Lancelot Link Monday: Monkey War!

Lancelot Link Monday! So, CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR only made $182 million in the USA and someone is worried because they thought it might make more. WTF? Why has everyone gone greedy these days? I understand wanting your big summer tentpole to make money rather than flop, but I'm pretty sure that's been taken care of once you factor in the rest of the world's box office. It made $262 million overseas as of Wednesday, so it will probably be close to half a billion by the end of the week. And someone wanted it to make $200 million opening weekend in the USA. Boo-hoo! The film is getting great reviews, great word of mouth, and is likely to keep making money for the next couple of months. Why bitch about it not breaking box office records like the new STAR WARS film did? 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...
