10 years "My So-Called Life"
I enjoyed the script. I had some thoughts:
San Slawsen?? Is that just a major typo? That was a funny line. Early signs of the pressue Brian put on himself. Although I can't actually picture this happening in the show. This whole scene was confusing. Was it a fantasy? The dialogue was the same, but it felt very different than the finished product. - Jim
Kaytee Bodle: Girl With Guitar http://girlwithguitar.0catch.com (audio, video, tabs, lyrics, etc.) Yeah, big OCR-error. It's supposed to read SHARON SLAWSEN. I don't think it was a fantasy - the part with "OPTICALLY BEGIN TO VANISH" probably means that there was something else going on in another room (or something like that) and all kids just left the living room or at least the area where Angela and Jordan were. Maybe Winnie imagined some time-speed-up SFX here. Though it seems very unlikely that for some reason all kids suddenly disappear from the room. And it wasn't just her imagination - the kids were really gone IMHO. I guess the writers had the same objections, but Angela and Jordan had to be alone for this scene to work. That's probably why they added that whole "Angela falls in mud and searches for a bathroom" scene to find a way to get Angela and Jordan alone together.
"Optically vanish" makes me think of the scene in American Beauty where Lester imagines all the cheerleaders disappearing except Angela.
So where did you find that script anyway, Sascha? That was some nice bit of history. - Jim

I took the "optical vanish" directions to mean that there would be short time lapses in the scene -- we see a bunch of kids in the room and then cut, it's the same exact frame but less people, the scene continues for a moment, and then cut again, the same exact frame but even less people, a few more moments, and then cut again, same frame, less people. This might happen a few times until it leaves only Jordan and Anglea in the frame. It's a cool idea, but I ldon't like the idea that Tino's party is kids sitting around watching TV.
Sometimes I write a little MSCL fanfiction: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1039807/Jody-Barsch
Also, after multiple V. Mars reiterations, and finally a Deadwood movie, still wishing for some continuation of The Riches ! Re: A blast from the past: The Kory Lasker WebsiteSseeing this old website (which I remember in it original form) really makes me heart sick. Back in the day, mscl was so important to me...

the show ..Okay, so i'm new on this forum. I had NO idea that they actually had a forum for "My So Called Life" .. i LOVE this show! .. I just started watching it this summer/ 04 and i LOVED it ! Usually older shows aren't this good. It still plays on family and I watch it every night at 11:00pm. They're all repeats but ah well .. lol, it's great to see others sharing the same interests.
you answer all my questions with things that scream depression, locked up in pessimism, get me out of this life.
