Read Small Talk -- predictable and unamusing. A lot of the specs feel kind of dated - even Disciple Program felt like it belonged in the 90s or 00s. Anybody else feel that way?

Reading HELLBOUND. Started out not liking it, but it's getting better now that we're in hell.

Just finished Prairie Dogs and really enjoyed it - think it's a great show/series/pilot idea. If cast well, we could have another funny mainstream office comedy on our hands here folks...

Thank you!

Trying to compile them now with a few of you other wonderful people on here. Already have about 300 there, and lots of the new ones have yet to be written.

200 I should say.

I'll be tossing my hat in the ring.

Definitely. This will be my first contest, ever. Very excited to start putting my work out there. Good luck to everyone!

Good incentive to get those ideas onto the page.

I wonder how many of the people who voted actually read the scripts in question?

Thought of an idea to tweak it for (Future?) editions... So it bends a little further from Black List. Since we're talking about specs... Ask the voters -- "WHICH FIVE SPECS WOULD YOU BUY IF YOU WERE RUNNING THE STUDIO?" Gives it a slightly different slant and would be cool to view it in those terms.

Kitchen Sink, The Forgotten Man, Expulsion, Triple Nine & Hoof Harrington's Greatest Hits.

All had massive potential. Less Kitchen Sink, which in my opinion should be filmed as is. And yesterday god-d-it.

Father Daughter Time?

I enjoyed NSFW.

What do you need them for? Just good reads or something else? My co. has got a couple good projects that could use help in the casting. A contained one-room thriller and another that could go lean down to $5m. Message me if you're interested.

Congrats to all the Top 10 and to TB for having a contest that really makes a difference in a writer's career.

Congrats to the finalists!

Good show, folks!

This is like Game of Thrones, hollywood reporting style.

dsjones FTW!

Thank you.

Read & enjoyed: Nebraska, A Many Splintered Thing, Hope Springs, The Counselor, Saving Mr. Banks, Interstate 5 and Convergence.

Reading horror screenplays since the next couple projects I write will be horror/thrillers So, I'm reading Incident on 459 (Sparling), Incident at Sans Asylum (Zahler) and will read A Rose In The Darkness after that.

No script yet. They just bought the series, and are out to writers.

Oh, come on. That's like the 5th 'moon' based project this past 2 months. I'm so mad at my manager who told me last year not to write anything like this when I pitched him something similar to Dark Moon...sigh.

I would fire him on general principle.

Tied for 2nd which earned me nothing.

My pool is more kidney shaped than anything. But thanks for asking.

I ended up with 20 of 24. Didn't expect Redmayne to beat out Keaton or Big Hero 6 to beat HTTYD2.

Wonderful. Good thing I hope!

Congrats to everyone who made it past the first round and a HUGE congrats to those who made it to the top!

Nicey Nicerton from Niceville!

A tree fell in my yard due to the storm we're having... trying to persuade the wife to cut it up. Shouldn't take her long.

lol

Give a lady a chainsaw, and she's yours for life

Everyone was great today. I'll definitely be joining in again.

It was a lot of fun to actually see a little action going on in there.

i missed it! and I was off on Friday too?! damn, Damn, DAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMNNNN!!!

Does that mean spec market is dead till start of 2012 ? Or does it pick up for Sept-Oct?

No, it'll pick up again, just this month is famously sloooooooow!

Yeah, but it allows me to play catchup.

And just saw they are remaking a 1980's Mamet classic "About Last Night" ... jesus f*ing christ can't Hollywood come up with an original edgy comedy about sex in the 2000's? Isn't that what "Swingles", "Fuck-Buddies", etc is all about... If they remake Ferris Bueller, I will fucking blow a lung...

That was Ed Zwick that did About Last Night. And he didn't even write the movie. Or at least he didn't take credit. I just cataloged the Shooting Draft a month or so back. Mamet has more taste than that. And it's simply not his style.

About Last Night (1986) (Kazurinsky & DeClue) [1985-23-09] [shoot.] [Rev.] [1985-17-10] [scan] [H] - Just for clarification.

I don't know man. Maybe it's because I'm in the mood for some Fun reads right now, because Hoof is all kinds of fun.

Yeah -- Dark Moon, Empire of the Wolf (u suggested that I believe), Expulsion (I really liked even tho everyone hated), Snow White/Huntsman... I did more catching up this year on older stuff to be honest

U want fun re-read "Long Kiss Goidnight". I did and lol'd at least 10 times... The writing was also BRILLIANT

Makes sense. Thanks for the update.

How many total entries did the contest receive?

I think there were 26 entries Jaco. I feel for the one who didn't make the cut.

Seriously though, good question. I'd be interested in the numbers.

Here here!

wow!

Amazing results. Nice work, TB. Seems eyes are on this comp!

+1

Fixing now...

Thanks

Bobby's shout out is just a prelude to what you can expect in 2014. Consider it a practice gaffe. Cos, as we all know, Bobby's not all there.

LOL. Well said Mike!

So how do we get a hold of it?

Hence why I love this site and those who oversee it.

I'm completely lost. I missed something.

Do not be that guy who literally requests the removed documents in the thread I post informing everyone why I've removed them.

Alas. I was not among thee. Better luck next year. Congrats to all. Fingers crossed for The Governess, sounds like my cup of tea.

congrats to those who made the QF's

Congrats to the QF's!

Who will be out first? BL or HL?

Are both Black List and Hit List due today, DS?

Both are due out today, Elliott. Black List at 10am pacific. Not sure the time for the Hot List.

Lots of really interesting loglines in that bunch.

Congrats!

Congratulations, everyone! Don't Panic & Good Luck!

Brought.

Awesome!

very cool
