TBers who use tablets to read scripts on (iPad, Kindle Fire, Galaxy Tab) How has your experience been with it? Does it hurt your eyes to read off something like that for extended periods of time?

I imagine some of you already saw this one, but here's a pretty cool behind-the-scenes look into the Breaking Bad writers' room: http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2013/08/breaking-bad-writers-room-photos/

This guy is the fucking tits. Studios and prodcos take note.

Thinking of getting a MFA in screenwriting... thoughts?

What do you think the budgetary cut off is for producing a script with unknown/relatively unknown actors? For instance 'Chronicle' was made for $12 million but didn't have any big names attached. At what point would most studios go "okay, we need an A-lister"?
