  1. Hey who will be in Austin? I'll be there and signed up to pitch.

  2. CBC's Baroness von Sketch Show stealing my heart. A female "Kids in the Hall," but the laughs are feeling pretty universal to me. Anyone else?

  3. Inadvertently caught the "ESCAPE/3-screen experience" of Star Trek: Beyond. Gimmicky and annoying. The main screen was smaller, to accommodate the additional left and right "wrap around" screens, and only parts of the film projected on all 3 screens. Not a fan.

  4. I'm in London for the McKee genre seminar and lingering a few extra days. Who needs a pint?

  5. Developing a 5- to 6-minute short that I'll be filming in early June -- something I plan to enter into Sundance and others -- so I'm aiming for high production quality of course. But what are the expectations these days for shorts that get accepted into top festivals?

      Are you on reddit?

      The guy who won the jury prize for his short is on there and he answers questions like this:

      Hiddleston and Cumberbatch I think could both fit the next bond. Personally though, I've always been a fan of Tom Hardy, him and Daniel Craig in Layer Cake, loved that movie. That's why I was happy when they first announced Craig would be the next Bond, because I've been a fan of his and Hardy's for a long time. So, I'd like to see Hardy give it a go now. He'd jazz bond up a bit. Wouldn't mind seeing Kathryn Bigelow give directing Bond a stab either. Whoever direct...

      Or perhaps it's time for Emily Blunt as Bond. She'd kick ass.

  9. So what exactly was satisfying about the Mr. Robot finale?? The whole staff needs to watch The West Wing or Good Wife or Dexter to understand what makes for a compelling cliffhanger. Sorry, the promise of the pilot wholly unfulfilled. Thoughts?

      Felt too much like a watered down Fight Club. But overall, I still enjoyed the season, especially the acting talent. And the music was outstanding.

      I'm kind of amazed how blatant they were about the Fight Club-esque reveal of his father. They treated it like this big reveal even though most people probably figured it out after the first or second episode.

       

      Felt like they should have just acknowledged that his dad was a hallucination from the get-go.

      adlocke, that was true for most eps, especially early, but season finale a dud in that regard.

      @Zoned Welcome aboard! And let me know if current draft time works for you -- tentative but it seems to be working for everyone thus far...

  12. Oh man, MR. ROBOT officially has jumped the shark. Increasingly uneven and increasingly disappointing.

      I can't honestly call a show original and innovative when it's basically a ripoff of the central plan and twists of FIGHT CLUB. I'd say Sam Esmail has MAJOR BALLS for music queuing WHERE IS MY MIND in the final minutes of Episode 9. That was like a giant f**k you to the audience. If the season finale or season 2 doesn't live up to those first nine episodes, the BACKLASH will destroy that show.

      ya hear that mr. robot. when you not special anymore, nobody watchy you. you'll be yesterday's news.

      I wouldn't rank this anywhere near Breaking Bad. And the whole "Luke I'm your father"/"Ewww I'm your sister"/figment of his imagination stuff is not original/groundbreaking. Again, loved the concept, weakening execution.

  13. And what about fantasy football? Another go?

      Love the setting and the mood. I'd watch Colin Farrell fold laundry. I think it was clunky with some of the character introductions, but will get better with a few more episodes.

      I saw this coming a mile off. Season One was often great, but also frustrating, so it was overhyped from the start. But when I heard there were four leads, it indicated a certain lack of focus.

      Episode one was tedious. Hoping it gets better...
