St. Louis Woman Disturbs The Natural Order Of Garbage
A woman in St. Louis found a copy of the Twilight sequel screenplay in the garbage, and has returned it to the movie studios. Whoops. Leave sleeping garbage lie, lady! From the AP:
A St. Louis beauty salon owner accidentally happened upon one of the hottest Hollywood scripts--the pages from an upcoming "Twilight" sequel--in a trash bin.Casey Ray found two scripts, one for the vampire sequel "New Moon" and one for a different movie titled "Memoirs." She decided to return them to the studio making the films. In return, she was invited to attend the movies' premieres, her lawyer said.
Ray recently was waiting for her fiance to finish work when she spotted two scripts in a trash container. She was outside a hotel where actors were staying during a St. Louis shoot for the upcoming George Clooney movie, "Up in the Air."
It's not clear how the scripts wound up in the bin.
Uh, yes, it is clear. I'm no behavioral psychologist, but I am pretty sure someone READ THE SCRIPT, and said "Oh, I know where this goes," and put it in the garbage. Garbage always finds its level (level = garbage can). I like that her reward for returning the TRASH-COVERED script to the studio is that she gets to attend the movie premiere. What a great reward. It's a good thing she's a 12-year-old beauty salon owner so that this works out perfectly.

I smell new promotion. "The first 5 people to find a Twilight™ script in a trash can will get a trip for two (2) to the premiere!" sponsored by Hefty
Score = 24
Maybe it was above the rim?
Score = 0
My question is why is she being rewarded for this/have lawyers involved? She didn't release spoilers from a movie based on a wildly popular book series or a movie no one has heard of with a hilariously bland title. Congrats, lady.
I recently found the script for the next Harry Potter movie. And Snape kills someone in the end!

Two scripts in a trashcan in LA? Really? Aren't there buildings and roads made of scripts, balls of scripts rolling across the cement plains, and nightly bonfires of scripts in LA?

It was in St. Louis, the key component of making this story so magical and amazing.

I know. *sigh* I suck at life.

I was actually invited to a New Moon midnight release party last night (no joke). It's a dress-up party.
I said I'd be Stephanie Meyer's writing ability, because it doesn't exist.

St. Louis is even in the fucking headline. READ.

In response to kersypants. I need to switch to decaf.

Goddammit. Fail. Maybe I need to switch to decaf too :( Or learn how to read.

I love Kendrick's agent's defense: "A spokeswoman for Kendrick, Lisa Perkins, said the actress wouldn't have left scripts lying around."
That's basically saying, "My client never makes mistakes." Which is impossible.
Score = 5
Or, more accurately, her lawyer told her she might get sued if she sold them/posted them online, so THEN she decided she gave them back.
Tragic, now I have to wait and see if New Moon is as unintentionally hilarious as Twilight. How will I survive?
Score = 0
could they sue her? I mean maybe it's their intellectual property. . .but trash is public domain.

I wish someone would make a "Hastily Made Tourism Video" for St. Louis. What a great/horrible city, just like Cleveland.

"Woman Removes Script From Where It Belongs; Punished By Having to Watch Movie"
Score = 17
Back in late 2008 (aught eight, as i call it) I found the script for "The Watchmen" in a Chicago deli's wastebasket. Sadly, I felt compelled to return the screenplay to Warner Brothers, though not before pencilling in a very graphic description of Dr. Manhatten's hefty blue member which said brothers warner apparently found to be brilliant.
I'm sorry.

People in St. Louis always sift through garbage.

I've been to St. Louis a couple times now to see my cubs. I fucking love/hate that city. It's something you must experience.
Score = 0
yeah also, she was just you know, hanging around outside, going through the trash outside a hotel where celebrities were staying

I thought the automatic response to finding Twilight scripts was to post them online. Come ON, people, get with the program. This is how we get hilariously emo i'm-so-disappointed-in-the-fandom responses out of Smeyer!
