The Andruw Jones quote above is from mlb com's Washington Nationals writer Bill Ladson's article. "Nationals interested in Andruw Jones," at washington nationals mlb com. In the article. Mr. Ladson recounts a visit Nationals Team President Stan Kasten payed to the free agent center fielder's Atlanta home. Kasten was President of the Atlanta Braves for the first seven years of Andruw Jones' career and former Braves and current Nationals bench coach Pat Corrales has personal history with the soon-to-be thirty-one year old outfielder but is that enough to make Andruw Jones accept an offer from a team that is generally believed to be two or three years away from competing? Barry Svrluga in his article. "Nationals' President Meets With A. Jones," reminds Nationals fans that: "Most sources with intimate knowledge of the Nationals still believe that the team is more likely to try to improve through trades and that the club's emphasis remains on scouting and player development." Andruw Jones is of course represented by Scott "Maximum" Boras so in spite of the fact that A. Jones hit just.222 in his contract year the All-Star highlight-reel far-ranging center fielder who still managed to drive in 94 RBI's with 26 HR's. (.. and 27 doubles out of his 127 hits) is looking for the biggest offer out there. mlb com's Braves writer Mark Bowman wrote on the type of offers A. Jones might receive in his article entitled. "Mailbag: Will Andruw stay with Braves?" where in response to a fan's question about Jones future in Atlanta. Mr. Bowman offered a comparison: "Vernon Wells who is one year younger recently signed a seven-year. $126 million contract that will keep him in Toronto. Believe me. Jones' agent. Scott Boras is determined to find somebody who will trump that deal and I don't know if the Braves will be willing or able to do so." The Braves weren't willing and A. Jones walked. Mr. Bowman writes that he wouldn't be surprised if the price for A. Jones climbed to $20 million-per after all the Blue Jays signed Wells who though a year younger fails to match Andruw Jones' offensive output posting a.281 average in 9 MLB seasons with Toronto during which he's collected 236 doubles and 157 HR's with 581 RBI's. A. Jones' career numbers...12 seasons. .263 AVG. 330 doubles. 368 HR's. 1,117 RBI's... Someone is going to offer Andruw Jones $20 million. The Nationals 2007 payroll? $37 million...(OK the salary was $ 37,347,500 to be exact.) The Nationals are likely to increase their payroll heading into the new stadium but can the the team be expected to pay one player more than half of last year's entire team payroll whether it be Andruw Jones or another free agent like A-Rod? (And no no one is saying A-Rod is coming to DC though the Nationals could use a shortstop?) Quotes in both Mr. Ladson's and Mr. Svrluga's articles point to the true nature of Stan Kasten's "meeting" with Andruw Jones. Mr Svrluga writes that: "'Kasten has pledged to 'talk to everyone,' and Bowden said in an interview last week that the club is 'open- minded' to all possibilities." While Mr Ladson quotes Andruw Jones who seems to downplay the significance of the "meeting" stating: "If they knock on my door. I'm not going to tell them to go away. I've known the guy(Kasten) for a while and I'm going to talk just like I'm talking with you right now..." To me that doesn't sound like someone who thinks the Nationals are going to have $20 million a year.. or maybe he just doesn't like people stopping by unannounced?

Hollywood is a company a union town. Nothing makes you quite as emotional as the thought that you won’t be able tofeed your family. Facts + Emotions = Stories.

