Want to be a screenwriter? Start as a letter writer!

I was reading on the Hollywood Reporter how Disney just bought a spec script for a sci-fi comedy called “Grounded.”
This was not the interesting part of the story. No, the interesting part is in reference to the writer, a one Paul Davidson.
Seems Paul here has a little “experience” under his belt. How, you may be […]

Horrorfest Nov 9 - 18, 2007

So, Team Talent has a super big love for Dina Meyer. In trolling IMDB today I saw that a Dina movie by the name of Crazy Eights will be part of the upcoming HorrorFest. In going to the horrorfest website I see that it is not coming to our state. Balls.
This of course means that […]

Upcoming movies I wanna see

Wristcutters: A Love Story
Dan In Real Life
Southland TalesĀ  - yay Sarah Michelle Gellar
and, well, that is pretty much it. Not a lot of great movies coming out. In my opinion at least.

Justin Timberlake too generous for words

I was on IMDB and there was a news story on Justin Timberlake. Why? He’s a an actor. Sure, he has been in a couple of films, but that doesn’t make him an actor. Ron Jeremy has been in a few films but he is certainly not an actor.
Anyways, the story is on how JT […]

Holy Crap - Twin Peaks Definitive Gold Box Edition

I signed onto IMDB to look at their news. What I saw on the top of the page almost made me crap my pants. What was it you ask? Well, just look below if you can’t wait. But. It is info on a boxed set of Twin Peaks. Omg, I loved that show! What a […]

WGA Strikes are Still Cool!

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the SAG board passed a statement of support for the WGA on Saturday.
“The guild supports the WGA and any other guild or union that seeks (to) fight for fair compensation and protections for creative talent in the motion picture, television, and new media industries,” the SAG board said.
Sweet. Apparently […]

Underworld 3 won’t have Kate Beckinsale! Balls to that!

I heart Kate Beckinsale. So, what I saw on the Hollywood Reporter website that Underworld 3: The Rise of the Lycans is set to being filming in January 2008 - I got totally stoked. Mmm, Kate Beckinsale in that lovely little form fitting black number all vamped out. That was what I was thinking.
Then I […]

Strikes are cool

I’ve been somewhat keeping up with the possible WGA strike. It looks like the WGA strike might happen too!
According to the Hollywood Reporter in an article posted today,
The writers are under contract through Wednesday, but WGA membership recently gave the green light for leaders to call a strike any time after that. In […]

Film School: Good Investment or Waste of Money?

The Hollywood Reporter seems to think that if you seek success in Hollywood that the only path leads to film school. I think it’s like that “just visiting” square on the Monopoly board. You aren’t going to jail but you can see it cause you’re visiting. In the same sense, you are not a part […]

Hollywood Hotties I Heart and So Should You #1 - Sarah Shahi

There should be some sort of special compensation, similar to disability payments or unemployment benefit payments, for people like me that will sit through an hour or more of complete and utter shit on film just to see a babe. If there was, I would be one rich bastard.
Why am I thinking about this? […]
