In more movie talk, Bone Tomahawk is a pretty good flick so far. Not sure I've seen it mentioned before but it was discussed on Doug Loves Movies - Krusty Feb 13, 09:59 1

I'm not sure I understand how to judge the best screenplay. I feel like I would just end up voting how I did for the best picture. - Krusty Feb 13, 09:51 6
- dialogue, story structure, character. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 09:53 5
  - So I should mostly focus on those aspects of a film? That's better than some of the things I've read which are rather convoluted. -- nm - Krusty Feb 13, 09:56 4
    - that's what I tend to. Ideally we'd all have time to read (and access to!) the shooting script, but, you know. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 09:59 3
      - Well yeah but that's not happening. :-) I'm just trying to judge the films as fairly as possible and I didn't want to vote in a category I wasn't - Krusty Feb 13, 10:02 2
        
        nobody (that i know of) is reading the scripts for their writing on the page. think of it more as the best story told -- nm - mr plow Feb 13, 10:05 1
        
        I tend to focus on things like is there something new to the story or how it's told assuming that's more likely to come from the writer. -- nm - Dano Feb 13, 10:09

  - Aug 5th at Fenway. I got tickets for the 7th. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 13, 10:20 3
    - Oh! Nice. I was thinking that was pretty ludicrous for Deadpool tix. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 10:22 2
      - (And I thought "pj" was maybe a ticket reselling site) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 10:22 1
        
        So I guess what I'm saying is, you aren't the only one who isn't awake :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 10:23

- this is staggeringly sad. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 13, 09:08
- Everything about the situation is horrible. I'm truly sorry for your pain. -- nm - David Feb 13, 09:04 7
  - I'm apparently going to meet with the family next Thursday night I think.... - Remlik Feb 13, 09:19 5

      - we started talking today. -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 10:29 2

        You're sure about reading it before? Everything I'm reading says USA Today never published the 74 page court documents. Just the article. -- nm* - Inigo Feb 13, 13:02 1
