For Your Consideration Page #4

to story points and have a little problem...

- ...and then they say, "Let's blow it up."

- I am not one for violence...

...but I would have given anything

to see a coffee pot explode.

What a brave choice the director made.

What a-- What a pioneer this guy is.

"Let's do nothing."

Sometimes it looks like somebody hit you

with a frying pan and you enjoyed it.

But I have been hit.

Been hit a couple of times.

You know, this film reminds me of your wife

and her ceramic turtle collection.

Can't believe you keep this

in your purse.

- Well, you never know.

- Yeah.

Mr. Orfkin, for the third time,

Victor Allan Miller is waiting.

Oh, okay, just give me five seconds

and then send him in.

Right this way, Mr. Miller.

Now, you listen to me, Bernie,

you may run a studio...

...but I've got way too much respect for

my clients to put up with this kind of crap.

Hang on. Simi, hold all my calls.

I'm in a meeting with Victor Allan Miller.

I do not wanna be disturbed.

I gotta run. Ciao.

- Thank you, Simi.

- Hey, look at you.

- Look at you.

- You look fantastic.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- You should be stopping by more often.

- Really? I know, I know.

- Yes, you should.

But we're not filming today,

I thought I'd drop by, say hello...

...while my tires are being rotated.

- Well, let's talk movies.

- Okay.

Okay? Movies.

There's nothing going on

in movies right now for you.

I mean, it's just-- This is the thing.

There was just--

There's no interest, okay?

You're like a cold piece of toast.

I'm not gonna

candy-coat things for you...

...because if you want candy-coated

information, go someplace--

Go to one of the bigger agencies.

Okay? Because I--

My thing is say it like it is.

But right now I don't think film

is what we should be focusing on.

Quite frankly, I think television

is where we should be looking.

- I know, but television--

- Okay, we're on a couple of pilots. Listen.

Listen, Victor.

There are some very exciting things.

Joel?

Singing the Blues.

The dysfunctional Blue family

rises to a position of prominence...

...in a small New England town.

- Very, very powerful. And I--

- Was that a drama or a comedy?

It's a comedy because it's--

They're dysfunctional.

The whole family's dysfunctional.

The father doesn't know.

The kids don't know. Nobody knows!

Nobody knows what's going

because of the whole dysfunction.

And that's-- That's the beauty of that.

Simon, all I'm saying is I want it

to be brighter. That's all I'm saying to you.

I want to come in the room

and I wanna see an object like the--

Like a chair or a light or a sofa

and be able to make out what it is.

- Do you understand me?
