i only saw 2 movies in 3d, avatar and tron. I was stoned for both. Hated the 3d both times. It's really just pointless. gives me a headache. doesn't add anything to the experience, i think it takes away. it wouldn't be as bad if the 3d actually had 3 dimensional SHAPE to it. Instead it just...

the only thing i appreciate kevin smith for is 'clerks'.

Honestly i was pretty surprised to see it on the Oscar list so many times but it really was a great achievement. Not only was Jennifer Lawrence great, but all the supporting cast was jsut as believable. I think this is one of those 'mood' movies. They wanted to set up a distinct atmosphere, and...

I see this completely different. As for the story, every story line has been told a million times, very rarely does a new interesting plot come about. I think a lot of movies are reinterpretations of classic plots. You say it wasn't till the end when "Aronofsky let himself be Aronofsky"...

I would highly recommend the fighter. I really really enjoyed winters bone also, but part of the reason might be that the movie was essentially set in my small hillbilly farm town. The few shots in the beginning showing the inside of the school, looked identical to my high school. Architecture...

8 nominations for the Social Network???? I'll just say i went to the theater to see that with my brother, we were the only ones there, and we left early. If it wasn't about facebook i don't think it would be AS popular as it is, not saying it wouldn't get any buzz, but i think it's hyped up way...

today I watched Time of the Wolf (8/10) by Michael Haneke (Funny Games) for the first time. I'm currently obsessed with Michael Haneke.. He is the filmmaker I've been waiting for. His films are sort of a critique on Hollywood cinema. He hates the spoon feeding method of story telling (as do I)...

the new movie will have ann hathaway as catwoman. and some dude from inception playing bane. I dont have the link for this confirmation but i saw it. and cracker funk is right, the movies were based off of a series of graphic novels, batman year one, the long halloween, arkham asylum, and a...

michael bays films are an insult to human intelligence. so is 98 percent of hollywood films for that matter. why do americans hate thinking? obviously not everyone can be intellectually stimulated all of the time, we need some entertainment, but its reached the point where quality, artistic...

16 is dodgeball. 'I'm somebodys bitch!' -half baked

i dont get the question... death is funny.

i think when he asked you how the argument starts, that was a question for you to ask yourself in order to think about your story. asking myself questions is the biggest thing that gets me going in a screenplay. I have the idea for each character, and the basic situation, now i ask what does...

david lynch never explains anything in his movies because he wants everyone to have their own interpretation. He started as a painter before he was a filmmaker, so he has an artistic philosophy on film. he let's the movie exist for itself, and not necessarily mean one thing, but is abstract...

for the most part i agree with this

first thanks to directork for your response. i guess i have such a narrow tunnel about how i see filmmaking and how i want to persue it and why, i don't think about how or why other people do it. so in a way i really envy you also, because if someone hired me to write a screenplay for a specific...

i really enjoy the creepy imagery. was this before or after 'fantastic mr fox' came out? some of it seemed very wes-andersonesque. especially the lettering, it looks like the same font he uses in all of his pictures.

1) i have never ever ever in my entire life considered (or even seen) the logline before seeing a picture. the only loglines i've ever seen are people on this forum saying 'does this sound like a good logline?" which is what drove me to start this thread.

it's funny you mention essay writing, because i never used outlines or thesis statements. i pretty much just made shit up as i went along. Which is sort of how i go about developing a story (before the actual writing of the screenplay) I can understand now that someone will probably need a...

fair enough. i didn't really think about it that way because, well, i haven't considered writing a script to sell. so should i assume everyone talking about a log line has written a script that they are prepared to sell? or do some people start with the logline when developing a story? i...
