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

      Brooklyn Weaver declined to even open my script based on logline. (8/10 Black List, TB High Consider)

       

      Michael Botti ignored my charming message, praising the work he did with Dan.

       

      Two weeks later I'm signed by the most prestigious talent agency in Europe whose clients include James Bond himself.

       

      Didn't cost me a penny either. Perhaps that's where I went wrong.

       

      Best wishes, guys!

  2. Wow. Things REALLY HAVE slowed down / tightened up 'round here. Is the golden age of "sharing" over?

      This place has been dead for new specs for over a year and I know several valued members who are looking unlikely to renew.

       

      Disappointing.

  3. My sister got the job on Twin Peaks! It's a dream job for her, since we've been huge David Lynch fans since we were young.

  4. I thought the Dalton Trumbo screenplay was amazing. The trailer looks great: http://www.tracking-board.com/trumbo-trailer-bryan-cranston-helen-mirren-louis-c-k/

  5. Looks like I made the first cut for this year's Nicholl.

  6. Received a "consider" on another project from TB Coverage. Time to start rewriting!

  7. True Detective season 2: ugh.

  8. I would adapt the hell out of a StarFox game....Please Nintendo Netflix relationship. Please.

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

  10. Snuck in my pilot just before the launch pad deadline.

  11. Just recieved a consider from TB for my pilot. Hoping umpteenth time's the charm.

  12. Finished the latest draft of my spec. It's out to a few management companies who enjoyed my first spec. Fingers crossed!

      I've no doubt you'll smash it out of the park, WS.

       

      Good luck!

      Sounds good, CB. But are many of our former colleagues even still members here..?

      Silicon Valley is great fun.

       

      I need to catch up on last season's Veep and Louie.

  16. Any opening credit sequence montages that you liked?

    1. Elliott79

      Elliott79

      I watched the 2014 Godzilla recently. The credit sequence was really cool, it was like a redacted military reel about H-bomb testing etc.

  17. Best scripts with narration? Looking for a true masterclass in how narration should be executed. Prefer examples that are actually available here but whatever. Bring it!

  18. Brain-fail on the film.. something like.."It must feel good to be right all the time." Paraphrasing respons: "No, not really" Was it BROADCAST NEWS? Anyway, welcome to my shit-ass bullshit fuck of a day.

      Grandma, you promised you'd stop posting on TB!

  19. REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE writer Stewart Stern died yesterday. Had the pleasure of studying with him. A true titan.

  20. Citizenfour is incredible and should be seen by everyone

  21. Jake G. was robbed.

  22. I found Inherent Vice extremely underwhelming.

      I loved it.

       

      The plot isn't supposed to make sense. You try following the leads for about fifteen minutes then just give up and go with it. It places you right in JP's head.

       

      I died laughing when he wrote the helpful clue "something Spanish" in his pad.

       

      PTA's movies always reveal more on further viewings.

  23. So I have a Star Wars theory - JJ is going to kill Han Solo.

  24. I know this is a dead topic...but the more I think about it, it must be said: Interstellar is a complete mess.

      ^^ Absolutely, Spec_Writer. I almost wrote the exact same response.
