I Got To Speak With The Screenplay Writers of 2 Fast 2 Furious & 3:10 To Yuma (2007)

Michael Brandt & Derek Haas were our guest speakers in my class today. Since they too are Baylor Bear (Baylor Alumni), they spoke to us on how they got to where they were - from graduating at Baylor and what they did then. They were quite fascinating to listen to. I noticed on IMDB.com that their new production is not listed yet - Countdown - which they are shooting this summer. Countdown is about 7 people that are is a space ship that end up crashing onto a planet where they find thier already dead bodies. They then try to figure out if they can change their fate.
After writing it, Michael decided he would produce it while Derek would direct it. They should us a "storyboarded" version of the trailer (which was wonderfully done and looks interesting). They are the screenwriters to Wanted which comes out this summer (June 27).

I took a picture; however, I didn't want to be obvious, so it's not great, but it will do.

After my class, I spoke briefly with them about Baylor Grad school, then I had to go to my next class, which actually we ended up watching the Baylor Mens Basketball game, (which we lost). Then they came in the middle of it and sat with us & watched the game. It was an overall good experience.

 

Watch Your Favorite TV Shows On the Internet - Legally

⊆ 6:39 PM by matt | ˜ 0 comments »

Depending on which network hosts your favorite TV show, go to their website & they often advertise Full Episodes for free. The media is streamming, so the faster the connection the better. Yes, there are ads, but they occur between 4-6 times during the show and they last 15-30 seconds.

The Fox Network
-Prison Break (in HD)
-Kitchen Nightmares
-Julianna Margulies' Canterbury's Law
-Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader
-The Simpsons
-New Amsterdam
-Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles



The CW Network
(haven't really had a reason to watch shows on this networl, so I can't comment on thier player)

ABC Family
-Smallville
-
WildFire

Fox Network had my favorite media player, it was convenient, and easy to switch between episodes and shows. Many of the shows has the whole season up to the current date.
ABC Family had a good viewer last year (when I was watching Kyle XY), but I cannot seem to find it, still there aren't as many shows that have full episodes, but enough to give you a start.
