2= Paul Thomas Anderson
44= Quentin Tarantino
93= Steve Zaillian

And for an aspiring screenwriter, I'm apallingly ignorant.
You're up at this hour too? Or is it not "this hour" where you're from?

jblack04/18/2001

I'm in Oklahoma. Its 420 am. You are right on 2 and 93. Technically, you are wrong on Pulp Fiction. Tarantino wrote the stories but not the screenplay..

dgeiser1304/18/2001

Dude, you are high! Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary wrote the stories. Quentin Tarantino wrote the screenplay.

jblack04/18/2001

You're right Dan. I was high. Sorry jen you're right I was confused.

dgeiser1304/18/2001

jblack04/18/2001

Thanks for straightening me out up there Dan. For some reason I thought Avary co wrote the screenplay. You are right on all but Small Change. He had a co writer.

dgeiser1304/18/2001

Hey, Jeff! Actually I'm wrong on The Right Stuff. Tom Wolfe is only credited with the book. And I'm only 1/2 right on Annie Hall.

jblack04/20/2001

I should have researched these before listing them. I thought i'd know these from memory. yeah, right. Thanks dan for squaring me away.
