  1. Cant access TB chat via ipad. Chat room says "Please wait while we load the chatroom..." Any help TB?

      We've had hit and miss issues with this problem. Some load perfectly fine... others stall out in the "loading screen". Let me hit up our IT guys and see what they have to say.

      My ipad will run the chat fine -- unless our baby monitor is on. Then it struggles.

      The skeleton scene in Jason and The Argonauts is STILL amazing.

      How can you not love that title? Sounds like a biopic of my life.

      As someone who was part of the first one of these - it's a pretty cool process seeing your script go to the big screen. I don't like this premise at all - but interested to see what they end up cobbling together.

  9. Anyone tried this spec site? http://www.spekkter.com/

      Looks like it applies the whole Tinder/Swipe Right thing to loglines. Better make sure your logline is killer, if you're going to use this.

       

      Also, Apple only? It's 2015. Android has 81% market share. I mean, there's not even a web interface. Come on.

      Found Helgeland and Frank both generous and insightful. And Kaufman's heartfelt cry to follow your idiosyncratic bliss just rocked. Looking forward to the others.
