Guys, let's brainstorm!

Freak

Yeah, a few of the plays we've read for class have focused on prostitution. You can write about whatever you want.

I think I've ditched Craig and Bruno though... I'm going to let this play write itself somehow.

Blitzkrieg

Hey, if Freak doesn't want that Slapback I'll take it and turn it into a sitcom. cool?

Quack Handle

NO. lol. I am in the process of writing one myself. You can be in it as an extra when we shoot.

Dr. Giganto

Dont do the coffee shop. It's VERY cliche

Freak

Don't worry, I basically bypassed everything suggested.

I have people playing Twister though, and a German exchange student named BLITZKRIEG.

Dr. Giganto

as long as they're not playing twister in a coffee shop, its cool with me

Freak

You have to admit, though, that there's been some pretty classic scenes set in coffee shops. I think, more than anything, it just provides a really neutral atmosphere, and doesn't let the viewer/reader get too distracted. That's a good thing sometimes. It's not like if you had a girl on a balcony and a man talking to her from below.

Dr. Giganto

you're right, but the fact that so many classic scenes have taken place in coffee shops is exactly what makes it cliche.

I call it "Pulp Ficton-itis". Actually, I dont call it anything, but thats just a name I came up with two seconds ago. Its like people watched Tim Roth and that crazy bitch talking in the coffee shop, and they saw the Travolta-Samuel L coffee shop scene and thought to themselves "Aha! That's a cool neutral setting! To show off what an independant filmmaker I am, I will make a movie with a coffee shop scene with clever dialogue!"

I suggested staying away from the coffee shop because I know that you're a clever and creative writer who can come up with something that's less over-played.

Freak

I don't think you would have liked Coffee and Cigarettes.

Dr. Giganto

hahahahaha...that was EXACTLY the movie I was thinking of. My old roomate showed me the trailer for this and all I could think to myself was "What a pretentious piece of crap"

However, the parts I saw with Bill Murray, the Rza, and the Gza were funny

"You're Bill Murray! Bill "Groundhog Day, Ghostbustin-ass" Murray"
"WHO YOU GONNA CALL?"
