Lancelot Link: Endless Summer

Lancelot Link Monday! This was the worst summer Hollywood has had in a few years... and also the best August of all time. Though there are all kinds of reasons why this summer didn't do as well, one interesting element is that *spring* did really well. We are now in the mode of endless summer movies: tentpole films are released every month! That means more big budget films... and fewer mid range movies. 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...
