Guys...it finally happened!!! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3602106/combined?mode=desktop

Friday night I finally get to meet a bunch of you people. WOOO!

Quick Q: Your favorite movie of all time? P&T

Been out of the country for a few weeks - where is everyone? How's the screenwriting going for y'all? Any major news to report out there?

TB'r Dominic Morgan in the news again! Crushing it: http://www.deadline.com/2014/06/roger-spottiswoode-hyperbaric-narco-sub/

At this rate, there will be around 70 specs sold this year.- From BL: "Sony Pictures Entertainment acquires science fiction spec script “Leviathan” written by Cole Haddon. Haddon is repped by WME and Anonymous Content. By my count, this is the 30th spec script sale of 2014. There were 53 spec script sales year-to-date in 2013."

Who's reading what? Latest round of WTF should I be reading in my downtime? Looking for new(er) material. 2013/2014. Any recommendations?

Congrats to Dominic and Matt on "The Controller"!!! http://www.tracking-board.com/the-controller-sales/

Listed on front page as a sale...Centers on a group of celebrated NASCAR drivers who use their unique expertise to aid a Nazi resistance team. Only problem is, NASCAR didn't exist until 1948. Unless this is another time loop concept.

Anybody else watch THE LANDING (was referenced in Friday's 'approved Friday post'. If not - you should contact the guy who sent the email. Just got done watching it - really a superb short.

Edge of Tomorrow is really great, original sci-fi. Highly recommend!

Congrats to Michael Perri for landing a staff writing position!

man, what happened to the spec market?

Just want some advice here. I want to upload my script, but the ending isn't quite finished as I am re-writing at the mo. Would people be interested in reading the other 80 pages if I put if up or I would lI be wasting my time? I want to upload something before a prepare to send it for script coverage in the next week.

Paradise City!!! Congrats, Sean!

What's the best pilot you've read in recent memory? The Blacklist pilot is so dang good and I dug Extant.

What are some good examples of a movie/screenplay where a character is an expert at something but had to give it up only to get dragged back to do it once again against his/her will?

And the Top 25 become the Top 10! http://www.tracking-board.com/the-launch-pad-top-10-pilots-and-writers/

Can anyone recommend an amazing Western script of the last 2-3 years that has thus far gone unproduced? It's fine if it sold, but looking for something unproduced. Best of the best only. Thanks.

Friday is here and need some reads-- any recommendations?

Wish it was good screenwriting news to report, but it is still exciting. Got word from Temple that I will be fully funded in my doctorate program this fall! Now I'll have plenty of time to hack out queries to managers lol

What are some other movies like Locke and Buried where the character is essentially in one location for the entire film?

If you are an aspiring screenwriter who wants desperately to tell the stories that pop in your head at all hours of the day, the FUCKING IGNORE all this nonsense, about what is a sale and what isn't. Jesus. The people talking about this the most, won't be around in two years. Get a bottle. Stand in a lightning storm and pray you capture it. Or just write great stuff. You do the math.
