My The Black List

thumbnail icon: My The Black List

The Black List was released today! What's that? No, I'm asking, what is that? I guess the Black List is put together every year by the Genius Bars in Hollywood as a collection of the best unproduced screenplays of the year. You can see the full list here. supposedly it's an honor to have your script on this list, although not as much of an honor as having your script on THIS list. But congratulations to the writers behind Beaver and The Oranges and the rest of the things I've never heard of.

But the true honor for an underappreciated artist is to have his or her work featured on My The Black List, which is a list of the best unproduced screenplays that never existed in the first place.

  1. Fart Town: Population Steve
  2. What Is In Your Mouth?
  3. Jail Escape 2: We're Gonna Need A Bigger Jail
  4. Puppies: A Documentary
  5. Being White Is Hard!
  6. Wizard Community College
  7. Being Justin Long
  8. Romance Beach
  9. Mommy!

Congratulations to everyone who made it on my the list. You deserve a snack. [Ed. note: break for snack.]

I hope Jail Escape 2 gets picked up soon, so Jail Escape 3: Bustin' Outta College doesn't take too long to hit DVD shelves.

There seems to be a lot of widowers and twenty-somethings as the main characters of these scripts. Thus, I am led to believe that 35 years of my life will be spent undeserving of mention.

Let me just write "Wizard Community College" on the inside of Harmony Korine's iris so that gets made right.

my mind is spinning from the possibilities in 'wizard community college.'
so far it's like 'harry potter' meets 'summer school' with mark harmon.
there will be a slutty witch who doesn't wear anything beneath her robes.
