      ˇhanks, CB.

       

      Also the Deadwood pilot does a formidable job of establishing place, tone and character.

      Homicide: Life on the Streets (watched, never read) is a great example of how to do an ensemble drama.

  3. In LA for a week, anything cool I should check out while I'm here?

      Burger and a beer at Hinano in Venice.

       

      Go for a Runyon Canyon hike. Check out the scene and then the view.

      THank you, Sankofa. Do you know if those pilots were written on spec (without a blind deal/not bought on pitch)?

      Soundtracks mostly.

       

      Hurt Locker

      Inception

      Oblivion

      Buried

      Gravity

      Panic Room

       

      are all good for penning thrillers.

  6. So I have a Star Wars theory - JJ is going to kill Han Solo.

  7. I'm contemplating a move to a Macbook after not finding a PC laptop I really like. I have a PC desktop, so the laptop will not be my primary machine. I'm looking for portability but need enough power for writing/surfing, maybe some Netfilx. I'd appreciate hearing users' thoughts on Macbook Airs and Pro retinas. Thanks!

      stringerbell, the end of my comment was just a coda to my feeling of coffee shop Mac-centricity and oppression and it read:

      Switched to a Macbook Air after years of being a linux laptopper (not easy but can be done).

       

      For 99.9% of users, there isn't that much difference between PCs and Macs.

       

      The Air (11inch) is lightweight, ergonomic and its battery life is the best of I've seen in laptops of its class. It runs all the software I need and then some.

       

      But the greatest benefit is not getting the silent sneers in hipster coffee shops when I pull out a non-Mac.

  9. Just watched Black List writer Christopher MacBride's feature debut, THE CONSPIRACY. It's a corker! Check it out: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2330322/

      Sure flew under the radar that one did. Almost makes you wonder if... nah. That's not possible... OR IS IT?

  10. The Knick is such a damn good show. Probably my favorite of the year. Only 3 eps in, but this would be my reason for buying cinemax.

      Let us know if you stick with it. I was on board until I wasn't (ep 7 or so). Not entirely sure why.

  15. Screenplays (produced and unproduced) with your favorite twist endings? Minimum spoilers please.

    1. naugehyde

      naugehyde

      i dug the protagonist switch at the midpoint of SIDE EFFECTS. As soon as the apparent protag (Kate Mara) starts to appear to have a hidden agenda, we switch over to Jude Law. Not a twist per se (those come later) but a definite broadside to my expectations.

  17. Anyone have a prediction for Age of Extinction's weekend gross?

    1. naugehyde

      hoping it's low enough to bring the franchise to extinction but am probably way off.

  19. Exciting news! Got a gig doing a rewrite for a film already in the pipeline that has some serious potential but they're asking if I have an agent...which I don't. Any suggestions from any of my already repped friends?

  20. Need a comedy spec to read. Tired of reading sci-fi. I mean, I'm not, because I love sci-fi, but I need to read more comedies. Any to recommend?

    1. naugehyde

      naugehyde

      If you want to take a gander at a first draft of a comedy spec I'm looking to revise, I'd appreciate any thoughts you have.

       

      It's a Rom-com called ROMCOM. You can guess the rest.

       

      It's here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oe3h66y7v4rzbj4/romcom-GERNGROSS.pdf.

       

      Feel free to indulge or ignore at your discretion.

  21. Season 2 of House Of Cards seems a bit more fragmented then the 1st season. Also burns at slower pace. Haven't figured out my thoughts on it. Though it seems season 1 may have been better.

    1. naugehyde

      naugehyde

      Agree that Season 1 was more satisfying.

       

      Season 2 ventured further into implausibility and was less pure fun.

  22. House of Cards must hold some type of record for the amount of metaphors and analogies they churn out every episode

    1. naugehyde

      naugehyde

      Truth! I yell "Block that metaphor!" at the screen about twice an episode.

  23. I really wanted to feel... *something* about what happened to Brody but the lead-up was so poor I was just kind of ambivalent. And what was with Carrie?? For the emotional wreck she's been this season she was oddly calm about everything that went down. Talking with the people responsible for Brody's outcome as though nothing happened. No attempted eye gouging or anything.

    1. naugehyde

      An utterly disastrous finale.

       

      Not re-upping on this one. Pointe, HBO.

       

      The season wasn't a complete waste tho. Felt the season had nearly redeemed itself from the Dana shenanigans and general waywardness when Brody got to Tehran. The penultimate episode was damn good.

       

      BUT

       

      holy fuck what a shitty conclusion.

       

      Great dilemma set up for Saul, save the mission but not Brody and they almost immediately resolved it.

       

      Then that lon...

  24. 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!
