Thanks Nate! Tell you the truth - the hitting the woman is figurative.. I tend to employ figurative imagery a LOT.

It's such a strange thing getting advise for something you're writing or creating.. There's a weird ambiguity.. does this person actually GET what I'm trying to do? Does he get it and is offering good advice that I'm not getting? Does he not get it and offering good advice for his perception...

Firstly - thanks for taking the time. I appreciate it. I understand where you're coming from.. If this were something I was writing for a ratings board or an agent than that would be very sound advice. Being that it's not, I feel I can get away with pushing aside politics in favor of something...

The assaination of jessie james - very good. Some of the early train shots coupled with Nick Cave's absolutely gorgeous score - yup.

Good. Funny. only advice I can think is to give Otis a bit more of an introduction. Maybe having him walking IN to a shop at his intro and have him being short-changed by a cashier for his coconut or something.. I'd like to see it when it gets produced. (I'll add my name to the "wouldn't mind...

I read someone saying that a reader should be hooked by the first five pages of a screen-play.. That, the fact that you all seem to be pretty good about offering intelligent commentary on peoples efforts, and the fact that I've never had anyone read anything I've done in screenplay format.. I...

"Well thought out cast with all the perks." +1 Do you secretly run Fox by any chance, Nate?

I think you forgot to type a word or two in something the Judge says, and I have no Idea who Peter is talking to or what kind of Character Henderson is - but other than that, those both read pretty well. Browsing these forums has inspired me to write a treatment that I'll post when it's ready -...

I understood the scene. :) What I meant is if that's their first encounter (which the reactions of the pimps lead me to believe) than the cost wouldn't be going up. There would have to be a cost in the first place in order for it to go up.. :P

I'll preface this the same as beatlesfan - I'm by no means any kind of professional or expert - so take it with a grain of salt. "How much for one?" - one what? As far as I know Pimps generally sell sex, and I would imagine by the act. (at least that's what hollywood leads me to believe - I...

Boxers or.. aw hell. Hi!

I don't know if any of you have been watching these, but they are pretty cool: http://www.youtube.com/user/CowboysAliensIntrvws?blend=22&ob=5 So far Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg, Ron Howard, and Brian Grazer have been.. Technically interviewed, but mostly just hanging out telling stories.

I don't think story is important - but context is.. and I imagine it's pretty difficult to create context without story.. Does that make sense?

Woo. Okay. I've got me a list.. I've got me a list and I know how to use it. er.. thanks!

I'm by no means an expert but I'll throw in a couple of ideas - I like to think of Clint Eastwood. Million Dollar Baby, I believe.. I haven't actually seen it - but my father's girlfriend was talking about a scene in which Eastwood was apparently having a conversation with someone about their...

Yeah, but.. Boxers or Briefs? ..oh wait.. wrong thread. :/

I feel like you're not trying. ;)

Boxers or Briefs?

Orson Welles - I keep seeing his name popping up lately and I've only ever seen Citizen Kane. For whatever reason I didn't even realize he did anything else outside of War of the Worlds. Any recommendations? I'd just google and pick at random but I'm liking the community here and I figured...

+1 for Dolphin Independent. If not the OP than someone. Idiots failing is as much fun to watch as brilliant people winning. come to think of it - that might be a good film right there.. contrast two teams, one a bunch of idiots failing, and the other a bunch of geniuses succeeding.
