    Updated. And, thanks Finders... I added time of day.

    Love the song. I'll be looking forward to this.

    5-page rewrite

    I understand exactly what you're saying... but every time I sit down to try and write things more concisely, it ends up being longer and more prosey. I do like your rewrites though. Also, is it necessary to add - TIME OF DAY to interiors when there'll be no view of the outside?

    Critique Requested on Short Script

    I enjoyed this... but a few things that may have already been mentioned: If Jason has a post-doc in entomology, I don't see why he'd have to run to a book to read about praying mantises. It's pretty common knowledge that mantis females can devour the males after sex, so the whole scene seems...

    5-page rewrite

    5-page rewrite - Updated slightly Following the suggestions (thanks, Finders and Greenfield) I went back over this. I still think it's a bit wordy, but I'm working on that... I added a flash-forward at the beginning that I hope would work as a hook for viewers...

    short screenplay

    Followed the link to read... but I think you actually need to post your script on scripped.

    Top 5 sci-fi shows?

    I'm not big fan of sci-fi, but I fell in love with Terminator: tSCC. It had some rough spots, but the show could be brilliant at times. Oh yeah, and that one too.

    ZOMBIES ZOMBIES ZOMBIES

    I'm shocked. Shocked that there's no mention of Dead Alive. I think, at least with Romero, his first zombie films did a great job of slowly building up tension and sense of impending doom and then releasing all hell at the end rather than relying on cheap scare tactics. The first 28 Days Later...

    Law firm will fight illegal downloadin of your movie for free

    What exactly do you mean by "music sales"? When stating that music sales have dropped, does that take into account Itunes and similar services, Pandora and streaming online radio, and the ease of sales of used albums through Amazon and Ebay? I won't lie and say piracy isn't a factor, but it's...

    Law firm will fight illegal downloadin of your movie for free

    Netflix is the natural progression of how consumers access entertainment. In a free market, convenience and cost triumph... and Netflix (and I'll throw in Hulu and Crackle) offer both better than anyone. I don't think any blame can be placed at the feet of something like Netflix. This is the...

    Law firm will fight illegal downloadin of your movie for free

    That's not even remotely accurate. Lawsuits against downloaders didn't stem piracy for the RIAA and its certainly not going to work for the film industry. No matter how many lawsuits the film industry brings against downloaders, the vast majority are still going to get off scott free. So...

    3 Loglines

    Probably the best way to ever explain anything to anyone is in terms of naked women. So, thanks. I'd assumed a good logline read like the feature film descriptions on Hulu, so that's what I was going for. It's good to know how to actually write one, though. For this, I was basically trying to...

    3 Loglines

    Howdy, This is my first post and I hope I'm not breaking any rules by just posting loglines. I glanced over the rules thread and didn't see anything suggesting I shouldn't... I'm finding it difficult to succinctly explain my screenplay ideas without rambling for ten minutes while actually...
