I love it when folks get passionate about screenwriters, and the only misfire in the masterful thingamajig you pen-scribbled above was the missed opportunity at the very end: You should have concluded with a mock-pitch for a show called The Gawker, girl!!!!!
Come on, everyone, who's gonna play who?
(In all seriousness, you raise a very good point in your first graph--much agreed.)
He won them for his coverage of the Lebanese war, and respectively, the 1st Intifada. The material he produced during that time is collected in his first book, From Beirut to Jerusalem--which is taught in journalism schools these days. It really is a towering achievement in terms of wartime reportage, at least in my view.
The aphoristic bullshit he's been churning for the past decade is bizarrely lame by comparison.
1. One should mention, if only in passing, the Janet Cook debacle (WaPo journalist awarded Pulitzer in the early '80s for extraordinary feature writing series on child heroin addicts, subsequently revealed to have been completely fabricated.)
2. I sat in the vicinity of a future Pulitzer Prize winner in my olde days as LAT intern: Nicolai Ouroussoff, then the resident architecture critic. (He won the Pulitzer after he moved to the NYT.) No particular insights on him--for whatever it's worth, I found his writing at the time somewhat pompous, but I was clearly wrong.
The only other Pulitzer-winner I had some professional interactions with is Dan Neil (2004 Pulitzer for automobile reviews/criticism), and he was/is an insanely inspiring, talented, awesome stand-up guy. He actually sued the Tribune Co. at some point in a class-action suit over some of the dick-fuckery underfoot during Sam Zell's tenure--particularly because he sensed his Pulitzer would lend gravitas to fellow LAT employees' claims of outrageous mistreatment..)
God bless, etc.
With that I conclude this troll-feeding session. #crosstalk
FYI, your multiple starred/non-starred personas are glaringly sock puppets of the same individual--same voice, same style of fabulistic anecdotes, same, same, same, same.
Whatever make you feel self-actualized + happy, gurrl. Carry on.
Please look for me in the room next door, dear. #crosstalk
PS: Still hooked on Aubrey Plaza + have you at last made contact with her?!!
I noticed that sometimes, after I post a comment, my avatar displays the contours of a star next to it. I hovered my mouse over it and the star fills out and turns gold. Then the skeleton star goes away after a few minutes.
I wonder what happens if I click on it, but I am mortified at the thought that, if the star turns gold, it will appear as if I "starred" myself.
Has anyone else experienced that?
Should I click on it or not?
'K thx bai!

ETA, since your question is too short to reply to: To the best of my knowledge, she owns ZERO cats. Unless she keeps them locked up in a trunk while she has visitors.
