Gimme back my son!

FIREPOWER (1994):

"Screw you."

"NO, SCREW YOU"

If I told you, I'd have to kill you.

It's not illegal, but it certainly contravenes the WGA MBA.

you're right - writing them isn't illegal, but REQUIRING that violates the MBA.

Agreed!

Star Wars IS merchandising that's like going to a football game and complaining about all the players running into each other. Disney the world's biggest entertainment conglomerate didn't plunk down 4billion dollars because they are lovers of good sic fi they paid that much because Star Wars is the biggest brand on the planet.

es broma

just saw one. all too timely. you been reading my comments.. j.j.?

Roger Avary killed someone.

I've wanted to die while watching one of his movies

Something tells me that every time an Adam Sandler movie is released, the domestic violence rate goes up.

Glad your taste is so refined. Hope you enjoy whatever films meet your standards this holiday season!

yeah, there's something out there i had my eye on.

the blacklist. i got it for $10 round black friday. i for one think that's a sweet deal for 15 hours of entertainment.

rings and the cgi monsters looked like they were probably as best as they could get. not too convincing. don't know any of the actors or characters so i wouldn't have that moment where you recogize them for the first time which is the whole point of these movies. i'm more of a bring books to life kinda guy, y'know where you already know the storyline but you look to catch the differences, but again, can't do that here. i used to play hollywood stock exchange as a kid so th...

this was a long time ago and i'm surprised that's still a thing, but it seems like something i would of bought. i wasn't very good at it, so i don't know if that's any indicator of if everybody will like it. probably will crush over in china. overall, i think i could settle into it. the trailer didn't overload you with a whole lotta action, so it looks like they're trying to invest in the story. i'd say seems cool.

I played a lot back in the day, from 04-08 or so. It has a huge built-in audience. Probably 20-40 million subscribers since 2004. Even more that play other MMOs and RPGs. I'd bet on it pulling in big $$. Skyrim, Runescape, Everquest, lots of potential worlds out there if this one does well.

I'm polishing it up for a staged reading the Austin is hosting this Saturday, so I'd like to wait before circulating it. But I appreciate the interest!

and we appreciate you telling us about it. hope it wins nw.

Hope it wins, Paul. It sounds intriguing!

Mud (a little bit)

Donnie Brasco

great tripped me out!

Short sleeves here in GA!

Actually, Winter is Coming.

Crack, I appreciate the Blazing Saddles reference.

Yes good specs are on their way!!

I've never used a reader. I have friends who read my scripts (and I read theirs in return). I'd advise against paying readers generally, but if a writer feels the need to get feedback, she should get it from a pro with film/TV credits.

Also, if you're able to get it into a prodco, it'll be judged against whatever else is circulating within that genre, so that's another reason for at some point to get professional perspective, whether friends in the biz or if you have to pay for it.

I chose a reader who was recommended by a trusted producer friend. Worth the critique thousand times over.

He could rock it with the best of them. He could drop soul second to none. He could funk you up! A truly talented m****rf****r.

Just watched his New Girl episode the other day So sad. One of a kind talent.

SNL Prince tribute tonight. And just about every radio station...

Why did you write a script in Spanish? Is it a feature, a short, a pilot?

TB can cover all your coverage needs in French, Spanish, Mandarin & English.

Wow, awesome.

yes...Ive read the books and I think Stoll (OC!!!!), Maestro and everyone cast so far would be my top choices for the characters. I'm going to re-read the books again. I can't freaking wait!

I actually was surprised by Hurt and Stoll casting wise - Eph isn't bald in the series - but having seen Stoll in House of Cards, I think he'll make a great Eph. Now it's time to cast Eldrich Palmer and Vasili...

Can't wait to see the design for The Master. Think they'll wait until the end of Season One to reveal him?

it'll come back around. i was out of work for almost three months, looking daily for a job until this came up. if you're the type of person who can do it, lowering your expectations sometimes is the only way to go.

On the upside... you're going to get a chance to see a lot of characters in that job!

That would be true... You know I just got an interview request to work at our rivals. Such sweet satire.

Everyone in the world owes Matt Damon an apology. My god, Effie is obnoxious.

she's like i went up to him all excited for a pat on the head because i told him he could get the stunt as he wanted it, but he didn't thank me. seems a little insecure like that's supposed to make you a good producer? then he's like you told me i could have the stunt as i wanted and she's like nononono. it's a mess. she ruined the movie. he's probably already thrown in the towel like whatever i'll just finish it, who gives a shit.

She says, Everybody likes working with me. Uhh, no they don't...they're just afraid to say anything to you! More than a little insecure, she comes off like she's always on the verge of a breakdown. Even when she smiles, she has two speeds: panic and rage. I thought Jason was spoiled at first, and maybe he is, but at least he gets along with most everyone. I love the First AD - he's the kind of unflappable guy you want in your corner.

jersey shore + coneheads perhaps? i think it's funny

Some rough notes.

nice!

the access to material here is pretty unparalleled.

is there anything better out there

It's like "2001" meets "2012"...but with more action!

LOL

Just write it, rather than write ABOUT it. You'll be glad you did. My $.02.

yup

are they real sales or dollar options?

i have no fucking clue

What do you like to write?

if you want to talk about it we can do pm, but i like tarantino style killing, comedy is something i want to take a shot at, some sci-fi, horror, but it all starts with a dialog.

Lol. Brilliant. As is his essay on Walt Whitman: http://www.marcofolio.net/images/stories/fun/imagedump/smartass/smart_essay_1.4.jpg

well i'll throw this out there. chance you'll catch it. Showrunners: The Art of Running a TV Show

I always love a good underdog story.
