HBO's The Comeback
 

Anyone else watching this? It's hilarious - very, very dark comedy for those of us who enjoy that kind of humor. The premise gives the impression the show could be kind of 'eh', but it's that same kind of subtle undertone humor that made Curb Your Enthusiasm so d*mn funny (tho CYE has plenty of upfront comedy as well).

Very well written.. very well choreographed and edited.

I wouldn't say it's a gem, but it's worth checking out.

Twisted Nightmare Weekend (NE Ohio)
 

Hey guys. I usually spend most of my time posting in the alternative imaging area of the boards. I'm not trying to spam or anything, so i figured this was the best place to post this. I co-run the twisted nightmare weekend convention. It's a horror, sci-fi convention in Cleveland, Ohio. The show is coming up in a few weeks and I figured I'd post real quick and let anyone who might be interested know about it. If you want more info just check out the site at...

If anyone is interested in checking it out post back here or PM me and let me know.

Global Censors Live HD feed from Rockerfeller Center on SNL!
 

I don't know why but Global censored the new Live HD feeds on SNL looking at the Empire State Building from the rooftop of Rockerfeller center! You only got to see the HD signal for half a second and then it breaks off! I don't know if it's intentional so that we poor canadians can't see the new HD signal or there's a timecode error in the commercial tape server. Did anyone in the US see the new HD signal?

Independent Film & Videomaking in Uganda
 

There was an interesting segment on "The World" today, a public radio program, about the growing movie-making activity in Kampala, Uganda. The center of focus was the Maisha Film Lab, an institute that teaches and encourages would-be movie producers. It was founded by Mira Nayer, a producer from India, who made "Monsoon Wedding". A main theme of the instruction there is that "Something explicitly
local, can become international in importance". A reference was made to the saying that every waitress and bank-teller in Los Angeles is working on a screenplay and how that could also apply to Kampala. It would be nice if someone from this group would log-on to DV.Info. You can listen to the 4 min. 55 sec. radio feature here, with Windows Media Player:

Early Draft of the PotC Script
 

An early draft of the Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl script is posted on the Wordplay website. To improve my writing, I find it helpful to compare scripts, especially early drafts, to the finished movie.

Beware it's 'Troll Season'
 

This is Troll Season...that special time when all the mysterious first time posters come on board writing up lengthy first-time post arguing against this new camera, or for that new camera. I wouldn't even argue with these (marketing) people, but then I guess there are those whom don't want to see misinformation spread, I can understand that.

Anyone keep movie development logs?
 

Was wondering if anyone likes to keep dev. logs on their movies or short, maybe online. Do you reveal any plot information or script excerpts, or what do you say at all?

I'm thinking of documenting all the stuff I'm researching and learning, with thoughts and ideas I may be working on at the time - but of course, I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, or have an idea ripped off.

I'd be interested in reading other's if they're out there, though.
