Finally, the writers show their ability.

Please let them settle soon so we can stop having these foisted on us. WE GET IT, ALREADY!

Please note: When playing a drunk girl, always have the glass in your hand when you speak.

***

I challenge anyone to find me a movie in which a drunk female character is talking amongst friends without a glass full of booze in her hand.

Still making these? Why? How about showing up on the picket line instead? These are pointless. Seems like a fun way to make short films and say it’s for a cause, doesn’t it?

Three words for that.

Ow.

Fantastic.

Very clever, particularly liked the line about
‘AMPuhTuhPuh’ not tipping the waiter because he wasn’t sure if the restaurant business would pan out.

Frankly, I’d rather see “Jake Gyllenhaal: Shirtless.”

Wow…I, uh…ah, never mind trying to be clever…Just one thought…Maybe Maggie and co. should be in the negotiating room. I’ll bet no one walks out of those talks!

In all seriousness, all of the Speechless films have been great. I am a very proud member of the WGA.
