Predictions, predictions. Where's my frackin' jetpack?!

I do. And I think Lucas is right. It's already $25 for an Imax 3D ticket.

From the lips that brought you Indy 4 and SW prequels so take with grain of rock salt. Outside massive inflation, $50 - $150 is ludicrous. Movies aren’t live entertainment. If they cost that much people won’t go & spend said $50-$150 on live entertainment. It’s supply & demand, like any other business. If demand falls, prices go down, not up.

In Soviet Russia, Padre reads you!

works on firefox

sbbn, I'm on Chrome also, and it worked fine for me the few times I've used it, FWIW.

The Guggs, Jones, The Guggs...

I'm interested in your Walking Dead spec. PM me, eh?

Thanks abcme - I went with a HANNAH meets AVENGERS type of story world.

That's super cool! It's fun to see how everyone interprets the logline.

If it's a 2 story IMAX screen? Yes, see it in IMAX. I saw it in regular but have seen enough films in regular and IMAX (you're welcome WB) to compare: the film's amazing in regular but the sheer addition of scale will make it a more immersive experience. You will feel engulfed by space. My vote: IMAX 3D. (oh and snag me a poster or three if you do the midnight showing.)

i can't wait to see this. And it's my birthday October 4th? omg will I be buying the herb and smoking it before I watch Gravity to get the full on "freak out" experience? hmmmmmmmmm I can't wait to see this!

But will it do well on dvd or even make it to TV? 90 minutes of running out of air won't translate to these media.

exponential growth in terms of quality and story.

Thanks, DS. I'll check it out.

that sounds like a fantastic combo-- looking forward to that!!

Kidneys' the wrong color though.

Does anyone really read any mainstream comics these days? And I'm sorry, but the idea of reading "digital comics" online holds no desire from me... Only the Fantagraphics type stuff is interesting. Ahh, I remember when an afternoon of hustlin' deposit money on pop bottles with a buddy could yield an inch high stack of comic books and a few candy bars. A true cliffhanger? Psspt! More likely some stunt with a character's sexuality or whatever's the "new"...

I'm still holding out for KAMANDI!

Jiblings -Ha!

Zack Snyder should be what everyone is complaining about.

ledger was the best joker ever. i don't think affleck will be able to pull that off. granted, he's definately getting his mojo back, but truthfully i can't buy in until i see him in action in cape, cowl, gloves, and boots which probably won't pass until the trailer.

Did you get a chance to read the script or is was watching it your first exposure to the material?

Watching was first exposure to the material - I have a copy on my tablet but I deliberately held off reading it.

How long before someone makes a Pacific Rimjob porn spoof?

We've all been thinking it Jiblings, it's only a matter of time.

Jiblings - we literally discussed this as we left. Specific Rimjob was the best thing I've got.

Also, the flick was very enjoyable. Lots of eye candy.

Please, God, please. It's been too long since I've seen Jack Bauer choke someone for information. I need my 24 fix!

NOOOOOOOOOO!

Shocked & sad.

Couldn't believe it when I heard last night. Totally shocking. RIP my friend. May your work be an inspiration to others, now and forever.

he was sober for 23 years at one point - it's a lifelong illness to be sure

that is an amusing thought!

whatever parts of Section 6 are actually factual and historical (while connected to bond) should be fair game. right?

dsjones - you are correct but more than that, just become something is similar doesn't make it a copyright violation. Among the numerous examples, look at the atrocious film Mac and Me.

Honestly, having kids and searching for missing kids at school before, I'm not sure Prisoners is for me.

Understandable Opie, I have a daughter and I know where you're coming from on this. I've followed the progress of this script for so long I feel invested in it and having read it I know what to expect.

Eager to hear about Gravity, even though I've experienced that as well.

Well . . . didn't have no spanish in there initially. At least not until I got into my third bottle of tequila. Now there's a bad guy in the script who calls himself QUESO HOMBRE. He squirts out cheese from his ear holes to form little cheese ball gnomes who have a taste for the flesh.

Oh noooooo. The cheeese. I'm on page 46 of Fury. Pretty damn good.

It's pretty by the numbers, in Sgt Rock comic book beats, and I can see the crowd go wild for the new (and gettin' old fast) ultra-blood splatter effect that I felt started in the last Rambo and much overplayed in The Walking Dead. So many typos, I think perhaps they are there for a reason, to ferret out leakers with some typo-code??? But, I enjoyed it.

i did when they first announced but pretty much forgot until I saw that post on the homepage. They have to have a ton of scripts by now, its been open for like 6 months

yikes...i missed this one. Though, I really wasn't paying attention at all. But, next year, i'm all over this! Good luck to everyone who entered!

No he didn't Axalon. I just found Stringer's comment amusing.

I thought he looked terrible.

Yeah I guess his forehead was wrinkle free, smoother than a babies ass, but we've all seen worse celebs out there.

It just sucks that innovation in this relatively new sub-genre is getting neutered by companies like Disney.

Tony Stark should have dealt with alcoholism in Iron Man 3 as it would have complimented his PTSD perfectly. But Disney, from what I heard, decided to forgo this route because it was too adult.

Well what the hell then? Why am I going to see these movies? There's only so much you can do with action scenes and frankly when it comes to that department there real...

Mike: I actually really enjoyed Thor. It was the only Marvel movie to really have character development (aside from Iron Man - which was to a smaller degree) where the character starts one way and learns humility - and where the villain actually has development of his own. None of the other Marvel films really had that. I just really enjoyed that aspect and the story, while not ground breaking, was entertaining. I just want to be entertained. Now, given the fact that Thor 2 is being directed...

I was tired of superhero movies ever since Batman Forever ...

I highly doubt Steven Spielberg would value the opinion of someone like Carson Reeves.

His review of Sniper cut to the heart of the script's problems. For better or worse SS reviews reach execs. Which is why August and co get so mad about them.

Agree, dsjones. SS's "prized material" always tanks at the b.o. -- i.e. EVERYTHING MUST GO, SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD, and there was another (or two) I'm forgetting. Let the execs ponder that.

Part 4 we're going into space.

Part 5: Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar . . . doesn't matter, Liam's gonna f you up, it was HIS cookie biatch.

I'd rather have his cookie taken than his daughter AGAIN. That will be verging on Season 1 of 24 record of how often your daughter can get kidnapped.

Axalon, I agree. And Deb shooting LaGuerta, although surprising, just felt so wrong and un-Deb and just set the wrong tone for the following season.

the show needed to end with Dex dying to protect Deb - showing he was capable of love - and Deb becoming "Harry" to Harrison, teaching him the code as he was exhibiting Dex's traits...

What a piece of shit. I feel like I wasted yrs of my life... Worst possible ending

ddollar: says the man who wrote a biopic i can't wait to see

Mysterian: agreed on Tyler Perry. Is there anyway we can send his ass to hell...NOW?! smh

The news of the Alice in Wonderland Louis Carroll biopic was the last straw. I just stopped caring.

Dinobot...TERRORIZE!

...We are doing a Beast wars bit right?

Kept under wraps, but said to be in the vein of WORLD WAR Z and the "EASY" button from STAPLES.

Jaco, I actually laughed out loud at that.

Jaco, I heard it was going to be The Purge meets the Bourne series, with a twist of Die Hard. The producers said they need time to "flesh" it out.
