  1. Blacklist read recommendations? Usually it's pretty easy for me to find scripts on the list that impress but this time, after quite a few false starts, I've been struggling to find anything I want to read (or, if I did read, glad that I did).

      i haven't read boomtown, but that title speaks knowledgable individual. it means instant prosperity.

      my advice for writing female protagonists is approach it like you would a man. think about what the sex does in reality and then, learn their metaphors. but exercise caution with those because it's tacky if you do it all the time. you don't want people to be able to predict how your characters will respond.

      foul on me for turning down a bargain like that. but staying at home on the internet, i feel like i’m making the right choice all the way to the bank.

      i’m kinda the same way after reading hundreds of scripts. bored now that the novelty’s worn off. we’re both on a pay for admission script sharing website everyday, so i figure that’s the lowest common denominator between us. it makes sense we’d speak the same language in that regard. i’m almost embarrassed by how few films i’ve seen at the theater this year, though, but time well spent working on other blind spots. there’s a cheap-o theater near my house. $6.50 a ticket. i know. technica...

      i find if you exert yourself to complete any script, you get some dulcet mileage out of it. what they call a windfall.

      the blacklist. i got it for $10 round black friday. i for one think that's a sweet deal for 15 hours of entertainment.

      and for the record, you can tell with qt's un-innovative style i.e., no cgi. that only a pimp's degree in blocking can tell what this movie looks like.

      the best way to digest tarantino is as a white belt, which i did, but now i'm kind of more worldly as it were and less impressed by him and more impressed by others. and to your first point, i'm just going off the fyc draft which is longer. but yeah me, i'm not buying this one. sell sell sell.

      no i didn't. the script was a huge letdown for me. i thought maybe he'd go through a re-write and clean up the material, but it's pretty much the same thing. basterds is my favorite script, but this wasn't on the same level by comparison and that disappoints me.

      i'll take that, but this internet thing has to be bigger for kids growing up today than it was ten fifteen years ago, because i remember the previews for the prequels from tv with yoda being cg and that was a big thing, and so to skip over tv advertising completely (as is my case) i would think definitely has to say a lot about today's cyber culture and what young people and the people who make blockbusters think of itas.

      i do live in the usa and mostly watch comedy central, tbs, fx, and nat geo. i just thought it was the oddest thing for a movie that scale to not have any trailers. i guess it's just me. i saw a trailer for the forest and was like that won't come out for another month, and then i was like hold it, stars wars comes out next week and i haven't seen anything about it on tv. i was starting to think star wars was too cool for tv and that the internet has now become the best way to adver...
