Name the screenwriter
 
This idea just popped into my head. I don't know if there will be any interest, but this will work the same way as the name the actor/actress thread. Post shots from at least three movies a particular screenwriter has done. I'll start with an easy one.

The middle shot is from the '76 version of A Star is Born, which makes the answer John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion?

It's only the one guy. Your turn.

The film's IMDB page credits both as co-screenwriters...anyway...

Claire, to me, this seems very hard. How would we know who the screenwriter is? (Obviously, posters above me know.)

Don’t think I would know a screenwriter if I fell over her.

John Gregory Dunne and Joan Didion were husband and wife. They wrote all three of those films - A Panic in Needle Park, A Star is Born, and Up Close and Personal - together.

It's another variation of movie still identification. If you can identify one of the three movies you can identify the screenwriter. If you don't know who wrote the movie you recognize look it up. In that sense is it any different than the other games? It's just grouping the movies differently.

So it’s not based on knowledge. It’s based on how fast one can google it.

Re: Name the screenwriter
 
All of these games are like that, especially as they have gone on longer and all the brand names have been done more than once. I happen to know a lot of screenwriters by name and their credits, but the ones Gideon pulled already I didn't know off the top of my head. But I recognized Easter Parade and Lady in the Dark. From there it's a really quick trip to the IMDb to get their names and for me to figure out the third flick.

But if you don't want to play that way you don't have to. For those of us who like these games it's fun to at least see, oh, I didn't realize the same person who wrote such and such also wrote that or I forgot they did that early in their career or whatever. If that level of movie trivia doesn't interest you that is both fine and dandy.

Don't recognize that shot of William Atherton but the middle shot looks like Bruce Dern in Coming Home, which would make the answer Waldo Salt?

Holden Pike 06-08-20 05:20 PM

Re: Name the screenwriter
 
Correct.
Waldo Salt
The Day of the Locust, Coming Home, and The Gang Who Couldn't Shoot Straight

Way too old for me.

Gideon58 06-10-20 12:25 PM

Whenever he gets around to it, Holden should know this one.

Re: Name the screenwriter
 
Are we waiting indefinitely for Holden to get this?
