@BerryScripts: @teenierussell Good evening all for #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:01 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @BerryScripts hi there, welcome #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:01 pm           



 
@TaroJ: One of the most iconic lines of dialogue written, a classic performance from Clint Eastwood,does it still stand up after 40 yrs? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:02 pm           



 
@BerryScripts: @TaroJ Classic dialogue always stands up, even with poor use of English today! #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:03 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat action on screen and the direction of action has changed so much in 40 years but as a script its still so fresh.
October 2, 2011, 7:03 pm           



 
@teenierussell: Did anyone get a chance to read the script? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:05 pm           



 
@eising: @scriptchat Where can I find the Dirty Harry script? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @TaroJ It seems that action is getting faster and faster, good to see a film where it's slow paced #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@BerryScripts: @teenierussell Unfortunately no, never read any of the Dirty Harry scripts, need to put that right! #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:06 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat yeah Michael Bay has a lot to answer for ;-)

@AlexisNiki: Hello all! Ages since I've been here! #Scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:07 pm           



 
@BerryScripts: I think the actual writing of action is where I really need to improve, any tips? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @BerryScripts sadly I only managed to read the beginning, busy week #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @AlexisNiki Hi there, welcome back :-) Jump right in. We're talking about writing action and Dirty Harry #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:08 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat an action movie is only as good as its villain. What did you all think of Scorpio?

October 2, 2011, 7:09 pm           



 
@sterussell: @BerryScripts IMO overplotted action makes for a really tough read. It's understandable from a w/d but not from all... #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @BerryScripts I think one of the things about action is not to forget your hero still needs a problem #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:10 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson hi there, is it an action scene you're writing? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:11 pm           



 
@AlexisNiki: @teenierussell Thanks! Haven't read the script but am looking forward to it. #Scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:11 pm           



 
@BerryScripts: @sterussell yeah, need to keep it tight, short and hard hitting, starting to rewrite all action on feature 3rd draft #scriptchat

@HateTheHate: #scriptchat action movies are like #porn ... it's all about the money shots! :P
October 2, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @AlexisNiki me too, haha, I haven't quite done my homework #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@BerryScripts: @teenierussell yeah, should not be too easy, makes for a bland read #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @teenierussell Only if you count the frantic bashing of hazelnuts as action. You probably shouldn't. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:12 pm           



 
@HateTheHate: #scriptchat people will watch action regardless of acting ability, script etc.
October 2, 2011, 7:13 pm           



 
@sterussell: Can't think of a similar example, but #DarkKnight's truck chase marked a great mid-point plot defined by the action... #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:13 pm           



 
@AlexisNiki: How many of you write in the action genre? #Scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @HateTheHate but if the action doesn't have a good script, acting, would you watch it again? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:14 pm           



 
@teenierussell: I wouldn't know where to start RT: @AlexisNiki How many of you write in the action genre? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:15 pm           



 
@sterussell: @teenierussell @HateTheHate And there are so many straight-to-DVD action flicks that are the definition of derivative... #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:15 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @Sandy_Nicholson that could be quite funny though #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:15 pm           



 
@BerryScripts: #scriptchat just looked up this john august vid about writing action, useful to help make action read better I think http://t.co/ABjk92RM
October 2, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@eising: @scriptchat Interesting: in front of every shot is a number. That's not something screenwriters take care of, but the director? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @sterussell I need to watch Dark Knight again #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:16 pm           



 
@BerryScripts: @AlexisNiki #scriptchat just working on some violent scenes in a drama....
October 2, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @teenierussell They could do it while leaping from car to car. Or crush them with a stolen steamroller. A RUNAWAY steamroller. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@sterussell: I've heard it said that an "action" film is defined by a character who goes after the bad guys; as opposed to a "thriller" where #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@sterussell: they run away from the bad guys. Think "Die Hard" vs "North by Northwest"? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @BerryScripts @sterussell reading the beg of Dirty Harry, noticed how it changes quickly from one POV to the other, short scenes #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:17 pm           



