I said yes and a few weeks later the meaning, content and relevance of the project changed completely. There was still a desire to do the show on the part of the network and I felt it was important to become part of the national dialogue about what it meant to be an American when America was under attack. I wrote the piece in October and November, 2001.<br /><br />In the scene, the powerful matriarch of the Garrison family has a quiet chat with a new senator from Colorado, recently appointed to complete the term of a beloved politician who died in office. It takes place in the library of the Garrison house in Georgetown during a dinner party at which the President of the United States is expected.<br /><br />I gave Mrs. Garrison my take on this country and had the great good fortune to have my two-cents delivered by Helen Mirren. Andrew McCarthy plays the idealistic senator.<br /><br />The pilot was not picked up by the network and has never been shown to the public. So, a world premiere right there on your computer and in your iPod.<br /><br />Something you won't get from listening to the dialogue: The photograph Mrs. Garrison refers to as hanging over the mantel in the library is by O.Winston Link. Here's a reproduction:<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/1600/rrlink02lg.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/400/rrlink02lg.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/1600/clearing.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/320/clearing.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <br /><br /> <i> Helen Mirren</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Handwritten Theatre: Summer Bonus Track #4<br />Performed by Helen Mirren and Andrew McCarthy<br />Running time: 6:08<br />All audiences<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />O.

This time we're going back to the Gulf War...the first Gulf War. At the time, I was one of the writers of <i>thirtysomething</i> and I took the opportunity to write about the disturbing trend toward lockstep patriotism the first Bush administration was pushing down our throats at the time.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/1600/brcrf15.0.gif"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/400/brcrf15.0.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><i>thirtysomething</i> was a series about the lives of two friends who worked in an advertising agency. In an episode I called <i>A Stop at Willoughby</i>, in an unsubtle tribute to Rod Serling, Michael Steadman is at odds with agency head Miles Drentell over a client's demand to fire an actor from an endorsement contract because of his temerity to appear at an anti-war rally. It was a way for me to articulate the very queasy feeling I was getting about the right-wing shift the country was experiencing. At the time, we thought it couldn't get any worse. Yikes.<br /><br />I'd like to say the episode now feels like a quaint artifact of another period in American history, something we've all gotten over. But I realize this scene is more relevant now than it was when it was first broadcast on May 14, 1991. It sounds like I wrote it yesterday.<br /><br />In the scene, Michael and two associates are pitching an alternative commercial to save the contract of the actor, Randy Towers, who has offended the patriarch of Durstin Ale.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/1600/milemike.0.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/400/milemike.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><i>Miles Drentell (David Clennon) and Michael Steadman (Ken Olin)</i><br /><br />Handwritten Theatre: Summer Bonus Track #3<br />Performed by David Clennon, Ken Olin, Andra Millian, Richard Cummings, Jr.<br />Running Time: 9:34<br />All Audiences<br /><br /><br /><br /><i>thirtysomething</i> has never been released on DVD or VHS, but there is a volume of scripts out there.<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/1600/dbf7124128a06254cbfc7010._AA152_.L.0.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/400/dbf7124128a06254cbfc7010._AA152_.L.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?link_code=ur2&tag=handwrittenth-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fproduct%2F0671735772%2Fsr%3D1-1%2Fqid%3D1154972131%2Fref%3Dpd_bbs_1%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks"><b><i>thirtysomething stories</i></a></b>Joseph Doughertyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14697410047131708043noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18013962.post-1153030901784304472006-07-24T08:34:00.000-07:002006-09-28T09:24:26.966-07:00Handwritten Theatre: Summer Bonus Track #2<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/1600/HandwrittenBlack.10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/400/HandwrittenBlack.7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />Summer simmers on, but we're nice and cool and climate controlled down here in the archives. Let the actors enjoy their vacations! They're just going to miss my favorite all time scene...of scenes I've written. It's from a movie I wrote called <i>Cast a Deadly Spell, </i>a film noir detective picture based on the premise that H.P. Lovecraft and Raymond Chandler once collaborated on a story set in an alternative 1948 where magic and witchcraft are commonplace.<br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/1600/Lovecraft1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/320/Lovecraft1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />This script was written in an un-air conditioned apartment in Jackson Heights, Queens while I was working as an office temp and couldn't get arrested as a writer. I wrote it for personal encouragement as much as I did in the hope of getting it made. I needed a hero, an example, a ragged knight who'd speak truth to power...so I blended the worlds of two favorite authors and invented H. Phillip Lovecraft, private eye, then filled his personal mean streets with all manner of demons and amused myself through a hot summer of writing.<br /><br />The film was made eight years after I wrote it, and this scene appears in the movie exactly as it did in the first draft. Remarkable.<br /><br />Phil Lovecraft takes the case of a millionaire with a missing book and a misbehaving daughter. Things get personal when the clues lead him to a beautiful woman from his past, a night-club singer named Connie Stone.

A presentation from the archives: A scene from a movie I wrote a couple of years back, the remake of a key film from my youth, <i>Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman.</i> While not conceived for this podcast, I can guarantee that it was handwritten at the time. <br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/1600/50ft3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/400/50ft3.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />The movie was directed by Christopher Guest and produced by Debra Hill with Daryl Hannah in the titular role. In the great tradition of B-movie science fiction pictures, the movie was short. So short the studio insisted we go back and add scenes to pad the running time. While this had an unfortunate impact on the pace, it gave me the unique opportunity to go back and write new scenes for two of the actors, O'Neal Compton and Victoria Haas who played the sheriff and deputy in the town rampaged by a giant Daryl Hannah. <br /><br />Sheriff Denby and Deputy "Charlie" Spooner were characters at the edge of the action, but Victoria and O'Neal had the most remarkable...I refuse to say chemistry. Let's just say they were really good in scenes I'd written before I met them. The need to add screen time gave me a chance to write something specifically for their voices. What I came up with is a scene that does nothing to move the picture forward, just the Sheriff and the Deputy talking about two thirds through the movie. It's pure padding, but it's one of my favorite scenes. And I think it's one of the perfect counterfeits in a movie filled with scenes meant to sound like they were lifted from a Jack Arnold Universal-International picture made between 1954 and 1957. <br /><br />Give a listen to two very good actors who got to go back after a movie was finished and play a scene written expressly for them. <br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/1600/CharlieDenbyOne.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/320/CharlieDenbyOne.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />About an hour into the picture, Sheriff Denby and his deputy are discovered in his office where he times Deputy Charlie to see how fast she can load her revolver. This leads to a general discussion of life and what's been going on up at the Archer place where the beautiful Nancy Archer has grown to five stories tall, yet hopes to keep her marriage with the philandering Harry intact.<br /><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/1600/CharlieDenbyTwo.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/200/CharlieDenbyTwo.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/1600/CharlieDenbyThree.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5142/1723/200/CharlieDenbyThree.png" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Handwritten Theatre: Summer Bonus Track #1<br />Performed by Victoria Haas and O'Neal Compton<br />Running Time: 7:02<br />All Audiences<br /><br /><center>If you'd like to see the scene...as well as the rest of the picture, you can rent my version of <i>Attack of the 50 Ft.
