  1. for dialogue-- I'm trying to think of a situation where the training is worse/more grueling than the actual thing that's being trained for. Any ideas?

      I know they face hellish conditions on missions, but the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Training is probably a good start.

  2. So close to writing Fade To Black for the first time its not even funny... Taking a quick break for indian food to recharge the batteries!

  3. Very thankful for this community. My pilot is getting read at a few places and I'm preparing a pitch document for it. You guys rock!!!

  4. Anyone see Killing Them Softly? Is it really ‘F’ CinemaScore worthy?

      Surprised because tonally I thought campaigns were similar for Lincoln Lawyer (granted different types of films) but still, it got a double digit gross on opening wkd.

      Think the RT/MC average of 79/64 is probably closer. Some will like its sublime darkness. I'm sure the avg moviegoer though saw Brad Pitt and guns and thought it was a more action-filled ride.

  7. Just got a letter from AFF that one of my scripts made 2nd round. Felt pretty good after not getting out of the first my last couple of tries.

      He's Bansky's "protege" as brought to surreality in Exit Through the Gift Shop. And yeah...just sounds like something he'd attempt.

  10. A 1/3 of all US movie ticket buyers have dropped off the grid this weekend? Anyone here actually planning on seeing anything?

      Killer Joe is the top of my list. Probably get out to support Celeste and Jesse sometime soon. THOUGH. Next weekend should be big.

  11. My spec SAM DINKLE: SECRET AGENT went out today - fingers crossed! :)

  12. Posted this in the Looking For section, but just for the hell of it, anybody got coverage on "Last Witness" by Stefan Jaworski? Was on the 2011 Black List, but I can't find any reviews of it anywhere online.

    1. treyselman

      Looks like there's a few up on Mediafire. Just search Last Witness Stefan Jaworski pdf on google. It'll populate. Good luck.

  13. Question to you all: I'm moving to LA in late December. What could I be doing NOW to make my resume look better? Learn Final Cut? Master Pro Tools? Learn how to write coverage? Thoughts and ideas please

  14. Has anyone on here (ANYONE) ever gotten a job that's posted in the jobs section? If so, can you tell us a bit about your experience?

    1. treyselman

      treyselman

      But honestly. I don't think a 3% response rate would be beyond the norm. [Especially if you don't have many contacts.] Tough industry, still lean economy. Keep grinding. Make Linkedin work for you and [though it probably isn't what you want] take an unpaid internship in the mean time. It's the quickest way to get a recommendation, to get networked in or get hired.

      I just wanted that to soak in before I started writing Die Hard in a Cracker Barrel.

  21. Reading all these casting updates/rumors for "Out of the Furnace" and all I can think is, 'Is that really a better title than "Low Dweller"?

      Out of the Furnace: The untold story of Hansel and Gretel. Also, Burbs 2.

  22. Jeff Who Lives at Home is probably the best Duplass brother's movie thus far.

      That said, it was a pretty big departure from their mumblecore beginnings. Saw it at AFF last fall. Crowd dug it.

      Definitely their broadest and most accessible film. Thought the last half of the third act was their best work to date. Definitely altered from the initial script I read.
