Skins – Naomi and Emily (Naomily) [video]
Some Saturday Fun There's a really engaging TV series in the UK, on Channel 4 (E4), called Skins (not to be confused with the short-lived MTV version). Part raunchy drama, part teen comedy, the BAFTA-winning show is packed with gripping characters and storylines. It's...

Is quadruple mumbo jumbo killing True Blood?
Blake Snyder Blake Snyder, the late author of the superb screenwriting book, Save the Cat!, coined the term: "Double Mumbo Jumbo." I propose to you that, for some reason, audiences will only accept one piece of magic per movie. It's The Law. You cannot see aliens from...
Vote for your favorite in the Cyberspace Open
The first (and last) time I entered Creative Screenwriting's Cyberspace Open, it was a very, ahem, gut-wrenching experience. The contest has changed a bit since 2009. There's no more 24 hour phase or two hour rush final. They also film the three finalists utilizing...
