This is a neat idea. Pick 52 popular, award-winning, influential screenplays and read and blog on one a week for a year. That is what 52Screenplays.com has done. His first script for review is 2001 A Space Odyssey.

For other “top” screenplays, you can also check out the WGA Top 101 Scripts - Don

Thanks to Rodney and Mr. Anonymous Individual Number One and Ms. Anonymous Individual Number Two for their generous donations to help keep SimplyScripts.com simply alive. Much appreciated. Don

Hey, There are 66 new or revised unproduced scripts up on the unproduced scripts page.

Also, the discussion board is now unhosed. Apologies for the disruption.
Damn computers. - Don

Thanks to “movie fan” for the heads up on these two from Screentalk - We’ve got 2010 The Odyssey Continues and In The Mouth of Madness (filmed by John Carpenter - horror film you think?). These would be on the movie scripts page.

Just to let you know that the unproduced script submission will be going on hiatus for a week. Come back on July 17th to submit your unproduced work. In the mean time, take some time to tighten up your work. Also, the Discussion Board is going to go into ‘lock down’ mode next week. “Lock down” is where nearly all the threads are closed except those threads showcasing unproduced scripts. It, too, will be un-locked down on the 17th. - Don

Entertainment Weekly magazine has released their Top 100 Best Entertainment Websites for 2006. Imagine my surprise to find that JoBlo.com put SimplyScripts.com in such august company as Dark Horizons and RogerEbert.com. EW selected the Top 25 Entertainment Websites and asked each of those Top 25 to select 3 websites as their top picks. Berge, over at JoBlo.com was selected as a Top 25 website. He, in turn, selected SimplyScripts along with Dark Horizons and RogerEbert.com. Thanks JoBlo for picking our dorky little website. Also, the biggest thanks go to the readers, contributors and writers who visit SimplyScript and help support the site. Thanks!

Must Love Dogs Great movie.

Afghan food is good. The Panjshir has good food. I recommend the Sambosay Goshti and the Qaubili Palau. If you are a spicy wuss like me, do NOT stick your Nan in the green sauce. Seriously. I’m so taking the fat Kid and the skinny Kid there next week. “Try this green sauce.” I’m such a mean Dad… - Don

The Discussion Board is back! After 36 hours of continual uploading, the discussion board is back in business.

I’m having a time bringing back the forum. All is not lost. If you need a place to go and chat, I have a Temporary Forum set up.

Hi all,

I’m in the middle of a backup of the discussion board. It is going to take a while. In the mean time, you will get an error if you try to go to the discussion board. Apologies. The discussion board should be back up and running by Saturday, June 3 11:00 am edt. Maybe sooner.

Don

Update: I am in the process of rebuilding the discussion board. This will take a long time as I upload all the message files. New ETA Sunday noon-ish.
