  1. Just finished reading The End. Very interesting, definitely see why it landed so high...

      Agree - one of my favorite reads of the year... but also one of those films I don't see making all that much money, regardless of cast.

    2. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      Sure. I think it would make maybe 20 mil? Like I said in my mini review, I liked the way he wrote it MOST of the time :D

  2. Got most of my work done already. Back to my black list blitz :D

  3. Looking for some recommendations please. I'm looking for scripts that are Action/Comedy that are like Get Smart or Knight and Day. Suggestions please?

      Brick vs. Stone. A little ridiculous but fun.

  4. Sherlock Holmes 2: One of the best movies I've seen all year. Only one that has beaten it was Midnight in Paris.

  5. For those reading the black list, Beyond The Pale is not a first thing in the morning script...

  6. Hey to answer your question, the sexiest script I ever read was Better Living Through Chemistry. Not sure if anyone answered your question.

  7. Just left the first six minutes of Dark Knight Rises. Oh my...

      Dug it! But that better not be the final mix on Bane's audio! Couldn't understand jack of what he was saying.

    2. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      That's what all of us said as we left. I'm sure they're more than aware of the issue. As I left I asked "Is Bane gonna get subtitles?"

      Big Nolan fan, but his track record with sound design leads me to fear that Bane's voice won't be altered that much at all, and somehow these choices are all part of Nolan's aesthetic (see Watanabe's sometimes-hard-to-understand accent in 'Inception' smothered in booming score; And ditto for the Scarecrow in Batman Begins)

  8. Reading When The Street Lights Go On. REALLY good 57 pages in..Updating member reviews all day...

    1. tbblue

      I love love love that script. The ending is killer and so emotional.

    2. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      Couldn't agree more. It's just crazy, because I thought things were over at page 80, but nope. One more shock.

      What I'm most amazed of is that melancholy vibe... feels something like The Wonder Years or Stand By Me... or even The Virgin Suicides.

  9. Running through the black list making mean commentary with writing partner: "Okay, what's next...Jurassic Park...Wait, Jurassic Park!?"

      maybe just "angspiration"

    3. lauriestark

      lauriestark

      which autocorrect just changed to "angus pirating" which is also going in my vocab.

    4. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      LOL. Thank you for that Laurie :D. I think everyone can relate to using a little angerspiration.

  10. Glad to see a few scripts I reviewed were on the list. Time to get bustin on some of the lesser heards...

  11. Didn't flip for Sad Jake, but someone did I guess...OH WELL, GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!

  12. Script I didn't flip for - I Hope We Can Still Be Friends. Such an awesome premise that was poorly executed and a female character that felt waaaayyy too much like a dude.

    1. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      Also The Field. Was just hoping for much more than what it ended up being.

  13. Finally saw Drive. Was at first annoyed at the pacing, turned out quite good. Downloading soundtrack...NOW.

      This + The Contagion soundtrack are soooooo good.

      Drive was the best film of the year...

    3. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      I'll get on that Red. Call me old fashioned Cyber, but so far I would say the best film of the year is Midnight in Paris :D.

  14. Just found out a script i spent the last 6 months working on sounds a lot like something that sold in January. Pacing the room...

      Ugh. Happened to me with "Swing Vote" and "Balls of Fury."

    3. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      Really? Balls of Fury? That sucks dude......maybe just change the sport? Like to Curling?

      Just had the same experience where my reps are discouraging me to spec a script that I had been developing for six months.Frustrating!Maybe I need to turn it into a novel...

       

  15. After hearing a large chunk of the message board rave, I just go the first season of Breaking Bad. Here we go!

      ... you'd better order the next season now then, you'll be annoyed having to wait!

      Killed it in a day. Started season 2 today.

  16. Just finished Chris Borrelli's "Sad Jack." Not sure what to make of it. Amazing tone. Feels like "Snatch" meets "Leon: The Professional." Wouldn't know how to review it, but it was good writing for sure.

      In regards to the terrible title, when our CE told me about this one, I passed on it from hearing the title alone. It wasn't until later in the day I realized Borelli wrote it. Who the hell would chose that title. It sounds like the movie Ben Stiller made in "Tropic Thunder"... which I'm surprised no one has tried to make yet.

    3. Nic.Lishko

      What's a CE Red? I'll be the noob and ask.

      "I've been a bad, bad boy Father..."

  17. Bitter Script Reader hit the nail on the friggin head today. Gives us unsigned folks some hope :).

  18. General Question: How did AMC go from "The obscure old movie channel" to the powerhouse that it is for TV?

      I haven't seen Mad Men, but I do enjoy The Walking Dead. Hell on Wheels is the best new show of 2011. End of story. :D

    3. storymaps99

      storymaps99

      Don't forget Breaking Bad, their second benchmark series that really helped take up the torch after Mad Men paved the way.

    4. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      Just got the first season. I'll get right on it :P

  19. Just read The Field. Very interesting horror/thriller spec. It's worth checking out, but it starts rough.

      Nice! Always love hearing the recommendations - trims my read pile, and adds some quality to the top. Thanks!

    2. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      Happy to oblige! I've on to MailMen, should have that done soon...

    3. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      Which I just finished. It had great dialogue and clever situations, but mostly felt like a first draft with lots that could be cut so it's a pass.

  20. Enjoying a MST3K marathon. You are the Pumaman!

  21. Intrigued by Hell on Wheels. Looking forward to more.

      Tried one episode of Empire. Not for me I don't think.

  22. Awesome music video. Great song as well!

  23. Once Upon a Time is the best new series of the fall thus far. Also enjoyed Grimm and I'm still grasping onto Revenge and Person of Interest. Waiting for Hell on Wheels. You?

      I hear ya. I just know that the torrenting/demonoid/icefilms/megashares stuff is frowed upon, so I was trying to point them out...

    4. Nic.Lishko

      Nic.Lishko

      to NOT point them out. Whoops. I guess I did.
