      He could rock it with the best of them. He could drop soul second to none. He could funk you up! A truly talented m****rf****r.

  2. If I'm completely honest, I feel like I've lost my ability to write. I haven't been able to flow at the level I used to be able to in a very long time.

      I've noticed my writing has changed since I quit smoking. All my characters are really angry and cynical.

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

      Are you kidding, Reader? I realize we all have our own opinions, but this is... nonsense.

  7. True Detective season 2: ugh.

      12 minutes in and out I went. All three shows (the two new ones) were pretty crappy. But it is what it is. Hannibal got cancelled. So there's that too.

  8. Scooped. Sigh. http://forum.tracking-board.com/index.php?/topic/12816-rubber-tank-squad-by-david-boito/?hl=+rubber++tank++squad They secured the rights to the documentary film that aired on PBS called "The Ghost Army." I have been working on this script for years and did my research before the documentary came out.

      I've been working on a similar idea about Juan Pujol Garcia who was the only person in world history to receive both the Iron Cross and the OBE due to his work as a double agent who came up with the idea to fool the Abwher and Hitler himself regarding Normandy. The 23rd Special Troops were a part of his con.

  9. For the writers out there: How many words/pages per day do you try to write?

      Rewriting is where the real work is. But I try to get at least 3 pages every day.

  12. Let's talk about what music you write to....

    1. craktactor

      Chopin, Rachmaninov, a plethora of unsigned indie bands, Nine Inch Nails, Bowie (early stuff), Mott the Hoople, VH, Cocteau Twins, Roxy Music, The Killers, and all usually in a good day.

  13. I'm freaking out. I know this happens all the time, but I am about 1 or 2 months away from finishing a script that has the EXACT SAME CONCEPT as another project that was announced in the trades. I am very proud of this script and feel it is the best thing I have written. But I can already hear the rebuttals, and I don't want to waste my time working on something that seems to be dead out of the gate. What would you guys do?

      Been there. I've looked at this same type of situation as "damn, I'm getting closer."

      I saw them at their absolute best... it was a rainy Wednesday night in 1974 at the Whiskey. It turned out that was the night they got signed. EVH had already mastered the hammer-ons and Dave was a showman of undeniable quality. Saw them a few more times since, but nothing topped that time.

      I wasn't so much speaking about the talent level or the descending aspect of it (DLR) but more about the event, the closing of Hollywood Boulevard.

      My pool is more kidney shaped than anything. But thanks for asking. :)

      Slower than snail gunk. I couldn't get past the first half hour. It almost seems to me that Paul is trying to out-weird Wes. It's not working. At least wes has a story to tell.
