Followed!

Yay! Thanks to them and to you.

Thank you, Charlie Brown!

Good news.

Nice! Always love hearing the recommendations - trims my read pile, and adds some quality to the top. Thanks!

Happy to oblige! I've on to MailMen, should have that done soon...

Which I just finished. It had great dialogue and clever situations, but mostly felt like a first draft with lots that could be cut so it's a pass.

Yes.

Technically, one can kickstart a moped or a Ducati. Apt.

Japer...Or...A Vincent Black Shadow.

Ignore the source, here's my pitch:

10 people get picked to be on a reality show sent to Mars. It's shot like Blair Witch/Apollo 18, it's a lot like Halloween: Resurrection with a touch of Dead Space the game. Oh and somehow Bioshock is in there.

And on the way, people start disappearing and going insane....so maybe it's a lot more like And Then There Were None.....F who wouldn't buy that?!

The twist is they're in a hollywood studio and no where near mars.

Not gonna lie... I love our community!

Agree. There are some fantastic people on here.

Agreed. This is easily my favorite community on the internet, you guys are wonderful.

Looks kool

Okay, are you the bitter script reader?

I confess I am not . Just a fan.

Coach (bus) cheapest or Ryan Air (cattle truck of the sky) for cheapo flights

Flying if you don't care about seeing what you're flying over. There's also Virgin Rail which is about 60% less hellish than a coach trip.

Thanks! It's just a quick flyover from Dublin to London, will only be in London for a day, then back to Dublin for a flight back to AZ.

about 3min too long

Enjoyed it, nice job. A simple concept, well executed.

Thank you. It was my first 48 hour film festival and I've definitely learned a lot from the experience. Thanks for the honest feedback, this is thick skin

Dug it! But that better not be the final mix on Bane's audio! Couldn't understand jack of what he was saying.

That's what all of us said as we left. I'm sure they're more than aware of the issue. As I left I asked "Is Bane gonna get subtitles?"

Big Nolan fan, but his track record with sound design leads me to fear that Bane's voice won't be altered that much at all, and somehow these choices are all part of Nolan's aesthetic (see Watanabe's sometimes-hard-to-understand accent in 'Inception' smothered in booming score; And ditto for the Scarecrow in Batman Begins)

I love love love that script. The ending is killer and so emotional.

Couldn't agree more. It's just crazy, because I thought things were over at page 80, but nope. One more shock.

What I'm most amazed of is that melancholy vibe... feels something like The Wonder Years or Stand By Me... or even The Virgin Suicides.

This + The Contagion soundtrack are soooooo good.

Drive was the best film of the year...

I'll get on that Red. Call me old fashioned Cyber, but so far I would say the best film of the year is Midnight in Paris .

I saw that. I am both interested and skeptical at the same time, but I hope for the best. It would be a great way for writers to break in if it works.

I'm also quite hopeful. We'll see what happens. Anyway is an in I suppose.

18 month free exclusive option? No thanks.

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would.

Hot trash... Boardwalk us getting hot tho

Tried one episode of Empire. Not for me I don't think.

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

It's great.

DO IT!

The test for the right genre should be your own personal taste. If you can objectively say that you'd go see your movie opening weekend if it wasn't yours, then you're doing the right thing, irregardless of what the spec market is or isn't. Do good work and the offers will follow...

Danke dude. Good to hear that kind of stuff.

LOL. Thanks geek I remember it being a huge spec sale.

My recent DVD views...

Insidious: Kinda scary but not THAT scary.

Serenity: Unwatchable if you're not a fan of the TV show. 20-25 minutes of exposition to begin the film? Ugh -- I'm now really worried about Whedon's Avengers.

Lifeboat, Hitchcock -- very dated and hoaky, can't say it stands the test of time very well.

BDrip review - "the exorcist" scared the shit outta me. "The Fall" is BEAUTIFUL. "Haloween" has been on repeat. Carpenter's version is way more solid than Zombie's (admirable) re-make.

Sweet, thanks dudes!

Could it be the one based on one of the Penny Arcade comics? He's working on something with them.

Am I the only one who thinks he's a hack?

Also heard he's not a very nice guy. A little bit up himself.

LOVE IT!

Pretty cool.

Stoked!

Start at the state level. Usually your state posts (in their film department website if they have one) upcoming movies or shows. Then if that doens't work, start at the major city level... I know NYC, Chicago, Vegas, Detroit, NoLa, etc does that ... call your state or local film department if there is one.

state film commissions are a good place. otherwise. get your hands on a Production Weekly or PRS Report. Good luck.

A lot of the site says Under Construction ! Thanks AZ. They shot Everything Must Go 10 minutes from my house, so I'm bummed I missed a chance to check it out. I'll keep looking though, thanks peeps!

Ugh. Don't get me started. I think the more stupid an idea is but has a huge following, people just glom on - I don't know why. It's like the same thing with that annoying Orange short that become huge. Ugh indeed

I don't mean to sound bitter (3 years ago I pitched to them, but I guess they didn't like a family comedy... > NEVER FORGIVE!!jk)

A friend of mine who writes children's fiction reminded me that a clever, funny, quick youtube series with an avg. of 2 million views will get anyone signed these days...I still think it's funny though, just wanted to rant when i found out they got signed for it . And yes, Agent Orange, Fred, Smosh and most of the other kids th...

Finally! :-)

Everybody loves to project their bullshit on people when it comes to making micro, indie, medium budget, big budget stuff. Too much hate on why making films/new media/tv/shorts sucks in this day an age of mass digital consumption, consumer ADD, etc etc etc .... don't buy into it.... everything is a thing and nothing is in your control... or is it?

Interesting. I've just been getting more into the indie scene (saw Quiet City, Eagle Vs. Shark and Nice Guy Johnny all in the same day) and since I don't live in LA I figured it might be worth a shot. Just don't wanna do mumblecore

And while I'm on THAT note, yes people do project their bs on others. Taking into account the Consumer ADD, I think the market is mashed down with too much nonsensical (Fred, youtubepoop or whatever) and not enough sensical. My only issue with the "current" state of indie is no one cares about the stories or like Quiet City are just so boring you do want to gouge the eyes out. A delicate balance, but there's my ADD posting for ya. Duplass brothers do it and Cyrus was pretty awesome!

seconded.

I enjoyed it at Sundance. Would recommend it.

Everything Thomas McCarthy does is excellent.

Burn baby burn!

I'm all about ripping thru the 1st draft -- but I always do revisions while writing daily tho -- so when that draft is done it reads like 3rd draft... Try it -- Eric Roth's style

awesome, way to go!

Yeah man, everytime I sit down to work on it, I read from page 1 and rewrite along the way. Thank you Scott Frank!
