  1. General question for the entire group...have a pilot script and a feature film I'm planning on starting and want to know which one you think would be the best one to start with? What works the best as far as querying agents, a feature or a pilot?

  2. Our Fantasy (American) Football league unofficially is up to 11 teams with more slots available. Learn more: https://yho.com/nfl?l=17911&k=5087813d1927a800&ikey=e62a8565a752325d

  6. Oh man, MR. ROBOT officially has jumped the shark. Increasingly uneven and increasingly disappointing.

      I wouldn't rank this anywhere near Breaking Bad. And the whole "Luke I'm your father"/"Ewww I'm your sister"/figment of his imagination stuff is not original/groundbreaking. Again, loved the concept, weakening execution.

      I loved the concept and acting, but plot points gone wild and nonsensical for me.

  8. Man, nothing gets me more pumped then a chatroom Friday!!

  9. My sister got the job on Twin Peaks! It's a dream job for her, since we've been huge David Lynch fans since we were young.

  10. Football season is almost here! The Tracking Board league will continue in its 3rd yr under new leadership - Reader George is the new commish. We still have spots open. Here's the link http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/league/trackingboard

  11. So do we want to try for a Friday chat again?

  12. Saw this on medium. If you never heard his speech, read this. If you have, read it anyways. Good inspiration for a good work ethic. https://medium.com/p/4af580c2e0b7

  13. My sister just got a call back from Twin Peaks to work as 2nd set custumer. Fingers crossed she gets the gig. She finds out next week.

  16. Looks like I made the first cut for this year's Nicholl.

  17. And for today's incongruity: A 15-mile cycling trek results in craving for a good cigar.

  18. Any recommendations on a books or website that helps with the modern day blueprint of screenplays. I used to write comedies, but have transitioned to TV Dramas. However I have a drama Idea for a feature and would like to get reacquainted with screenplay structure as it looks today.

      "Dr. Format" regularly updates his Screenwriter's Bible. You could start there and deviate when applicable, a la Gilroy's brilliant NIGHTCRAWLER.

  19. A few episodes into Sense8 and compelled to watch more, though I can't explain why. Anyone else hooked? Payoff(s) worth the investment?

      Thanks, TB community. Your comments were spot on.

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

  21. so i just got a review gushing about the script on every level. Still a double consider. Don't know what else can be done.

      (cont'd) ..which is why I say coverage is something that helps producers make business decisions. Not necessarily a judgment on quality of a given work.

      To clarify, your "double consider" was for writer and concept? Or you just got a consider twice on different versions? I've made enthusiastic recommends but the prodco just wasn't into those types of stories.

  23. Do any of you writers use outlining software, or do you typically just stick with Word?

    1. Reader George

      Reader George

      I've been using Scrivener more and more for outlining. Also it helps for organizing blog posts.

  24. Crime Drama Screenplays: Doing early work on a crime drama idea (movie) and I'm looking for great crime drama screenplays. I don't care if they're recent or not. Also doing a "genre study" of sorts too. So, favorite crime drama screenplays and movies. Go! :)

      L.A. Confidential. Also, Truby's crime audio course is a good reference base for analysis.
