Big weekend for Scotland. New Nessie pics and Andy Murray takes the gold.
-
A 1/3 of all US movie ticket buyers have dropped off the grid this weekend? Anyone here actually planning on seeing anything?
-
Anyone else watching the Olympics and finding the primetime show adverts more embarrassing than usual?
-
Anyone else disturbed that scientists have Frankensteined a jellyfish out of rat muscle? I know this movie never ends well.

It's really disturbing that the people in the theater shooting in Colorado thought the gunman was part of the marketing.

Favorite script typo of the week: "the cat that ate the cannery". Now, I want to see that movie.

I like the idea that somewhere Stephen Sommers is sitting with his feet propped up drinking a mai tai.

The first film tested really well. Unfortunately for Sommers the phrase "tested better than both Transformer movies combined" got repeated a lot. Suddenly, a rumor appears on Don Murphy's message board that Sommers has been fired and the film is a disaster. It all played out so publicly it was kind of amazing. I've never seen a studio work so hard to sabotage a film in the home stretch.

Reading the WGA press release about the deal with Amazon Studios. It had this phrase: "plant our flag in that rich and amorphous land called new media." Sometimes it's easy to hate writers.

It might help if the WGA were to acknowledge that the amorphous "new media" realm has come a long way since the strike FIVE YEARS AGO. You know, to actually try to fight the studios (and other companies, like Amazon, Netflix, whoever) from treating creatives like slave labor because, "no one knows how to make a profit yet from the internet space." Apparently, all of those ads on Hulu, Youtube, and every other streaming site are purchased with sawdust and dreams.

It's that time of the year. Have the readers for Nicholl managed to reach the $25 mark this time around?
-
I got a job offer from Amazon Studios. Debating.

How low-budget/cheap is Soderbergh's Bitter Pill? The crew can't use overnight Fed-Ex and have to use three day delivery.
-
Just read a script where the writer spellchecked the word "prodigies" into "porridges". The word "porridges" is now in the title.

A guy bumped my chair in a restaurant today and lifted my laptop case without me noticing. It ended up in lost and found when all he found were scripts inside.
-
My work Acrobat is stuck at 3200%. I can see one word which offers a new script screening method. PROOF – consider, THINKING – pass, COOKIE – recommend.
-
And Hollywood is burning. A friend's car was torched last night in one of the dozen fires that were set. Love Street House looks gutted.
-
Third person I know who saw the movie last week just compared "Dragon Tattoo" to "Criminal Minds".
-
One of the worst scenes to find in a reshoot? The SUMMATION SCENE where one actor explains to another actor the previous 100 minutes because the movie makes no sense.

Seen Kevin Smith's "Red State?" The long epilogue, aka "John Goodman explains what happened in the climax," felt like Kevin Smith was trying to do the Coen Bros. (e.g., ending of No Country). It was awkward. But if this film is Smith's transition into challenging himself to do more complex films, then it's a nice start.

Let's not forget the psychiatrist in Psycho.
And while we're at it, let's honor TV's mini-version of this scene, which usually begins with the crusty police boss saying, "Let me get this straight. You're tell me a dead body/pound of heroin/bag of gold was found in a school locker/deserted warehouse/clown's anus etc."

Finally got around to reading the legal filing for the "Drive" isn't "Fast and Furious" false advertising lawsuit. I'd love to see what would happen if she won. http://media.cleveland.com/ent_impact_movies/other/FDAmend1pt1.pdf
