• Hmmm… Paid for by the agencies. Let the snarks begin. Hope Tarantino is on it again like last year. Or someone else who “bought reader credits @ 50 bucks a pop” and interned at Blacklist that “found” success.

  • Are you suggesting the process is somehow corrupted?

  • Captain Awesome -

    Thanks for the completely unnecessary shot. I did buy a reader credit. I did “find” success (to a very small extent). I uploaded my script the same exact way every single other writer did. Process wasn’t altered one bit.

• And so annoying, who wants their twitter flooded like that?

• Anticlimactic. Agents already know which clients are on there and word’s getting out. Only a small fraction of his twitter following will be surprised.

• Who cares? We don’t need more self-promoting agents/execs trying to tell us PROM and GOING THE DISTANCE are the best scripts of the year…

  • or He’s fking perfect, or Are we Officially dating, or this list would be way too long to name all the horrendous ones that are on it…sadly, we are in a time of our business where so few people actually read scripts, and even fewer know what to look for when reading…look no further than network comedy to see this to hold true. And thus this list holds weight…why, because like everything else in this town, it’s a hype machine. And no I’m not a writer unless you count this post.

• I like the idea of it going out on twitter.

• I love that everyone gets all hot and bothered over this. Be honest with yourself, the development money that chases these writers and scripts is over. Does everyone thinks it’s still 2004 when big money was thrown at scripts and writers with reckless abandon. Wake up, children. It’s not your father’s show business anymore.

• Hmm. Sense some bitterness here from people whose idea for a remake of Ishtar didn’t make the cut. Hacks.

  • I’d happily write a remake of Ishtar. And not just for the check, I think it’s a totally fun idea that didn’t work out at the time. Better to remake that than a classic.

• The whole forced suspense thing is going to make this list more trivial than it is.
