100% agreed. And very inspirational for writers! Oh Dali and his rhinoceros'...

Can't seem to find Hoof Harrington in the spec section. Or Hells Pass. But shoot, both of those sound great to review.

they're in F/E... check'em

Gah my bad. I'm on it like a fat kid at a candy store.

No leads. Posted request in ISO, I'm sure it'll get here someday .

Trick with this one is I don't think it hit the town wide as a spec. Seems like an in house set up at Energy.

Arent they all? seems like nothing comes out of EE without Brooklyn attached to produce.

That is So. Cool. Fun fact: Yip Harburg recycled a lyric that went unused in the film but which survives in the stage production-- "Follow the rainbow over the stream; follow the fellow who follows his dream"-- for a song in "Finnian's Rainbow." This is the only instance I'm aware of in which a lyricist plagiarized himself.

Glad to hear it was a good flick. He went on a little rant and got over it lol. Just the initial idea of kids fighting and using their imaginations is what he says was his idea. But I know there's no grounds there.

Wait did your cousin actually write out a full-length screenplay or did he just have an idea for one?

He wrote a whole script. I've explained to him that "similar ideas" isn't anything to stand on.

I am on page 46 and it is just flat so far... going to jump in and read your review

ditto that my friends. Addition: three completed specs before May.

Job. Agent. Better job. In that order.

I'm tackling a new genre to shake things up.

That last Adam Sandler movie I liked -- and that I thought he was giving a lot of effort -- was the first half of Funny People. Bedtime Stories, I thought, was OK for what it wanted to be.

Thattaboy.

buck up buckaroo. at least you're not anemic.

I love when the used books are somehow more expensive than a brand new copy. Also, no review below four stars!

Martell rules!

I concur -- Bill's "blue books" are great, and a nice price.

Thanks everyone. Just downloaded ALL OF DEM SCRIPTS mentioned above!

If you want to take a gander at a first draft of a comedy spec I'm looking to revise, I'd appreciate any thoughts you have.

It's a Rom-com called ROMCOM. You can guess the rest.

It's here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oe3h66y7v4rzbj4/romcom-GERNGROSS.pdf.

Feel free to indulge or ignore at your discretion.

The funniest scripts I've read include Wain and Showalter's 'They Came Together', Johnny Rosenthal's 'Iron Jack' and the pilot for 'Hello Ladies', which is significantly funnier (and edgier) than the filmed version.

Do it. It's fascinating and enjoyable to boot.

It's great.

DO IT!

Not trying to shill, just offering an alternative strategy.

Perhaps you have convinced me....

Which one would you recommend? Any of em or perhaps Story Notes over Marketing?

Well, it's no People of Earth! It's OK, IMO. Just seems like Joel McHale doesn't believe in the show -- like he's going through the motions. Good fit for CBS though.

If you're a fan of Van Helsing or Chronicles of Riddick, you'll have a great time.

I didn't watch it in IMAX as there is not cinema near me like that. I watched the regular 3D, and it was awful. One of the worst films I have seen in the last 12 months. Easy.

There's still hope! Just like their are dozens of movies about superheroes, there's room for a few about henchmen and sidekicks and villains,etc

Indeed there are! Write on.

:-)

nice!

Congrats man. Hope the day is everything you dreamed it to be.

Congrats!
