Okay, the short didn’t make it into the local festival but – half a kilo of Whittakers‘ finest later – life. Goes. On.
Mm. This week, for your infotainment:
- Wellington film and television writer Sean Molloy has joined the Kiwi scribosphere with Why I Write. Malo, man!
- What if Fawlty Towers were to be submitted to the BBC today? Click here for a laugh. And some tendrils of fear. (Fedora-tip: James Henry.)
- The Independent has an interesting chat with Neil Labute on loving thy villains. (Fedora-tip: WGGB Blog.)
- UK blogger Robin Kelly has a great post on what makes a good thriller (hint: put yourself in your hero/ine’s shoes). It raises a very good question though: how do some of those bone- and knuckle-headed plots get on to the screen? (Fedora-tip: Lucy Vee.)
- Crime writer and retired detective Lee Lofland blogs about the many facets of law enforcement at The Graveyard Shift. Of recent interest to this closet-gun-nut were author Lori L Lake‘s guest-posts on Guns, Guns, Guns. (Fedora-tip: Alex Epstein.)
