unless you're writing their idea for them for free

I saw this earlier this week and thought the same thing in how it compares to this industry. It's not exactly the same but there are similarities. Like creating a story all on your own then having to sell all it's rights if you want to get a movie made.

yeah, personally i wouldn't do that, jibs. now if i'm a whiz and i can bang it out in four days, it wouldn't phase me though.

There was one shot which looked 2D, and that was the first shot of Rivendell, when they were all looking at it from a distance. It looked exactly like they were standing in front of a 2D painted backdrop. Not sure why that one shot was so bad.

Yes, I've been stranded on the dark side since the 60's. I haven't seen any other 3D movies, because A) I'm not really into blockbuster explosion film bullshit and It's a gimmick I think has been added to most films as an after thought. I wanted to experience the film as Peter Jackson intended, and it looked rubbish from beginning to end. The so called advance was a waste of time. I know I'm not the only one who saw the play x2 motion during the film. I've...

run out of space

It's slow all right. I described it to a friend and mentioned how it was a little very closely inspired by other zombie ventures (e.g. the hospital opening of 28DLater), and he asked me what made it unique.

Well, nothing.

But I still kinda like it. Slow-moving, for sure. But some good character stuff.

HUGE fan of the comic series. TV series started great, got REALLY slow for a few episodes, and started picking up steam again the last few eps, going into Sundays finale. Also, I was very pleased to see the finale is kicking off an arc not previously in the comic series, so it's fresh for everyone!

Hate this show. I'm with you jib! Won't be watching Season Two.

I am not a comic book/graphic novel guy, but I thought the pilot was brilliant. Really looking forward to seeing it on-screen.

You'll have to wait for Austin - but they're great. Here's a list w/ feedback from Moviebytes -> http://moviebytes.com/directory.cfm

Austin seconded.

No problem. Share and share alike.

thanks ted!

I see what you mean, but actually disagree. Felt like the end of Act 2. Final act; Walt (who has a massive ego and is pretty ruthless) completes his transformation into Heisenberg, Hank catches him. Hank was was never after Gus, Hank wants Heisenberg.

Walt can't walk away without paying the consequences of his actions.

Agreed with Elliot79. There's still much more to be wrapped up and there's no way the series will end with Walt getting away scot-free for everything he's done.

Best of luck!

Good luck, Jiblings!

Contemplating. Good luck to all who have joined the fray. I may join you, hence the first word.

I was surprised to see it on Netflix, if that is indeed the same doc, as it just came out in theaters recently, right? Anyway, it's all about the Morton Downey, Jr. docu, guys, that's the shizzle. :-0

Yeah, same salinger on netflix that was in theaters, that ending with titles of new books seemed so convoluted it torpedoed what would have been a so so film.

Watched it on Netflix last night and am feeling pretty meh. While the information was excellent, the delivery was oh so breathy and over the top. Felt like it was a long episode of TMZ actually. Started playing suduko midway through, just listening instead of watching, and I think that actually improved the film.

Steve Buscemi is so badass in it!

He is perfect for that part.

Yeah. It's a damn good show

my comments were few and far between... sorry. At work.

damn! i just got *done* getting out of the sudden onslaught of work that just landed on my desk after i got back from lunch. boo! next time definitely!

Hey guys - I missed this one, how do I get in on the next?

Where does the chat take place? Is it on Google or here on the TB?

Here on the chat in TB

See anything good? Bad?

Black Swan was fantastic, Bloodworth was ok, got to watch 12 Monkees with David and Janet Peoples with a Q and A afterwards. Hit more conferences than films actually.

You are sorely missed. Good luck with the new gig.

Thanks Mike!

Brilliant story craft!

Five episodes left? Anyone know for sure?

The confession video was a huge mind fuck. Walt has Hank in such a shitty position, that he's screwed no matter what he does.

I just think it's interesting that the feature is here and no one uses it

Too busy listening to Daft Punk

Dustin, I wish more people shared your thought process before they started blogs

Don't get me wrong, loved AD, but this premise was interesting for exactly 3 episodes before it became fairly to mostly lame, and I didn't care anymore.

Dang.....you're correct......

Breaks my heart it got cancelled.

Captain Phillips stays out the storm in his boat and becomes the millionaire co-founder of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Corporation.

Yeah, but to its credit it's left ambiguous. You can't rule out that he's not a droid.

I thought he was assassinated after pushing a remarkable bill through congress.
