Good news? "Terminator: Genisys" isn't as bad as expected. Bad news? It's still not good.

Scripts that always seem to come up on the annual Black List:
The “Cease and Desist” script: Scripts that will NEVER be made for legal reasons but which grab people's attentions.
The “Deja Vu” script: Not the Rossio/Marsilli one that sold for five million a decade ago, but an unacknowledged remake of another movie. Possibly slightly improved on, but a bit cheeky.
The “Handicapped” script: Scripts where the writer “handicaps” themselves by making the script...

At the end of the day, screenwriters are the gatekeepers. If the script fires on all or most cylinders, it's a recommend if marketed to the appropriate producers. I've recommended more concepts than scripts, mainly because the reps pushed the script prematurely, thinking the concept alone would sell the script. I don't know how often that is true, but in my limited experience concept alone did not sell the prematurely marketed script.

Looking for Black List 2005-07 scripts

Yes, you're right, my request is overly broad. The trouble is, as Mr. Cakes pointed out, there are so darn many of those 2005 Black List scripts. I have ~60 at the moment; not a bad start, but that leaves ~150 to locate. I'm missing about half of the 2006 list. 2007 is better; only a few are missing there. I'll start by poking around for those few missing 2007 scripts, then tackle the mountains of 2005 and 2006.
