DSJones - With film school you're essentially paying to get access to equipment and people to help you film.
If you already have access to that stuff, you don't need it. As someone mentioned earlier, you can learn *a lot* on your own. If you have the will to make something good, you'll learn what you need to learn along the way. Making anything is the best way to learn in this industry I feel.
I also know people who went to film school that don't know the...

I bought 2 reviews. Both came in at a 7 (with subcategories rated as high as 9) and both had some food for thought in the notes section. One review however had some accuracy issues (e.g. wrong locations). I complained and they offered a free replacement. Big, big mistake. That review came in at 5, thus sending a shiv into my overall rating.

I like reading other members comments on movies because it gives me a better sense of whether I would like the movie than other reviews. The comments about the flashbacks are interesting to hear.

Thank you to whoever recommended Bloodline!

Prisoners comes out tomorrow. Should I read the script then see the movie or vice versa?

We should keep in mind what all of these movies are really about: running. Lots of running. http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2013/12/lord_of_the_rings_running_supercut_to_celebrate_the_hobbit_the_desolation.html

Slate probably came the closest with their LotR/Hobbit "running supercut": http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2013/12/lord_of_the_rings_running_supercut_to_celebrate_the_hobbit_the_desolation.html

A lot of people really liked the passengers script (myself included). Nerdwriter has a very interesting take.

If I had a dollar for every time I bought a book instead of writing... I'd be able to buy a lot more books
