Tassler’s Clever Parting Shot At Silverman

COMMENTS (16)

• It took me a moment to research this term.

  It appears a D-girl has several meanings.

  - a girl from the Soprano’s episode

  - a development girl for film, it sounds demeaning

  - a dope girl from the hip hop song.

  Personally I hope she’s all woman and kicks NBC’s ass.

  You can start by buying one of my scripts or plays Go D girls go.

• CBS doesn’t buy scripts from wackjobs on websites. They typically develop series from established professionals geared towards indiscrimate nursing home residents. D-Girls are usually young girls.

• D-girl: a female, often in her twenties or thirties, who works in film/TV development and who commonly has a heightened, often delusional, sense of self importance and power because she works for a high level exec, producer or studio (and because in truth she suffers from deep-seated insecurities). In reality, the D-girl is rarely as sharp as she thinks she is and always more replaceable. See “D-boy” for her male counterpart, a similar though equally unique form of douche.

• really 8and5? has this site really turned into a place where wanna-be’s and the biz-illiterate try to peddle their shlock? do you really think that some kind of miracle will happen and someone might want to read one of your 8 or 5? Really? go do some more “research” on how the biz operates.

• Fade In:

  Some crack den in the Pacific Pals. Noon.
  Bong Silverman is trying to punch in the numbers on his CrackBerry.

  BS: (no pun intended)
  Nina, Nina, this is Bong Silverman. I have a major sponsor hooked up to a new format…it’s all about how people fail forward.

  (Audio: If you would like to make a call please hang up and try again)
  BS: (pun intended)
  Nina, is Steve there? Nina it’s me Bong! Pick up.

  Let’s see if some real writers can add to this opening…

• Silverman deserves the knives – treating real pros in this Biz like that and then expecting everyone to play nice when U get canned? Oh and what’s the deal with Diller hiring him? Insight? Anyone?

• What a classy response from Nina Tassler. Silverman’s remark was so insulting. Let’s hope he never has to pitch to her in the future..

• @Russ Meyer = the best comment of the day.

• Of whatever…with his D-girl remark Silverman was just showing his jealousy that the d-girls were sleeping with the same guys he wanted to hit.

• How exactly is Ben going to have something to pitch at CBS? The unending mediocrity and snoozearama procedurals are not exactly in his limited wheelhouse. The D-girl thing isn’t unwarranted. You don’t see a whole lot of dudes over there but they are more like d-girl’s grandmas.
