Thanks so much to those of you who sent messages about our Little Script That Never Was. I'm pleasantly surprised how much some of you seemed to dig it, or at least the first act of it. It was the first action-heavy script I ever wrote, so some parts are...rougher.

I once adapted a script I'm very proud of - my favorite script, I think - with a bunch of talented people, and it was the most fun I've ever had writing, and that script...went absolutely nowhere. Here's that story - and the first act for you to read :) open.substack.com/pub/thegeoff...

I hope you dig the sneak peak, and if you're an aspiring writing, I hope you get a valuable glimpse into what it's like to pour your soul into something, and have it just not work out. It happens. A lot. As always, RTs/signal boosts help a ton, and consider subscribing!

AND NOW FOR A SCRIPT THAT NEVER WENT ANYWHERE

Ever wondered what it looks like when you pour years of work into a script you love like hell but it never quite sees the light of day? Well, take a gander, why don't you!

Way back yonderyears, I had a website where I wrote about anything and everything I damn well felt like. Today I'm missing my family quite a bit, and as such, I thought I'd republish this story from that site about my Marm, a neat lady I love a whole lot. open.substack.com/pub/thegeoff...

Homesickness as me reaching back into the archives to reprint a piece that means so much to me.

To celebrate America's 250th birthday, I looked back at my worst day as an an American, an artist, and a person. Happy 4th!!! open.substack.com/pub/thegeoff...

MY WORST DAY AS A SCREENWRITER, AN ARTIST, AND ANYTHING RESEMBLING A CREATIVELY FUNCTIONAL HUMAN

Parts of my career have been truly charmed. Parts have been Exxon-Valdez-level disasters. But this one particular performance almost ripped open the fabric of the Universe solely to erase me.

For my latest entry to Substack, I revisited two movies I never much cared for and the trilogy capper I never even bothered to watched. I learned a lot. And then shit got pretty weird. open.substack.com/pub/thegeoff...

REVISITING THE GODFATHER TRILOGY AFTER TWO DECADES FOR THE FIRST TIME

Did I bury the hatchet with the iconic film series that, traditionally, has done little for me? Well, there were hatchets and there were burials, that I can tell you.

Guys when I introduce myself to someone now do I have to say, "Hello, my name is Geoff, and I'm a man voter." Because I feel like that sounds less like I'm a male who votes and more like I'm an asshole who only votes for dudes.

Just a note, and not a cudgel: my first premium post goes up next week. It's a tale many of you have heard and loved and cringed through, but I figured it's time to put it in front of a global audience: My Kate Beckinsale Story. (It's a great one. She is wonderful.)

Hi guys. I suppose I'm one of THOSE people now. One of those SUBSTACK people. I know, right? I have no clue what that means either. What I do know is: this was hard for me to write, and I mostly spent all my time not doing so. Until I did. I had to. open.substack.com/pub/thegeoffla…

Today is Elvis’s birthday, so it is one of the days my Velvet Elvis gets elevated to the living room mantle. For the story of this family tradition and a generous gift from @geofflatulippe.bsky.social, read the quoted thread.

Adam Mallinger@bitterscriptreader.bsky.social · 3y ago

Back when I was a kid, my dad got a friend of his a Velvet Elvis as a gag gift, paying the sum of $4 for it. Within a year, that friend returned the favor, though he had to overpay… a cost of $7. We displayed it every year on Elvis’s BD and the anniversary of his death 1/

There are people on the other app who think themselves experts in box office, budgets and production just because they have learned a narrow aspect of it to win arguments about superhero films and I cannot tell you how important it is to clown on all of them

OK so this is apparently where the writers are. I'm here for the interaction. Hit me up if you think there might be something I can do to help you with YOUR writing based on my 21 years or working in this industry, during which I've learned nothing.

So on the advice of a friend I'm gonna drop a quick thread here on BS that I just posted on Twitter. It's not too long, but it's important to me, and it speaks to some things going on in the entertainment industry that I believe warrant discussion. So if you'll indulge, here it is:

Really am going to make a gd effort to post here more and consistently, for those of you who care. Like I'm committed to going down with the ship over at Twitter because I want to watch that shit burn, and perhaps me with it, but regardless, that place sucks and this place does not.

Just realized how bad Focus fucked up by not releasing CONCLAVE posters with the tagline "Would That It Were So Simple".

Overwhelmed by you guys today. I'm Following back people I knew previously first, but if you hopped on this stupid milkbag-shaped train, reach out! Engage! Let's build a rapport and become online buddies/contacts at worst :) Look forward to hearing from you.

don’t forget to ask the new people what muppet they want to fuck

Today I had lunch with @geofflatulippe.bsky.social and he gave me an incredibly thoughtful gift. He assured me he haggled the seller down from his asking price. Thank you Geoff. I’ll treasure it forever.

Fun announcement: After almost literally two decades of searching and waiting for the right people to partner up with, I've joined the team at Roadmap Writers! www.roadmapwriters.com/executive-bi... My only ask is that you share this link with other writers if you can say one of the following:

@geofflatulippe.bsky.social check out my sweet new ink I got today! There are a few fine details left to add, and the lettering will be purple but it's basically done. My artist did the best skull I've ever seen.
