US News names their 25 Best Careers for 2007 and Librarian is right up there - although we get a “C” rating for both “job outlook” and “prestige”. (Physician’s assistant on the other hand…)

The Ultimate Library Movie

Mike M. responded to my "Top 10 Memories of FIMS" post by suggesting I should write a library screenplay (noting the beautiful irony of doing a movie rather than a book.)
Here is my response: "Party Girl" didn't really do it so I think there's still room for a really good library movie - either a dark indy-Canadian type flick, starring Eric Peterson as the crusty head librarian with a heart of gold and Sarah Polley as the ditzy but sensitive new librarian hire who gets the library out of its funding cut crisis via innovative programs such as "Singles Night in the Stacks" and the "Rockin' Your Books Off" concert series which triples patron visits and rallies community support saving the library. It could also be a big Hollywood romantic comedy starring Tom Hanks as the crusty head librarian with a heart of gold and Cameron Diaz as the ditzy but sensitive new librarian hire who reaches out to the people with her innovative programs such as "Singles Night in the Stacks" and the "Rockin' Your Books Off" concert series with her and Tom Hanks accidently on purpose hooking up at the first event and partying down as the end credits roll during the second one. He also suggested the title should use the words "wild" and/or "crazy". So... Title if it's an indy? Librarians in the Wild Title if it's a blockbuster? These Librarians Are Crazy! (And because it's so obvious, title if its a different genre? Librarians Gone Wild) (I gotta work on my log lines - I'm outta practice.) |
