Yeah it's not Black - no commentary on his own script within the script lol

Shane Black will probably be at the Screenwriting Expo next year. Someone needs to walk by him and yell Chuck. If he turns around, we know the answer. Mystery solved!

Lol I'm with u brian

So yes, it was actually bringing in a judgement about how I view your script taste. But positively

yeah, i did find myself wanting it to end already around that time.

I think the concept rox way more than the actual script -- which I thought ranged from cliche to alright.

yessir, Mr Seerious!

Fair idea. But I have a lot of pre-existing films go use as visual paradigms

I uploaded the script for The Artist awhile back. It comes in at 42 pages but it's kind of cheat with no dialogue.

Good shit

Apollo 18 just did this very thing.

Do you remember the Fake Eli Roth Clown trailer?

Sling Blade

Nope. I just hate the guy. He pontificates his point in the worst possible way to anyone that isn't as anal retentive as he is. There is a huge difference between sharing what you have learned and shoving it down people's throats. Every last thing he ever wrote feels like a sermon to me.

But.... This is just my opinion. I am much more focused on intent when reviewing anything. As such I am less likely to bash the crap out of something with minor fixable issues. Something h...

e clearly doesn't get the grasp of despite proclaiming everything a work-in-progress at the beginning of his reviews.

+1 BoyNo

Uh and also Jane Got a Gun. It's a freaking Blood bath.

ROFL@Cyber

So...."A Many Splintered Thing" (referred to me by BenBodhi) is reallly fucking good. Excellent writing.

Nice!

Only tweet of the day! Next to a question he JUST answered...

@Jiblings: Hell yeah!

and so it has been decided... now up to Mods to setup "Review" section

boyno, Cyber... that's a nice idea...

It could be like TB's own *better* version of "Script Shadow" - with briefer reviews...

Thanks for all the input guys...

I'm either off to Miami or a private bungalow in the Hollywood Hills...7 days of nonstop writing...then going to Goldeneye (Jamaica) for a week, top of May, to unwind. THEN get busy on my first draft...

Miami? Private bungalows? Jamaica!? Holy sh!t, CyberHater! How rich are you?

I'm a struggling artist dood...

...can someone please pass the Grey Poupon?

LOL!

@cyberhater.Well judge for yourself, as I've just uploaded the first 27 pages. I haven't changed loads. Just a bit here and there, its more some of the dialogue.

Saw it today. Loved it. A lot of American cars in the movie. I love American cars.

Saw it again today. Dare I say: instant-classic? Btw Cranston rocked!

It was very good.

Hints of Mann, De Palma, Hillcoat, Soderberg, Hill, Andrew Dominik etc...

Read all the books a few years back. Took a couple hundred pages to get all the names/plots straight but once I did I was hooked. Feels odd to say but give it a couple hundred pages...it's worth it!

Cardney: Well i figure since I've seen season 1 and read Wikipedia overview I have all the major beats/twists/etc -- so it's easier to go into 2nd book w/out having read the 1st. Had debate with female worker in Barnes & Noble about my view on jumping str8 into 2nd book, but after 3min of rationality being slung by moi she conceeded that I was correct in jumping str8 into "A Clash of Kings"... Now gonna marathon "The Killing" this week so I can be fully caught up

Never thought Sean Bean would be play a truly sympathetic character...I was wrong

There a link to the 5.12.97 draft? I don't think I have that one (I have one that is undated but I don't think it is the Rodat/Darabont draft -- don't see Darabont's name anywhere on it).

CH -- Yeah -- I mean, the way Hanks played it... Wasn't even the character that was on the page... The guy on the page wins an Oscar. Too bad Hanks did his own thing and the character got watered down... And seriously fuck that "was I a good person" shit or whatever the line was from the Old Man in the cemetery... Totally not in the script I remember reading and not necessary.

Yeah fucked Miller over big time... And where's the intro plane scene - that was epic!

@ BoyNo - it's a 4 Quadrant film.

@ TB - luv Rain, but Ninja Assasin flopped nasty styles.

@ Charlie - yes, original shit...

Originality and, if it fits, a rousing battle scene or two (preferably with a twist). Avatar for all its faults had a decent battle at the end.

true - twist part

thanks!

Re Cruise -- of course he fits the script, McQuarie wrote and produced Valkerie

The TAILORED it for his style and sensibility...

Agree with mebishop -- was annoying after a bit. But the hook/ pacing/ concept is great! I can see copycat crimes of this sooooon

I'll be the lone wolf here. I thought it was just okay story-wise. It's very well written and obviously overwritten in its detail, but what is special about this hook?

@Stringer -- the whole random extortion ring is super clever. The system, the order, the plausibility!

Just finished reading this and I have to +1 all the positivity above. Such specific writing choices that I'm curious, did you write this to direct yourself, dietgreentea?

May I read it DGT?

Hope it becomes available to read.

Iller! To put it bluntly: it's "The Sopranos" meets "Lord of the Rings"...on crack! Soooooooo GOOD. There's nothing to hate...except for The Lannister's!

Ok... you've sold me. Moved to the top of the pile.

Best show out!

For me the final nail in the coffin was the announcement of a Lethal Weapon remake. WTF? Buy some original scripts you bastards!!!

@TB Red - wow - I should just make some shit up and say its going to happen - like I am going to get 7 figures for my next script. BAMM

I'm voting for Trolls...you trolls.

I vote Broken City! Great script that really grips you.

Thanks for the tip on Broken City. I'll read that next. I just finished London Boulevard (FANTASTIC)and Gold (BEYOND LOUSY)...

Chronicle...meh. Just watch Akira again, or read Marvel's "Runaways." Much better.

TB Notorious is best

TB Boy sounds..... Electric Car Gay.

yup

On it...

Any chance of you posting Raw Knucklles?

Nope. They're not for share. Sorry.

Hahaha, awesome! Pics or it didn't happen!

wow thats a night... im hoping to hitup the one in LA next week

Daaaaamn, son. Cool.

Did it sell?

I hope not

Thought I heard somewhere that Valet was the script Lautner is doing for Michael Bay. So if so, yeah it sold for nice $$.

oh yeah!

If you want to see some 5d footage on a theater screen and haven't seen it already, go check out

Black Swan.

no way, what was filmed in 5D? Whole thing? Saw it and have screener -- gonna re-watch just cause of that!
