  1. So... I think I missed something. What happened with ScriptShadow? I've been busy with work and house buying and apparently ScriptShadow is no longer reviewing scripts...? He's received death threats from pasty-skinned writers for years. What changed this time?

      I went to SS now and then and it was good snarky analysis and some solid tips, but nothing mind blowing. I think he's blown his wad but if he can find new writers and promote never before seen scripts that people love, he may be able to rise from the ashes. I just think he didn't stick to his "brand" and it fell apart. He is not a producer, he was a script coverage guy. Now, if he worked as a development exec or as a dev coordinator and secretly worked his way up and was...

      ready to produce... then that would have been a different story. I think new writers need to be promoted and that's why I love Tracking-Board for their promotions and honesty

      huh. Interesting stuff. It will be fascinating to see where he goes from here.

  2. Stephen Gaghan wrote Call of Duty: Ghosts?? I would have bought the game anyway, but that's pretty fuckin awesome! I love that big games have been placing a lot of effort into creating compelling narratives.

      I'm actually thinking of getting a playstation just because all of the awesomeness I've been hearing about The Last of Us.

      ya im wondering if theres a way to watch this storyline without playing the game.

      I can't speak to The Last of Us, but for other games with great narrative, I agree 100% with what Fsalmon1 said: you have to play the game to really immerse yourself in the story. You become invested and its more powerful than a movie (imo) when someone you have invested hours in either dies or does something shocking. I still remember playing a war game in which the character you play spends an entire level trying to escape a town only be be blown up in an atomic blast. That doesn...

  3. Trailer for Jack Reacher looks good. Doesn't look anything like what I remember from the screenplay for One Shot...? (granted, it's been a while since I read that one).

      Ianp - yes, I agree that it does seem a bit weird to have it in there as it doesn't go with the trailer.

      title's gotta change. it sounds like gay porn.

      Title won't change and the music is trailer junk much like Looper's (although the latest trailer is good). They are doing orchestra scores this week for Jack Reacher.

  4. True Detective - thoughts on how they resolved what happened at the end of last week's episode with Farrell's character? Good, bad, meh?

      meh. Vince Vaughn still not popping yet. Collin Farell is all that's keeping me.

      Thought it was well-executed (pun intended), but would have liked to get a more direct sense of what the consequences/reasons were.

  5. Watching a show about mental health issues and emotional disorders is interesting and all but I'll admit I do miss the days when Homeland was about the CIA and espionage.

      Crap, my post got cut off but I agree Mysterian, I'd rather see the show focus on Quinn more as at this point he's far more interesting.

      I agree with you Mysterian and Axalon. I think one of the huge flaws is that the show seems to be trying to go in a different direction (Saul/Quinn) but it isn't sure what to do with Brody and so Brody ends up with a weak-ass, time-wasting story line.

      I even like Virgil and the other tech guy (don't remember his name). I find them more interesting than Brody/Carrie. I say keep Virgil/sidekick and Saul/Quinn

  6. When does the Black List come out? I thought it was supposed the be out the second Friday of this month (which was this last Fri).

      gurv, you impatient because you might have a personal project on the list?

      It's a joke anyway. Especially now that it's become some sort of paid tracking service. I know a few key industry people who think it's all a big wank.

      Monday. The TB guys & Franklin Leonard coordinate the release dates of the list each year - it's why they do not release same day.
