  1. I wrote a rambling, self-indulgent, reddit-esque post in Chit Chat about why I hate the Hit List and the Black List

      And yes, I used a clickbaity title. I hate myself for that. But titles get eyeballs, right?

      andrew you are the mack daddy pimp for getting married. i do legal and nothing works from what i've learned in screenwriting. sense of a word, forget it. i love the hitlist and blacklist for its praise of storytelling. i don't know where else to find pimp shit.

  2. The editors of Making a Murderer deserve a lifetime achievement Emmy.

      Thank god for those two decent and very competent men, otherwise I would have completely lost faith in mankind. Or at least the justice system.

  3. Today I'm watching Black Mirror while getting my work done. I wonder what ratings a US version would get?

      Things to love about Black Mirror: strong production design; exploring the intersection of sex, relationships and technology; an always satisfying and retrospectively inevitable conclusion; great musical score

      New episodes being made on netflix next year

  4. The annual Top 25 Films video by David Ehrlich always gets me excited again for movies https://vimeo.com/194508152

      Thanks for sharing this!

  5. Kind of an interesting read on how producers approach movies: https://thearcmag.com/what-its-like-to-be-a-movie-producer-edca96967123#.5pyy7a99f

      As a producer, I completely agree!

       

  6. People of Earth on TBS is a 10/10 for me. Great fit for the network. Pilot is up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1mTImmx6Jk

      If you have Xfinity, eps 2 and 3 are already up Xfinity Go.

  7. Not for everyone, and incredibly depressing, but James White is streaming on Netflix now. Great movie.

      Christopher Abbott should be (will be?) the next Mark Ruffalo. Such a natural and emotive actor.

  8. Finally watched Room on Amazon Prime. Great story, wonderful acting. On the script side, master class in set ups and payoffs (the bad tooth, the long hair, "i pick for both of us", the shed)

      Totally agree with you. The book is a good read as well.

  9. Bored? Check out my pilot spec -- Newport News -- uploaded to Amazon Studios: http://bit.ly/Jy8oe7. Throw it some review stars to get it on the front page if you're feeling generous (#shameless)

  10. AV Club reminded me how much I love the Aliens in America tv show. Here's the pilot script for other fans: http://www.zen134237.zen.co.uk/Aliens_In_America_1x01_-_Pilot.pdf

  11. Posted some thoughts on early tv pickups in the Review section of the forum. Would be interested to hear others' opinions as well.

  12. “Remember what Bogie and my mother both used to say: ‘Character is the most important thing. All that matters is character!’ ” - Lauren Bacall

  13. Starting mini-reviews of NBC comedies in the Coverage section; I call out a writer for misinformation on "The Graduate"; Go Bears!

  14. I finished mini-reviews for all available ABC comedies (anyone have Irreversible or Saint Francis?) Most likely to go to series -- cast contingent, of course -- are Unt Kevin Hart (fka Keep it Together), The Winklers and either Strange Calls or Fresh Off the Boat.

  15. Added all of MISFIRE to the W-I-P post. If you read it, post your thoughts. It's good for me to grow a thick skin.

  16. If you're interested in the creation of 80s/90s sitcoms, Barry Katz's podcast is a must listen. Matt Williams interview is my favorite so far. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/industry-standard-w-barry/id672873590?mt=2

  17. Embarrassed to say my favorite of Ted's comedy uploads was "Wendell & Vinnie." Maybe some of the network comedies will be better.