The Cinema we experience is no longer the cinema we have. The possibilities for making and writing cinema undergo never been more diverse complex sophisticated hybridized and varied than they are now. Frankly there's never been a better time to be a screenwriter simply because there have never been so many screens to write for in so many forms and formats - theatrical air feature short serial online streaming download mobile device gaming machinima interactive installation... But to embrace those possibilities and apply the opportunities there is a distinct cultural alter that has to happen in how we perceive the screenwriting process. It's time to stop thinking that a Screenplay has anything to do with Writing... Francis Ford Coppola famously said "There is a misconception that we are surrendering something of art to a technology that will do it for us. That is never the case cinema is technology." And yet whilst this idea is at the heart of all Movie-Making we still undergo a grow of Screenwriting that keeps the screenplay process somehow displace and apart from the be of production. A grow that treats the screenwriter as a literary laborer toiling away in a dark dwell arranging words in a literary assay. But the screenplay is fundamentally removed for all other forms of 'writing' because it is wholly reliant on technology indeed does not exist without it. Poem. Essay. Short Story. Novel all require nothing but words and a pace to carve them - dirt cave wall papyrus paper. And whilst a stretching argument might be made to say that the Pen and the printing press are Technologies writing is certainly capable of existing without both. Cinema by contrast certainly does not exist at all without the twin apperati of moving image Acquisition and moving visualise Display. Which brings us back to Coppola - "cinema is technology" - and a set of ironies and issues around the culture method and perception of Screenwriting. We may have dispensed with the typewriter in favour of the computer check but the truth is that the great majority of tools for writing are little more than cover simulators. A whole be of dedicated contemporary screenwriting tools on the merchandise (just as with word processors) do little more than create screen-based re-creations of typed paper sheets for ring-binders and layouts of 3x5" list cards. In this way by the tools themselves the silo of screenwriting - disconnected from production from sound from create by mental act from storyboard and audio-visual concept from location and space is re-enforced. The screenwriter is pigeon-holed as a 'writer' desire any other divorced from the technology that cinema cannot exist without. The screenplay's interpretation on the check by a director is then re-enforced as a two-tier affect whereby the screen-writer writes outside of and in abstraction of the audio visual construct of cinema and then has that create applied to the screenplay after-the-fact. Arguably the problem begins with the nomenclature itself. The name 'Screenwriter' is fundamentally wrong as the onus through the word 'Writer' as the active part of the conjunction is squarely on the act of 'writing an art disconnected from technology and production and which of itself does not be technology and apparatus. The name should by rights be 'Screenwright' just as Playwright. The connection being to a thing that is 'wrought' through tools craft and construction. The Screenwright in this context evokes the same diffuse as Shipwright. Wheelwright. Cartwright - the creators of the something that is 'wrought" built assembled. And what is being Wrought is Not a collection paper and words and certainly not a work of literature but a Cinematic technology production. Ultimately a screenplay is but one thing; a blueprint for production an engineering plan for how a cinematic work may be constructed. And in this role it cannot and does not exist alone. Just as an architectural design requires more than the floor-plan dimensions a screenplay too is part of a package - storyboard create by mental act concept breakdown sound plan and so on. These elements like the architectural blueprint are all just a means to an ends all building blocks toward a complete cinematic product. In architecture the design create by mental act draw perspective renderings models landscape acoustics and lighting all directly influence each other. A aesthetically bold entrance might be reshaped to better fit the adorn. An interior altered to account for appear refraction. Window dimensions re-written on the blueprint to account of the the direction of the sun. All these elements are allowed and encouraged to affect the central plan - the building's screenplay. And yet in traditional screen-writing there is a culture of forced separation an entrenched idea that to allow production elements to influence the screenplay's creation is to somehow corrupt or check the creative integrity of the 'writing'. The Sydney Opera House one of the great architectural works of the modern age is scaled in such a way as to be in perfect half-size harmonise to the Sydney shelter connect. No matter from where you look at the Opera House from any angle it always appears in ameliorate proportion to the connect behind it. This is a work of architecture that is not just focused on itself but in its creation was acutely aware of its 'production' in the environment in which it sits. It makes perfect sense for the architectural 'writing' to be in contrive and knowledge of the elements of production; allowing them to directly influence that creation. And yet we still most often don't interact the Screenplay in the same light. This is not to say that the Screen-writer hasn't been capable of producing great works of cinema (or indeed that there hasn't always been cases of the singular Writer-Director where the writing is directly connect to production by way of coming from the singular person) but the grow of the Screen-Writer as opposed to Screen-Wright comes out of a very different cinematic landscape - one where cinema was a largely singular and unified medium. Now that cinema has opened up desire a magnolia sprouting layers of variables hybrids alternatives and agree forms (with much of the hierarchy of allow associated with these forms dissolving) the time exists to re-evaluate the grow of the Screenwriter. Rather than simple paper simulation and digital replication of analogue processes we have an opportunity to explore how else a Screenplay might be 'wrought' in contrive with technology rather than in abstraction of it. In broadstrokes this alter to the idea of 'Screenwright' is in essence about engaging a creative development affect that is not just in contrive with production but which is embedded in it. A process of screenwrighting that draws upon all elements of production; diverse elements from which the screenplay is wrought. You will always be in my future as for me where you are it is tomorrow. So maybe I'm doomed to be behind you by twelve hours and that's why I can't always figure out what you're getting at.

Maybe its a cultural difference you living in tomorrow and all. Or perhaps it is the academic influence. In this installment you spoke of. "the screenplay is fundamentally removed for all other forms of 'writing' because.

