Little rant -- apropos of nothing... but what's the deal with websites that just offer 'Movie Transcripts'
-
Do you get notes saying your dialogue doesn't sound real? Read and learn from transcripts. I'm reading this FBI one of leaker Reality Winner, which is getting turned into an Off-Broadway play soon! https://www.politico.com/f/?id=0000015e-c5e7-ddab-a57f-cfe7d5b50002

Can anyone recommend any good comedy pilots from the last few yrs that really pushed the envelope in interesting ways? Like if Charlie Kaufman wrote a TV pilot? Thx!

TBS comedy execs are running laps around HBO these days. What happened?

Hey Hive Mind. I'm doing some research and I'm looking for your favorite movies where two or more lovable lugs go on the run from the mob, the government, other baddies after they either a) unknowingly fuck something up
get embroiled in a plot unwittingly or c) steal from said bad guys or government... What are some of your favorite "on the run" movies? Thanks--MP -
I'm getting ready to dive into an ensemble comedy script. What is your favorite ensemble comedy script?

Among recent films, the final version of Bridesmaids is pretty darn good http://www.screenplaydb.com/film/scripts/BridesmaidsScreenplay.Final_.pdf

However you felt about it, Netflix dropping a trailer for The Colverfield Paradox during the super bowl and saying it starts playing after the game is a HUGE game changer. I hope they do that every year.

But I still don't think it moves the needle on sign ups, unless the movie is good. No one is explicitly signing up for Netflix for God Particle. Original content is important, but their biggest advertising platform is welcome page when you log into Netflix.com. But they have plenty of money, so a $2 Million ad is a drop in the bucket and that kind of push might get directors to work with them who otherwise wouldn't.

Looking for a good comedy feature to read. Any recs?

For those interested in the nuances of telling a good story, check out this week's series in the LA Times on an Orange County relationship gone bad. Perfect example of storytelling that gets you to lean in and find out what happened next. http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-dirty-john/

Most of Pilar's podcasts are really great. This one I heard over the weekend I found particularly good for beginning comedy tv/film writers: http://onthepage.libsyn.com/523-the-comic-heros-journey

Another good storytelling approach that has valuable lessons for screenwriters: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/10/04/how-we-found-tom-prices-private-jets-215680

Fall network tv season officially starts today. I'll start a section in chit-chat in case anyone still has a TV that gets those channels.

Hope NBC renews Trial & Error tomorrow. Should do a Crocodile Dundee 2, and have the group's next case be in NY.

Anybody interested in that Scriptbook thing - I got one and talked about it on Twitter. @RobBurke_Jr

If want to write network pilots, you should be reading Ashish's Runway Series every Thursday for the next 4 weeks: http://www.tracking-board.com/the-runway-your-2017-pilot-survival-guide-nbc-dramas/

Kinda fun to also follow Deadline's "buzz" articles. By the end of pilot season, Nellie basically just lists every pilot as likely to get picked up. http://deadline.com/2017/04/pilots-2017-more-early-buzz-1202071998/

I'm doing the network comedy pilots again this year on Tuesdays. I'm thinking of doing a 2,000 word essay on why "Modern Family" is the perfect network pilot, though. http://www.tracking-board.com/the-runway-your-2017-pilot-survival-guide-nbc-comedies/

A lot of people really liked the passengers script (myself included). Nerdwriter has a very interesting take.
-
Any box office experts here-- Passengers is nearing 300 million world wide--is that a hit? What is the likely profit? Not sure how it all breaks down after advertising and theater split. I imagine they will also add a lot more money from streaming and other revenue.

There's something crushingly confusing about reading great specs and learning from them, only to see them actualized in the theaters and get railed over by audiences and critics alike. Read: Nobody. Knows. Anything.

Neil Turitz's articles on Tracking Board are genius. I love this guy, and hope he gets more exposure in 2017 for all his excellent work.
