Cyber Hater

Saw it today. Loved it. A lot of American cars in the movie. I love American cars.

Saw it again today. Dare I say: instant-classic? Btw Cranston rocked!

It was very good.

Hints of Mann, De Palma, Hillcoat, Soderberg, Hill, Andrew Dominik etc...

Fair idea. But I have a lot of pre-existing films go use as visual paradigms

I uploaded the script for The Artist awhile back. It comes in at 42 pages but it's kind of cheat with no dialogue.

Good shit

Anyone fancy sharing it?

Would be reviewing If I Stay, but i'm 45 in and it's super mleh. Need a big turn around to see if I should...

Seriously. Could you take any longer. I am wondering if I should bother reading this thing at this point. It's kinda bulky.

@BoyNo: it's a personal challenge to read & review this...and it is bulky. Been busy with fam in town at Ritz, then i've been outlining my next script. Haven't read shit but the Hollywood Reporter in a cab home. Going to read & review thurs morn 100%

only if it adds in the telling of the story.

Agreed. I mean if you want to show any conceits or special setpieces that drive the story and show the world or characters you've created. I was sitting in a studio exec's office and he was showing me some comic panels for a movie and it didn't add anything - but I saw some panels that had so much heart and action in them yesterday, I was like "wow, that rocks..."

As far as my question goes, Nate at the ** answered it with this: http://mysterymanonfilm.blogspot.com/2008/02/examples-of-cinematic-storytelling.html

As far as storyboards -- I storyboard EVERYTHING I'm gonna shoot. Have an amazing artist I work with...

Thanks for the replies tho guys

Nice!

Only tweet of the day! Next to a question he JUST answered...

@Jiblings: Hell yeah!

Awesome, man, just awesome.

yep

Ditto!

He was one of my favorites. Just awesome to watch.

I liked it

Do not ever take his advise. He is a Script Nazi. Also, you seriously have to get over the GOT obsession. It's getting seriously disturbing at this point.

*Note: I have had to deal with this in personal e-mail as well.

@ BoyNo: Spending Sat/Sun reading the next G.O.T. book, so go watch "Split Second" somewhere and recite the god awful dialogue verbatim :-D

@ Red: The writing in "Grand Piano" is CRISP. Story is telegraphed a MILE AWAY. If u have half a brain u'll figure the movie out 25min in -- suffers from lack of story... I literally had to stop at page 90 and skip to last 5 pages cause I had to make sure it was as lame an ending as i expected.

Nope. I just hate the guy. He pontificates his point in the worst possible way to anyone that isn't as anal retentive as he is. There is a huge difference between sharing what you have learned and shoving it down people's throats. Every last thing he ever wrote feels like a sermon to me.

But.... This is just my opinion. I am much more focused on intent when reviewing anything. As such I am less likely to bash the crap out of something with minor fixable issues. Something h...

e clearly doesn't get the grasp of despite proclaiming everything a work-in-progress at the beginning of his reviews.

+1 BoyNo

Iller! To put it bluntly: it's "The Sopranos" meets "Lord of the Rings"...on crack! Soooooooo GOOD. There's nothing to hate...except for The Lannister's!

Ok... you've sold me. Moved to the top of the pile.

Best show out!

Read all the books a few years back. Took a couple hundred pages to get all the names/plots straight but once I did I was hooked. Feels odd to say but give it a couple hundred pages...it's worth it!

Cardney: Well i figure since I've seen season 1 and read Wikipedia overview I have all the major beats/twists/etc -- so it's easier to go into 2nd book w/out having read the 1st. Had debate with female worker in Barnes & Noble about my view on jumping str8 into 2nd book, but after 3min of rationality being slung by moi she conceeded that I was correct in jumping str8 into "A Clash of Kings"... Now gonna marathon "The Killing" this week so I can be fully caught up

Never thought Sean Bean would be play a truly sympathetic character...I was wrong

I absolutely loved the movie. Thinking about seeing it again on Tuesday.

Great movie. I went to school five minutes from where they filmed, but I had long since graduated when production started.

Thinking of taking my girl this week -- good movie "experience"

Just went down to 96 due to QuickFlix's review. While that was bound to happen at some point, a lower RT rating isn't going to stop me from seeing this. Still excited.

It's back up to 975 lol.

Sorry I meant % not five lol. The score is out too today on Amazon as MP3 downloads.

Wasting your time. Watch 'Hudson Hawk'. Sorted.

+1 on the Hudson Hawk and I will add a Thomas Crown Affair to the mix.

Lol -- they're in the cue...

Np

Trailer makes it look promising... Reading the script was sadly a bit of a letdown... Now I know there's nothing beyond those trailer moments except loads and loads of exposition.

Yeah script wasn't like "omg" but show will be a ghetto "Dark Knight" lol

He was surpassingly good...with a bad (bad meaning bad) monologue seen in the trailer.

Frida Pinto is literally the only reason to care about this movie in my parts.

she has a body double who gets buck-ed naked -- WOW!

Like what?

Because he's aged to awesome now?

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

Didn't anyone see "Bronson"? Albeit his new one "Warrior" is suspect, "Bronson" is like "Clockwork Orange" for thugs...

@BoyNo: to quote the late/great ODB "I'm the Osiris of this shit..." And what I'm saying , I saw a flick of Hardy recently and he looks JACKED -- like ripped! Bald head, whole nine. Dude's gonna KILL "Dark Knight Rises"!