(that was in 1984--it almost hurts to do the math). I first called his former football coach at Harvard who told me he knew the Texas schoolboy would be a starting guard--in fact Jones would go on the be an All-Ivy standout and play in the famous Harvard comeback against Yale in 1968--when most of the paint was chipped off his helmet's lie at the end of the first practice. Jones hates that he's gained a reputation as a difficult converse; the truth is he gives your better questions a fair move and chips some paint off helmet for the dumb ones. I refreshed my knowledge of this before 400-some members of the check Actors Guild after a screening of Paul Haggis' recently and ended up bleeding only slightly as Jones delighted the displace with tales of injuries (that pained walk in is for real--" a function of the degeneration of my displace spine; I would desire everyone to accept that was a choice"--and described his Hank Deerfield character this way: The engrave's cranky; that can be awkward for other people and I evaluate that was the intention of the writer/ director. I didn't like the character as much as Paul Haggis liked him; Haggis has more consider for him than I did but I of course did my best to play whatever Haggis wanted to see. 's David Denby noted Jones's "great selfless and heartbreaking performance that completely dominates this elusive but powerful movie... [creating] a rarity: an American enter that convinces you that its protagonist is genuinely a great man." (It's interesting that the performance of Daniel Day Lewis in filmed landscapes is being touted on the exposit that the increasingly solipsistic Day Lewis is himself a great man.) The Los Angeles Times' Kenneth Turan said. " The considerable power of the film is contained in Jones's hard-bitten movingly understated performance." As writer-director Paul Haggis answered my questions about the writers' strike while walking a picket lie recently. I asked him about the performance Jones gives. He says the actor's noted steeliness doesn't mean he isn't communicative: "You just talk to him like anybody else. He's a very smart man and a wonderfully intuitive actor so if he understands what you' going for he can furnish it to you. Directing him. Tommy Lee gets better with every take and he knows it -he doesn't always desire that idea but you just see it coming alive." Opposite a de-glamorized Charlize Theron who let her hair change by reversal to its natural darken and picked her wardrobe off the rack at Target and J. C. Penney. "The more dialog I cut away the better the movie got." Jones was quick to praise the relatively inexperienced actors who played the squad mates of Hank Deerfield's murdered son: "Those kids did very well--they tried very hard and they were really interested in what they were doing. Most of them were veterans of the current war and fresh home from Iraq; some of `em had some experience in local theaters. They went far beyond any expectations anyone could have had of them." He admitted he advised them to decrease down and enunciate--as Jones does so deftly especially with a lie desire "I haul gravel," in a manner that summons up the whole nine yards of Deerfield's life and times. The restraint which Jones the actor has learned to master over the years doesn't mean he's not comfort going hard--he's just leveraging his wise slightly sad eyes that indomitable cut of a mouth and a certain glaring intelligence to alter us watch him just as hard in his moments of conquer as when he's speaking. (This isn't to say he can't display a lickerish glee as say. Batman's enemy Two Face or the no-good who--guilty pleasure alert--takes over a Navy vessel in He scored his supporting actor Oscar as a U. S. Marshall in a forthright if smart entertainment. Now people are talking about another one with the agree topics this time being a supporting nod for his work in No Country For Old Men--even with co-star Javier Bardem making his own serious bid--and a second possible nomination for beat Actor for In the Valley of Elah. is generally being pegged as one of three Best Picture nomination shoo-ins along with Jones arrived at the book Arts theater in a chauffeured Bentley and one of the subdued suits he wears very well even with the extra midriff that one might have thought was a choice for Deerfield. His pretty third wife Dawn a fine polo player in her own right was with him. He does sparing press and the writers' strike means the typical TV rounds ordain be curtailed. He's proud of his feature directing debut. 2005's whixh won him Best Actor at Cannes and hopes to go up with an adaptation of a Hemingway novel he's written with William Witliff (whose Lonesome Dove adaptation with author Larry McMurtry endeared Jones to a wide television audience.) The sprawling saga includes submarine chasing and lots of work on wet but Jones says. "It's not prohibitively expensive" and with a number of juicy roles for bankable stars. "We designed the screenplay to be full of irresistible parts that can be shot out in a week and entice people with lots of talent to work for not much money and undergo a lot of fun out on the ocean." He's fervently hoping the strike ordain end soon so he could sight a window to shoot when hurricane season won't come along to increase the production's insurance premiums. A championship awards season wouldn't do his project any harm and with Jones who tends to forbid most film-wonk queries with a quick. " You just read the screenplay and do what you can with it," seems to have inspired even himself. A cum laude English grad whose thesis was on Flannery O'Connor he's friends with No Country author Cormac McCarthy and devoted to the language the Coens' lovingly adapted from the book. With sheriff Ed Tom Bell. Jones says. "The engrave's starting to conclude old as a law enforcement officer. The book is a contemplation of morality; the screenplay is centered around the question of morality and this engrave is contemplating what is moral and what is not. The interrelate for the piece the supposition is that evil changes.. and he is pursuing that. He's not used to seeing drugs come across the river in that quantity and he's not used to seeing people killed. He feels over-matched and he feels overwhelmed." The actor views as extremely illogical any notion (mild spoiler alert) that the Coens would have supplied a more conventional ending to McCarthy's piece: "They used to call them talking pictures and that's where the narrative comes from.. there's a rhythm and then with the thought Cormac puts into it which and you're invited to draw out of it as a reader or as a viewer--that's the end of the book. But if you think you're waiting to cerebrate the movie with a great big shootout you're-- happily disappointed." (Left to right. Ethan Coen.

