I don't have it, but I've heard that the original play is the roof scene between Jonathan, Isabel and Alec (the one where she sees them kissing). Don't know if it's true, but I hope that helps you...

Huh? The whole play is just that scene? That's some rewriting!

Isn't it? :) I love how you can take something and develop it in so many directions, still giving the sense of what the core is...

Yea, I don't see how anyone can write without knowing exactly where they want to end up. Or maybe it's just me. But that movie is some work if that is the case!

I bet it was made possible because they did know where they wanted to get to, what they had to figure out is where they start and how they contact it all. :) Pretty amazing, I think, yep. Makes me adore this movie even more. Wish I could buy it here on DVD!

I haven't gone looking for it in the stores here, so I don't know if it's easily available. BUT if you shop online, it's at Amazon US: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000B5IOX4/qid=1150670556/sr=1-6/ref=sr_1_6/103-7665256-1322251?s=dvd&v=glance&n=130

and Amazon CA: http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000B5IOX4/qid=1150670709/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3_3/701-1578734-1248305

I love how both pages recommend Happy Endings too. Both awesome movies!

*whimpers pathetically*

I mean, thank you so much for the links, but shipping from Amazon to Israel is way above my budget. I went around looking for it in Israel and - absolutely nothing! :(

:"> You're gonna laugh at me. I don't have any computer of my own, just the uni ones, which won't allow it. And now you may laugh at me, because I am, indeed, the most pathetic of Heights' fans.

reply

Nah, I doubt it. I've seen worse fans of ANYTHING b4 ;-)

reply

Awww, thank you. :) And yeah, I guess the fact that the movie was shown here for something like three seconds and yet I managed to go see it twice (with two different people) isn't being the worst fan ever, right? :)

Well I'm in NYC and didn't even notice it came out until I saw it on TV and remembered seeing the trailer and wanting to go see it. I was like "Wow I thought it was delayed. How'd I miss it completely???"

So you're looking pretty good compared to me right now haha!

reply

*chuckles* Nah, it really was one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it movies, sadly. Very sadly, actually, because I think most people who didn't get to see it, missed out. :) So we're both looking good. ;)

I actually just finished doing the play for Fringe (which made me laugh at the comments in the movie)... The whole thing is quite different. Only the three characters appear (or are really even talked about for that matter). It opens with Isabel, who has insomnia, meeting Alec on the roof. They bond. Jonathan enters and "it" hits the fan soon after as the truth is known and they're locked on the roof. Also, Alec is much more manipulative in the play. No one winds up together at the end. I really enjoyed the show and I have to say Amy Fox is an excellent writer!

reply

Now you've got me really curious about reading this play. Wish I had a way to get my hands on it...

Thanks for your description!

It's published by Dramatists (www.dramatists.com) in a book of one-acts called "Thicker Than Water: One-Act Plays By The Members Of Youngblood". I loved doing it!

reply

I'm fron nowhere near North America, so book publications like this one don't generally get here. :) Thank you though, and I'm glad to hear you loved it!
