Reader George

Maybe it's just me, but, I think "George" is a perfect vehicle (and award possibility) for Jack Nicholson. Just a thought.

I just read The Fault in our Stars (the screenplay). And all I have to say is WOW. It's not often a script brings emotions out of me, but this one definitely did. A must read, if you haven't yet.

What are the thoughts on flashbacks? Are we still hating those or...?

IDENTITY THIEF seems to be crushing it again at the B.O. For those that went, what compelled you to go? Melissa McCarthy? Jason Bateman? The trailer? Word of Mouth? Very curious...thx.

I am speechless. My hard drive on my laptop (where I write) fried today and I lost everything I had been writing for the last 6 months. My heart is crushed. Kids, please for the love of God, go back up your files right now.

My sister got me Your Screenplay Sucks! for Christmas. I'm reading it now and it's quite good. What's your favorite screenwriting book?

Hey I'm just curious what people's writing routines are? Do you use coffee, listen to music? How many hours a day and what time of day do you work?

Just saw Looper. Kicking myself it was in my den on the couch and not in the theater, but better late than never!

My New Year's Resolution is to get a Manager. What's yours?

Been dumped thanks to my girlfriend's mother saying "It's him or us [the parents]." In the space of a few weeks I've gone from "Not right for you." to Worse Than Hitler. Noidea how. What scripts should I read to cheer me up?

alright guys! what's the absolute best script from the black list so far?

SMASH CUT TO.... a lame transition. WTF? A cut is a cut. Who started this "smash cut" nonsense? Curmudgeonly annoyed.

Looking for amazing TV pilots to read. I'm a fan of all the serial shows like Mad Men and The Wire. Any suggestions?

Catching up on Dexter Season 6 and realized the Showtime promo dept included a major Dexter spoiler in their DVD promo montage. So, if anyone here knows any of those dumbasses who worked on that, be sure to thank fhem for me.
