================================================================== TOPFIVE.COM'S LITTLE FIVERS -- MOVIES Revised 5th Goldenrod ================================================================== September 3, 2010 The Top 9 Signs You're Being Stalked by a Screenwriter 9. You find a dozen discarded Starbucks cups in a doorway down the street. 8. She's polite, intelligent and dressed for comfort. In Los Angeles. What else could she possibly be? 7. Heavy-breathing phone calls saying, "I feel the need... to read." 6. Each week, someone different is following you with a new "take" on your undying love. 5. Mash notes come in 9"x12" manilla envelopes marked "REQUESTED MATERIAL." 4. Every tenth day there's a smarmy, fast-talking guy in a suit with a Blackberry watching you instead. 3. On vacation at the Grand Canyon, your echo comes back puched up and 53% funnier. 2. The ransom note for your rabbit begins: "FADE IN - NIGHT. A man's blood-stained shoes walk briskly down a dark alley..." and the Number 1 Sign You're Being Stalked by a Screenwriter... 1. Telling him that cutting off your limbs and putting you in a box would be derivative of Boxing Helena actually makes him put down the axe and rethink his whole strategy.
