Matt, what really worked for you? I felt like it had huge potential but didn't fully develop any one element, instead leaving a bunch of them under-developed and I ultimately didn't get the purpose of it. How did you feel at the end?

Agree with you mostly Dan.

It's just nice to see a flawed/crazy character of a women. instead of a guy for once. Maybe it's just that I have more crazy women around me then you. I also loved Patton Oswalt he really brought is A game in this.

Be grateful that you get an instant queue at all. Here on the Canadian Netflix we don't get it for anything.

Jaco: Nope, not doing it (like it does for every other title). It must be intentional on their part, but I can't imagine why. Maybe once you play it, it will keep it at the top of your queue or something, or maybe there will be a separate tab for it? But I don't see anything like that now.

Worked for me.

I think Cars 2 wasn't up to par because Cars wasn't up to par. Look at Toy Story. Two sequels, and they were both strong.

I really enjoyed CARS - I just don't think that world could sustain a sequel. Anyway, it just didn't work. I'm hoping their dinosaur and brain movies are great originals.

They tried to sell Cars 2 as a passion piece because John Lasetter is supposedly so into cars, but we all know it was about merchandising. On a Disney stockholders call, the CEO said that Cars merch had outsold Star Wars merch. Insane.

They're doing a great job. The pace is so fast, with so many unique reaction shots and bits of business to catch, that it must be very complicated to shoot and edit, but they pull it off. How about the actress who plays Jane, where did she come from? She's hilarious.

I agree the show does not get enough credit, I think because ABC has terrible comedies that it gets sucked down the tubes... Anyway the flow reminds me of scrubs everytime I watch it

It is easily one of my favorites, and I'm glad to see they paired it with Modern Family this year to boost the ratings and awareness.

That exchange with Nicholson was priceless. She's so funny. And adorable, and sexy, and...

But I think her reaction was less "star struck" and more "oh my god this old creep is actually hitting on me." It was really sad to see Jack up to his dirty old man tricks.

Jude law needs to cut his hair

Does anyone have Halt & Catch Fire?

put it up

Got it, thx.

Afraid to look per spoilers Dan. I definitely heard a ring about a cast member, but have been avoiding any and all news so nothing is ruined. Nothing personal !!

same, I'm too vigilant

It's all speculation, but I see what you mean. Don't look at the cast list on imdb if you don't want potential spoilers, as there's some surprises there.

I'd venture a guess that yes, more BL scripts are from later in the year. But that's because those scripts are fresher on the minds of voters who've read hundreds of scripts over the course of a year.

Then again, I have no hard evidence to back this up. So take it with a grain of salt.

The converse is sometimes true too. You always get a couple high up that didn't necessarily make a splash as specs, because they were quietly set up but then over a period of months passed from person to person until their presence was just ubiquitous. So I'd say it tends to be a mixed bag.

I also know someone who was baffled to be on the list last year because his script was three years old. And wasn't actively submitted anywhere. But just enough voters saw it so...

So a script that comes out in Oct, Nov or maybe even Dec has a chance to place on the list?

Good on him. What great gesture and thing to do to go out of his way for them.

He's such a weirdo that it seems strangely more sincere than if an Anne Hathaway did it.

Or at least a class act when he's not reaming out some poor grip.

I was actually found the making of the Dark Knight Trilogy today in a book shop and sat down and start reading. Very nicely done(from what I read). The script part where The Nolans and Goyer described their process of writing and choosing the charaters is very interesting. And that Levitt's John Blake is actually an orphan, who Gordon took under his wing. They aimed for Wayne, Bane and Blake to have a link to each other. So, it begs the question: Does this make him a replacement for Wayne...

La la la fingers in ears! Please no potential spoilers! I've already seen and speculated too much: http://tinyurl.com/7xjqgek

Yeah, no I won't. Going to see it on friday myself so, we'll just leave it at that.

Louie season 2 was some of the best television in years.

Each episode was an esoteric short story.

I agree. Most of the episodes could be described as a stand-alone short story, actually.

Is this a new photo of the Mad Men cast? If so, why does only The Daily Beast have it and not The New York Times?! http://tinyurl.com/bh6u8cn

This is politcal correctness run amok. The interview embarrassed himself with his reponse. What a wuss.

I dunno, I probably would have refused, too. That soundbyte of you saying the n-word will live on context-free for eternity, right after it's played over and over on "Talk Soup." ;-)

I have an abundance of gratitude I'd be willing to share with you

I'm looking for interviews for my blog with working writers, directors and producers, and of course any hot screeners you might have. Message me and I'll shoot you my email.

A movie? I thought it was a new Fox reality show with Gordon Ramsay?

Isn't that what the eating part of Fear Factor is called?

My sources tell me no.

Haha!

HA! When I first read that I thought you said it featured FOUND FOOTAGE! That would be the worst Episode EVER!

David Holzman's Diary tie-in?

alright, alright, alright...

Sounds like Wooderson's line in 'Dazed and Confused'.

Awesome, missed the Bite this season.

Nice! I'll check it out.

It will just be the plotline for an episode of The Newsroom, that's all.

Joel McHale and Patrick Warburton, too. Especially Warburton, hilarious. :-) But I'm still baffled as to why it's the #1 R-rated comedy of all time.

Would love to read it, Dan. Enjoyed the synopsis.

Without him, Pixar wouldn't exist as we currently know it.

RIP Steve.

It's exclusive to this one, I believe.
