I don't think a episode of television has ever made me feel this emotionally numb.

The best thing you will read all day, is this, the real-life introduction of Meth into the midwest by Ton (yes!) Arnold's sister: http://www.playboy.com/playground/view/bad-bad-lori-arnold

For the sake of discussion, how would you even protect yourself against something like this? http://www.thewrap.com/elysium-director-neill-blomkamp-sony-producers-sued-copyright-infringement/

While I understand the frustration that must come with getting constantly criticized by such an established fanbase, Orci saying "As I love to say, there is a reason why I get to write the movies, and you don’t." comes off a bit douchey doesn't it? http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Star-Trek-Darkness-Writer-Bob-Orci-Kindly-Tells-Fans-F-k-Off-39385.html

They renamed 'All You Need is Kill' to "Edge of Tomorrow'? Why??
-
'Edge of Tomorrow' (aka 'All You Need is Kill') is going back for reshoots after even more rewriting? How much are you guys planning on butchering this story?

@Axalon, a toast it is. It really is a tragedy. The saddest part of all is that they bought the script for a substantial amount for a spec (which it deserved) because, I'd like to think they recognized how great it was. And then they tore it apart and renamed it! What the fuck?? Why bother even buying it - let someone who actually wants to do something in line with what they are buying pick it up.

TBers who use tablets to read scripts on (iPad, Kindle Fire, Galaxy Tab) How has your experience been with it? Does it hurt your eyes to read off something like that for extended periods of time?

What are some good examples of a movie/screenplay where a character is an expert at something but had to give it up only to get dragged back to do it once again against his/her will?

The review embargo on The Counselor is starting to worry me...

I'm a huge Fincher fan, but Gone Girl didn't blow me away. Performances were good, especially Pike and Perry. I'm not sure if it was the photography but it came off a little dull.

Copyright question for you guys. I was thinking of (loosely) basing a script on one of Isaac Asimov's short stories which is, of course, copyrighted. Anyway I can use it? I'm not planning on stelling or anything, probably just put it on YouTube.

Wow...Dexter has really fallen from grace. The past couple of seasons haven't been great, but this season is just awful. Where the hell did the writers of the first two seasons go?

The Wolverine has one of the best post-credits scenes in recent memory
-
Edge of Tomorrow is really great, original sci-fi. Highly recommend!
-
Wow, Snowpiercer really blew me away. One of the best sci-fi movies I've seen in years.

Well, can definitely see why Holland, Michigan was rated so highly on the Black List

sbbn,
Yeah, I realize that.
My understanding of the spirit of the list is:
"These are scripts around town which haven't been made but deserve another light shined on 'em toward that end."
Pre-pro since September violates that spirit, in my view.
Think of the writers out there who could have benefited from the slot instead of HM, which is clearly BEING MADE.

What are some other movies like Locke and Buried where the character is essentially in one location for the entire film?

Even if you're not a fan of biopics, this one looks like it has a story worth telling

Bad Robot just posted this video:
Any thoughts on which project it's from? -
Whoa, what happened? http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=110614

What do you think the budgetary cut off is for producing a script with unknown/relatively unknown actors? For instance 'Chronicle' was made for $12 million but didn't have any big names attached. At what point would most studios go "okay, we need an A-lister"?

The real question here is how much of the budget you have already versus how much money you need to ask for. If you have $1 million to go shoot a film with no-name actors, you can do that. However if you need a chunk of change, it's going to be a lot easier to ask for that if you have a star. Then, secondly, you have to think about what kind of distribution you want. Better distribution calls for more star power.

What are some good examples of movies/screenplays with two or three separate storylines that don't necessarily intersect?

Here's a little short film I wrote, directed and played every part in. Hope you guys like!

Say what you will about Damon Lindelof, I think he makes some good points in this: http://www.vulture.com/2013/08/script-doctor-damon-lindelof-on-blockbuster-screenwriting.html

Watching Pain & Gain is like eating five Snickers bars in a row.
