We recommend sending us an outline, but it's not necessary. So your choice really.

Cyclopscars, I'm sad to inform you that your idea has not been greenlit. The idea is too similar to Lights Out, and to a certain extent, Connor J. J's idea as well.

The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford
Not many films give away it biggest plot point in its title, but this film does and it works perfectly. This film isn't an action film, it isn't a romance, a comedy, it's not even a classic Western, it's a character study of Jesse James and Robert Ford and everything that leads up to Jesse's untimely death.
The fact that the film title itself gives away a certain death gives every scene featuring Jesse James and Robert Ford a much larger importance and is much more tense. It also makes Robert Fords transformation from a young man who looks up to Jesse James as a hero to the man who ultimately kills Jesse all the more fascinating to watch, us asking how a man who idolizes another could come to kill him.
The performances here were amazing, particularly the two leads. Brad Pitt as Jesse James give a tortured, frightening and confident portrayal of his almost bi-polar character, while Casey Afleck gives off an annoying, clingy, at times whiny to a despicable yet tortured performance and it is perfect.
The cinematography is absolutely stunning. The blurry landscapes, the wheat fields that Pitt gracefully moves through, and the greatest train robbery scene ever. It perfectly shows the landscapes of the 1800's.
Much like Unforgiven and Deadwood it doesn't show the romanticized version most Westerns show of the time period. It shows a more gritty, more realistic version that is more true to the time.
The film also works as an allegory for the obsession people have of celebrities and the effects this plays on the individuals, shown with Robert Ford being the admirer and Jesse being the celebrity
I must say this is my favourite Western I have ever seen. The writing, cinematography and music all comes together to create one of the most emotional experiences I have seen in a long time.
Now excuse me, I have to go cry.
5/5

Depends on the format of the file you downloaded, I suppose. My computer is awful yet plays downloaded video files in HD with few issues.

If you are interested in writing an episode for The Void, then here is the place to start. All you need to do is pitch the episode here. Nothing too complex or anything, just a couple of lines, a paragraph or two at most. For example: Allan Tolliver, newly sentenced, arrives at Ptolomaea Prison late and is quickly thrown into a cell with bunkmate Henry James. As the guards yell "Light's out", they prepare to sleep. However, Allan notices the cell door is open, and that the rest of the prison seems to be empty... What he steps into is nothing short of Hell...Once you have done so, Amin and myself will discuss it and tell you whether or not it has been green-lit. Once you have the greenlight, you write...

Finally decided to give this series a go.
Just finished the episode that introduces the Mord-Sith. I found the series was a little slow at first, little cheesy, but I'm really starting to get into it.

American Psycho
A film about a handsome educated, Wall Street success doesn't sound that interesting. A film about a handsome educated, Wall Street success who is also a man who kills, rapes and tortures strangers and friends alike. Now that is interesting.
American Psycho is dark, bloody and humorous film about Patrick Bateman, a lifeless suit, "I have all the characteristics of a human being, but not a single identifiable human emotion, except for greed and disgust", except when killing.
There is no doubt that this is a bloody film, many of the murders uncomfortable, like the stabbing of a homeless man and the stomping of h is dog. As the film goes on, however, the kills become more and more insane, like dropping a chainsaw on a girl or two police cars being blown up by a single handgun, and by the end we (and Bateman) are left wondering if it was real.
This, in my opinion, is Christian Bale's greatest role, that I've seen at least. He is confident, arrogant, forceful and at times, sadistic. The rest of the cast is also great, with Reese Witherspoon as Batemans fiance, Samantha Mathis as his mistress, Matt Ross as a closet homosexual, Willem Dafoe as the detective investigating the disappearance of one of Batemans victims, and Chloe Sevigny as Bateman's secretary who is almost unendurably vulnerable.
The only real issue I have with it is it becomes a bit repetitive as we come up on the end.
This fil is completely fascinating and strangely funny, I recommend this as a must-see for everyone.
4/5

screenrant.com/supernatural-season-8-10-jeremy-carver/... I'm not sure how I feel about this.... After season 6 and 7 and the mediocre quality of those seasons, I have alot of doubts about this path. Plus 10 seasons is alot for a show. On the other hand, with Jeremy Carver as Showrunner, I have a glimmer of hope. Not alot, but a bit.

The Amazing Spiderman
It's been years, and still the memory of a dancing Peter Parker is burned in my mind. Thankfully, this movie comes and fixes some of the damage caused by that scene.
I was initially hesitant of the film, seeming like a cheap reboot to score a few bucks. Didn't help that I noticed similarities between Andrew Garfield and the new Dante in DMC Devil May Cry. However, I was pleasantly surprised with it.
Andrew Garfield is the best version of Peter Parker/Spiderman that I have seen. Sorry Tobey McGuire... Emma Stone herself was also amazing as Gwen Stacy. I found myself liking her much more than MJ. Sure, MJ is a redhead, but Gwen Stacy will always be my favourite Spiderman girl.
Much like the film itself, I was hesitant about the Lizard being the villian. Rhys Ifans, however, done a terrific job with him, and his slow decent into a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" type character really made him one of the best things about this film.
Much of the origin story had already been done in the previous 2002 Spiderman, but some of it was handled much better here. The spider bite scene always felt a little stupid in the 2002 version, while here it makes much more sense.
The connection between Peters deceased parents and the current plot was excellent to see, something the original trilogy was missing.
It also features the best and funniest Stan Lee cameo yet.
Quite a good film overall. A bit of it felt a little familiar, but there was enough originality for me to really enjoy it.
8/10

Snyder didn't write it, so that's a positive. Plus Christopher Nolan is involved so it may be incredible.
