  1. Does anyone have an recommendations for good, recent comedy pilots? I've read Bless This Mess, Single Parents, Fat Dan The Weatherman -- just looking for a couple more good ones for a little inspiration.

      Yeah, I read them all. Hmmm... Fam was pretty good. Abby's was a little overrated, but Brothered Up was decent. I Feel Bad was probably the funniest to me.

      I think Broadcast News sucks but love As Good As It Gets from James L. Brooks.

  6. Is this site going under? Just read that the news part of TB is getting shuttered?

  7. Reviewed Reverie for my script of the month discussion. Looks like a solid summer show!

      Yes impressive Fisher got two shows on back to back like that.

  8. Only a few months late... Boy, were you guys right about The Last Jedi! WTF? Why can't anyone seem to write a smart, fun, exciting Star Wars script anymore?? None of it really makes sense and it's not even half as clever as it should be. Diminishing returns all around.

      Yeah, that Audience Score on RT is terrible. Generally the public is much more tolerant than critics.

  9. I'm looking for that one story, about that person, who does that thing, in that one place, you know which one!

  10. So what suggestions do ya all have to breathe some life back into these forums?

  11. However you felt about it, Netflix dropping a trailer for The Colverfield Paradox during the super bowl and saying it starts playing after the game is a HUGE game changer. I hope they do that every year.

      BRIGHT wasn't good but it moved the needle there.

  12. There's a lot you can learn about serialized tv writing -- and how important "incident" is -- just by reading this timeline of stuff that's happened on This is Us http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/this-is-us-chronological-timeline.html

  13. Is it weird that all the other Hit List scripts haven't leaked out to us yet?

  14. What age did you start writing? I mean actually writing scripts, in screenplay format?

  15. Fall network tv season officially starts today. I'll start a section in chit-chat in case anyone still has a TV that gets those channels.

      Have to admit I'm looking forward to THIS IS US. Need a good cry to melt my cold heart.

  16. who was it that was going to write an article about self publishing and when can I expect to read it?

      It was me. I'll get to it one of these days.

  17. Since TB Red cannot accept new private messages, who do I contact to get an okay for sharing a hot, possibly "hurt somebody's feelings" script?

  18. hateful 8 is kind of a piece of crap. i can't imagine a lot of "story" in 3 hours in a store.

      Did you even see it? Because I thought the script was pretty entertaining.

  19. So... I've been working on a side business for the past two months with my sister. We finally launched today: KismetRepublic.com

      Site looks good. I know building an ecommerce site isn't easy! Best of luck with it.

  20. So I ended up winning best comedy feature at Austin. I'm still trying to process the whole experience, but I can't say enough good things about the festival!

  21. Looking forward to digging into the Blood List scripts!

      I don't understand why the script sharing has declined. Isn't that the whole point of this forum? Has there been a problem that is causing people to think twice?

  22. Okay, I did it and I'm sorry... I should have known better. I should have used better judgement... But can I please have the hour back to my life for the time I spent reading the steaming pile of shite that is Bad Boys 3? Talk about "by the numbers"! It's like a word processor blended every dull, cliched cop-buddy script into a homogenized mush and then played Mad Libs, changing the villian's names to Albanian, etc, etc, etc... And to think Peter Craig & Davi...

  23. Saw Jurassic World then went home to rewatch Jurassic Park... JW almost ruined my childhood nostalgia with its conservative ideology

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

  24. Favorite films or scripts with just a few locations?

  25. 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.

      It seems to be used more for comedy. For other genres I would avoid.
