Things have been extremely crazy today.<br /><br />I guess I think of "Bringing Up Baby" as screwball comedy, but I can see it that way. And the good thing is that I already have most of those on DVD.Steve Buchheithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999709767641212586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111384.post-29195425059842885032012-01-18T10:50:36.087-05:002012-01-18T10:50:36.087-05:00Get thee hence to Jennifer Crusie's blog, and ...Get thee hence to Jennifer Crusie's blog, and read, well, pretty much everything that looks like it's a writing post.<br /><br />Check out her "Popcorn Diaries" too. She and her other romantic comedy writer friends watch a crap-tonne of romcom, and then analyze it on a podcast/blog. <br /><br />Also, backfiles of the "Will Write for Wine" podcast address a lot of romantic comedy stuff.<br /><br />Watch "His Girl Friday" next. No questions. That's the one to watch.<br /><br />Other good movies: "Bringing Up Baby," "The Philadelphia Story," "Woman of the Year," "The Proposal," "Groundhog Day," "Clueless," "Music and Lyrics," "It's Complicated" -- I consider that a good, broad spectrum.<br /><br />And books: Bridget Jones's Diary (Fielding), any Crusie book...
