GITS Script Reading and Analysis Series: “(500) Days of Summer” — Tweet-Cast Transcript

On Wednesday, May 30, we had a live Tweet-Cast of (500) Days of Summer. What’s a Tweet-Cast? At 8PM Pacific, people from around the world pushed Play on an electronic device and watched the movie, then commented on it on Twitter. Involved in the commentary were professional screenwriters F. Scott Frazier [@ScreenWritten], John Gary [@JohnGary], and myself.

It was a terrific experience. You may read the transcript here.

Our next GITS Script Reading and Analysis will be the week of June 25th. Here are three suggestions I have received I think might be interesting choices: Pulp Fiction (Tarantino), Fargo, No Country for Old Men or True Grit (Coen Brothers), or Drive (Hossein Amini).

Which of these scripts would you be interested in reading, joining in on analysis and commentary, and screening as a Tweet-Cast?