 
@AlexisNiki: @sterussell Interesting definition! #Scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:18 pm           



 
@sterussell: @teenierussell So do I, and I didn't watch it that long ago! The mid-point is masterful in its turn from success to failure. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:18 pm

@TaroJ: @sterussell not heard that before but makes so much sense #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @sterussell Interesting way of looking at it. Trying to think of a contradiction to it but can't yet. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@BerryScripts: @teenierussell @sterussell yeah make it personal, and don't let it drag on, unless its a mammoth shootout! #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @BerryScripts will have to watch that later, thank you for sharing #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:19 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @eising @scriptchat it's a shooting script, so nothing to worry about with specs #scriptchat

@TaroJ: #scriptchat when @reebotfilms was guesting on here a while ago he had some great advice for writing action, check out the transcript
October 2, 2011, 7:21 pm           



 
@sterussell: @Sandy_Nicholson I'll mull on it too... #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:21 pm           



 
@eising: @teenierussell :-) I think it's really difficult to write so much in-detail. Every move of Harry is described in the script. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:22 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @sterussell sounds like a good definition to me, makes sense. I was pondering about the action vs thriller earlier #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:22 pm           



 
@Will_Scothern: When writing action scenes in the past I read examples from my favourite films to get started, then added my own twist. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:23 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @BerryScripts @teenierussell @sterussell yes, I get bored very quickly when action movies have very very long chase scenes #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:24 pm           



 
@sterussell: @teenierussell @sandy_nicholson From memory, "Ronin" muddies the waters. Or "Collateral"? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:24 pm           



 
@Will_Scothern: @teenierussell Saw Drive yesterday, that's a film which knows how to keep things short and brutal. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:25 pm           



 
@Sandy_Nicholson: @sterussell Aliens? Or predator! That's not a thriller. Maybe in thrillers the villain has to be human? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:25 pm           



 
@teenierussell: RT: @TaroJ when @reebotfilms was guesting on here he had some great advice for writing action- http://t.co/swwjJFSE #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:26 pm           



 
@Will_Scothern: @sterussell @teenierussell @sandy_nicholson In Ronin surely instead of bad guys it's the case? Still going after something. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:26 pm           



 
@TaroJ: #scriptchat anyone catch The Expendables? All out action very tongue in cheek, felt very much like an 80s action film.
October 2, 2011, 7:26 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @eising I think that's the difficulty with action, it all needs to be choreographed #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:26 pm           



 
@AlexisNiki: Me too! RT @teenierussell: I get bored very quickly when action movies have very very long chase scenes #Scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:27 pm           



 
@sterussell: @Will_Scothern I don't remember it that well... so that's my bedtime watch for tonight!! #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:27 pm           



 
@TaroJ: @Will_Scothern @teenierussell #scriptchat you are about the 5th person in the last few days to recommend Drive, I'll have to see it
October 2, 2011, 7:27 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @Will_Scothern a good way of learning, read lots of scripts. I need to find time to put that into practice. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:27 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @Will_Scothern I've heard great reviews for Drive, no spoilers please :-) I should get around to watching that soon. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:29 pm           



 
@Will_Scothern: @sterussell Collateral though, does make me wonder...but then I'd probably class that as a thriller with action scenes. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:29 pm           



 
@sterussell: @teenierussell @eising Sometimes though, do your character work well, let 2nd unit or stunt coordinator plot the action beats... #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:29 pm           



 
@HateTheHate: #scriptchat Asian cinema has cornered the market on physical and gun-based action. "Holywood" has wimped out recently. :S
October 2, 2011, 7:29 pm           



 
@AlexisNiki: @teenierussell @eising problem is when story stops and spectacle takes over. More interesting if action continues storytelling #Scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:29 pm           



 
@Will_Scothern: @TaroJ @teenierussell Fantastic film. Definitely worth seeing. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:29 pm           



 
@BerryScripts: @teenierussell @TaroJ @reebotfilms thanks for the transcript, will read after this #scriptchat

