Gruber linked to an excellent post today written by John August on his blog (a ton of useful information about screenwriting), which was a response to a question asked of him by a reader of his site who is a working screenwriter who felt like he was running into a wall with his sense of story, and was worried about continuing to "get better" at his craft. I'm not keen on this post for the screenwriting related reason necessarily... I'm keen on it because of the answer that John gives him, and how the technique offered can apply to EVERY craft - especially in media and art, where there are thousands of other good examples out there of people doing stuff well, and stuff that we like (and don't like - just as valuable!). Break it down, take it apart, learn from what you see there.
At 3:30 am on Wednesday morning, The American Federation of Television & Radio Arts finally sealed the deal in their negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. Variety reports that the good news is this deal has now put pressure on the SAG to finalize a plan with the AMPTP. On the other hand, the deal has perhaps further soured the relationship between the SAG and AFTRA and SAG leaders have insisted that it's unlikely they will accept the terms AFTRA reached in regards to consent for the use of clips online.
On May 12th an earthquake struck China leaving over 70,000 people dead and over 5 million people homeless. During a red-carpet interview with Hong Kong's Cable Entertainment News, past-her-prime movie star Sharon Stone attributed it to bad karma. Her exact words were, according to the Associated Press, "'I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that karma? When you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?'" China, 1 billion strong and understandably upset about some other stuff going on, responded by banning her movies nation-wide.

On Monday afternoon, Pollack succumb to the illness at his home in Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles surrounded by his family. Pollack is survived by his wife, Claire; two daughters, Rebecca and Rachel; his brother, Bernie; and six grandchildren. He was 73.
Let me preface this review by saying that it's not written with Indiana Jones fanboys in mind. The die-hards, like fellow Zoom In blogger Todd Howard, are so ingrained in the Indiana Jones mythos that no review, positive or negative, would effect their decision to see the film in the slightest way. Whether lauded as a sure bet for the Oscars or panned as a sloppy canonical imitator, those fans' nostalgia will override any structural flaws in the film to find satisfaction. This review is written for the casual fan, the ones who weren't raised on Dr. Jones's adventures, those on the fence, or for the ones who (though hard to imagine) have not seen any entry into the original trilogy. Similar to the last two Matrix films or George Lucas's Star Wars prequels, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull futilely attempts to recapture the magic of its source material.
