JIM UHLS Screenwriting Lesson

[ewolfy1]

aaah, 240p we meet again

[roflmaodue]

There's no talent here. It's all Uhls and Fincher.

[CelosTV]

lol Fincher has to be a big time guy.

This interviewer definitely has his own style.

[THeEraSerr]

omg...was this the guy with all the head gear working behind the bar when edward norton is searching for tyler durden?

[dvon157]

Not a gasbag. Not at all. Especially like the, "money" remark in the beginning. *applause*. There's some great advice here- especially inre: not killing your work with an outline and the generous tip-off as to how the main killer in screenwriting isn't that people don't FIT THE FORMAT and etc. but how they take their creative work and shoe horn it into an analytical box and kill it. Riffing with your characters? Pissing them off, having a go with them. It's very good advice. Thanks for it

Fight Club is a movie before its time.

Jumper is a great concept for a movie. but just like alot of good script get rush into production and put together horribly.

[TheRealBladeRunner]

He wrote Jumper? OMG I had no idea. That's terrible. I was looking forward to his next project. :|

[OldMcEyeballs]

The most valuable thing I've learned from watching these clips from TheDialogueSeries is that screenwriting makes you bald. Uhls, Hamburg, Goyer, Haggis, all of 'em cueballs.

The Haggis interview I think is the most instructive, and the Goyer one is quite good too. This Uhls fellow is a gasbag.

[bcarls50]

looooll...

[bcarls50]

i laughed then and i laughed now

[novea21]

@OldMcEyeballs HAHAHAHAHAHA!! I was thinking the same about the bald thing..and being a female screenwriter hopeful, that terrifies me!!

[OldMcEyeballs]

@novea21 Female screenwriters do not necessarily lose their hair unless they realm to deep into trippy weirdo scifi - Leigh Brackett & Ursula K LeGuin were both "wiggin' out" at the ends of their lives

[OldMcEyeballs]

@novea21 Female screenwriters don't necessarily lose their hair unless they get too deep into sci-fi. Sadly Leigh Brackett and Ursula K LeGuin both ended up wiggin out

[smallcretzuli]

@OldMcEyeballs "Gasbag" is a good word.

[33388665599]

All this guy wrote was Fight Club and Jumper. Wow, is that suppose to be impressive? He's acting like he's Alfred Hitchcock. What a douchebag. He looks like he lives on a houseboat.

[doggiestyle247]

hater

[33388665599]

yes, i fucking hate him. it feels good too

[Z0mbieGenocide]

If you do not know anything about the industry why post comments like that? He has only had 2 produced scripts. Most likely he has 5, 10, or even 20 scripts that he has sold in his career. To get nay produced piece of any caliber is a sign of talent.

[TipsterStu]

@33388665599 He's talking from his own experience instead of the text books - it's useful, you don't need to like it, but it's how he succeeded

[billyboneshisfancy]

this guy is well up himself, i know he wrote a great screenplay but he should give chuck much more credit than he does

[JustAddWater69]

I like this series. I think it has a fantastic set with a great interview.

[BewareOfMyEgo]

UM...Money.

Ah, sweet capitalism

[buff2004]

if you think fight club sucked than u should probably stop watching movies.... and or not post ever again

cuz no one wants to here your opinion

[reemlsilkworm]

Dude you forgot the first rule of fight club!!

Shhh..Yeah? ;)

[zachromero]

Great movie.

[billy1307]

epistades what kind of movies do like? one watch and you're entertained. that film has more depth than Spiderman 3, which according to your comment is as far as you reach.

[epistades]

i like Fincher's stuff but "FC" was one of his worst. my opinion. and i don't remember saying anything about Spiderman 3, so you're on your own with that reference; about a million movies have more depth than that schlock.

[MMaNutz8451]

wow, i completely agree with jim regarding outlining.

[MMaNutz8451]

i'm not trying to knock the guy, but what exactly has he done? sure, he wrote fight club, but that wasn't his original idea - he had everything laid out for him. what else has he wrote?

[epistades]

Fight Club absolutely sucked.

[danthemanporto]

you should be shot

[gilbery01]

he did a great job with Fight Club
