Anyone see Killing Them Softly? Is it really ‘F’ CinemaScore worthy?

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.

I laughed out loud at The Black List "but we didn't know he was our intern" press release.

A chunk of Nolan's sets got washed away in the Canadian flooding.

It's really disturbing that the people in the theater shooting in Colorado thought the gunman was part of the marketing.

A neighbor has somehow attached his computer to my wireless printer. And of course it's script pages.

Sometimes you wake up and find yourself working on a David Fincher movie. Yikes.

I think Ryan Reynolds just became the answer to a trivia question.

Anyone else thinking of this Christopher Dorner story in terms of act breaks? Or am I the only horrible human being?

A 1/3 of all US movie ticket buyers have dropped off the grid this weekend? Anyone here actually planning on seeing anything?

A guy bumped my chair in a restaurant today and lifted my laptop case without me noticing. It ended up in lost and found when all he found were scripts inside.

Reading a script where "asthma" has been repeatedly been spellchecked to "Satan".

I'll admit it. I saw Hansel & Gretel.

i admit i saw it too and the makeup/special effects team needs an Oscar for making Jeremy Renner look GOOD AS HELL! Like, seriously! Them folks need a statute cause that was a difficult task they did WELL AT! Gemma was worth it. She wasn't naked but in enough tight, form fitting clothes to make the entire 88 minute film almost bearable...

Anyone else watching the Olympics and finding the primetime show adverts more embarrassing than usual?

Reading the WGA press release about the deal with Amazon Studios. It had this phrase: "plant our flag in that rich and amorphous land called new media." Sometimes it's easy to hate writers.

It might help if the WGA were to acknowledge that the amorphous "new media" realm has come a long way since the strike FIVE YEARS AGO. You know, to actually try to fight the studios (and other companies, like Amazon, Netflix, whoever) from treating creatives like slave labor because, "no one knows how to make a profit yet from the internet space." Apparently, all of those ads on Hulu, Youtube, and every other streaming site are purchased with sawdust and dreams.

Had a conversation about how to judge if your film is a flop or not. It took weeks for someone to bother to post a pirated copy of The Raven on the internet.

Someone emailed me a network draft of something and all the "T's" are missing.

I got a job offer from Amazon Studios. Debating.

One of the worst scenes to find in a reshoot? The SUMMATION SCENE where one actor explains to another actor the previous 100 minutes because the movie makes no sense.

Seen Kevin Smith's "Red State?" The long epilogue, aka "John Goodman explains what happened in the climax," felt like Kevin Smith was trying to do the Coen Bros. (e.g., ending of No Country). It was awkward. But if this film is Smith's transition into challenging himself to do more complex films, then it's a nice start.

Let's not forget the psychiatrist in Psycho.
And while we're at it, let's honor TV's mini-version of this scene, which usually begins with the crusty police boss saying, "Let me get this straight. You're tell me a dead body/pound of heroin/bag of gold was found in a school locker/deserted warehouse/clown's anus etc."

If it were a screenplay the final act of the Bradley Manning Story would cause a reader's head to explode.

With the Endeavour landing today, I'm looking forward to the onslaught of space shuttle scripts. Big heist or carrying a killer virus or rebooted to fight aliens or...

I like the idea that somewhere Stephen Sommers is sitting with his feet propped up drinking a mai tai.

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.

Was reading the box office report for the weekend and almost did a spit take when I saw Paramount was claiming JOE cost $50mil.
-
It's that time of the year. Have the readers for Nicholl managed to reach the $25 mark this time around?
-
Just read a script where the writer spellchecked the word "prodigies" into "porridges". The word "porridges" is now in the title.
