      It was a very well done film.

  2. Need help: Can anyone tell me of a movie or tv episode scene where a judge has had to pass down a maximum sentence even when he or she didn't want to because that is what the law requires. Need some reference for a scene I'm writing.

      sbbn I was getting all into the responses and then read yours and started cracking up.

      dsjones in fact the judge is the center of this. Im trying tp pull of a sort of irony that will connect in the coming scene.

      [FOX] “Atlantis” mystery drama revolving around two estranged brothers who embark on a mission to find lost city of Atlantis using state of the art vessel.

      And Jon Farveau is directing a fantasy epic for MTV... that should be interesting

  4. Damn, one of my favorite guilty pleaures is in peril now. Fast and Furious looses one of the two people that actually matter to the franchise. R.I.P. Paul Walker.

  5. anyone recommend seeing the counselor?

      I'd recommend. I liked. I'm still thinking about things a week later (in a good way). That said, I have some questions, and there were things I maybe wasn't loving, but not to the excoriating extent many in the press seem to have not been loving. Or the dude next to my table in the Thai restaurant. Who was not loving rather loudly.

      Let me add my recommendation. McCarthy breaks all the screenwriting rules, but he can get away with it because he's Cormac McCarthy. He makes big blocks of dialogue crackle with life, where other writers would bring the show to a grinding halt. You'll be so engrossed in the interesting characters that you won't notice that they aren't doing much.

      Yes. It is being crucified in the press but time will judge it much more graciously.

  6. David Shore and Vince Gilligan collaboration? Yes please.

  7. anybody know anyone with some experrtise in law or judicial side of things? I'm trying to research more about judges and their duties, elections, etc.

      ddollar. Jaco know alot about this too?

       

      npquinn. I'm worried that spin off isnt even gonna compare to the original.

      zack, jaco was a lawyer, i believe he still may be technically. he'll probably chime in at some point here.

    4. Jaco

      Jaco

      Yes, I am a lawyer.

       

      Feel free to pm your question. Or, like the other lawyer said - start a thread in one of those thingies over on the left side of the screen.

  8. Question. Had the original iPad for four years. Going to be upgrading. Seems like the iPad mini is more portable and still great for reading. Thoughts?

    1. sbbn

      sbbn

      Everyone raves that it's great for reading screenplays BUT BUT BUT I would wait if I were you because rumor is they are coming out with iPad mini 2 later this year, significantly upgraded display and supposedly a hefty price cut. I'm going to pick up the iPad mini but I'm waiting until 2 comes out.

      I love the larger screen of the original but then I use it for writing in the park ^_^

      Or you can wait for new iPad to come out to get current iPad for cheaper (refurbished). Either way might be good idea to wait for new models to hit. Mini too small for me but as sbbn says others love it.

  9. i really want to read extant!

  10. anyone else hearing about mickey fischer and his pilot. Trying to understand how he got it in front of someone. also want to read it.

      It's called EXTANT -sounds really good. About a sci fi family drama about a couple raising a child who is AI and she's pregnant with an alien baby. Would love t read :)

      Government. Everyone's complacent so your work is rarely ever expected on time. And it's so easy that you can knock it out of the park in a few hours, casually have it trickle in during the rest of the day while spending most of your time writing/outlining. plus you can get a pension, which is cool.

  12. Hey guys. Could use your help rewiring my thought process. I have always had this fear that if I don't watch alot of TV and Movies all the time, that I will get stale in writing. Yet when I get busy that means I have to allow for writing and watching. I think in these instances I should focus more on the writing, but then I fear my writing will suffer? Thoughts? Wisdom?

      Also, stealing from novels is much easier and less noticeable. I am cannibalizing the fuck out of Raymond Chandler and I know that 90% of Hollywood won't notice. ;-)

      Read outside of your genre also. You'll be surprised by how it will spark your creativity.

      Not AS good, but pretty damn good (and different genre) is GODLESS.

  15. Anyone have recommendations on good action thrillers to read?

      MOTOR CITY by Chad St. John. Zero dialogue. Literally, zero dialogue.

  16. Hey guys. Im wondering what are some good new pilots to read. Read REM last year and loved it but have been reading features since. Any suggestions?

  17. Anyone able to get their hands on "Son of a Bitch" yet? Her twitter has some great humor. Curious to see if it translates on to the screen.

      I want to do but I doubt I ever will. JJ watermarks his things like crazy and only paper copies are on un-copyable red paper.
