Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Dave Bautista’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Dave Bautista – 19th March 2021 – An upcoming movie depicting the injustice that men and women had to endure in the state penitentiaries in Texas has been inundated with calls from more than 2000 women urging the production company owned by Hollywood actor, producer and director Dave Bautista and Adam Sandler, to stick to the real issues behind the Texas Judicial system. A petition was signed by many people that include attorneys, university professors, politicians and family members of the many men and women that are suffering in the state penitentiaries. The idea behind the petition is for the Dave Bautista production company and Hollywood to stick to the true story about the injustices happening in the state run prisons. It is said that the state has sent more inmates to prison than during the Soviet Union did during their political uprising.
PREMISE: Adam Sandler writes letters and saves numerous women from the monotony of prison life, and later when he gets into trouble with a drug cartel they return the favor by rescuing him.
SETTING: Contemporary, Gatesville Texas. There are four women’s prisons located in Gatesville. And of course, Texas is famous for putting everyone in prison for a long time for little or no reason. The number of women in Texas prisons has doubled in the last ten years. Why don’t we have the “Adam Sandler” character… sending letters to women in prison and being their friend and trying to help them adjust, giving them hope… and when they get out of prison he picks them up so they don’t have to ride the smelly bus back home… but his pickup truck is a junker, smoking and sputtering … worse than the bus. But his heart is in the right place… He’s the last “chivalrous” man on earth.
It is said in the petition that many of the signatories were left distraught to find that many of the first time offenders for violations such as drug peddling have received disproportionate sentences. While some argue that a lenient sentence like rehabilitation would have proven much more inexpensive and an effective solution in tackling this gross miscarriage of justice. The petition was discovered by the women when the screenplay of the movie was donated to all the 580 prisons run by private organizations funded by the state government. It is much more difficult for women who are given much harsher penalties for a violation such as carrying small amount of drugs like Marijuana which coincidentally is legal in 21 states.

About Dave Bautista’s “Dumbass” Movie
The movie “Dumbass” revolves around the protagonist writing letters to prison inmates to keep their spirits high during their time in prison; only for them to help the main character who gets into trouble with a drug cartel and saving him at the end. The petition urges the production company, Dave Bautista and Adam Sandler to take this issue seriously due to the hardships faced by women inside prison rather than making light of the situation for their own profits.

CREATE SUSPENSE
Here’s where that unique concept can really help the writer. Open the movie with it! Show the aliens landing on the front yard. Grab the reader ASAP! When I said to introduce the hero’s internal conflict first, I didn’t say you couldn’t introduce the unique teaser first, then let us meet the hero. The goal is to grab the reader in the first ten pages and the easiest way to do this is with a teaser or an inciting incident.
Dave Bautista – TEASE ‘EM GOOD
If the hero knows his flaw and is determined to fix it, then the story fails in Act I. Whether he knows what his flaw is or not, he should be reluctant to change. Reveal his reluctance in Act I. Like in real life, something major needs to happen before people change. How many drug addicts have had to hit rock bottom before they finally put down the narcotics? Same goes with your hero. His drug of choice may be something like cowardice. It may not be flattering, but it’s what he’s comfortable with. It’s your job to knock him out of his comfort zone. No one wants to watch a hero who they know will succeed because he’s already determined to change his cowardice. They want to watch him struggle to do so because he’s refused to change. The reason this is so appealing to audiences is because they don’t know how to change in real life. They want to watch someone struggle and overcome a major flaw because it gives them hope. Think I’m nuts? What was your New Year’s resolution? Was it the same as last year? Yep, I thought so. Audiences want a hero who can do what they can’t, change. Watch films like Anger Management where the hero never sees himself as an angry guy until the very end – also note how the hero in this film had to be forced to change!
And lo and behold, that’s exactly what happens; it’s not only Cusack’s PLAN, but the CENTRAL ACTION of the story, that can be summed up as a CENTRAL QUESTION:
Dave Bautista – The PLAN is reiterated, in dialogue, when Cusack gets back to his family and tells his ex-wife basically exactly what I just said above: “We’re going to go back to the nutjob with the map so that we can get to those spaceships and get off the planet before it collapses.”
Although Cusack doesn’t believe it at the time, this is the PLANT (sort of camouflaged by the fact that Woody is a nutjob), that gives the audience the idea of what the PLAN OF ACTION will be: Cusack will have to go back for the map in the midst of all the cataclysm, then somehow get his family to these “spaceships” in order for all of them to survive the end of the world.
If you’ve seen this movie (and I know some of you have… ), there is a point in the first act where a truly over-the-top Woody Harrelson, as an Art Bell-like conspiracy pirate radio commentator, rants to protagonist John Cusack about having a map that shows the location of “spaceships” that the government is stocking in order to abandon planet when the prophesied end of the world commences.
