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

Here’s what the writer needs to do: Go to Starbucks (or a local café or diner). Sit near the cash register and listen! Grab a cup of coffee, eat a slice of pie or enjoy a whole meal. Pretend to read a newspaper; I don’t care as long as you’re listening. When people interact with strangers (the cashier, waiters, etc.) they often use idle chit-chat (filler dialogue) because silence would be awkward. The # 1 filler chit-chat should be obvious; it’s the weather. They’ll talk about how the snow buried their car or left them stranded on I-60 overnight. They’ll talk about the how rain never stops or how they hope it’ll be sunny soon. If they don’t talk about the weather, they’ll pick another ‘filler’ topic. They might comment on the food or how they’re stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey. Or maybe they’ll comment on the traffic. The common denominator is something everyone has in common; weather, food and traffic.
In my opinion, this is the easiest way to develop an ear for dialogue. Most writers already know how to eliminate filler dialogue, but it’s still a good exercise to do because filler dialogue in a screenplay can slow down the pacing, flatten the dialogue and frankly, it’ll bore the audience to tears.
Juliet Rylance – EXERCISE #1 – Learning to Eliminate Filler Dialogue
Here are a few exercises I’d like the writer to do. They can be painstaking, but fun and once completed, the writer will have an ear for dialogue.
Does a character state this aloud? When do we realize that this is the main question and action of the story?
Juliet Rylance – CENTRAL QUESTION, CENTRAL STORY ACTION
What does the hero/ine say they want to do, or what do we understand they intend to do? The plan usually starts small, with a minimum effort, and gradually we see the plan changing. It’s extremely useful to track the plan from the beginning to end of the story.
