Stefano Pavone

"Manhunter", which I consider to be Michael Mann's best film alongside his début "Thief" (I liked "Heat" as a teenager but now I can see it's a little bit too long for its own good).

Terrence Sellers

I'm not going to call it new, but they recently added the latest season of The Blacklist to Netflix here in Taiwan, and I've been watching that. I have to say that the show, which I love overall, has...

BOSCH. Brilliantly filmed. 1 case = 1 season, each season looks like a mini series.

When is something "stolen" and when is the idea just "similar"?

Hey folks! This should be a fun conversation. In a recent interview, GREMLINS Director Joe Dante said that he believes the Baby Yoda design was stolen from Gizmo in the films.

"“I think the longevity of [the films] is really key to this one character [Gizmo], who is essentially like a baby,” directo...

"Baby Yoda...is completely stolen and is just out-and-out copied" from Gizmo. "Shamelessly, I would think," said the 'Gremlins' director.

Mr Dante entertaining movie fans for over 40-years.

I suppose the true test would be to feed Yoda after midnight.

Okay, so let's throw ET (June 1982) into this mix...

The thing here is, there are plenty of studies that show the human appeal of and empathy toward big-eyed, round-headed, symmetrical creat...

Billy Kwack 'I'm a Dumpster Goblin' is more of a lifestyle choice, however I do like where your heads at with writing a script under that title. You've inspired me.

Billy Kwack

Hi Charles, okay, good luck with all

Charles Valentin-Stulck

Sara Benomara - I concur. There should be more rock and roll themed flicks. And not biopics, some original high concept stuff like STUDIO 666. I pitched one, one time to my manager - movies about musi...

I haven't come to utilize the site yet. So, here I am. I'm about to go write soon, I just wanted to throw some chum your way. Anybody needs notes or feedback on their screenplay(s), just message me first. You won't have to talk about the weather first, either.

Maurice Vaughan

Thanks for the offer, N.M. Walter. If I need notes, I'll message you. I'm sure other people will take you up on the offer.

N.M. Walter

Sounds good Mr. Vaughan.
