LOL. I listen to all the working writers talk about how fast it takes them to write a draft and I think shit, I'm going so damn slow! A good outline really does help write a hell of a lot faster, I will say that.

I agree about the outline. I had a 121 page first draft, let sit over the holidays, then cut it down to 95 pages. I'm letting it sit a couple of weeks before I give it a 3rd pass to iron out some of the changes I made.

Nice. Keep rocking. It's a marathon not a race. That's what I gotta tell myself.

Looks exactly like the script. Awesome!

I totally agree. To bad it's destined to fail miserably as Mel is finished. We did a touching eulogy for him over at CG.

CG?

Go to the sandwich spot "Primanti Brothers". Maaaad famous, open until like 4am. Fries are real good there...

Is that the place where they put the fries in the sandwich? Had a date there once...

Yes

I have heard many a pitch that turned into complete nonsense at the script level. I am reserving judgment as such.

Fair enough sir, fair enough.

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!

Could it be the one based on one of the Penny Arcade comics? He's working on something with them.

Am I the only one who thinks he's a hack?

Also heard he's not a very nice guy. A little bit up himself.

Is the concept worth another attempt? What's the log, if you're comfy posting it?

LOL. I don't think people get what I'm say....The script is called Frontiersman and it's a new spec for this year. I was going to review it for a member review, because I actually liked Without a Paddle, but I just couldn't get into it at all.

What happened to the dog script I read, Nic? You still working on it?

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.

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

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

Saw it for my kids this weekend. Great visuals. Love triangle story was pretty tired in my opinion. Worth a watch.

I did first weekend - kids loved it!

Yeah dudes! It's getting hit at the box office, needs the word spread!

Been 6 months for me. Moved, had comp issues, new job, no software, etc. Luckily my bro picked up the slack. And I've been outlining and doing story notes like mad. But, FD is on sale at Writers Store, so my drought will end this weekend! Can't wait!

Give yourself some forced, mental encouragement so that you are certain of yourself, CB.

When I get "stuck" I just write a scene of something completely unrelated to whatever it is I'm working on -- like a James Bond intro or maybe Michelle Yeoh kicking some ass... whatever forces creativity.. and then I transition into project at hand. Maybe I still end up with crap but you know you sometimes gotta get it all out before the gems emerge. Write on!

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...

Go TB!

Awesome! Go TB!

That's awesome!

Yeah, the plant houses are good to go. The soil is gentle and the undead obnoxious.

As a sidenote, if you're going to be working in Denver I wouldn't live in/commute from the Springs. I've lived in both Denver and the Springs (love both but Denver is more for me) and that's a rough commute to making regularly. Castle Rock is about as far south as I would go for a Denver commute.

Castle Rock?! I haven't sold ten scripts yet, ha! Thanks for the info man, I'll be in touch with ya more about it in the coming weeks and months

Shoot me a pm when you need more info - I'm happy to help with my thoughts on the area.

a legend and a heckuva cool guy.

GTS!

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.

Why's that? I thought it looked like it had a lot of potential. I love Tintin.

His face just looked so weird. Not the biggest fan of this style of "animation."
