Lancelot Link Monday: Laura Link, Female Chimp Edition

Lancelot Link Monday! So, the new GHOSTBUSTERS opened this weekend, an did okay business. It's also getting good reviews. It seems that all of those people who thought casting women would ruin it were mistaken (I'm being polite). But will this begin a trend where every movie remake has the roles reversed? DIRTY HARRIET? ALL ABOUT STEVE? THREE WOMEN AND AN OLD MAN? 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...
