  1. Damn - two years in a row my little horror spec finished in the top 10-15% of Nicholl's but missed the quarterfinal cut. Guess it's time for another rewrite then onto the next one!

      It's a coming of age drama centered on a teenage car theft during Hurricane Katrina

      Well done. Good luck with the next cut!

      Thanks! Keeping my fingers crossed.

  2. We had some fun with a TB member-only fantasy football league last year. Any interest in raising it from the dead?

      Can we get this league to 12? Expand the winnings?

      I'm in if there's space left.

      I expanded the league to 12 teams. Still waiting on two teams from last year to re-join.

  3. Wish it was good screenwriting news to report, but it is still exciting. Got word from Temple that I will be fully funded in my doctorate program this fall! Now I'll have plenty of time to hack out queries to managers lol

      Thank you all for the kind words. Hope to share some good screenwriting news in the future. :)

  4. Only have about 5 teams for a fantasy football league. Last call for teams or we shelf it until next year.

      Is still $50 buy in or just for fun? Would prefer just for fun but might play either way.

    3. CastorTroy16

      CastorTroy16

      Everybody wanted to make it competitive and make it $50... Join ...it's gonna be fun...up to 7 teams

    4. Reader George

      I don't mind playing for less if it gets us up to 10. I'd rather play with some $$$ on the line.

       

  5. Loved the Conjuring... One of the top horror flicks I've seen

      I thought it was okay...

       

      I'm not much of a horror fan though.

       

      The shot composition was terrific though I have to say.

    4. ... who are those guys?

      ... who are those guys?

      Well said, Mike. I'm a comic fan... yet if I see one more blow 'em up beat 'em down spandex wearing blockbuster I'm going to turn into one of those curmudgeons who pines for movies "the way they used to make them."

  6. I miss this website. Oh, how I miss this website.

      Thanks, Sankofa. Definitely miss the chat crew. Might have to drop by to celebrate my TB Launch Pad results - oh, snap! Don't I wish lol

      How you make the BL, CB. That would be sweet for Henchmen!

      Only a fool would underestimate the henchman! Been too busy to chat, too. Seems everyone in the office is cramming to get stuff done before the holidays and crazy busy.

       

  7. I don't know what people are stocking up on more - assault weapons or screenplays. Both could black market items by the end of 2013. What I think is we're in a dead news cycle. Where's Tiger Woods to wreck his SUV when we need him...

      Sad but true. Hope TB holds firm.

      None of this is new stuff. This has been going on for years. For the most part it *seems* that if you are discrete no one much cares. Discrete and respectful (ie, don't go fucking posting Deadpool on mediafire and then announce it to the world! I'm surprised Scriptshadow lasted as long as it did, love the site as I do/did.

    4. CastorTroy16

      CastorTroy16

      Same here. I loved that he gave access and didn't mind the email file share. Educational use only. If someone then takes a script and posts it around the world, remove them from the distribution list! Anyway... A benefit of following Scriptshadow was learning about the TB.

  8. I think by the end of watching True Detective, I will have earned 3 credits for philosophy, 3 credits for theology, and may find out who killed this woman....

      It's hard to tell neo45. I'm into it and will probably watch the entire season. i like where they're taking future seasons, as well.

      Too funny, Jaco. Maybe you'll be the first to sue Final Draft for not disclosing the suffering a writer endures... lol

      That's Class Action level stuff you're talking there. Treble damages, fees, costs . . . watch out, lawyer stiffy in the house.

  10. Reading through the Black List Logline Game: Take a drink every time you read the words "based on a true story." See if you live til the end.

      How would you guys rate your experience with the Black List so far? My brother and I are thinking of putting a script up there, once its finished.

       

      Maybe we should start a thread on BL impressions, if there isn't one already...

    3. CastorTroy16

      CastorTroy16

      I liked my experience with the Black List. I think it's useful. Get the read. Get a good score? Keep it up. You don't? Yank it off. Don't pay for it to collect dust.

    4. mercutio

      mercutio

      It's useful, if you get an 8 or higher. If you get an 8, your script gets mentioned in the Black List email that week. I got some downloads after the 8 rating came in, but very few before that.

  12. There's a great show I think you should check out - it's called Breaking Bad with the dad from Malcolm in Middle - yeah, I know right. But he's awesome in it. Two episodes into season 3. Looking forward to more… Yeah, I'm late to the party but this show is awesome!

      I'm not sure what happened to the mods and admins. It's disappointing how long everything takes to get fixed here. TB Red, TB Black, what's the deal? WE all want this to be an active resource. Communication and efficiency are key to making that happen.

      I send the admins a message on June 8 and never heard back. I just assumed that who ever was driving this thing had popped open the door and jumped out, leaving the rest of us in the back seat as the car continued to swerve along.

      Hey guys. New TB Red here. Sorry, we've had some personnel changes over the summer, and a few areas clearly went under the radar. I've asked our team to take a look at this issue this week. It seems from my predecessor's notes its a ridiculous issue with the forum theme (because bland blue was apparently a luxury pick - LOL). Will track back with updates as I get them. Apologies again for the hiccup here.

  14. Yeah, that's a good scream

      Love De Palma! If you haven't already, check out Dressed to Kill and Sisters.

      Thanks for the tip! I'll see if I could find them

    4. CastorTroy16

      CastorTroy16

      Dressed to Kill is coming up the next two Fridays on MGMHD

  15. We opened the fantasy league to 12 teams due to overwhelming response. If you want to join, send my your email via PM.

  16. K Ryans is the real Santa Claus

  17. Last call for the TB-only football league. we have 8 teams at $50 a team. Top team name might be Third and Logline! lol Here's the link to the site: http://y.ahoo.it/Rkv3h0gS The password is tracking if you need it.

    3. CastorTroy16

      CastorTroy16

      Yep. Ill set up a Paypal for it. We draft tomorrow at 930 et ... One more to fill us up!

      something came up and won't be able to do the draft tonight. sorry man, i was looking forward to taking your money.

  18. Well, now I can finally read that True Detective treatment :)

      CastorTroy16

      Static, I was surprised by how different the treatment was. There was a ton of material in the episode outline that didn't make the cut - I think for the better.

    3. rywold

      rywold

      Agreed.

       

      I was hoping it would have more detail about the last episode in the treatment, but I can see why the last two were lumped together. Gives him some wiggle room, there.

      *SPOILERS*

       

      Absolutely loved the final episode. My only gripe would be the early scenes where we spend time with killer.

       

      Surely we should have only ever seen him from Cohle/Hart's perspective?

  19. Was thinking about starting a TB fantasy football league ... 50 a team. Message me if you're interested.

      Will the league consist of only Tracking Board members? Snake or Auction draft and what site will it be on? Just curious. Thanks.

       

    3. CastorTroy16

      CastorTroy16

      American football... TB only... Snake draft with 10 or 12 teams depending on interest

  23. You know it must be a good horror spec if it's (N/A) in the Specs of 2013 list

    1. Escapist

      Escapist

      to which spec are you referring?

    2. CastorTroy16

      CastorTroy16

      There's about 10 I want to read - Haunt, Home Movies, House on the Borderland, The Unholy, Visions - all scripts I'd love to read!

  24. Watching the original Evil Dead in anticipation of the remake release on Tuesday. Anyone know if Unrated blu-ray is in the works?

    1. dsjones

      dsjones

      Pretty sure there's an Unrated cut. Though technically it was rated. NC-17
