since i'm once again on a TOS binge, here are some of my favorite Bill Thiess creations. truly the best to ever do it. the pink number from "Who Mourns for Adonias" that is only held up by the weight of the train??? sensational

after his death, Thiess's estate auctioned off a lot of these pieces and donated the money to charity. if you ever want to feel insane read the prices some of it sold for. that metallic halter top + cape fit??? $173. are. you. kidding. me.

neil gaiman had a spot specifically reserved for him his books in the corner of my bookshelf at my childhood home and i miss it everyday

Since some have asked when we'd be getting any more Supernatural scripts:

It's easier for me to find a script for the unproduced 7th ep of s10 of The X-Files (with bonus coffee stains from Chris Carter) than it is to find any Supernatural for sale and/or anyone willing to share a copy of a script.

No, really: the pledge form for that script is in our Discord server.

If we do buy it the original will be donated to the ScullyCoffee4NF fundraiser (February 2024).

For a bit more about "Episode 7", start at 34:44 ⤵️

Update 12/18/23:

also in particular search for any early seasons (1-3) mash scripts so if folks have any and/or know where to find them please feel free to send any info them my way so i can upload them to the drive! i've had many folks ask me if i have any more so i'm always on the lookout!

49. Mark Rylance Antony and Cleopatra

A playful explosive row at dinner," reads Mark Rylance's personally annotated working script from 1999: "Rushes skipping onto the stage". 

This is one of those rare 'you really can't get this sort of thing anywhere else' lots (it actually applies to all 55 of them in this auction, but this one especially!). A historical, annotated-at-the-time working script of "The Tragedie of Anthonie, and Cleopatra" from 1999, by the Academy-, BAFTA-, Olivier- and Tony-award winning Mark Rylance, when he famously played Cleopatra. 

The play Mark Rylance performed in was an Original Practices Production, directed by Giles Block at Shakespeares Globe, running 30 July-26 September 1999. ‘Original Practices’ refers to a unique and radical experiment that was generated at the Globe and used historical performance to transform modern theatre practice. The reconstruction of a Shakespearean amphitheatre was premised on the idea that it would provide the ideal context for testing out what academics knew of early modern playing conditions. This led to an exceptional partnership between research and creative practice during Mark Rylance’s Artistic Directorship (1995-2005) in an attempt to discover and recreate Shakespeare’s company’s working practice. The acting script was the property of Mark Rylance (Cleopatra) who donated the script to a benefit auction for Shakespeare's Globe following his last season (autumn 2005); since then the script has been in the hands of a Private Collection and we are now so very lucky to be able to offer it as part of this auction. 

Mark Rylance's annotated script and 'plat' of Anthony and Cleopatra (1999) places a great emphasis on the motivation of his character throughout, summarising and specifing the neccessary stage-business required: "Be present, playful, infinite variety, don't cloy, connect with him" and "Let him win me, seduce me". There are contextual reminders ("Very unusual for a messenger to bust in like this, we usually ignore them") and you can almost hear the conversation in the rehearsal room, as in this comment on Anthony's Roman duty from Cleopatra's point of view, in Mark Rylance's handwriting: "His boring side. His suburban side. Mowing the lawn of Rome". The script, and additional pages of notes on his character ("What Cleopatra says about herself", "What others say about Cleopatra", "Costume plot and cues"), comes in a beautiful protective oak box.

Superman for All Seasons #2: Summer

Been scanning more of my 1996 Gegege no Kitaro scripts :] This is my favorite Kitaro series, so I'm very thankful to have as many scripts as I do.

You might be thinking "Hey!! What's the point of archiving scripts if it's just gonna be in the episode anyway?!" and you'd be partially right!! There's some scripts I own that are essentially the final draft, and have little to no changes compared to the final episode. However!! Some of these scripts have extremely heavy revisions made to them, and can be considered early drafts!!

The script I scanned just recently is for Episode 28, titled: "Fairy Tale: A Ticket To Cat City". There's one page where a staff member crossed out an entire scene with pen!! I go into more detail on the Internet Archive about the differences present in this script, but the ending has been revised compared to the final version. You can view the script here!!:

any autistic people have any tips or scripts for customer service interactions? I’m still trying to build mine and my job is now 200 percent more stressful because they dragged me out of the windowless dungeon (stockroom) to put me on the sales floor to shill product. Really hard for me to walk up and bother people, I have a mental block and while I don’t think they fire people for underperforming at Shilling, I REALLY want to keep this job because it PAYS. My nature is to not bother people and now it’s my job. And half the people in there don’t speak much English and it makes me feel worse 😭

I need money to invest in other things currently, and sadly I’ve decided to sell my SIGNED Good Omens Script Book (the very pretty white and gold version), and I’ll bundle it with a like new copy of Good Omens (the pretty white one too) too.

I checked on eBay and pretty much everyone who is selling the script book is from the UK.

But I am located in the US!!

I know the hype around Good Omens 2 is starting to build, so I’m posting this here to see if there are any interested parties before going straight to eBay.

Is anyone interested in purchasing??

So a few months back I was at a garage sale and this disconcerting old man sold me an old box full of scripts from the 70s and 80s.  When people started talking about Goncharov on here, I actually realized I had a few script drafts from earlier in production in there.  The blocking is sparse, but a lot of this as I understand it made it pretty close to the finished script.

oof i just realized since i have a newer phone now and outlook app works on it, not only can i work on teams off my wrist, but i can do EMAILS off my wrist

"Mirroring an entire website on the modern Internet will take up a massive amount of space," they said. "Limit to small sites unless you have near-unlimited storage."

Laughs in the official B! anime website: set up in ~Dec 2006, boasting no real significant changes in roughly a decade.

Ah...the sheer burden of 23ish MB. My hard drive, it weeps.

OVER FIVE MINUTES LATER

Weeps in official DrrrJP website, set up in 2009, boasting significant updates a decade later.

Ah...the burden of 167ish MB. My hard drive, it has limited storage.

This is misleading of me. The 2010ish version of the site was relegated to its own new sub-directory and thus preserved rather than directly updated (smart!), so it is in fact still accessible. Such a move made room for Drrr!!x2 content and new, separate CSS to modernize the front-end. The English counterpart took a different approach by simply separating Drrr!! and Drrr!!x2 into separate websites; both websites retain the appearances of their corresponding JP counterparts.

Ah... Drrr!!, boasting multiple official still-live websites since 2010. My envy, it smolders.

Actually, I find the Drrr!! website's approach somewhat reassuring. If Drrr!!'s people chose to preserve the original site rather than overhaul it, maybe the B! site would be handled similarly. You know, in the event of some major B! news. Haha.

Thanks to whoever has been keeping the B! website up and running! Excellent work! No need to shut down such a lightweight website ever, right? Right? That wouldnt' be very in the spirit of immortality. Stick to the theme!

Everyone's always so mad over unsolicited criticism but you know what makes me furious? Unsolicited comfort. Me simply not expressing myself the same way as you is not a sign that I'm depressed and in desperate need for you to come to my rescue, it is not an invitation for you to act like my one pillar of reliability or to act like my friend when you do not know my life, do not know wether I do have support, do not know I chose to be in this position you feel so uncomfortable looking at and on god you just don't get to pity me for living my fucking life the way I want to
