I failed utterly to convey a simple thought... the exquisite irony that a woman named "Bobbit" also cut off her husband's penis. Then, I just did a small riff on a possible scene for a screenwriter to have come up with this name in a scene like you have written.<BR/><BR/>I liked your scene, and my comment had nothing at all to do with your writing abiltiy and everything to do with tone being a difficult thing to manage online. Please, accept my aplogizes for any percieved slight. none was intended.writergurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280715417926374080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449304.post-1134880418385213182005-12-17T20:33:00.000-08:002005-12-17T20:33:00.000-08:00Um, Writergurl, just because the whole Bobbit thin...Um, Writergurl, just because the whole Bobbit thing happened does that mean I ripped it off? I certainly did not.<BR/><BR/>But I take your comments as being sarcastic. Why? It's just a fun script. The story actually came from a news story I heard about a revenge-seeking girlfriend who ties her guy up (he thought they were going to do it), hacked it off and flushed it, which is pretty much what happened here.<BR/><BR/>And it's played for laughs, and is silly. Are you angry? If so, why? No writer has ever taken a story from the news/real life and made a script out of it?Patrick J.

"Bobbit", seriously.. sounds like a name some screenwriter came up with one night at 3 AM when he couldn't sleep cause he was trying to think of a name for this woman (in his new script) who cuts off her husband's penis.<BR/><BR/>"Bobbit!"<BR/><BR/>"Bobbit? hmmmm. Could work..."<BR/><BR/>"Yeah! Bobbit! That's what she does to him! She cuts it short! Cool! I'll use it!"writergurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280715417926374080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449304.post-1134630241943712322005-12-14T23:04:00.000-08:002005-12-14T23:04:00.000-08:00Hey, it's all in good clean fun.Hey, it's all in good clean fun.Patrick J.

If you sell it, they (or you) can always take out the most over the top parts.Adam Renfrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151069285219485517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449304.post-1134598292600328902005-12-14T14:11:00.000-08:002005-12-14T14:11:00.000-08:00Yeah, I hear you. Some stuff I write that might be...Yeah, I hear you. Some stuff I write that might be a bit twisted (like this, something that's off the radar) but like I said I've got plenty of "on the radar" scripts (horror, sci-fi, kids, family, comedy, etc) that is very "saleable" so I don't worry too much about if I'm writing something that Disney or whoever won't like. If they don't like this they'd like my other stuff is what I'm saying. But I will check out the blog you suggested. Thanks!Patrick J.