@teenierussell: @sterussell @eising but in order to get your action read should you at least have great believable 'choreography' (1/2) #scriptchat

@dianewms: @AlexisNiki How many of you write in the action genre? #Scriptchat -- I do.
October 2, 2011, 7:35 pm           



 
@teenierussell: @AlexisNiki @eising definitely, action is just a way of telling the story Any chase scene should be relevant to furthering story #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:35 pm           



 
@Will_Scothern: @TaroJ @hatethehate It's funny because I wouldn't class City on Fire as an action film, more thriller if anything. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:37 pm           



 
@BerryScripts: #scriptchat in addition to standard structure,plotting and characters, what else do you think is essential to a good action script?

@teenierussell: @BerryScripts the villain should be stronger than hero #scriptchat

October 2, 2011, 7:55 pm           




@Will_Scothern: Though not an action film exactly, "Grosse Pointe Blank" has a great hand to hand fight that allows a character to be revealed. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:55 pm           




@AllInky: The most tedious action scene ever... the bus in one of the Matrix movies. Oi. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:55 pm           




@teenierussell: @jdietzpop PIrates is fun, I do like the first one, not a fan of all the sequels though #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:56 pm           




@AlexisNiki: @Sandy_Nicholson @teenierussell Big action bores me to watch and to write! Must be a way to do it well but I haven't found it. #Scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:57 pm           




@Sandy_Nicholson: @AlexisNiki I did, seriously dull, not funny, not charming like the original. Saved only by a brief dance from Sam Rockwell. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:57 pm           




@HateTheHate: #scriptchat The 80's were the effective action peak ... I have not seen an "arthouse" action movie though? #scriptIDEA :P
October 2, 2011, 7:58 pm           




@TaroJ: #scriptchat last few minutes on action and Dirty Harry, any final thoughts?
October 2, 2011, 7:58 pm           




@jdietzpop: @teenierussell Same, the second one is ok. The first one did the job of reminding you what's fun about being scared as a kid. #Scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:58 pm           




@Will_Scothern: @TaroJ It's a good example of an action scene furthering plot and character. As well as being really well choreographed. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:58 pm           




@dwacon: @Sandy_Nicholson Who wouldnt love Scarlett J's scenes? Or Mickey Rourke’s electric tentacles? #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:59 pm           




@AlexisNiki: It's been fun chatting but I gotta jump. Thanks for hosting @teenierussell #Scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:59 pm           




@AllInky: Action, for me, always plays best paired with comedy, and with something happening in the background... True Lies, for example. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:59 pm           




@Will_Scothern: @teenierussell Maybe that's the difference, true investment in the characters as opposed to action for actions sake. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 7:59 pm           




@HateTheHate: #scriptchat Dirty Harry is pre-"action", it helped establish a formula but was not action led.

@dwacon: @teenierussell My former agent called my last action script a comedy -- it had so much in it. Guess that is a good thing. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 8:01 pm           




@BerryScripts: @teenierussell and all thanks for an interesting #scriptchat on action, food for thought on some ideas I've had :)
October 2, 2011, 8:01 pm           




@Will_Scothern: @HateTheHate @TaroJ Heat is a great example. It takes it's time, has a few stand out action scenes but isn't ruled by them. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 8:01 pm           




@teenierussell: Off topic, seeing the fake blood in the beginning of Dirty Harry made me proud of my home-made blood :-D #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 8:01 pm           




@Will_Scothern: @HateTheHate Now that would be something. John Woo directing Tony Jaa would take the cake entire. #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 8:01 pm           




@TaroJ: Thanks everyone always good to go off on a tangent on #scriptchat I'm off to watch some stuff blow up
October 2, 2011, 8:02 pm           




@HateTheHate: @Will_Scothern @TaroJ BUT you are left wanting more action and less talk. That's the problem: balance. #frustrating #scriptchat
October 2, 2011, 8:02 pm           




@teenierussell: @BerryScripts thank you for coming by and sharing your thoughts. Good Luck with writing! #scriptchat
