someone archive this shit!
Luis Brooks
why would you read a screenplay for pleasure? the format doesn't lend itself to being an enjoyable read
Jason Baker
WOAH LOOK OUT A HELICOPTER
Cameron Ramirez
This man's appearance and success relative to my own are confirmation to me that I am an enigma in this time. A man out of time. A man from another time artificially placed into this one.
Joshua Moore
sure
Kayden Reyes
why is this guy being force memed
i saw some interview with him on that show with the two dead pan losers and he was a typical hollywood cunt
Chase Ortiz
Not for pleasure, but for edification. Just to get a good feel for how screenplays are written, the form of it, etc.
Adam Price
kys
Ryan Young
...
Jeremiah Davis
Monahan
Milch
Zaillian
Greenaway
Winter
Sorkin
Brayden Reyes
I disagree, some screenplays are very enjoyable to read, like the ones by Tarantino for example.
Christian Walker
I've read a few Sorkin scipts, they're really good. Thanks, I'll check out the rest.

i also suggest reading Cormac McCarthy's screenplays for The Sunset Limited and The Counselor. Tarantino's screenplays are fun reads, too. David Mamet is essential and the Coen Brothers, too.
Noah Gomez
Oh yes, David Mamet is great. If you haven't, you should read his non-fiction books as well, really good stuff.
Coen Brothers seem such an obvious choice, don't know why I didn't think of it.
John Scott
I like reading screenplays, but my one big issue is that so many people are uptight cunts about format, that when someone breaks from formatting rules, it makes me feel like an uptight cunt too, I can't stop fixating on that little shit.
Tarantino scripts are okay, if you can read then and not hear his voice.
Adam James
not true
Jose Walker
kys max
Michael Ortiz
yes it is
Kevin Peterson
Goddamn it Max, it's Sup Forums. People are going to shit on you and everything you've accomplished.
Hunter Nelson
nobody cares, faggot

Alexander Rodriguez
Tarantino scripts are generally fun to read because he isn't as dry and orthodox as most others. He basically writes the same way he would describe the scene in real life.
Shane Black is another good example of this, where you feel like he is funnily describing these scenes to you in person.

Landon Richardson
that new movie he wrote about the oil rig looks pretty cool desu
Ethan Ramirez
No thanks, I have a good very good life.
Anthony Harris
the Mark Wahlberg one?
Landon King
One good movie and a few meh ones came from his screenplays. Never read them, granted, only seen the end products.
Noah Adams
no some other one can't remember what the fuck it's called.
Nathaniel Cook
Shane Carruth
Julian Gray
Tarantino's screenplays are the best just for seeing what coked-up madness threw on the page before he had to seriously think of time constraints or budget
Ethan Morales
>read screenplays.
For what purpose?
Evan Morales
me again..
I think it was rather an idea that he sold to Universal or something recently
Logan White
that's true. I read the unpolished Hateful Eight screenplay that was leaked, it was really funny. Tarantino can't spell for shit. I still have it, actually.
Josiah Robinson
Who Winter? Terence?
Blake Sanders
He is a very good pitch man, a very good promoter, but I don't think he's that good of a writer.
So many of the characters sound just like Max Landis and they're all that ''picture X meets Y'' type of stuff.
Jonathan Sanders
Don't reply to those edgy shitlords that can't even be bothered to write the entire name.
Their opinions are usually completely and utterly worthless.
Gavin Jenkins
Reminder that this is what happens when Max Landis is given complete creative control
Brandon Edwards
Screenplays can offer insight into the film production.
SPOILERS: Ex Machina
Levi Davis
Charlie Kaufman
Shane Carruth
Cormac McCarthy
Blake Russell
that is some garbage writing
Lincoln Hughes
It's pretty good desu.
Joshua Roberts
It's literally describing what happens in the movie so I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about you pretentious little ass
Dylan Williams
yes, Terence. his last series, Vinyl may have been a huge miss, but his earlier stuff on The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire is stellar, not to mention Wolf of Wall Street.
Alexander Gutierrez
Why can't we just be friends?
