Next Friday sounds good.

Pia, I must have the same version as you, it is in Times New Roman.
In fact I wonder if it is the best script for a screenwriting discussion being that there are no sluglines either! I forgot how badly formatted it was until I just got my copy out to look at.
It is a good story though.

I hear you Gary, but maybe we can do it anyway. I read Inglorious Bastards a few weeks ago and it was AWFUL as far as format, SPELLING and such goes. It was still a good story.

I think we should go ahead with Burn After. After all the story is the most important thing... maybe we can ignore the formatting stuff and just call it priveladge (sp) of a few...  

I'll jump in on this as well, but I do want to say up front that this movie looks absolutley terrible to me, based on trailers I've seen.  I don't know what script you guys have, but if it's messed up in terms of format and the like, I think we should go elsewhere.

Just my 3 cents...

Quoted from Dreamscale I'll jump in on this as well, but I do want to say up front that this movie looks absolutley terrible to me, based on trailers I've seen.  I don't know what script you guys have, but if it's messed up in terms of format and the like, I think we should go elsewhere. Just my 3 cents...

I am easy, I only suggested Burn After Reading as I read it quite a while ago now and loved it, thought it was a clever story and funny, and of course written by the Coens. But I guess it is not for everyone (though I have seen the trailer and thought it rocks!

The only thing I would say however is that format and font are not really important, I would much rather debate story and structure, the lack of sluglines is strange but so are the Coen's I guess and it does not really matter in terms of the script.

I am happy to go with the general opinion on this, after all I am jumping into the script club a bit behind everyone else here.

I agree GM.  There are a billlion places to go to find proper formatting.  Story and structure are much more interesting!

I agree too. Besides it's not that easy finding a thriller script that has not come out yet and is formatted perfectly.  

That's cool with me.  Whatever you guys think.  This thing sure doesn't look like a "thriller" to me though.  It looks more like a goofy comedy type spoof thing.

Should be interesting.  Where do we find the script for reading?

Yeah, you're right. It's apparently a crime/comedy film.

If you guys still want to do that one it's fine with me, but if you want to use a real thriller let me know.

As I said, I'm for anything you guys want to do, and I don't want to be difficult...but my vote would be anything other than comedy, especially a "black" comedy, like this thing.

I've read about 1/3 of it so far and to be honest with you I had no idea it was a comedy.  

How about this one?  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486562/

Hey me, where'd you get that Burn after Reading?  I can't find it anywhere.  Thanks!

Three suggestions

Do I have to register with IMBd to get a script there? If not, where on their page do I click to pull it up?

No, that's just the listings for the movies.  The scripts aren't available there.

I think once the script is decided upon, whoever has it will email it to whoever is taking part.

Thanks Mike. I'm not particular here. If I have to vote, on what's here so far, then maybe Countdown or Edwin A. Salt
