Yeah it's a bit of a mixed bag. The tips are useful but nothing you haven't heard before. It's better than I thought it would be.

Wasn't for me.

Thanks for all the thoughts! I think I'll hold off...

6pm PST I'll be lurkin'.

Noonish PST is good for me.

I should be able to jump in earlier than noon as well...

Stop pretending - who wouldn't want to be a pubic finger?!

Pubic Finger would be a great name for a band.

A new perspective on giving someone the finger.

Nice one, Cosmo.

Anyone know what became of the writer's script from the link Cosmo posted?

My fave: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2009/09/i_will_not_read.php

Oh, man. Wish I could be there!

Great, now Coz knows about it...

Wish I was able to make it. Next time in town though I'd like to set up drinks with those who are available!

This kind of makes me want to hold a football for you.

I'm really gonna kick the football!

.....

AAUUUGGGHHHHH!!

WOMP.

BOOGIE TRANSYLVANIA NIGHTS. Shit, I'd watch that.

GRIM NIGHT is family-oriented and sold for mid-6 if I recall.

STRANGERS 2 is a great read as well - no idea why they haven't made it yet...

Thanks peeps! I just rewatched Sinister for the 3rd time. Such an excellent flick.

keep it up!

get r dun

Thanks everyone!

Had it the day after Christmas, thought I was gonna die.Man, and the dreams I was having.scary stuff.

Don't have it. Don't believe in being sick... well, physically, anyway.

I think I caught it replying to some of these threads.

well done yourselves.

Congrats writers - awesome to see your names on the list. Hope to see some of you on the Blacklist too.

Well done all. Maybe see your names Monday!

I wish Phoenix has a film presence of any kind...Doing the little film festivals that come around have actually been pretty helpful. We took 9th out of 66th with this pup:

there's a 24 hour one coming up in a few months...

Certain parts of North Hollywood, near Studio City, are very nice, and not too expensive. Burbank, Studio City, Sherman Oaks are all good places, though a bit on the expensive side.

I completely disagree about the "don't live in the valley" comment; it's not an ideal place if you go out a lot and want to party and all that, but, depending on what part of the valley you ultimately decide to call home, getting around really isn't that much trouble. And it's c...

*cheap. It's cheap.

When the time comes for me to move, trust me, I will have ZERO problem doing unpaid internships Thanks for the comments thus far!

so you're not even in LA and complaining about trying to find a job here??

Please tell me where I'm complaining. I'm not. I'm asking a question, trying to start a discussion, looking for answers to an inquiry. That is all.

Still, seems a little odd, esp. since TS3 wrapped up the whole thing so well.

Aw come on Boy. I'm a puritan. I can't take any movie series past a third. Money talks, I know. I know.

Seems silly artisically to go further. tbh I thought pt 3 hit a lot of the same notes as the previous two.

Sure Nomad, I'll take a look

Thought EXP was an enjoyable read.

Thanks, mebishop! Appreciate the kind words.

Tell me more Elliot. How do you really feel ?

Lol, I'm sure it's a debate due to run shortly on Scriptshadow.

And thus the place where I heard the most about heat being generated.

Well stated. I did read your review and saw your reference to "Equilibrium" and thought to myself, "I didn't like that script either," so you're correct. Dystopian future projects can be a tough sell for me.

Didn't like script was waaaaaaay too predictable and stopped by page 32... Sorry Charlie -- the Script Nazi has struck again...

Gah! Struck down again....

Thanks people. My goal is to really ensure that I'll get some sort of work when I get to town so that I can pay for rent whilst writing and hopefully making connects. Any help is definitely appreciated and I'll keep asking questions in the coming weeks!

Register with Central right away when you get to LA. You need to make an appointment, and check their website to make sure you bring the proper paperwork to your appointment. Then, be vigilant about calling the line several times a day to find out what's shooting for your demographic. You might also consider a calling service, but be careful; there are a lot of scams. It's not a great way to make a living, but it's money, and it's a great way to get on set and see how various...

Which is exactly what I want (how often will they need 6'4" guys? ). I want to work right away, as long as it is industry related for absolute sure. Don't want to get scammed. Thanks for all of that information !

Yeah, I pretty much write it scene by summary scene until about 3/4th's of the way through. YOU CHOSE...WISELY.

Have you read Our Name is Adam? I got through the first act, and found it's impossible not to picture Tom Cruise murdering the role since it's so wrong for him. I could be wrong, but it seems like more of a Bill Murray or Bradley Cooper role.

I have not yet Dan, but I'll definitely check it out!

I trust Nolan. He gave The Joker, Scarecrow, Ras Al Ghul and Two-Face such interesting interpretations that I have faith he'll do something great with Bane and Catwoman. It likely won't be an obvious choice -- but one that embodies pathos and something darker. I can't wait!

I'm betting that Nolan and Goyer used or were influenced by "Dark Victory". Jeph Loeb wrote a terrific Selina/Catwoman story.

I was talking to my roomate about it. We agreed that if this somehow turned out to be Hush the Movie, it would be amazing.

Charlie Brown, how you doin'!? Good to see you still here - I'm back after a long hiatus, though I'm still focusing on some other things right now, and will be for the next several months, but at least I'm back as a browser, a TB voyeur of sorts... :-)

Jason, good to hear from you sir! How goes Goliath?

Hey Charlie! Well it's been pretty much on hold since last summer - I started working at Apple (I'm now an Expert at an Apple retail store) and the majority of my weekly time has been going toward that gig, plus I'm now doing search engine marketing with a great company, working as a freelancer of sorts, so I've been incredibly busy. I had actually moved forward with a small group of people toward making an animated full-length version of the script, but that has since bee...

Instead of paying for coverage have you thought of joining a writing group? I'd love to start one in LA with members of the board if anyone's interested.

writer's groups are tricky. i've been in a few, and the experience can be extremely helpful, but can also quickly devolve into "too many cooks in the kitchen."

I don't actually live in LA ClapYourKnees (yet), but based off of your recommendation, I'll see if there's any local ones in my area!

I was on a date once when I received coverage. She went to the restroom, I checked my phone and there it was.

The amount of will power I demonstrated the rest of the night was incredible.

necessitates it. shudder!

Charlie Kaufman tho.

^^^^ tho

ALL THE THO

Still with Energy?

Yes? Absolutely! Thanks Zoned!!

You're welcome, Chuck! :-)

Thanks Chuck, massive appreciation. Is coverage still done this way?

Yep.

Cool, thanks man!
