    Just saw "Jaws" for the first time (!) at a local theater and now I'm reading the script. It's interesting to see what was changed in the final shoot - you can really see what they were trying to accomplish in a scene by reading what they tried first (this is actually at least the third draft I know of, probably more like the 100th). http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/Jaws.txt

      I did love it! I need to watch it again after reading the screenplay.

    I know this is old news but I'm on p. 70 of Justin Marks' "Earth Prime" and I'm loving it so hard. I can't believe no one bought this - maybe because the budget would have been 80 quadrillion dollars.

      My comment cut off but all I said was, "It all just happens so fast."

      Thinking about this more, if there was one thing I'd change, I'd slow it down a notch in Act II. The pace is so frenetic, and the body count so high, that I come out of it only feeling about 3/4 of the emotion I should be. I'd maybe swap one of those big set pieces (maybe the showdown with the skinhead's brother since I don't think that subplot adds very much) and add in another scene like the one with Bijou in the bathroom, or maybe somehow extend that one. It all just ha...

      I love when people post these too. Let me know what you think if you read it.

      I just finished it and holy crap that was good. If that didn't sell, I don't know what hope there is for the rest of us.

    Just finished "When the Street Lights Go On." It's beautifully written and a hell of a page turner, but there's a certain thinness to the story. Reminds me of "The Virgin Suicides" in that way (and obviously in other ways too). Still, I'd pay to see it, I think.

      That's what I thought too! It breaks every storytelling rule but still ends up being a really beautiful, engaging read.

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

    NSFW had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. I forgot I was reading a screenplay! Felt super short though?

      It's a thriller set in a law office. A paralegal is locked in the office after hours and has to escape an armed killer while unraveling a conspiracy in the office. It was very suspenseful! The screenplay is available in the Specs of 2011 forum.

    Reading the pilot for "The Killing" right now. This script handles expository dialogue really, really well.

    So excited for MORE AS THE STORY DEVELOPS. That script is everything a pilot should be.
