Petition Addressing the Texas Judicial System Requests Support through Julianna Margulies’s “Dumbass”
Will Hollywood be a Reason for Change in the Injustice against Men and Women Prisoners?
Julianna Margulies – 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 Julianna Margulies 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 Julianna Margulies 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.

It’s a simple phrase, but in the context of the scene means the guy should have waited for confirmation and payment before going on a spending spree. We don’t need the buddy to say everything because the mistake made is obvious. If the buddy did state everything, the dialogue would become too direct and repetitive.
You should have waited.
Julianna Margulies – THE BUDDY
Studying clichés and their meaning is a great way to understand subtext. However, you can’t use clichés in a spec screenplay and hope to sell it. Let’s say you have a scene where a guy thinks he won a $10K bingo and goes out and maxes out his credit cards. Later, he discovers it was a prank pulled by his buddy. The cliché ‘Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched’ might apply to this scenario, but you can’t use the cliché. Instead, work through phrases to use in the scene that provide an underlying meaning. For example, the buddy might simply say something like:
THRESHOLD GUARDIAN
Julianna Margulies – This scene is often at a sequence climax or the Act One Climax. Sometimes there are a whole series of thresholds to be crossed.
What is the Special World? How is it different from the Ordinary World? How do you make entering this world a significant moment?
