Jiblings - water cooler talk among the people who keep track of this kind of thing. I guess it has to do with pre-sales and tracking.

Killer Joe is the top of my list. Probably get out to support Celeste and Jesse sometime soon. THOUGH. Next weekend should be big.

track field starts this weekend. i won't be watching anything *BUT* that...though i may try and see a few movies: Beasts of the Southern Wild, Total Recall and Bourne Legacy will be playing here this week and next so i'll try and check them out...

We are lucky that we bought a house on higher ground.

Something I'd advise people to always consider when house hunting... Acts of God.

Or just buy an ark.

Sorry to hear Stay safe!

Wow...sad news. Not just for Nolan but all these people that lost their homes.

Hope anybody affected is okay.

That means he "passed".

I was lucky he didn't leave one of his scripts behind.

def a "PASS" lol

Pretty funny.

DEATH F*CKING PRINTER:- THE ATLANTIC TAPES, VOLUME 1: EXECUDERE NOS CONFIDIMUS!

I. Smell. Oscar.

Said to be in the vein of "American History X" meets "The Son of Rambow" - a powerful tale of religious zealotry through the eyes of children.

Fools. Everyone knows Hellmouth is in Sunnydale.

YUP! Sunnydale truly did suck ...didn't it?

Amazon is a toddler who is swimming out into the deep end without any idea how to swim. Their Zombieland pilot proved that they aren't ready.

Luckily Japanese engineers have started to build a mech, y'know, to keep things balanced.

That, the bees, and Franken-seeds, things are gittin' mighty weird...

oh that story is *TOTALLY* writing itself! Could this be the film that, if made, gets Derek Luke *BACK* on the A-/B+ list?

I read the entire manifesto thanks to anonymous. I didn't think it was that "poorly written"it came off as way more intelligent than I expected.

It does seem like something ripped right out of a movie.

Already copyrighted Black Rambo last week.

Haha. And you shouldnt. It's your language, we're just borrowing it. And abusing it. Did you think about going 'home' for the Olympics? Evidently, a lot of empty seats - which is just wrong.

Nothing wrong with it - just don't here many people in the States referring to "adverts" on the tele.

Yes the verts are pretty terrible.

Saw it. A friend leaned over and whispered: "It's the equivalent of a 12-year old virgin writing bondage porn". It was pretty posturing.

My DRIVE comparison is in the fact that the marketing for Drive promised Fast and the Furious and packed theaters with moviegoers expecting that, but the result was more of an "art house" film, if you will. Same thing here. A lot of folks went expecting HEAT or MIAMI VICE but instead got something totally different, thus the "F" Cinemascore.

Just looked it up. DRIVE got a "C-" Cinemascore. Not quite an "F" but still, audiences disliked it. It was my favorite movie of 2011. Pretty much everyone I recommended it to (friends, FB, Twitter) hated it. So yeah, I think the analogy applies.

Nessy pics? Where?

Coming soon... anyone interested in partaking :-) Haha!

Make it male-on-male and I'll get my camera.

Joseph: oh my! I want to watch too!

that has to be an enormous cat

bahahahahaha

Wow.

That's incredible

Oh my god, we can get sued for writing flat characters and cliche metaphors? I need to call my lawyer

Ha!

there's no need to consult a firm, just google torrentz or demonoid...

I remember the script being entertaining, but the film ended up being a steaming pile.

I don't really know anything about AS. I know the person offering me the gig. There would be no reason to hire me unless they were producing and selling content.

Do it sanguine!

How does the offer compare to your current employ? I worked at Amazon (as e-commerce in Seattle) and there were a lot of smart folks there.

Haha. ohh the irony.

IH8-VNTPLTS

This proves that Karma is a bitch.

Logline: A presidential debate gets hijacked by terrorists and it's up to 5 audience members to save the candidates. The theme of the movie is "Don't mess with Jason Statham." Starring Jason Statham, Nic Cage, Jennifer Lawrence, Rosie O'donnel and Christopher Lloyd.

The photo = LOL. Why are they so young?

Univ. of Denver students. They just keep getting younger and younger.

Just IMO, with the "aspiring screenwriting climate" the way it has been as of late, everyone is on the lookout for scams and ripoffs. In the words of Jamie Kennedy, EVERYBODY'S A SUSPECT!

It's hilarious to me how so many people have this notion that, in the writing world, the word "intern" -- which, in this case, barely even applies -- is somehow a powerful incentive…

Either it's a scam and there was a prior relationship that got the person the internship and CAA. Or the company is run by morons who didn't do a background check on someone they were attaching their names to in a press release. Either way.

The stories about the abuse he took from Paramount on GI Joe are incredible. At least he was talented enough to turn out a releasable film.

I didn't hear about this?...I just remember really liking Stewart Beattie's first draft back when it was Delta Force.

The first film tested really well. Unfortunately for Sommers the phrase "tested better than both Transformer movies combined" got repeated a lot. Suddenly, a rumor appears on Don Murphy's message board that Sommers has been fired and the film is a disaster. It all played out so publicly it was kind of amazing. I've never seen a studio work so hard to sabotage a film in the home stretch.

@Frobisher - what actor had two big budget movies open and underperform in the same weekend against a low budget horror film?

Oh wow I didn't realize he voiced Turbo...oh no Ryan...

Ouch...
