People left the theater I was in. Probably hard for average people to empathize with morally conflicted individuals.

Bale and Amy Adams had the most solid screen relationship I've seen in years. The genuine care...

Really liked it.

The hacking has been officially tracked back to North Korea now. And a pundit on TV was estimating that the canceled release would cost Sony about $50 million.

If the Aurora theater shooting hadn't happened, they wouldn't be taking this threat so seriously. Remember that N Korea is one big personality cult. No shortage of citizens who would give their lives to avenge this slight on their leader.

The greatest disservice Team America did was to make the late Kim Il Jung into a joke. I once used him in an action movie and the notes came back that I couldn't use him because he was too comedy. Reality - he and his son have slaughtered millions via starvation and concentration camp. That's the movie Hwood should be making.

Loved it. Every emotional beat was earned, for me. Loving connection between a father and daughter that transcends space and time = much better than Chinese aliens, any day!

^^ Absolutely, Spec_Writer. I almost wrote the exact same response.

I thought it was very good. Yes, you could pick some of it apart but compared to the average mindless $200m movie it is in a different league. Much better on the human side than Inception, as well.

Thanks, guys. I saw that Joey Alexander on 60 Minutes - amazing. And with only 7 or 8 decades of career to go! I find certain types of jazz make great writing music. Took me years to realize listening to my favorite songs (with singers, lyrics) just distracts and slows me up. Robert - that's some great propulsive music alright. Reminds me of some of David Arnold's work on the Bond films, like TND.

Cowboy Bebop soundtrack. Specifically Tank!

Great theme, CB. I love that series. The end credits theme is cool as well.

I'm giving FadeIn a try now and am happy with it.

Downloaded the demo, SB - appreciate the tip. So far I'm drawn to the simplicity of it.

Very simple, but it's got some depth if you dig into the preferences. You can also rearrange the interface somewhat (I put the editing stuff on the left and rearrange the placement a bit). It also makes clean PDFs. IMO, MMS is lousy, expensive software and FD is absolutely draconian.

Passengers (Pruss), Killing on Carnival Row, Godless (though Netflix snatched that up and Frank is turning it into a miniseries)

A few action scripts I think could make good movies with a little rewriting, like MOTORCADE or THE MAN WITH THE FOOTBALL, STOPPING POWER, BLADES - they're all a little cheesy but they could be really exciting if done right.

Some great choices here. I'll add an oldie: Age Of Aquarius by Phil Alden Robinson. Silly title, but a great romantic drama against the backdrop of the war in Bosnia. Was to have starred Harrison Ford and Juliette Binoche, but was shut down on the eve of production and completely forgotten after that.

I have no idea of how the script developed here, but Russell did massive rewrites of Three Kings to the point it was almost unrecognizable from where it started. I loved Three Kings so I can't say that's inherently a bad thing.

Yes, it looks very stylized, almost Fairy Tale like, when I thought the story's power came from it's grounded reality. But I'm definitely rooting for it and this is just a first glimpse.

This movie is still about a mop, right?

Thank you very much. Please let me know. And anyone else with ideas or advice, please PM me.

‘fraid i ain’t got no answer yet so far, suh, to tell ya.

I sent you a PM

And who said the royal family wasn't kinky?

I wonder if the hackers are sitting on Sony's database of script/project coverage?

Kim Jong and his cronies are probably eating popcorn and watching the screeners.

I know this is cliche enough to almost be trite but I think there is a lot of truth that the story was designed from the outside in, from set-pieces (casino "planet" was one of the starting concepts for the story)to story, rather than the other way around. Reminds me of how Yoda fell apart through the series: he was so memorable because unexpected - the great master who turned out to be small, frail, and seemingly inconsequential. The significance of that was lost, though, when...

they turned him into a ping-pong ball with a light saber.

LOL, a ping-pong ball with a light saber. That pretty much nails it. And yes, the movie did feel like it was sort of awkwardly back-engineered from what JJ Abrams committed to in TFA...but which never made a whole lot of sense to begin with. I don't have any better idea of what Kylo Ren's goal is or why Rey has The Force or why Luke is "hiding out"...I could go on. None of it has any logic or emotional weight.

I liked that one too!

It's pretty unrealistic, but if you can completely suspend your disbelief, it's a solid thriller.

Is it up here? If not, any chance? Thanks.

No worries - I wasn't criticizing you for asking here. Just thought posting there might give you a bit more exposure and increase the odds of getting it. Good luck!

No luck on our end. Sorry. I would post in the ISO, if you have not yet, as quite a few people subscribe to the ISO and File Exchange, so they'll get the emails about it if it's in there. (but, it is the holidays, so it may be a bit fewer ppl reading than usual.

Thanks for looking, Red. I'll list it in the ISO.

I just hope he remembered that the audience sometimes need to have fun while watching a movie.

but The Wrap said it was a brilliant movie that falls apart in the third act and Nolan *STILL* hasn't improved on writing women characters...

I really enjoyed the draft of the script that's in the forums here, so I'm looking forward to the film. May smoke a joint before I see it.

That was sarcasm. Hello?

note cards resting on your ipad?

Its funny, I feel like I've heard 4-5 people tell me about great apps for this... yet I cant think of or find one.

Nnnnnope.

I don't think remakes will ever go away, unless the remakes start having bad tracking specifically because they are remakes.

nope.

Ditto - great characters with believable arcs - in spite of the lunacy and madness. This reminds me of how thrilled I was when I first discovered THE HITCHHIKERS GUIDE... WOO HOO!

Daccord!

keyyed!

Sounds tasty - might you please share? Dialogue is the dickens.

You can read AUGUST for free right here:

Unfortunately, RED I had to buy on Kindle for six bucks and it doesn't let you share. I'm not a big fan of Logan's screenplays but RED is great.

RED is worth the six bucks, so is August Osage.

Really terrific plays, and as you asid benskelly, great to see how good dialogue can be.

I'd love to see Saorise get a nomination for it.

Me too. I honestly think she has a good shot - especially since she's been nominated before.

from the trailer, i'm damn impressed they made it for 10. you shouldn't be able to do that with the locations they used. looks huge.

Gotta do it in File Exchange.

Just start a new topic.

Then "attach file" will be below the text box.

Gracias.

Thank you.

De nada

Gold in men and women's hockey. To hell with the Canadians!

They're like hockey pirates. They seize the frozen waters and steal all the gold.

Come on guys... other than Orphan Black and that new comedy show called Rob Ford, what else do they have? I'm just glad real hockey starts again on Wednesday. GO KINGS!

is your british aunt "kickass torrents?" or Auntie Megashare?

Mrs. Sidereel actually. Crazy old bat just stopped cold. I was just looking for links to watch, not download - but guess it's not to be.

This story, as a Hollywood rom-com, with Jim Carrey as the male lead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loomis_Fargo_Bank_Robbery

Thank you.

make that two!

Thanks for the this. Watched last night. Excellent.

I'm really anxious to see the next episode. Hope it maintains that level of verisimilitude.

LOL!

Swesome. Finally something new.
