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

Betty White – SHORT ACT I
Here’s what short Acts mean to the Hollywood reader and a producer:
In many movies, a sequence will take place all in the same location, then move to another location at the climax of the sequence. The protagonist will generally be following just one line of action in a sequence, and then when s/he gets that vital bit of information in the climax of a sequence, s/he’ll move on to a completely different line of action based on the new information. A good exercise is to title each sequence as you watch and analyze a movie — that gives you a great overall picture of the progression of action.
Betty White – NOTE: You can also say that a movie is really four acts, breaking the long Act Two into two separate acts: Act II:1 and Act II:2. And some shorter movies, like romantic comedies, animated features, and older classics tend to have three acts of equal proportions, so for a 90 minute movie, look for the Act One Climax at about 30 minutes, the Act Two Climax at 60 minutes, and the Act Three Climax near the end of the movie. You can use either structure. Whichever works best for your story!
Proceed through the movie, stopping to identify the beginning and end of each sequence, approximately every 15 minutes. Also make note of the bigger climaxes or turning points: Act One Climax at 30 minutes, the Midpoint Climax at 60 minutes, Act Two Climax at 90 minutes, and Act Three Climax at whenever the movie ends.
· ASSIGNMENT: Take a film from your master list, preferably the one that is most similar in structure to your own WIP, and screen it, watching the time clock on your DVD player. At about 15 minutes into the film, there will be some sort of climax — an action scene, a revelation, a twist, a big SETPIECE (see Chapter 23 for more on Setpieces). It won’t be as big as the climax that comes 30 minutes into the film, the Act One climax, but it will be an identifiable climax that will spin the action into the next sequence.)
