Man, Passengers cannot catch a break. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/keanu-reeves-passengers-taken-calendar-688517

As great as so much television is these days, and as addictively as I tune in to some of it, I tend not to re-watch it. Yet I do re-watch movies. I'm curious if others have similar tendencies. And thoughts on why that is (or isn't). Assuming this is the case for others, is it something as simple as production value? Or does it go deeper? Does it have to do with the story mechanics? Like, in order to go on this 2 hour journey, movies are super-compressed with idea and emotion, and...

Sent out the rewrite. Tis a better script!

Even if you're not a fan of biopics, this one looks like it has a story worth telling

What's the deal with OWAs? Can someone explain?

Philip Seymour Hoffman. That is all.

Just posted the review in W-I-P for the lowest rated Black List script I've ever seen. (HINT: It's mine).

恭贺新禧!

Looks like Penelope called this one... http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/tarantino-sues-gawker.php

I, Frankenstein...Tomorrow when the war began...What the HELL happened to the Stuart Beattie of Collateral and the first Pirates movie?!

Waiting to get your coverage back is an awful, awful wait.

Know of any scripts that have a serious tone where one character has a profound admiration for the main character like Shawshank Redemption?

Just wondering what is up with people asking for screeners for films that are currently in the theaters. I mean, can't people spend the 10 bucks and support our industry?

I know I haven't been around much lately, but I never seem to catch the moment when people are in chat anymore. So my question is, when are you guys most likely to be around? It's been too long.

How I Used The Black List to Sell My First Script and Find Representation in Less Than a Month, by @thelastsouthpaw http://buff.ly/18zfvpZ

I've posted my own "2013 List" in the Lists page. I invite all to rave about what they read and experienced this year!

Nice going, Double-D! http://www.tracking-board.com/a-boy-and-his-tiger-sales/

Query sent. Query accepted! Fingers crossed!

Congrats to all the Y&H writers!

James Cameron isn't lying when he says that Gravity is the best space film ever made. Simple plot, lean and effective - nice use of theme, music's intense and it's a nail biter. But the visuals, my god. Several members of the audience who partook of herb were freaking out. I can't imagine what they saw but what I saw was beautiful.

Hey Castor! Thanks for the invite but I have to bow out. Didn't know it was a money league and my cash flow is f****d up out to the near future. Sorry and thanks again.

The World's End is the most fun I've had at the movies in a loooooooong time. I loved it.

Fun stuff - short I wrote is playing at the Bootleg Film Festival in NYC on 9/17. Nice little write up about it: http://www.bootlegfilmfestival.com/2013/08/bootleg-in-focus-love.html

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