  1. My sister got the job on Twin Peaks! It's a dream job for her, since we've been huge David Lynch fans since we were young.

  2. Wow. Things REALLY HAVE slowed down / tightened up 'round here. Is the golden age of "sharing" over?

      Yeah, I was just thinking it might not be worth it to renew my membership due to the lack of updates/ specs. Met some nice people here though.

  3. Looks like I made the first cut for this year's Nicholl.

      Thanks. I'm trying to decide if I feel relieved or more anxious because of it.

  4. True Detective season 2: ugh.

      Poor season two never stood a chance. Hell, season one didn't even live up the the expectations we set for it if memory serves as to how angry people were at the finale.

I have been working on this script for years and did my research before the documentary came out.

      No worries; I know how heartbreaking this must be for you. Like losing a child.

      I was thinking about RTS when I read about that sale. I was sorry to find out it wasn't you. But it's still a solid sample of your writing ability.

  7. A few episodes into Sense8 and compelled to watch more, though I can't explain why. Anyone else hooked? Payoff(s) worth the investment?

      Especially since Orange/ Black just came out. Sense8 is now firmly on the backburner while I work my way through Orange.

      My wife and I are about halfway through and I keep waiting for the story to kick in. Yet still keep watching for some reason.

  9. so i just got a review gushing about the script on every level. Still a double consider. Don't know what else can be done.

      I view readers like a roll on the roulette wheel; it's completely chance that their tastes coincide with the number you picked out when you wrote your screenplay. But hey, sometimes we get lucky.

      I know the feeling. Got a double consider then did the exact changes they suggest and then got the EXACT same score. Like it was just a copy/ paste. Really infuriating.

  11. Where do we stand as group on referencing actors in a script's character descriptions? (i.e. Think: Jennifer Lawrence, Beauty & The Beasts) Weigh in.

      Wait, found the direct quote from the script: "The Greek warrior removes his helmet, revealing himself to be none other than Sean Connery, or an actor of equal but cheaper stature."

      If memory serves, Sean Connery ended up in Time Bandits because Gilliam wrote "a Sean Connery-like character" in the script.

      I assume you're referencing Nightcrawler? Between him and Jake my skin was indeed crawling.

  19. Best soundtracks for writing action adventure?

    1. mister_7

      mister_7

      Who needs a soundtrack when you can just put Eye of the Tiger on continual loop? Then writing the whole script will be just like one training montage.

  20. My latest action thriller, Kennedy Space Center, is going out. Wish me luck!

  21. Chrome Users: If PDF files are opening in a new tab instead of Acrobat, type "Chrome:Plugins" into browser and disable Chrome PDF Viewer. Just started happening to me and was uber annoying.

      Thank Jebus you said that. Been annoying me like I can't explain.

  22. What did everyone think of the Sin City: A Dame to Kill for trailer? I wasn't sure about the music. The trailer itself seemed okay, but its early days, and I have have high expectations for it considering how much I loved the first one. Did Miller write the script himself or was RR involved? I know Monaghan did a draft. After the Spirit, I'd worry if It was just Miller writing.

      I think if you think Mickey Rourke ever drinks water then I have a bridge to sell you.

      Loved, LOVED, the first one and am holding cautious hope for the sequel. But I am getting the feeling like it's an out of shape jock putting on his high school uniform to attend a reunion though it doesn't fit anymore.

  24. I'm looking for great chemistry romantic meet up scenes between characters not comedy- ala the Adjustment Bureau scene in the bathroom with Damon and Emily Blunt. Any suggestions?
