Golden Apples, Oranges, Kumquats
Today the WGA announced its nominees for the best screenplays of 2005, the usual mixed bag cinematic buffet that reminds me to get out of the damn house to see some movies and/or stop filling my Netflix queue with well-intentioned, earnest, thoughtfully paced foreign films that I will never watch.

Brokeback and Good Night take it here and with the Academy.
Also think they should have honored Woody for Match Point instead of Cinderella Man.
And also Roth/Kushner for Munich. Not Gaghan.
Was Munich based on a book?
I have a lot of these to see as well, so let me know if you want to see any together. And just so you know I'm on the up-and-up, your boyfriend's welcome to come along too! ;-)
Scott, I gather so: IMDb says it was based on George Jonas' book VENGEANCE.
MUNICH I'm really looking forward to. Kushner is like unto a god, as far as I'm concerned.
Sounds good, FJ, let's see how schedules jibe!
