Friday night I finally get to meet a bunch of you people. WOOO!

They Came Together is a better Saves the Cat than Saves the Cat. Incredibly hilarious. If you love Stella, Naked Gun, Hot Shots, etc. you will love this.

If you ever need a good lesson on dialogue, go to a coffee shop/McDonalds in a small town and just listen to how the old folks gossip.

Industry joke: "Dude, Paul T Anderson is doing Castlevania." "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" I open script. "Paul WS Anderson? Oh. That's different."

What's the best pilot you've read in recent memory? The Blacklist pilot is so dang good and I dug Extant.

Another day, another dandol--dollar. Just finished a new script and am sending it out for notes! WOOP!

Whenever I worry about writing, I read this and I remember it is a marathon and not a sprint: http://hollywoodjournal.com/personal-journeys/making-a-movie-is-easy-a-3‐step-process-that-worked-for-prisoners/20130917/

Need a comedy spec to read. Tired of reading sci-fi. I mean, I'm not, because I love sci-fi, but I need to read more comedies. Any to recommend?

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.

You can spend DAYS drowning in the wisdom from the lectures from BAFTA.

I promised my sister I would ask: Anyone know anyone who has ever pitched a theme park ride?

In my head, I'm now imagining the idea that all these films that have a ride tie-in are only part of a huge marketing drive to help pump up the publicity for the rollercoaster.
"We've got this great idea for a SAW ride. We're in touch with these youngsters to develop a film franchise and in ten years, this rollercoaster should be good to go."

While I'm waiting for notes on Henchman, I finished rewriting another spec. Stay busy my friends!

Something fun I found while cleaning at home. Figured this community would appreciate it http://imgur.com/gallery/N90zWCI

If you try to find Saves the Cat structure in Nightcrawler, you're going to have a bad time.

Yeah, the discussion of character often gets lost in how people view Snyder's beat sheet, but fundamentally his sheet is about character metamorphosis. The thing that's different about Nightcrawler is the metamorphosis is really fucking bleak and scary. The beats are still there. But we don't see very much of this kind of negative metamorphosis on screen anymore (at least, not since the late 60's - mid 70's). Most of the time, Hollywood characters change for the bette...

Sent out the rewrite. Tis a better script!

Meeting went great. Got some awesome notes and some hope for the coming weeks. Good night to all!

Waiting in line at Dumb Starbucks.

"A group of school janitors decide to risk it all and form a curling team with the hopes of going to the Olympics." Based on absolutely nothing. In the vein of Cool Runnings and The Blind Side.

No one will believe me, but I Frankenstein was awesome in Imax 3d. Also Stuart Beattie is really cool to talk to.

20 pages into the Raider's conference, Lucas sounds logical and Spielberg sounds like Lucas does now.

Query letters sent. If Henchman comes across your desk today, give it a chance. I promise it'll be worth your time.
