I know. I never expected to like a One Direction song either.

Too funny. I actually heard that song in my head while reading it. Surprisingly, it works in parts.

I feel like in the 90's the stories were at least there. Terminator 2 had great FX, but also a decent story. This is why I don't go see these kinds of movies anymore. No heart.

This is pretty great argument as to why we should demand better movies than Jurassic World http://birthmoviesdeath.com/2015/06/25/movies-should-be-good

@Axalon That article made my day better. Thank you for sharing it.

*cents. Sorry.

And I agree with what you're saying. Dream on and write on!

haha. figures I would screw up the spelling late at night

Just saw it. Thought it was okay.

The pilot competition will start in the Spring of 2015.

Thanks Red.

sbbn I was getting all into the responses and then read yours and started cracking up.

dsjones in fact the judge is the center of this. Im trying tp pull of a sort of irony that will connect in the coming scene.

as for dallas buyers clubs i have been anxious to take some time out of my busy life to catch that flick. Seems great.

Where do you see that?

On the list's homepage, there's a paragraph that says the following details are given for each winning script: author, logline, and rep info. I'm not seeing loglines, either...

"To access the 2016 Young & Hungry List, click the red links below. The 2016 Young & Hungry List comes in two flavors: Young & Hungry and By The Numbers. The Young & Hungry List contains the information on each writer selected, including projects, bios and rep info."

Everyone raves that it's great for reading screenplays BUT BUT BUT I would wait if I were you because rumor is they are coming out with iPad mini 2 later this year, significantly upgraded display and supposedly a hefty price cut. I'm going to pick up the iPad mini but I'm waiting until 2 comes out.

I love the larger screen of the original but then I use it for writing in the park

Or you can wait for new iPad to come out to get current iPad for cheaper (refurbished). Either way might be good idea to wait for new models to hit. Mini too small for me but as sbbn says others love it.

Downward Dog (ABC) and Crushed (Hulu) are both decent reads...

thanks

Nice one. Also recommend Pressfield's War of Art.

I'll be bold as bold is and say a screenwriter shouldn't love movies, but critical entertainment.

SPOILER

When Frank and Claire have a three-way with the secret service guy...I just...I could not stop laughing. So over the top.

Uhm...thanks.

I said spoiler!

Why is it on lock-down? It has been slower lately...

It's crazy how scripts are on lock down. QT films and Deadpool prove it doesn't affect box office. It's reading Harry Potter books before watching the films. One could argue, especially in my case, reading scripts makes me want to see a movie more!

Deadpool was leaked by the writers on purpose, so not a great example. I think the bigger fear is negative buzz -- like with Aloha, well ahead of release, due to the Sony hack. If a script is still under development and gets out there, it could slow development process.

CB that is great, Ill be keeping that in mind

Hate that guy, love his quote

No. You need to do your own research, however.

Enjoyed Ozark, probably my top so far.

ummm.. bunker hill is challenging, which is a certain kind of top for building fortitude with influence.

Hannibal was decent for network fare.

I Second tyrant

thanks guys!

Honestly, I think the immediate impact is felt, but within a year the new design will still have the same amount of sales & projects in development.

They probably aren't abandoning pilot season as much as spreading it out a little. Reilly says something like this every year, but the fact is they still need to participate in the upfronts with everyone else and lock in their ad sales.

yep. until everyone goes the way (that truthfully TV is going) up fronts & ads will dictate their "seasons".
