    Gangster Squad - made it 55 minutes then left the theater. So formulaic it felt like arithmetic.

    Writer seeking collab - no money up front.

    Damn, well that's too bad. That idea has been bounced around a few places and may already have been poached anyway though. Thanks for the kind words kaminda. I'd planned on consulting someone with legal experience about 'pre-nups;' too many of my artist friends have gotten shrifted due to...

    Method Writing

    There's something to be said for creativity and drugs. I tend to stick with listening to appropriate music while I write, but when you write historical or sci-fi stuff it's not like you can go out and experience what you're writing about. Also I would never drink more than two beers and write...

    Writer seeking collab - no money up front.

    Hi forum, Basically I'm a skilled writer that has too much ADHD right now for reasons I don't understand to complete my projects. If anyone would be into collaborating on projects I have been working on (scripts and potentially other formats) I'd split ownership/credit half and half on a...

    Something very similar has been done in the comic world. Cool that you came up with the idea also.

    I think it would be cool if the doorway was always there, but only takes you somewhere during the full moons.

    Having a killer idea and realizing it's already a film

    Another one of these for me was when I had the idea for a cop story where the ghost of a guy's partner appeared to him and helped him solve mysteries - 70s UK TV show. But I ended up adding a mental illness twist and now I'm proud of that story, so I guess what I've been saying isn't true in...

    Having a killer idea and realizing it's already a film

    My bad man, I don't mean to be that way if that's how I come across. Thanks for calling me out, I'll work on that. But I definitely wasn't meaning to be a dick. I'm actually pretty diplomatic in person, but I can see how that wouldn't come across in my limited interactions on this forum. In...

    Quick formatting question

    I'm writing a sequence where two scenes run concurrently. So far I have the sluglines doing something like this: OLD FOLK'S HOME GUN STORE OLD FOLK'S HOME (CONT'D) GUN STORE (CONT'D) OLD FOLK'S HOME (CONT'D) etc. I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but it's not yet in my...

    Having a killer idea and realizing it's already a film

    I disagree. I think that telling a story that has been told many times, and hoping that your retelling is somehow unique enough to make it special, is not the pinnacle of writing achievement. Striving for something new (something quality, not just for the sake of newness) is what writers...

    Having a killer idea and realizing it's already a film

    Ever happened to you? Worst sting for me was when I had the awesome idea of a spirit materializing and becoming a human so that he could be with a girl he'd fallen in love with...and then I saw Wings of Desire in film class. :( I spent time on that story, man. Time.

    I hear you there. I just didn't think it was good acting. My opinion.

    Anyone seen Spiderman?

    As a skateboarder, that sequence kind of bothered me because parts of it were impossible, parts were highly implausible and parts were really easy. It was like someone beating up gods and monsters and then third graders haha. I kind of wish they'd left it out. And for Andrew's performance, I...

    Anyone seen Spiderman?

    Minority report - hated it. I know that isn't the vibe of this thread, but that's just my opinion. I don't watch a lot of superhero (or Hollywood, really) movies and was blown away by how bad the lead actor was - he couldn't say his lines half the time! I remember the scene where he asks Gwen...
