But as you know, Fridays With Hitchcock can be a bit spotty - the entries were supposed to be 1,250 words (5 pages) but have ended up being in the 4,000 to 5,000 word range (16-20 pages). Some are longer. They can burn up 2-3 days to write, and Script wanted shorter entries, so the "reprints" were chopped down versions.
I stopped sending them articles when we got to North By Northwest - because that was a monster entry and I realized I would have to completely rewrite it to trim it down. Also, you may have noticed that the blog entries have become more focused since I began. I figured out how the articles should work, and the old articles now need a page one rewrite.
So I get an e-mail from Script asking if I could *please* start sending them articles again... and I realized that I need something different. Some subject or theme or whatever that I could find 52 *shorter* articles to discuss.
So, what would you like to see discussed on the blog every week? Something that doesn't require a bunch of research on my part, but watching a movie is okay. Suggestions in the comments section!

TODAY'S SCRIPT TIP: Weatherman Hero? - coming up with a non-cliche lead character.
Dinner: Salad bar salad.
Pages: A quick polish on a script some producer asked for.
Bicycle: YES! Did a test run today, rode north & east. Wore the splint while riding. Wrist seems fine. It does hurt if I move it in weird ways, so I just don't do that. But no pain while riding or from riding.
