Anyone see 22 Jump Street? How does it compare to 21 Jump Street?

Pretty sobering and worth a read: http://aspiringtvwriter.blogspot.com

Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily disagree with Amanda. She is right: screenwriting is an incredibly difficult, almost impossible career to achieve any kind of success in. I just think that taking career advice from someone with no actual professional screenwriting experience might not be the best way to proceed if you're serious about it. Don't let someone who doesn't really know bring you down.

I went to school with Amanda, the author, and took several screenwriting classes with her, and I'm amazed her blog continues to get as much attention as it does.
She was a pretty mediocre writer from what I remember, and obviously started the site to peddle her services as a reader. Nothing wrong with wanting to make a living off of your degree, but take her "advice" with a grain of salt. She's not a professional writer by any stretch of the imagination, and, unles...

I think by the end of watching True Detective, I will have earned 3 credits for philosophy, 3 credits for theology, and may find out who killed this woman....

Just wondering what is up with people asking for screeners for films that are currently in the theaters. I mean, can't people spend the 10 bucks and support our industry?

If you missed it, Vince Gilligan was on Charlie Rose Weds night. Nothing earth shattering but a nice interview nonetheless.

I asked him about the pilot of Breaking Bad and how people reacted to it given how much description he put in the action, which I've always read is a big no no when writing a script, and he essentially told me that people don't care what rules you break so long as what you write is good. So, go crazy people! Just write good stuff.

Any Jeff Goldsmith fans? I recently re-found this epic interview with Christopher McQuarrie. A master storyteller, even if his movies don't always work: http://ex.fm/song/5g80x/Christopher+McQuarrie+-+Valkyrie+Q&A-Jeff+Goldsmith

Speaking of walking out, I've been trying to read the books ahead of the scripts concerning certain adaptations. So I'm halfway through Ender's Game (book), and I'm surprised to say I don't think I can finish.

Good Lord, Fast & Furious 6 was simply wretched. Every line was a full-on groaner. I pity the morons that laughed along, above the howls the the damned infant on some idiot's lap. I was dying inside at the slow mental pitches to the lowest common denominators that pepper this increasingly jamoke planet. Twarn't much better when I snuck over and wasted two hours of my life in the excruciating wonderment that is Hangover III.

Did anyone see Stoker? How was it?

I am speechless. My hard drive on my laptop (where I write) fried today and I lost everything I had been writing for the last 6 months. My heart is crushed. Kids, please for the love of God, go back up your files right now.

Carson should close the loop on himself for adding Looper to his list of worst movies.

Really excited for the female expendables now that Katee Sackhoff signed on with Carano. Can't wait to see who's next. (and the script!)

As I prep for a move to LA, I'm looking for living suggestions. Thoughts? On a budget (i'm quitting my job to move), but I want to be close to the "action" and hopefully get an internship or a PA job right away. Thanks in advance!

Certain parts of North Hollywood, near Studio City, are very nice, and not too expensive. Burbank, Studio City, Sherman Oaks are all good places, though a bit on the expensive side.
I completely disagree about the "don't live in the valley" comment; it's not an ideal place if you go out a lot and want to party and all that, but, depending on what part of the valley you ultimately decide to call home, getting around really isn't that much trouble. And it's c...

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

Jeff Who Lives at Home is probably the best Duplass brother's movie thus far.

I saw it a while ago and wrote a review of it. Here's a link if you're interested: http://allenwatcheseverything.wordpress.com/2011/11/12/jeff-who-lives-at-home-2012-35/

The new Dark Knight Rises trailer - Could thst be black gate prison that Wayne is in? Wayne is also using the support of a walking cane at the start. Also didn't expect the hovercraft at the end to fit into Nolan's vision of the world.And, maybe jumping the gun here, but the"blue background" with the hooded figure on the roof of wayne manor. could it be a cameo for Robin or Nightwing. The 8 year gap would be more than enough to train a protege for Gotham(Robin) or Bludhaven(Ni...

Once Upon a Time is the best new series of the fall thus far. Also enjoyed Grimm and I'm still grasping onto Revenge and Person of Interest. Waiting for Hell on Wheels. You?

Come home from awesome trip with daughter over the weekend. Power up the laptop. Everything is great. Check a few things and leave the room for 20 minutes. Return to find: OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND. Urgh. Lost zero movie scripts as they are all on my I-Pad & In the CG Arc. All TV which I hadn't uploaded to either is gone. Every script I have been writing for the last year: Gone. 550 gigs of Comics: Gone. All lists more or less gone to current updates before 02/11. Fuck.

Does anyone else think the new Planet of the Apes trailers are really emotional?