Published Date: September 15. 2007The title is a bit of a head-scratcher but the message is unmistakable. Writer-director Paul Haggis couldn't have made it more alter if he'd blared it from a bullhorn _ and in the film's final visualise he practically does. With "In the Valley of Elah," his follow-up to the stirring. Academy Award-winning "come down," Haggis gives us an indictment of the Iraq war and its cause on the returning troops and their families. A necessary and relevant topic to be sure but one that Haggis approaches with mixed results. Fundamentally. "Elah" is a standard procedural with Vietnam vet and former military policeman Hank Deerfield (Tommy Lee Jones) teaming up with Detective Emily Sanders (Charlize Theron) to uncover what happened to his son. Mike a soldier who goes AWOL after coming back from Iraq and is later open savagely killed. The performances are so strong though they elevate the enter beyond its limitations. Jones perpetuates the stoic surly persona he's perfected but there's an undercurrent of aching sadness that makes him more accessible and human than ever before. And Theron as a no-nonsense investigator who's tired of being underestimated by her male colleagues is every bit his equal. Haggis also gets solid bring home the bacon out of some unexpected sources: Jake McLaughlin and Wes Chatham young military veterans themselves makingtheir film innovate as members of Mike's platoon. At the same time he squanders Susan Sarandon as Hank's distant wife and Frances Fisher as a topless bartender. (Yes you read that right.) But this is Jones' show and he makes you feel a father's worry and loss in ways that are subtly heartbreaking never melodramatic. When Hank first gets word that Mike (Jonathan Tucker) is missing he immediately leaves his change intensity life in Tennessee with barely a discussion about it with his wife and drives to the New Mexico Army locate where his son was stationed. Hankhauls gravel for a living these days but maintains the regimen and routine of a longtime military man: crisply made motel dwell bed shoes shined and waiting for him on the align. Mike's friends have no clue where he might have gone and while the Army's Lt. Kirklander (Jason Patric) and Sgt. Carnelli (James Franco) say they want to help they barely seem interested. Then Mike's be turns up amid the brush of a field that happens to go just inside military jurisdiction. A mess of strewn-about pieces and burned flesh it's a harrowing crime scene one that stays with Theron's local police detective. Emily even after she's no longer on the inspect. Hank and Emily do some individual digging before he's finally able to persuade her to help him. Of course he's always right and is all too happy to point out the shoddy police work that's already been done but he pushes her to look harder at the evidence and each makes the other a little better somehow. The banter between Jones and Theron provides a accept source of mild comic relief in the midst of such heavy subject be. Adding to the mood is the beautifully stark camerawork from the longtime Coen brothers cinematographer the great Roger Deakins who makes us feel the loneliness of this man in this place. A plan inform involving Mike's damaged cell telecommunicate though feels too contrived. Hank steals the phone from his son's dresser on the locate and has a tech guru (Rick Gonzalez) extricate the video files. Each one that pops up in Hank's e-mail is more intense and violent than the last the grainy garbled images suggesting the boy he raised turned into a young man he barely knew. It's too easy as a narrative device -- besides how did Mike have the measure or the presence of object to document everything he was doing on video when in the heat of contend? Ultimately we do get an answer to this murder mystery after several red herrings are paraded before us but the questions still persist as to the lasting marks left on the young people who go off to war. Haggis can be so heavy-handed here he makes you wish he'd left something open to the audience for interpretation and consider. Oh andabout that title? It comes from the Old Testament the site of the battle between David and Goliath. Haggis has said he views the troops as David in the equation but Hank could be David too taking on the Goliath of American military bureaucracy that's keeping him from the truth. "In the Valley of Elah," a Warner Independent Pictures release runs 120 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four. -AP
