Writing Project Update

Words this week: 2800. Major contributions to both Implosion and the fitness project, fueled by new venom, new insight, and a feeling of a little bit smoother sailing. There was also a lot of email. I'm entering an "up" phase and it's time to take advantage.

Responses to last week's topic: 1.

This week's entries: 4 (Julie, Beth, Ken, Beth)

This week, because I wasn't all that crazy about my performance as of late, there are two Slaughterhouse entries.

This week's first question: "If the lore and legend of the Chicago Cubs supersedes regular baseball play itself, why has there been no iconic or classic baseball movie made using the Cubs as a backdrop?

The best I can think of is the bit part it plays in the Blues Brothers and Ferris Bueller. But those are movies about Chicago first. The Twins, the Indians, the Yankees, and the Red Sox all have theirs. Where is the homage to what may be considered the Holy Grail of Hollywood Demographics: the widest range of people willing to throw money at something regardless of whether it sucks?

Is it possible to make this movie?" - Beth Badrov

500 WORDS ON THIS TOPIC DUE BY: 4/18 midnight Friday/Saturday
