what do you guys think of Everyone Whose Anyone?

[JustinoXXV]

An angry writer has posted the contact info of everyone in publishing and film.

I know the creator of that web site got banned from this board for his work. I wonder how I would feel if every agent I queried with a crappy proposal posted my work and laughed at it? Huh.

I agree entirely with your thoughts on the subject, Justino. Now I just have to wait and see what your/my opinion is.

What would be the point of even circulating that link?

Again, if you have true writing talent JUSTIN, you send your query letters to the different prominant agencies. someone pissed off at the agents who didnt like his obnoxious queries, whats that suppose to do to help anyone?

Wondering if thats your list, and this is just another way to display the list.
Why dont you just write. Stop with all the B.S.

Actually, Writing Fool, you only send query letters to major agencies in the publishing world. Officially, the big agencies dealing with film industry talent (screenwriters) such as the WMA, ICM, CAA, do not accept queries.

Notice that optioned writers like Joe here aren't represented by those agencies. If queries worked so well and so easy, they would be. As I mentioned in another post, for that kind of representation, you need a serious deal on the table.

That website, Everyone Whose Anyone, is kind of funny. The guy was upset because he felt rejected, and went on a rampage. I found it funny. I am in no way affliated with that website or that person.

Do I have to hose you two down?

ANGRY?

He's just a guy with different opinions. I thought that's what made the US great? Strange, but I find Europe today more liberal than the US. I don't mean liberal wishy-washy, I mean liberal 'listen to other people's pov,' liberal.

I find a lot of the old characters from your Wild West still alive and kicking over here. Thankfully most of them don't use guns. They're mean characters, but fair -- just don't cross them. They're not young guys in gangs, but men right up to 70 years of age, individuals in their own right.

Their women, they're just as rough and tough -- crossing them isn't wise either because they handle themselves as well as any of the men.

Then there's the middle-class as they call themselves, many of them in debt and those that aren't are leaving the place or wishing they could. They're probably more like middle-Americans, or they try to be.

The upper-class are a varied mixture of the above.

This town's a middle-England town and I love the characters.

So 'angry?' -- from what I understand from this Site, it's mostly middle-Americans who are extremely proper, polite -- genteel, don't swear, drink temperately and nudity is out of the question. That's the US idea of England, isn't it...? Frankly, I'm still trying to get my head around middle-America. Hollywood films are full of nudity, swearing and smoking cigarettes -- do you see any of that over there, or do they cut it all out because you're all so genteel and proper?

So 'angry?' -- I don't think Gerard Jones can get his head around middle-America, or even Canada either by the sounds of it. If he came to this place in middle-England, I think he'd find he was pretty average and pretty normal. In which case he'd modify his approach, because over here, people tend to listen and give responses even to extreme views. Too extreme and they make jokes at you -- if not to your face, behind your back, but gossip being what it is, you'll be told.

So I find middle-England these days pretty tolerant, but wild compared to the US, I think. The cities, here, well, they're a bit more tense and impersonal.

So I guess I'm a bit like Gerard Jones, although not as extreme. I like dialogue, wit and outrage. I like swearing and nudity because they are outrageous, but I also admire true gentility, because it too makes me gasp and wonder at purity.

These are strange times, I guess, that those things I take for granted should in some curious corner of the world that considers itself free, be considered evil.

No one's called Gerard evil.

As for this board, this board doesn't represent all of America or all of middle class America. This is a moderated board where certain things aren't permitted, things which are ultimately entirely left up to the owner.

By the way, Gerard Jones got quite a few rejections from the British publishing industry. So apparently in the business world sense, Britain and the US were of one mind when it came to Mr. Jones.

'Evil,' sorry JustinoXXV, I guess that's just my use of artistic license.

Yeah, Gerard is extreme, which I haven't denied (I couldn't deny it, and I doubt even he wouldn't deny it :)). I don't dislike middle-America or anyone really. We're all doing our best, even Gerard, even me and you as well, J.

The bottom-line all-in-all is this board probably isn't for me, with which I think most contributors and even the owners would agree. Curious how different places, even cyber adopt their own levels and attitudes.

Mine I guess are just different, which no amount of dialogue here will remedy, but my dialogue here neither amuses, entertains nor informs and that will never do.

hehe do we even need the hollywood creative directory anymore?

Looks like I got some mass queries to do. ;) J/K
