Lancelot Link: Galaxy Of Fun

Lancelot Link Monday! If I told you that a guy who wrote a bunch of movies for schlock house Troma, including TROMEO & JULIET and a SGT. KABUKIMAN short film would have the #1 film in the country this weekend, would you believe me? What if I added that he wrote the two SCOOBY DOO movies? Maybe if I add in that he created the web series PG PORN *and* HUMANZEE? While you're thinking about that, here are this week's links to some great screenwriting and film articles, plus some fun stuff that may be of interest to you. Brought to you by that suave and sophisticated secret agent...
