    Finally saw Prisoners - totally called what they were going to change with re: the finale. Woot, Woot! Go see it if you haven't already!

      So you're telling me that the ending in the draft on this site is not the ending on the screen? Just want to make sure before I spend $11 and 2.5 hours on this movie instead of football and beer.

      Right on! Right on! I have a theory that architects would be really good at writing scene descriptions b/c they know all the terms for describing structures and rooms.

    Saw a promo for NBC's new series IRONSIDE. I initially thought it was one of those fake Adult Swim commercials.

      @sbbn - I thought the exact same thing. That's why I thought it was an Adult Swim joke.

      I'm guessing that's the demo NBC was going for -- the much coveted Michael Ironside fans.

    While I understand the frustration that must come with getting constantly criticized by such an established fanbase, Orci saying "As I love to say, there is a reason why I get to write the movies, and you don’t." comes off a bit douchey doesn't it? http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Star-Trek-Darkness-Writer-Bob-Orci-Kindly-Tells-Fans-F-k-Off-39385.html

      Orci reminds me of Charlie Sheen, “I already got your money, dude!”

      I think therein lies the problem. A lot of people probably could do better, but will never get the opportunity b/c Hollywood is such an exclusive club with high barriers to entry. Orci could stand to show at least a little humility considering that at least half of all success comes from luck and help from other people.

      He gets to write movies and we don’t b/c he latched on to J.J. Abrams' coat tails while the rest of us bet our futures on a promising up-and-coming director we all believed in named Uwe Boll. Ha-ha!

    Uh oh! J.D. Salinger's got some new books coming out. Paul McCartney and Ringo better hire some bodyguards just in case.

    Not sure why INSTRUCTIONS NOT INCLUDED is such a hit, did THE GAME PLAN dvd not come with a Spanish track or something? haha!

      Fox and Walden are probably rushing a Spanish version of THE TOOTH FAIRY into production as we speak.

    I need to know if anyone's seen a structural paradigm for a one hour TV drama? Like a Blake Snyder beat sheet but for TV. I can't find one, could use help. Thanks!

      Try and find the bible for the show you want to emulate. Some of them lay out the structure each episode should follow.

    Thanks to this Ben Affleck casting decision, children everywhere will be under the impression that when Bruce Wayne isn't masquerading as Batman, he's masquerading as a blind attorney named Matt Murdock who's masquerading as the Daredevil. Haha!

    No. No. No, No, No. No. No.No. No. No, No, No. No. No.No. No. No, No, No. No. No. WHY BEN AFFLECK?!

    'Edge of Tomorrow' (aka 'All You Need is Kill') is going back for reshoots after even more rewriting? How much are you guys planning on butchering this story?

      I think of the Saved by the Bell: The College Years theme song when I hear "edge of tomorrow."

    Say what you will about Damon Lindelof, I think he makes some good points in this: http://www.vulture.com/2013/08/script-doctor-damon-lindelof-on-blockbuster-screenwriting.html

      I agree with sbbn. The script was well written and all, but it didn't seem like Spielberg's kind of thing.

    Analyzed MY FELLOW AMERICANS last night regarding a project I'm developing and, though the humor's a bit dated at times it's a tight, solid comedy.
