Ben’s back…

  • Everyone seemed to be a bit enraged that Ben & Matt didn’t mention Kevin or Scott in theirOcscar speech…Hey, you know they meant it. Give ’em a break! It’s gotta be tough up there. And hell, they didn’t thank Lawrence Bender either, so they’re still cool in our book! Anyway, Ben posted about this on the WWWBoard last night. Here’s what he had to say:
Okay, let me address the issue that must certainly be at the forefront of everyone here’s mind.

it all begins several years ago. Two guys are in dire straits. No one will buy their screenplay and they’re about to be fired off of it. Miramax has already passed, but a dear friend and supporter of one of the writer’s offers to take the script directly to the chairman of the company for his immediate attention. Gratefully the writer thanks his friend, gives him the script, the Miramax chairman buys it, it gets made, the writers win the Oscar for best screenplay and promptly forget to thank the Fellow(s) that made it all possible way back when. No one would believe this, you say? What ingrates and scoundrels you have for main characters, you proclaim? Indeed, to sorry for fiction, it could only be true. Sadder still I am one of said ingrates who has been locked in his hotel room in self-flaggelation for the past two days. What numbskulls, what can I say, but this: Thank you and I’m sorry.

Thank you Kevin and Scott for making this dream a reality.
Look for a piece in the trades to follow.
