  1. So I ended up winning best comedy feature at Austin. I'm still trying to process the whole experience, but I can't say enough good things about the festival!

  4. Thanks to netflix, I just watched Rambo for the first time. Pretty fun film, can't believe I've never seen it.

      Which ever the first film is ... probably first blood.

  5. My wife and I started a podcast about the Criterion Collection. There's a post in the Works In Progress section if you're interested.

  6. Besides The Office, Workaholics and Parks and Rec, what are the names of some really good/really solid workplace tv comedies, dramas. and also dramedies?

  7. Very happy I don't want to read the Ghostbusters script.

  8. Oh man, MR. ROBOT officially has jumped the shark. Increasingly uneven and increasingly disappointing.

  9. What happened to Mickey Rourke's face?!?!

  10. Holding my breath until the Launch Pad announcements tomorrow...

      I believe a lot of the exteriors are shot in snoqualmie Washington

      After a brisk rain. The pages will get wet.

  16. And what about fantasy football? Another go?

  17. Those of you who have a writing partner, what methods do you typically use? For example, do you write together in the same room?

      My partner and I brainstormed a breakdown, and then I went away and wrote the first draft. After that we got together and tore down and rewrote it in the same room.

  18. I know you hated it Jiblings. Characters were thin and it was riddled with cliches and plot holes, but even then, movie theaters were made for Jurassic World. True Blockbuster. Took me back to the 90s.

  19. True Detective season 2: ugh.

      Half way through, my wife told me she doesn't want to watch any more of it.

  20. Maybe I'm the only one, but my dad wanted to see Jurassic World, and holy shit what a horrible hodge lodge of cliche and stereotype. I guess story takes a far back seat to CGI. Even the comedic moments of levity fell flat. In short I thought it sucked big time, and I guess I just don't understand the appeal.

  21. has anyone recived their confirmation of entry for the launchpad pilot comp? Haven't received mine yet. A bit worried.

      I received mine about a week after I submitted.

  22. Favorite films or scripts with just a few locations?

      I was popping in to say Moon, but it looks like I was beaten to the punch.

  23. A few episodes into Sense8 and compelled to watch more, though I can't explain why. Anyone else hooked? Payoff(s) worth the investment?

    1. aphid47

      I watched the pilot and was bored senseless. There are so many great shows I still haven't watched that I can't justify sticking through ten hours of mediocrity. If it turns out great let me know, otherwise I've moved on.

  24. Do any of you writers use outlining software, or do you typically just stick with Word?

    1. aphid47

      I find when I handwrite (which I do sometimes for first draft screenplays) my writing is more succinct and there's a lot less fluff to be excised.
