That would be as narrow-minded as if I assumed that the lack of tact you displayed in this comment meant that you were an insensitive troll.<br /><br />And there is a world of difference between stating one's preferences as it relates to films they seek out in their free time (as this post discusses) and evaluating a script as it suits the needs of the people one reads for. When I read for a production company or an agent, sure, my tastes come into play - but it's paramount that I know the tastes and preferences of the people I read for and apply that to my own analysis.<br /><br />But thanks for outing yourself as "Guy Who Lacks Manners and Has No Idea What He's Talking About."The Bitter Script Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575166527272639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-56737861312700154292010-03-16T22:29:20.580-07:002010-03-16T22:29:20.580-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11090167541367993722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-57404377341645610452010-03-09T16:53:27.366-08:002010-03-09T16:53:27.366-08:00I'll watch any of the nominated on satellite b...I'll watch any of the nominated on satellite but am not going out of my way.<br /><br />You mentioned "MILK", it really is above par in writing as well as acting, I was surprised and fascinated.Brian Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277096481969362359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-46612795776310821392010-03-09T12:57:19.694-08:002010-03-09T12:57:19.694-08:00The only movies on the list that interested me wer...The only movies on the list that interested me were 'District 9' and 'In The Loop'. I have seen the former but not the latter, as yet. I'm sure 'Avatar' looks good, but the story is of no interest. 'The Hurt Locker' suffers from being made while the war is still being fought. I don't believe that, in general, people want to start processing an event they are still experiencing. The other films on the list are of no interest to me.Viviennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16633181233804614120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-67341901179645580612010-03-09T09:26:41.254-08:002010-03-09T09:26:41.254-08:00Just in one way this time.

I had mild interest in seeing Precious, but when they showed that scene of Monique during the Best Supporting Role portion of the awards, I was immediately sold on the film.Emily Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02163221455899041141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-2462858333430944572010-03-09T07:36:00.047-08:002010-03-09T07:36:00.047-08:00The awards season affects my viewing habits to a d...The awards season affects my viewing habits to a degree. There are movies I probably wouldn't take the time to watch if not for the awards screeners I get in the mail (for the WGA awards).Ryan Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12171317748419259984noreply@blogger.com
