My buddy who is taking some screenwriting classes says it's a pretty frustrating process... you're constantly re-writing everything to make sure plot points don't seem contrived. The ending has to be the toughest though.

you should put some time aside and start with an outline, and see where it leads... if you or your friend has any advice on how to get funding and produced, let me know. I have no idea how the biz works, just that I have something I want to create. good luck!

I'm pretty excited for Iron Man tonight. hope it lives up to the hype.

Iron Man looks awesome - I probably won't get to see it in the theaters, but I'm going to try!

Iron Man was totally a 8.5 out of 10 for me. Good job with building the characters, awesome as hell special effects, and absolutely perfecting casting for every single role.

I agree. Robert Downey Jr did a great job as Tony Stark. Special effects were good. Jeff Bridges looked very comfortable in his role. Paltrow did her usual terrible job, though. Good movie if you like that kind of flick.

Can't say I plan on seeing Iron Man, although I'm sure i'll watch it when it eventually hits one of the movie channels.

I saw Idiocracy and License to Wed tonight. Idiocracy was a really good flick, although I certainly don't believe that in 500 years people are going to be that incredibly stupid lol. It does make you think though, what if? if you know what i'm saying.

License to Wed was okay but I watched it more for the humor than for the romance. Overall a decent film, although I was disappointed because when the previews for it were on t.v. they portrayed it as a hilarious looking comedy, and it's definitely more romance than comedy.

yeah, I don't think it's going to take nearly that long, either. "It's got electrolytes"

"what's electrolytes?"

"it's what plants crave"

"No way, you like money and sex? Me too!"


awesome movie...

Lets see, in the past two days, I've seen Harold and Kumar: Escape From Guantanemo (probably spelled wrong) Bay and I just saw Transformers for the first time on Cinemax.

In my opinion, Harold and Kumar was an excellent movie, but only because I'm a fan of stoner films that feature lots of female nudity. I would definitely check it out if you are a fan of those kinds of movies like I am, but if you only stick to more sophisticated films then you probably shouldn't bother.

I'm like 10 months late on this one, because I just saw Transformers lolol, but I gotta say, that was an excellent movie. When I saw the previews I didn't bother going to see it because for some random reason that I now forget, it didn't appeal to me. If I had gone to see that movie in theaters though I definitely wouldn't have been disappointed. I loved the storyline, great acting by Shia Lebouf (man, it seems like just yesterday I was watching him on Even Stevens) and everyone else, the special effects were pretty magnificent, and just overall a great film in my book.

As for H&K, you had me at female nudity. Transformers doesn't interest me a bit. I never liked the cartoon when I was a kid.

I agree with Idiocracy that movie was great, I love the begining where they show how everyone got so dumb, I watched that all the time while had a free trial of the movie channels

I saw gone baby gone this weekend, I thought it was pretty good. Good cast and a lot of twists and turns.

[KLHJ2]

I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall and laughed my ass off the entire time. It was nice to see a movie that didn't have all of the good stuff in the preview only to leave you disappointed by the rest of the film.

Iron man was on point. Great acting, action, and special effects. It also had me laughing quite a bit. Finally, another Marvel comic other than Spiderman that wasn't screwed up.

Going to see the new Indiana Jones movie tomorrow! My friend won tickets on the radio for an advanced screening and I told him that he would be risking his life if he didn't take me.
I am so pumped, but at the same time I just don't want to have my hopes too high just in case. I'm usually a glass half empty kind of guy.

Let us know how it is, I'm looking forward to it too.

It's Indiana-freakin'-Jones! Totally impossible to ruin it. They actually could have shown 10,000 BC with the name Indiana Jones Strangles Blind Kittens and it would have been awesome. In-di-an-a JONES!!!

Yeah, I'm a little excited to see it.
