My first job was typing the scripts for General Hospital into the TelePrompTer it was fun the show was so stupid but I was a very fast typist. This was before they had everything on a computer system we had to use a giant old fashioned typewriter more like a newspaper type-setting system it was enormous and very loud they put us in a small room two of us and we had to do the whole script in two hours. I hated it because the machine was so hard to use it printed the words in GIANT SIZE TYPE so...

the actors could read the words from wherever they were on the set and the words scrolled up through the prompter at whatever speed the actor was saying them, they had another person part of the camera crew who would be responsible for making sure the dialogue scrolled upward at the right speed.

That sounds pretty cool

No. It's not safe, it's... very dangerous, be careful.

everybody needs a big brother like Roy Scheider.

Dustin Hoffman = old man crush

Anyone want to be writing buddies? I'm tedulous on the site.

just added u ted, I'm bobbylaw there 2

I'm in, though I don't know if I'm going to make 50,000 words or not. My goal is to make serious progress on my project during this month. We'll see where I end up at month's end.

When they're I'm a jam, guess what? Someone else is also in the cult! So clever.

And always figure on the FBI agents doing the stupidest thing imaginable so the bad guys get the upper hand

I loved season one but we've all got different expectations from genres. I'm aware I may be in the minority on this show

I bought the most tasty cough mixture I could find. The bottle's gone already.

Screw the honey. Straight-up whiskey.

Alas, I have a sore throat. Alcohol won't help in this case :'(

What's up, Joseph?

What the Hell you waiting for? Get back on the horse!

I'm stuck in research mode. As soon as I've finished reading every major religious text, all parts of The Canterbury Tales, Dune and Game of Thrones books, I may be ready to start working on location research.

Upload. Gratzi!

Do you have it? Would love to read it.

People have been emailing the TB listserv looking for that? I haven't noticed.

When I was younger, my dad would say stop watching tv and read a book. I told him no. Now I like books > tv. Growing older is weird.

Yeah but has your dad been watching The Night Of?

I'm not even sure my dad knows what HBO is.

Were the characters really that great in the first one either?

Comparatively they are better in the original - more developed at least. Actors with more experience helped the original too.

Agreed, I was really annoyed that the movie is nothing more than pushing an anti-gay-marriage agenda by dinosaurical allegory.

I'll have a look at that service, thanks

The Google Group (Bulletin) is not in anyway tied to the forums here. Two different beasts with two different items.

On the Google Group (Bulletin) you can set it so you receive only one email a day or no emails at all. At the top right / my settings / membership and email settings. in there you should be able to set it how you please.

I print out 90% of what I read. Can go from a warm bath to the Chinese buffet. Hmmm. Love among the TB. A case of paper. My HP laserjet. PRICELESS.

I find it much easier to read pdfs than final draft and switch between the two during edits

nope, it's the only way I can edit. Though I do print two pages of script to a page to save paper.

Yeah - I'm hyped too for Exodus. It's really good and I've been on a real Bible kick for the last year. So much terrific religious-osity out there these days...

Hey Half,

Went to a presentation of the film with an Australian film group. The film exposed a lot of Australian actors as well as the versatility of the SFX companies that are out there. Half of the budget was paid for with Australian taxes and there were a few other good reasons I can't think of right now.

To be honest, in IMax 3d, I didn't hate it at all. It was actually really cool in the moment watching with the writer/director who is a great guy.

Thanks for the perspective, Charlie Didn't even know it was Aussie. The trailer oversold for me I think.

Was also reasonably "cost-effective"

well don't undersell it! what's it called?

Nice. I swear I can hear people talking about me though. Is this live?

You must live in the provinces if you have to import what I hear on a daily basis. Wanna swap? I prefer dead calm. I've been known to wrap my skull in swaddling clothes. My head is often mistaken for a baby Jesus.

Mike, does it heal the sick though?

It's a tough choice but so far romance is winning

I can't get any writing done unless I'm single!

Holding down an unpaid development asst internship and a paid script reading job at the same time is not advisable

And FYI, Kochira, nobody listens to Dido, we HEAR her.

I haven't listened to her much since she said John Carter was gonna be huge...

TY for the laughs

saw twice...it's The Godfather 3 of superhero movies

I'll just say it - Bane is boring.

Liked it more than I didn't. Thought Bane was fantastic, undermined only by Nolan's treatment of him in the closing moments of the story. And couldn't help shake the feeling the entire time that Nolan's heart wasn't into this 100%. Felt like the cinematic equivalent of an A student hurriedly finishing an assignment the morning-of knowing that he could get a B+ by just slumming it.

I've got one more book and then I'm ready . . . almost.

Only do it when your OUTLINE is ready. You can always Google something on the fly

Totally agree on the importance of outlining, Cyber

This is character research for a manuscript and I want to have that done before the final outline.

I'm guessing you missed the point of my post then.

Subtlety is beyond me

Spidey in 3D mightttttt be worth the coin

If there was a like function, I'd be using it on that comment jms2011

Here's what I'm trying to get my head around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZM9JREjnp4/

What are books??

Awesome!

Read that in David Tennant's voice from Fright Night. Excellent. Congrats.

Ha, David Tennant rules! TY

ha, I wouldn't pause Mumford and Sons for anything (slight exaggeration)

Here's another:

Gosh. South Korea is becoming like Japan in the weirdness...But hey it's somewhat catchy...And I love that EVERYONE is wearing a "one of a kind" shirt.

My manager can press charges.

What's a manager?

Who is your manager?

I fail to get that reference. Please educate me '

He's Bansky's "protege" as brought to surreality in Exit Through the Gift Shop. And yeah...just sounds like something he'd attempt.

Looks pretty cool.

Have you checked the nearest watering hole?

The kind of joints I go to are mostly full of Joel Cairo's.

Ha!
