Question: If one was writing a farcical take on the Bond franchise, what are the dangers (read: legal) one would expect? And it is purely farcical. Thanks.

So uh, yeah. Van Halen, man. Only in L.A.

For further comparison of the publics interest in real Van Halen, see the above mentioned Louisville, Kentucky date, then find the numbers for the bands return to that same city with the correct singer: 2/18/2012 KFC Yum! Center Louisville, KY 17048 of 17048 (100%) for a gross of $1,544,983.00. (The above mentioned date with Hagar grossed $327,979.00)

If you haven't read "Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" yet, do yourself a favor and read it. It's a winner. My favorite by far out of both the Black and Hit lists. So there's that.

Congrats to Andrew Parker for the "Worth the Read" today from Carson @ SS.

I just want to say thank you to Ted and K.Ryan and the whole Color Squad from TB and each and every one of you here. You all make coming to this place on a daily basis a worthwhile affair. So thanks. That is all. Carry on.

Black List. Monday... via Twitter. *eye roll*

The lack/snub? of names and films this year is mindnumbingly confusing. I mean, The Book Thief gets one nom, original score (John Williams)? Michael B. Jordan gets nada? I guess this IS the most subjective industry.
-
Much thanks to Kristen and Ted for the clickity-clicking. All the TB Colors for, well, being you. And a special congrats to Mr. Dollar for making both lists (equally of import). And to each and every member here, may the coming year find you all safe, sane-ish, and as near to your dreams as you can be.

And then that happened. Remember people, always, always, ALWAYS BACK-UP YOUR WORK. Computers have a tendency to die. Mine did. Writing is fun.

The one thing I did lose, and am most depressed about, was a script I had just started and was going to post the first 10 here for feedback and whatnot. Now, that ain't happenin'. It is still fresh in my grey matter, so that'll help. Other than that, I only lost what i didn't back-up since January. Lessons are fun to learn. I'm going on a weekly back-up now, PLUS, I'm sending everything I write to my email for now on, on a daily basis.

Oy frickin' vay it's hot here. You were smart to leave this place Charlie Brown.

Hi folks... may I ask that for now on whenever you post a script in the File Exchange, even/and especially if it's an ISO fill, that you add a logline just like K. Ryans (and pretty much everyone else) does. It would be greatly appreciated, because I'm getting tired of downloading the script(s) only to find out it's a piece of crap unworthy of even using at the bottom of a bird cage. Like I said, I would greatly appreciate it (and I'm sure a lot of others too). Thank you.

Just an FYI, people... after I win the lottery toonight I'll be immediately going into film funding/producing mode. Just thought I'd get that out there.

Boy oh boy, effing FOX... not only is their news division bullshit, so is their programming people. Really? Ben and Kate cancelled? Suck my what, Fox!
-
Maybe it's just me, but, I think "George" is a perfect vehicle (and award possibility) for Jack Nicholson. Just a thought.

Caught Cuckoo's Nest a few weeks ago and wish I hadn't waited so long to see it again. So brilliant. Why don't they make them like that anymore? Risk aversion seems to be the persistent trend. I was joking with some friends the other night that somewhere right now there's an executive wondering aloud if the characters in The Fault in our Stars can be vampires.

The plus and minus regarding the MR. ROBOT pilot (now streaming on USA network.com) The plus: intelligent, well told, very well acted, smartest show on TV The minus: intelligent, the smartest show on TV. Just like Rubicon, too smart for the American public, and that's a damn shame.
-
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.

"They're coming for you, Barbara."

Damn shame if that's the last "On The Slate"... Mike, it's something I look forward to every week. What ever it is you're doing, or what ever is up, I'm sorry to see you go. Hopefully not though, right? Right. But thanks, man. It's been a rare and true honor to have been a reader. Here's to you Mike.

Just want to wish everyone here a healthy, somewhat sane, but very safe New Years eve. And here's a toast and a wish for a prosperous and prolific year to all!

The writing part seems the easy part in this industry when compared to searching for bridge money and investors. There's a reason I like to be alone in a room with nothing but my coffee/Guinness, keyboard and mindspace.

Friend of mine who just got repped was telling me about one of his specs going out.
Said that pretty much you either go the studio route where they'll most likely want to do a bunch of rewrites or you go independent and have to try to find the money yourself.
The latter of course being more difficult if you're short on connections.
I'm pretty ignorant on this part of movie-making, are there more options than this?

I don't know about any of you, but THIS looks incredible. Definitely a MUST WATCH. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/13/awake-first-7-minutes_n_1274043.html?1329173922

So a friend of mine received the Midnight in Paris script (Foreign Press member), and after much begging by me (relentlessly so) realized Sony Classics made it virtually impossible to copy/scan. Every page (front and back - yep, front AND back) had their PROPERTY OF stamped across every page. Oh well. I tried. Hope someone else has better luck than I.

It's ovah! Cawt 'im! Wicked hodcaw!

I know this has been said umpteen million times, but... Kristen Ryans is the end all be all here at TB. MVP, baby, yeah! Thank you Kristen, for everything, always.
