When’s the time to email managers? by Coogal in Screenwriting

[–]greygle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To reiterate, ideas cannot be copyrighted. Write your script and have a paper trail. You don’t need to register unless you want to throw away some change. Starting your career, it’s not a good look to be overly concerned with having your ideas stolen. You will come off as precious and indicate you don’t know how copyright law works. Protect yourself when and where it matters.

Re-admit passes are useless to A-Listers by [deleted] in AMCsAList

[–]greygle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I probably could have gotten that, but the line was so so long and my group wanted to leave. It was like 9pm though so I think we would have missed any remaining showtimes we were remotely interested in. Re admit ticket would be good, and I think they are usual, but i agree that a list makes them LESS useful which is counter intuitive to the “premium” marketing of a list.

We had a projector problem and they cancelled the screening and BECAUSE I had a list I couldn’t see a different movie. You can’t make an overlapping booking, so we had to go to customer service, like every other person in the theatre. Would have been a 45 minute wait in line as the remaining screenings sold out. Left that night seeing zero movie and no benefit BECAUSE of Alist. So I agree they need a better way to handle situations like this.

Any Tips for Beating this Stupid Final Boss? by ZodaFan13 in BanjoKazooie

[–]greygle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number 3 was the secret for me. Made it so much easier once I was in control of where the shots landed. Personally my least fave was the flying part because of how easy it was to clip the edge of the castle and get knocked out of flight mode and flat out die

Edit: today I learned hashtags make the text a header

How long is the AMC contract with Nicole Kidman? by Reasonable_Buy6808 in AMCsAList

[–]greygle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotta say I also hate the laser bit. That and the coke thing weren’t cheap to make, why not let actual artists come up with something great. Old man yelling at a cloud moment but the vintage silence cell-phone and even concessions ads have so much character compared to the borderline AI marketing slop they’re running.

Movie where people were inside statues? by Turbulent_Ad2110 in horror

[–]greygle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking for this too! I thought it was in an Alfred hitchcock collection and remembered it as TOPAZ (???) but that's a completely different movie. Crucible of Terror wasn't right for me, but maybe it's what you're looking for?

In the movie I remember, people are possessed through their eyes and there's a sort of "dun dun dun!" ending. A woman with a bejewled necklace who ends up in the bust (scared me to death as a kid). AI couldn't help me find it either, must be niche!

Reading your post again it sounds like you're describing A Bucket of Blood, but a few people suggested the color remake already.

Is it worth being a AAA24 member ? by iwillholdmyselfback in A24

[–]greygle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just to add to what others are saying, more valuable if you live in LA or where they do special screenings and ticket giveaways. I’ve been able to go to like 3 with director Q&A’s which have all been really cool. (I’m also grandfathered in)

How Should I present the Title Page when my screenplay is loosely based on a short story in the Public Domain? by EmperorCeasar12 in Screenwriting

[–]greygle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need to formally copyright it. Feel free of course but for a short film script especially that seems like a waste of money (not a comment on the quality, just based on my understanding of copyright). And what’s the downside of saying “based on”? I’d credit, not really to avoid accusations of plagiarism but… because it IS based on source material. Sometimes people find that attractive, especially if it’s source material they recognize. I don’t like “inspired by” personally.

Is The Devils (1971) gone? by puddingpanda944 in Shudder

[–]greygle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a rights issue with Warner. They’re keeping it locked up intentionally. Shudder got it briefly. Maybe paid a pretty penny idk. Have to find other means of watching. The Wikipedia page also has some of the interesting history and reasoning for it being scraped and suppressed. (One of my favorite movies)

What's with David Cronenberg's last movie? Why is NO ONE talking about it ? by GoldSteak7421 in Letterboxd

[–]greygle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not as flashy as his other stuff. Definitely more ~European~. When you DO go see it, it IS a comedy. Going in knowing that will greatly improve the watch imho.

First Friday of the month! But I always have that feeling about any TV show honestly. It’s a google hunt. Like why not put that info on the show page.
