Seeing yourself on Screen

I was reading some Articles about some A-list actors who hate seeing themselves on the Big Screen. Is this common amongst actors? How do you deal with it?

Dale Sheldon

That's why I work on stage, lol

Jay Croot

Hey Leon it depends on the actor, personally I feel awkward and highly critical, but I know some actors who love the limelight Jay Croot

Leon Reaper

Script finished, 97 pages done. Thank god for that -__-

Success - Luck or Skill

Can a film succeed? (whether that be in awards or profit) Is it all down to Luck or is it possible to succeed if the effort is put in?

Leon Reaper
Characters with limited dialogue

Characters like Mad Max and Kevin Costners character in Waterworld. They don't have an extensive amount of dialogue but what makes audiences connect with them?

Leon Reaper

I'll do that, thanks

Critics

Are critics too harsh on their evaluations of a film? Are they partly to blame for why films are now remakes rather than going for original? What's the best way to look at them if they are talking about your own film?

We never rely on reviews to determine whether or not we'll go see a film or not (basically we don't rely on reviews for anything, we rather experience ourselves), especially not online ones. One of th...

I remember when Siskel and Ebert would be on and I would sit and watch that show simply because they would talk about all aspects of the film they were reviewing. It seems now that any person can revi...

Couldn't agree more, Madeline. But that's also why the selfless rise above on social media. Those who give get noticed. Those who blend in with the noise get lost.

The Death of Good Screenwriting in Hollywood?

“The Death of Good Screenwriting in Hollywood" is a bold title of an article (see link below) designed to grab the reader's attention, as it successfully did with me. UK writer Tom Jolliffe offers a reasonable thesis about the mindless dreck Hollywood is gleefully continuing to make, while also stat...

I believe crap films start as good films and get killed by 'collaboration' along the way. 'The Postman' for example, started off about a bad man that came good as the world recovered from an apocalyps...

Dan MaxXx That's what the other dude was saying about horror flicks. ;)

Film Success

Even if Hollywood doesn't notice a film that gets made, do all films still get notoriety? or does that depend on the marketing of it?

Leon Reaper
Action sequences

In my opinion, these are the hardest to write in a script. So many possible ideas and everything happening all at once(unlike dialogue and everything else slow-paced) like car chases, fight scenes and Major Battles. How can I describe them? should I just list what Could be put in it and just allow the director to handle it on the day of filming?

Phillip E. Hardy, "The Real Deal"

Allen J: you're right, the action in Black Hawk Down is truly superlative.

Bill Costantini

SHOUT OUT to The Bride in the Kill Bill trilogy...one of the best-written action heroes, and some of the best-written action films of ALLLLLLLLLLLL TIME!

I've heard it both ways: Some people say don't "direct" in your script (leave it to the choreographers and directors, et. al.); others say write it out, or else the reader will think you haven't done...

Haters

How do you guys deal with them?

Leon Reaper

And I don't mean constructive criticism, The A-holes I mean.

Richard Gustason

I don't deal with them at all. I move along.

Actor

Hello, I'm an actor in Ohio and I'm always interested to connect or help out people in the industry.

Welcome Sherri. How is the industry in Ohio? I'm always fascinated to hear how things are outside of Hollywood. Is there much film/TV work or is it mostly stage?

Sherri Semine

It's not bad, but I don't have much to compare it with. I've never tried it anywhere else. Ohio has a film incentive and a few Hollywood films have come through here. I auditioned for Schwarzenegger's film, but did't get it.

Sherri Semine

Thanks. Nice to meet you.
