“How does this trash even get made?” said Katherine Hubbard, a mother of three from Rockford, IL, who, after buying tickets for the Pixar film Inside Out, was incensed that her children had been exposed to original storytelling.

The Onion is hilarious.

He's aced it again?

Is there a "like" button for status updates?

Thanks guys

Yup, heading in.

I can only make 6pm

You're a cool guy and Aaron's story is inspiring as hell. Helps me on tough days.

"Out of a 100,000 90% are trash." Which would leave ~10,000, so the question becomes what happens to THESE scripts/writers. If the 62 scripts being sold are all from those writers who are already connected does it even matter if we discover the unknown "Bob Dylan?"

Awesome! Just append /rss to the end of the url, and it should work for most podcatchers.

These so-called ballots have been so bad and patently ridiculous.

Are we sure these are real? The latest one has a guy voting or Leviathan cause he likes the whale carcass poster.

That was a really great read.

I think this was the last sale of 2014

Please god don't trust Go into the story for spec sale counts. Haha! Seriously though... they were off by almost 100 last year, and like 75 the year before. Please don't use that as a reference point. Wait for the TB guys to get a final tally, and then for everyone else to steal their stats like last year!

what the duck are you talking about?

My eyes were like "WHY ARE YOU PUNISHING ME."

Like OMG ima so gonna cut my rists if scott doesnt rturn my calls.

Yow. And really dead on too. Very insightful.

Hahaha... wow, they do not like Sandler there.

Miss you guys! The forum chat has been so quiet and empty lately!

On my wish list, big congrats!

Nice! Congrats!

Great work. Very inspiring!

Great example of a script as actor bait.

Agreed. I'm glad he's getting traction...seems like one of the (few) decent W/D's.

Eh, well... I'm not sold on the idea that what he did was plagiarism, but that aside, that sure was a stupid way for him to respond to the accusations.

It's like a non-denial denial. [Footnote: All The President's Men]

Agreed. Regardless of what he said he should have at the VERY least given credit to Ligotti. It's embarrassing that he doesn't even mention him.

Of course Pizzolatto read Pizzolatto - he says exactly that in interviews and has stated that his writing was influential in the show. In fact, he's tells people in interviews to go read Ligotti's books.

Plagiarism is a fuzzy thing in literary works. It's not a simple as "oh, he used lines from such and such (which happens all the time in books and films). As far as I am aware, True Det. is not a plot lifted or characters taken directly from Pizzolatto's books - it's a character who quotes from books that influenced his philosophy on the way he sees the world (which is a very human thing to do).

If the character was only quoting Shakespeare and each time saying "and this, by the way, is a direct quote from a writer known as Shakespeare" no one would give a damn. But it would be pretty stupid.

Moral of the story is to write television.

I hope one will be mine.

Yeah, because critics are right 100% of the time. *eye roll*

I'm starting to believe that Liam Neeson didn't know he was in this movie
