Mr Cakes

I really liked it, too.

Me three.

I figured it was a few days delay but... here we are and I don't know what's going on.

Are the admins deleting posts?

100% agree, great read.

WWZ ended too early. An extra 25 min. could've been added, I think. It picks up in the 2nd half for me. Drew Goddard and Damon Lindelof did a good job.

I've seen three incarnations of it. The released one made me want to die less than the previous two.

high praise. We'll see how the BO treats it.

that page is so fine it makes me want to walk in front of a moving bus. in a good way.

It's official. I'm adding "tastiest page" to the 2014 Cakes List.

I don't have issue with remakes (as comments I've made elsewhere will attest) but that aside, the trailers just did nothing for me. Can't say I'm surprised to hear the movie turned out to be as exciting as the trailer.

I always love a good "Sid and Nancy" reference.

I didn't know he was behind me. But I had made the decision to leave and I wasn't about to stop.

I can't read that without laughing (I had to look up Burke and Hare).

Most of the audience I was with laughed all the way through The Heat. I liked it.

I'm sorry, I was asked not to share this on the boards.

What you gonna do?

Could be worse...you could have read the new Twilight book Stephanie Meyer "wrote."

I confess I didn't read or watch enough this past year to be able to make even a comparable list.

over 400 views now...

Saw the Deadline article. Reading it now...

What did you think? This, and (our site favorite) PADRE would make one heck of a double-feature!

That's wicked sankofa... I work at a printing plant and I don't even print scripts out, unless it's my own work.

PDF Expert on iPad. Hands down the best for reading and making notes. Def worth the money.

well they don't check what gets printed they only comment when the printing output is larger than usual and it's per quarter..and i rarely print things out in color, okay I DO...but not much...so i get away with it...but i've been doing it less often now that i'm writing my own stuff and haven't had much time for reading (ill be doing that when i'm off from work the next few days i'm re-reading The Silver Linings Playbook, re-watching and reading House At The End O...

So many great examples of smart screenwriting are peppered throughout.

My favorite of 2014.

Thanks for this reccomendation Cakes. Saw it, loved it and have been turning people onto it. What an awesome flick. THANK YOU!!

I've been trying to find a script for Lenny for over a year-- he is a master.

Agreed. Best movie I've seen all year. What a wonderful adaptation.

Daccord, Mr. Cakes. I went with my dad too.

Better to ask for forgiveness than permission - words to live by.

You post it?

yup. just now.

I was waiting for a final twist that never came.

Never found a copy....

SPOILER ALERT...LOGLINE: When a game of I'll-talk-you-to-death, amongst a group of old West degenerates reaches a stalemate, they all shoot each other.

benskelly2 - yes, I agree, but isn't the 70's era you highlight a product of a unique time period where maverick independent filmmakers were able to work within the studio system ($) and still make it THEIR WAY with vision and daring do, rather than the mush-machine Playdoh Pumper #9 we suffer through now?

My goodness, I love the vitality and passion of this site.

Very true, Mr. Cakes! Your description of what made the 70's great (maverick talent given the big train set and left alone) is spot-on. Well said. Maybe if film gets as democratized as it seems to be heading and overrun with

"amatuers", studios will start trusting and valuing talent again over familiarity and number crunching.

I left a bit of a ramble in there..

and not one of 'em looks like a stinkin' Camry.

This list is suspect. A Wrangler is associated with Clueless and where the eff is the 1982 Light Cycle??

No, it isn't.

Excellent debate.

Not to blame marketing, but the TV promos I saw didn't exactly scream "must see." The first Reacher didn't grab me but happy to see a big production support Pittsburgh's industry.

I wonder how much of this is the result of people reviewing scripts like Script Shadow and how much of it is from people just plain bashing scripts like the TMNT reboot.

At least Script Shadow provides feedback and constructive criticism on the material he reviews.

"Old" is right. I remember reading a similar article 13 years ago about how M. Night Shyamalan and his scripts were so hot that he would have a courier deliver them to studio executives to read with a time limit and have the courier wait there until the executive was done and then immediately bring the script back to him.

that's an old draft...

please share a newer one.
