I read .pdf's on my iPad and it does hurt my eyes after a bit. I think it may be the brightness setting or the distance I'm holding it from my face?

I use a kindle fire and it works well for pdfs that are text rather than photocopies (if that makes sense). The photocopies are blurier so I have to turn it sideways to read it so it all works out in the end. Really like it alot.

I read scripts on my android phone (S4). Am I the only one? lol

Thanks Sbbn

I should also add that for a fair cut, I would be happy to help dig up money-filled barrels in the desert.

Better call Sbbn

Needed a big cut and the parts to remove were pretty obvious. A decent movie is hidden in there.

Typical Rossio and Elliott? The first Pirates movie puts me to sleep. SO bloated.

Outside of the photography, it's not a good movie by any stretch.

But I feel like putting out a 90ish minute version of this movie would have saved Disney a lot of headaches, not to mention money.

Amazing

i agree. it was breathtaking.

Double yes to this. Flipping incredible.

i'm going today or tomorrow. looks great.

I'm sorry, it's nothing personal.

SPOILER. I love the proud smile he has when his uncles are watching the tape of Jessie telling of how he killed a child in cold blood.

"That opie dead-eyed piece of shit"

What a great line

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

uh, Tom, not Ton

At one point he was on the verge of being Ton Arnold, but he divorced Rosanne and thus escaped that fate ...

Maybe they're butthurt that they're not getting the same level of praise/domestic box office returns that the first Star Trek did.

They're acutely aware of the criticism - if they didn't think it was true they wouldn't be responding as they are.

And how does a tie in game even remotely affect a movie? The logic there is bizarre. But at least now I know why the movie's logic was so off base.

dsjones, I'm trying to wrap my mind around what words you could possibly use that would get you a warning here. Seems like free speech is pretty well accepted 'round these parts.

words. I have a way with them. Esp. bad ones.

Dexter is a hit that went on too long for the obvious financial reasons. Nothing new here.

I shudder at the thought of Breaking Bad without an endgame.

haven't watched it in a while but i remember it being a little slow. also i hear the remake wheel is coming around and stargate may get its turn

I watched it last night for the first time in years. And while the dialogue can be cheesy and some scenes are very heavy handed, the progression of the story is terrific.

Can't believe the movie is almost 20 years old.

o shit. it's on netflix

It's about a guy who does his thing. And his family, his family's a real mess - because conflict! And there's the mob, and hookers, and crazy women everywhere and Liev! Liev Schreiber! Checks! Checks for everyone!

So I take it the show hasn't improved since the pilot?

It's a SOPRANOS in LA... I am a fan if only watching Jon Voight have a blast with a meaty and shameless character...

@jones No, not at all. Story threads get picked up and dropped at whim. I think they really thought "let's make this girl a lesbian, yeah, that'll make her interesting!". And that's pretty much all we know about her, is that she likes women and she's "tough". This can be extended to pretty much every character on the show. His wife gets super pissed at him annnnd then she's cool with everything.

I'm amazed Showtime picked up the show at a...

Can you imagine what the urine budget would be if Bay did GU3?

sanguine, upon reading your last comment I let out a hearty chuckle.

That chuckled quickly morphed into a full on laugh when I realized he actually had Bumblebee urinate on John Turturro.

I really enjoyed Pain & Gain. The Rock was great in it.

I was just thinking about that, in terms of how so many of the hits of the 80s would not even get greenlit now. So many of the pop culture "tentpoles" of the 80s were not designed as franchises, even if they did spawn sequels.

Yep, fantastic movie. One of the year's best along with BEFORE MIDNIGHT, STOKER, FRANCES HA, PLACE BEYOND THE PINES, DRUG WAR and FRUITVALE STATION. Been a good year for movies so far if you can just ignore the popcorn movies.

I just saw it this weekend. Amazing.

@ira It really sucks how all those movies you listed got completely buried under crap like R.I.P.D.

If only those movies had the advertising campaigns like the aforementioned.

Sally Field. Line 1.

I was wondering too and going to send and email in about it but... then I got lazy. Or just continued lazy.

Yep. Same here.

I really like Abrams but I feel like his whole 'mystery box' thing is starting to get a little silly.

If you really want to keep a tight lid on something just don't say anything until it's done.

It's like he's in fight club and keeps deciding to violate the first two rules.

Agree - with everyone. If you posted here, you're right.

@Axalon, your bit about fight club made me crack up. Good stuff!

@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.

All You Need Is Kill was a fantastic script... I'm wondering what they changed???

Chando, above you'll find a link to a thread where the differences between the script have been highlighted

Although to be fair, his version doesn't give Anakin much to do and does not have a satisfying climactic set piece. That Yoda-Dooku battle rocked the house in Clones.

after watching the episode I version I am actually angry at George Lucas lol

Thanks Axalon. These are great. He go it so right, it's painful to think how it went so wrong.

According to the imdbs, it's him.

is it gonna be any good?

The pilot script, if you want to check it out: http://forum.tracking-board.com/index.php?/topic/5982-la-noir-frank-darabont/

Excellent. Badger "Ever tell you about my Star Trek script....gotta write it down is all!"

The writers of Breaking Bad really know how to write stoner dialogue.

Pete's reactions were perfect too

hahaha. what a great twist. and yes the stoner dialogue is quite great

I felt his best work was dramatizing Justin Beiber's hat on Twitter.

sure he makes excuses but film is a collaborative process. when something fails it's most likely due to a lot of people's mistakes.

@dsjones... yea that end action sequence seemed out of place and unnecessary. I also hated how hard everyone was hitting each other and yet sustaining no visible damage

Really enjoyed Wolverine. The Bullet Train sequence is one of my favorite action set pieces of the summer so far. The final act definitely lost me though. It just seemed completely different tonally.

I think it suffered from "over-complicatitus," aka "Nolan wannabe disease." ;-) But I still enjoyed it. Logic issues, though.

Axalon, I get it now. I guess for years we've only seen James McAvoy as Prof X so that was a nice gift to the fans. Do we know yet why they're recruiting Wolvie?

I think Efron is a good actor, same with Gosling. Efron probably gets some shit because he's good looking and a lot of dudes are probably jealous but he works really hard and I think could pull it off.

Is it going to be a space musical? Cool.

REAL JEDI BEING. AND A HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.
