @filmcourage http://ow.ly/3IIeL
8:22 pm            JLichtenberg:            @art1032 @dreamsgrafter #scriptchat but if Ur not, personally, a member of all 4 quads, can you write 4-quad scripts well? If so, how?
8:22 pm            paper_castle:            @Robert296hewitt Black Swan is Repulsion + Carrie + Possession in a tutu. #scriptchat
8:22 pm            filmcourage:            RT @Jonathan_Peace: Hey #scriptchat have a listen to @OklahomaWard on @filmcourage http://ow.ly/3IIeL

8:22 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @Robert296hewitt lol...I have to admit I never once thought of Fight Club when I watched it... it is dark. #scriptchat
8:22 pm            Robert296hewitt:            @JLichtenberg yes! They lack personality because as a producer they know what they can n can't get away with I think. #scriptchat
8:23 pm            DreamsGrafter:            RT @AlexisNiki: Can anyone think of great film scenes that stay in a single character's point of view? Need them for a coaching session... #scriptchat
8:23 pm            eph_bee:            @thewritertype don't forget protagonist in Pi taking a drill to his temple #scriptchat
8:23 pm            JLichtenberg:            @thewritertype #scriptchat "test to destruction" is best way to wring drama out of a character. "What's worst thing cld happn to him?"
8:23 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @paper_castle @Robert296hewitt Yes...much better description! #scriptchat
8:23 pm            JLichtenberg:            @thewritertype #scriptchat the question then becomes "what kind of person will he be after surviving the worst that can happen?"
8:24 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @DreamsGrafter #scriptchat Not sure if you've done it already but maybe a scripchat on dealing with producers notes on changing your script?
8:24 pm            JLichtenberg:            RT @AlexisNiki: Can anyone think of great film scenes that stay in a single character's point of view? Need them for a coaching session... #scriptchat
8:24 pm            DreamsGrafter:            @thewritertype I do wonder about his life when I watch his films. #lovethisstyle #scriptchat
8:24 pm            eph_bee:            @AlexisNiki how about that awesome oldboy one-take corridor fight scene, from one rolling camera? Or do you want character/pov? #scriptchat
8:25 pm            Robert296hewitt:            @paper_castle @DreamsGrafter @Pale_Jewel it does kind if sound interesting. Plus isnt there a good scene with kunis and portman? #scriptchat
8:25 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @thewritertype Yeah that's cool though that he doesn't go with the hollywood happy resolution #scriptchat
8:25 pm            JLichtenberg:            @dreamsgrafter @AlexisNiki #scriptchat single pov TV drama scene is 1st Leonard Nimoy directed, Spock crying
8:25 pm            Pale_Jewel:            @Robert296hewitt @paper_castle @DreamsGrafter Girl on Girl action in Black Swan is... hot..(ahem) #scriptchat
8:26 pm            DreamsGrafter:            @Pale_Jewel *takes note* Will try to find a producer to guest for that topic. Thanks! #scriptchat
8:26 pm            DreamsGrafter:            @JLichtenberg @art1032 Sorry but what's a 4-quad script? #scriptchat
8:27 pm            JLichtenberg:            @robert296hewitt #scriptchat Producer thinks visually, writer thinks abstract - GREAT FILM needs amalgam of both
8:27 pm            filmutopia:            @DreamsGrafter I did learn something useful this week. It is that a good script and a good reputation creates opportunities #scriptchat

8:28 pm            JLichtenberg:            @pale_jewel #scriptchat "as a writer we need to adapt" OK, but if it's not "faking it" then what Ur doing is actually ACTING
8:28 pm            thewritertype:            @JLichtenberg #scriptchat For Aronofsky testing characters to the limit seems to mean testing their bodies to destruction
8:28 pm            AlexisNiki:            RT @filmutopia: @DreamsGrafter I did learn something useful this week. A good script and a good reputation creates opportunities #scriptchat

8:30 pm            JLichtenberg:            @thewritertype #scriptchat yes, "TESTING BODY TO DESTRUCTION" is what a visual writer will do instead of testing "character" to destruction
8:30 pm            Robert296hewitt:            @Pale_Jewel @paper_castle @dreamsgrafter I think I may have to check it out. Kunis is hot. #scriptchat

8:34 pm            JLichtenberg:            @filmutopia #scriptchat I picked up 4-quad reference frm prior tweet here, but yes 4-act does reach all 4 demographics easier; low attn span
8:35 pm            dodgyjammer:            @DreamsGrafter Haha, I leave phone upstairs and unplug all landlines because I'm hardcore like that. #scriptchat
8:35 pm            Robert296hewitt:            #Scriptchat @DreamsGrafter I think one of the discussions should be who would play you in a film about you. Lol. Mine would Colin Farrell.

8:37 pm            filmutopia:            @JLichtenberg Not the reason I use it. Four act provides a better arc for the protagonist and makes the mid point better #scriptchat
8:37 pm            DreamsGrafter:            @Robert296hewitt Haha, I know who wld play be but I'll tell you about it when you come to a #scriptchat drinks. ;D
