The Seminary Co-op awards The Motorcycle Boy First place in their Parker: Flash Fiction Contest with his entry:FACE-OFFThere were two books Parker could ever remember having paid any attention to: the Gideon Bible (stowed, as it was, in seemingly every motel nightstand across the lower 48); and the various city phone books that either had their pages leafed through, stripped, or were wielded

Like dogs leaving their scent on a fire hydrant, the various dudes that had come before me had left their indefinable mark on my wife's face. And in her hair. She hated getting it in the hair, she said.Why she felt the need to tell me early in our relationship that she had a) been cum'd on by lottsa dudes, and b) had tons of anal sex, I-do-not-know.I'm not a fucking priest for chrissakes, I said

1.He walked well for an old man. He had walked most of his life, and the trick was to have good shoes — nothing made by the Chinese.He had false teeth, a glass eye, and being just short of having a wooden leg, had an impressive attitude considering his luck.But the children of the neighborhood were just too much sometimes. They were vulgar little bastards. A wonder where they developed such sharp

A child of (maybe) nine, living on my street, lets me read his Dream Journal. It's full of lies. Lizard men and volcanoes, sharks battling amongst the stars - come off it kid. Lightning swords cut swathes through Angel Wings. She sings. Blurry-eyed, the child sinks to the sidewalk and melts into the drain. Mother's tears mix with dust and rust the pipes. Rats give-up in the thousands. A Man on a

Number fucking 5:SAW (2004) Turns out I'm not a fan of that ending (or the sequels), but anytime a true Horror film breaks through to the mainstream and goes on to make a buncha (shitty) sequels, you gotta give it some love. And how about that poster art from Tim Palen?I'm so jealous that those effing guys who wrote FEAST have made a career out of writing the SAW series (also wrote & directed The

Last week I was lucky enough to catch Inglourious Basterds (presented by Eli Roth) at the Fantasia Film Festival. Lucky because the tickets were free, and lucky because I can confidently state that this film is Tarantino's master stroke. And not in a jerk-off way, either. Like the recent death of Michael Jackson; President Obama's inauguration, and other American 'giant leaps for mankind,'

Before I get to the screenwriting... Some backstory if you don't mind?I was born in a mining town in Norther Ontario - Timmins (home of Shania Twain!) - that neighbours the town James Cameron was born in...All that shit on the sidebar to your right, the schools and stuff. That's all true. My father didn't get along too well with most of his mining employers. So we moved a lot.My older brother's

Hell-E-O!!!!So, I was contemplating writing a 'Flight of the Conchords' spec, but not finding any script 'samples' online - other than another writer's spec - I went with a 'Sunny' based mostly on the fact I had a sample - from Creative Screenwriting Magazine.
