Scripts
Hm. According to my reading diary, I read the average annual amount of these this year but very few have wowed me like I want to be wowed.
Billy Elliott – Lee Hall
The Good Wife: Pilot – Robert King and Michelle King
Lone Star – John Sayles
Manhunter – Michael Mann
The Straight Story – John Roach and Mary Sweeney
Maybe it’s just me.
Books
Some ah, research led me to more non-fiction reading that I would previously readily admit.
Armageddon – Max Hastings
Nemesis – Max Hastings
Striptease – Carl Hiaasen
True Grit – Charles Portis
I’m tempted to try the Demi Moore vehicle that started out once upon a time as a film adaptation of Striptease but… ‘m afraid I mayn’t survive it.
