Snuck in my pilot just before the launch pad deadline.

Crime Drama Screenplays: Doing early work on a crime drama idea (movie) and I'm looking for great crime drama screenplays. I don't care if they're recent or not. Also doing a "genre study" of sorts too. So, favorite crime drama screenplays and movies. Go!

Does anyone have any comedic mystery script recommendations with good twists and turns?

best corny action line you can come up with, go!

Amazing pilots to study. GO

I'm freaking out. I know this happens all the time, but I am about 1 or 2 months away from finishing a script that has the EXACT SAME CONCEPT as another project that was announced in the trades. I am very proud of this script and feel it is the best thing I have written. But I can already hear the rebuttals, and I don't want to waste my time working on something that seems to be dead out of the gate. What would you guys do?

A potential plot hole in INTERSTELLAR. Why do they need to get the space station off of Earth's surface? I understand that Earth is going to run out of food and oxygen, but space doesn't have food or oxygen either. Why couldn't they seal it and make it a surface space station?

Hard nosed female protagonists that you like. Go.

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!

Ending my last night in LA by going to The Edison. Sweet steampunk themed bar.

so will the new trend be to put "American" in the title of every spec going out?

Nice freelance piece about the brutal world of a struggling writer. Haven't seen any of his films but I do respect the man. http://badassdigest.com/2015/03/02/from-hollywood-to-homeless-the-writer-of-jason-x-and-drive-angry-on-screenw/

Birdman.

Sounds like "Ascending" is the wrong adjective.

How do I #FF Bash for his laser guided notes service? 5 star best ever.

Senior Year = Kickin' It Old Skool. Took me a while to remember but, yeah, switch breakdancing for cheerleading and switch genders. BOOM! Mid-six figures. Not cynical, just pointing out that Hollywood does more recycling than Greenpeace.

Wow, BLACK HAT... what happened?

Apollo 13 is on tv and I'm so close to tears. I fu**ing love that movie.

A nice, inspirational story from Jay Lavender (co-writer of The Break-Up and The Wedding Ringer): http://jaylavender.com/post/107802088632/jeremy-garelick-the-wedding-ringer

I found Inherent Vice extremely underwhelming.

Anyone watch The Interview yet? Worth checking out?

Anyone want to hazard a guess how much money Shonda Rimes earns a year as the world's most successful writer-producer. $10m? $50m?
