3 of Them
WE LIVE!! Not only that; we actually got off our butts and did a little filmmaking. We just got back from another epic trip to Paducah and the Rivers Edge International Film Festival where we debuted our newest short. That means today is online premiere day.
3 of Them is a behind the scenes account of the making of Kenny Rogers’ hit song, Coward of the County. The song itself is a bit weird, but chances are you didn’t know just how much weirder the backstory is. Allow us to share…
Eight More X-Men Movies??
If we thought Fox's off-the-rails, cinematic X-verse was quickly approaching its merciful end... not so fast. The Disney purchase deal won't be official until Antitrust Enforcement approves it (if they approve it). So, in the meantime, Fox has mashed the accelerator and is going to crank out as many cash grabs as possible before the last stroke of midnight. EIGHT as a matter of a fact! Dark Phoenix and Deadpool 2 this year, then THREE in 2019 and three more in 2020!
Anybody want to place bets on the quality of these as-yet unnamed movies that are going to be shoved through the pipeline as quickly as possible? We do know The New Mutants will be one of the 2019 films (btw, why did they start promoting this two years before release??). Please, please, US Government do us all a favor and get this deal done.
HOLY CRAP!!
Black Dynamite is back??
According to the massive tease Michael Jai White just dropped on his Twitter account, that may be exactly what's happening. So help me, this better be the real deal! Don't make me put you on the Guillermo Del Toro you're-dead-to-me list, Michael. I'm going to hunt for more info and I'll post updates here.

Last Jedi Podcast
How did you feel about The Last Jedi? Whether you loved it or hated it, the latest episode of the Talk Hard Podcast is a must listen. Allen and I unleash almost an hour of verbal lashings on space horses, jedi fish nuns, abused aquatic milk monsters, Snoke the golden playboy, Poe the lunatic, and more. Meanwhile, Todd does his best to talk us down.
Plus, we have plenty to say about the Golden Globes and Fox continuing work on their full slate of mutant movies despite an impending merger with Disney/Marvel.

Our movie podcast is back in full swing. If you haven't checked in lately, hop on over to the Talk Hard page, subscribe to the show and enjoy hours of movie talk and nonsense. This week, Phantasm gets the Force Watch treatment. Angus Scrimm, the Lady in Lavender, Reggie the "family man", jawas, swiss army orbs, cemetery hanky-panky, old man panties... Phantasm has it all and we didn't miss a detail.
Yondu Really Is Mary Poppins
Technically one of the best mash-ups I've seen. You have no idea how much time somebody put into this. #rotoscope #mynightmares
Screenplay: Logan
How about another free screenplay for your reading pleasure? This should be an intriguing one. James Mangold took an interesting direction for the best (by far) solo Wolverine film; borrowing from Mark Millar's Old Man Logan story in the comics. Without further ado, here is your link...
Screenplay: Guardians of the Galaxy 2
Let's keep the free screenplay train rolling. This week, James Gunn shared his Guardians of the Galaxy 2 script with us for the low price of nothing. So if you're looking for something a bit more fun and blockbustery than last week's screenplays, this one may be your jam.

Free Screenplays 2017
It's that time of year again! I'm under the firm belief that the best way to improve your own writing is to read and study the work of great writers.

So, without further ado, here is your inspirational fodder for 2017...
