I was walking by
the new nonfiction book display last week and this title caught my eye. I
picked up the book and was so glad I did.
Curt Neill is a
struggling screenwriter who created and writes for the blog Untitled Screenplays (untitledscreenplays.tumblr.com). He has a hilarious sense of
humor about his own splashes of and lacks of creativity. Each page is an
attempted screenplay that Neill has started. He never makes it to page two but
he cleverly makes fun of the technicalities of screenplays and movies in
general. I read this book from cover to
cover in one sitting but it would also be a wonderful book to read a few pages
on occasion for a good laugh. I enjoyed the individual snapshots of screenplays.
Some I wish he could have written more pages and fleshed it out to an actual
screenplay and others I just laughed at and thought “That was a bad start!”
If you are looking
for a light, enjoyable read I would highly suggest this book.
