JUST got this alert from the Daily Breeze: *Hermosa Beach’s Saint Rocke ready to rock again with soft reopening concerts*
The venue, which closed at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, will host several nights of shows this month during a soft opening that will feature multiple local musicians.
What's really interesting to me is the differences of Shonda Rhimes and Aaron Sorkin. Rhimes is all about creating fully formed 3D characters that have histories, lives, and personality quirks that make them unique.
Sorkin is just the opposite. He seems to leave the characters as bare bones as he can, giving them only the motivation provided by the circumstance and/or by the screenplay's forward velocity to dictate how they will behave.
Rhimes is building characters that will act and react based on their personalities and that determines how the actor will play the role. Sorkin is almost allowing the actor to build the character; as long as what needs to get done happens, it's as if he cares much less about that aspect.
The fascinating thing is that both work well. But maybe that's because the actors that appear in Sorkin's work are just that good at character building and the actors that Rhimes casts are able to find those elements she wants in their performances.
Absolutely. It's interesting, she talked a bit in her master class about how she left the characters in SCANDAL a little less filled in because she wanted them to have secrets that the writers room could uncover together as they built out the stories. But I think you're right, both can work if you have the right alchemy.
Wow. A seed vault! Fantastic image. I followed the link and listened to "Uncharted." Goosebumps and tears when the crowd started singing. I don't know why that sort of thing does me in every single time, even when I know it's coming. Editor I once worked with, talking about antagonists, said always remember, "They had their reasons."
Happens to me to whenever a moment like that comes up! I saw one a few years ago where Miranda Lambert had to stop because she was crying, so the audience took over for her, which only made her (and me) cry harder!
I love your “One improvement per page" idea, thanks!
I must have missed this one, thanks Mickey. Speaking of playlists, here is my new Hair Metal playlist I put together to accompany the pitch deck of my pilot set in 1991: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxrWNsvqSFl_1NZ_Sbtn7LjcacV6EYPe-
Enjoy! :-0
With the exception of Kix I saw every single one of these bands in concert, and some of them more than once!

"Comet draft!"
Was that from the podcast? I can’t remember where I first heard it!
I hadn't heard it before! It's hilarious and perfect.

Shoot, now I'm tearing up thinking of that. People can be so beautiful together. *sigh*
