This is great evocative writing, and I can't wait for tomorrow's edition. TSR is one of my favorites.
PS -
You know, Scott, you asked for comments on the possible future of the wonderful GITS Script Reading & Analysis series a week or so ago... (BTW, I responded only a couple of times during the entire series, but I did play along at home, often days late, when I had a chance.)
I'm starting the "1" part of my brand-new "1, 2, 7, 14" weekly screenwriting plan using the scripts I didn't read/analyze at the time. I figure the excellent comments and the five aspects of analysis provided there will give me the chops and momentum to continue reading one script per week with an eye toward truly grasping its moving parts.
What I wonder is if GITS might do a Script Reading & Analysis project one week a month... or allow) TWO DAYS to post comments on an analysis point before the show moves onto the next point. The reason I mention this is that I got to GITS at night. By the time I read the questions and formed my thoughts to respond, it seemed the next topic was "up" (I'm a tad slow) ... so I wound up just mentally comparing my thoughts with the excellent comments of fellow GITsters.
Anyway, those are my two cents to start this great new "1, 2, 7, 14" new year, other than thanks for this super place to hang out and learn screenwriting.
