    I'm curious - is it as unsurprising to others that Need for Speed underperformed analyst expectations? I've been tracking it because it seemed like expectations were overblown from day 1 (it was definitely not under-marketed).

      NFS was all about INTL. It will do great (is doing great) and watch them announce a sequel soon. 100 million all in and it will do 150-200 worldwide. It did kind of tank here though.

    Watching a show about mental health issues and emotional disorders is interesting and all but I'll admit I do miss the days when Homeland was about the CIA and espionage.

      Wow. Now I'm feeling insecure and questioning my man hood because I still completely effing love it. Agree about the Dana stuff and the tool that played her boyfriend, but I'm loving everything Patinkin and his insane plans.

    Any thoughts on shopping agreements? Good/bad/otherwise

      So what's a shopping agreement? Giving someone control of a property "to shop it exclusively" for some window of time?

      What the hell is a shopping agreement? Isn't that basically what an option is since most options are for beer money anyway? Please elaborate if you know.

    According to Gahgan, this is an old screenwriting expression: "Shall we have him pet the dog?" First, has anyone actually heard that expression before? Second, what the eff does that mean?? (and if you're speculating, fine but please say so, and if you have source, please provide)

      It's also called "save the cat" which Blake Snyder re-coined with his screenwriting book of the same name. Protag does something that makes us like him right off the bat. I read Safe House (orig spec) recently and laughed out loud when the protag literally helps an old lady struggling with her groceries on page four. He "saved the cat"
