TServo2049 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) I was going to put in a joke about how it was debatable that A Beautiful Mind was actually a better script than Batman & Robin, but decided against it. Now that I know someone agrees with me, I will confirm that said comparison was kind of meant to be a joke. And Coolio, are you saying the script for Pirates 1 was bad, or the script for Lone Ranger was good?

filmlover Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 A Beautiful Mind is still one of my favorites. Bye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I know someone who worked on this movie's VFX at MPC (He worked on the shots featuring CG boat models). That must be deflating to know that all your hard work get flushed in the toilet and the movie you worked on get panned all around. My uncle also worked on the effects. But in terms of effects itself, I didn't think it was bad. Don't fret for him though, he already did San Andreas and Furious 7 this year, and has The Huntsman and Star Trek Beyond for next year.

CoolioD1 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 And Coolio, are you saying the script for Pirates 1 was bad, or the script for Lone Ranger was good? yes. meaning idk. I enjoy both movies but how good are those scripts really? shits are messy as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Also, I am looking over past Black List nominees and winners. Here are some stinkers (either quality-wise or BO-wise) that came from Black List screenplays: All About Steve The Beaver Broken City 47 Ronin The Arthur remake The Last Stand The Watch Gangster Squad Bad Words Self/Less Run All Night Transcendence If these scripts were liked within the industry, does it mean the drafts on the Black List would have made better movies? Or that a good script doesn't necessarily make a great movie? Or that the people nominating these films for the Black List don't actually know quality? (It can't be that, plenty of good movies have come from Black List scripts too.) Just weird. Edited October 11, 2015 by TServo2049 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 yes. meaning idk. I enjoy both movies but how good are those scripts really? shits are messy as fuck. Maybe. I should have just left it at JP/TLW. That made my point enough, that someone can write good scripts/scripts that become good movies, and bad scripts/scripts that become bad movies.

CoolioD1 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I've read enough blacklist scripts that were straight up shitty. I'm sure some of them were beautiful little butterflies crushed by the boot of studio system (< comment really only here for tele's benefit) but like A TON probably aren't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 The script for this movie was on the Black List for 2013. Where did everything go so wrong from such presumably promising beginnings? Merely being on the so-called black list does not make a movie "promising". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Production is hell, and perhaps the right people weren't involved with the various projects ("right people" doesn't automatically mean the original writer, either). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Merely being on the so-called black list does not make a movie "promising". No, but it certainly makes the script promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 No, but it certainly makes the script promising. Disagree. I don't really care what everyone else likes; the fact that everyone likes it doesn't make it promising, to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 And my original point is that Jason Fuchs having written Pan doesn't automatically mean Wonder Woman, or anything else he writes, will turn out badly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
