    And the fact that I'm reading it, based on the BL recommendation, should show how well the site is working.

    Best,

    If you enjoy the rest of the script, I'm rooting for you to sign the kid. He's got talent. I'm a huge fan of epics, and know they are hard to pull of. This kid has the goods.

      I don't think enough people in the industry realize how much us viewers want to see more Egypt themed movies.

        Not sure of the context in which you're asking.
        Franklin, I think perhaps he meant, if you have two ratings of, say, 6 and 9, would your average rating shown on the site be 7, 7.5, or 8?

        You say above that you don't just work with whole numbers, but in glancing at a few average ratings, I don't think I've seen one that was not a whole number.

        Thanks.

I take back my criticism, I think this BL site can work really well. Because I'm assuming most people wouldn't have read a script like TUTANKHAMEN if it was queried.

          Somebody better sign this kid.
          Yeah, I'm coming around as well. $75 is a small price to pay for this kind of exposure.

If it's a studio, I imagine they would have told me more if they wanted me to come back with a revision, so I take it somewhere else, right? I suppose this can be the same with BL, meaning pay for another read, but with a baby coming in a month I think I have to suck it up and save that moolah.
            Congrats on your impending parenthood, stainjm! Changes your world, for the better. And, lots more to write about, too :>)

                And usually I try to at least reply to most of them with at least a "no thank you"

                Michael - How does one without a rep go about to query you?

                Because I can't find anything on your company via google for contact details. Is it possible if you can kindly PM me a email address so I can submit a query to you at some point?

                Thanks.

                  Yes, Michael, I also wish to spam your inbox with hordes of mindless queries.
                  I'm never wrong. Reality is just stubborn.

                    You could just post in in his thread in the agents/managers section.

                    I think at one point it might be fun to start an open query to Michael B thread, where everyone can openly post a query and logline for him to consider.

                    This would of course only be for the bravest.

                      Fortunately it's not in my nature nor do I have the audacity to spam people with such mindless emails. But all the best to those who do.

                        Thanks for the tip. But I don't think Michael B will embrace everybody querying him with loglines and submissions etc.

                          A bit off topic (aren't we always?, sorry) - but you can find him on IMDB Pro.

                          And thanks for the congrats! I imagine in about 1.5 months you'll see me on here a little bit less for some time

                            That's the beauty of it, if he doesn't like it we'll kill him and then eat him.

                              I'm trying to avoid using the IMDB Pro search. I know they offer a free trail for two weeks but then after that - if I like the service - I might be tempted to pay for it.

                              And there's so much **** one has to pay for now -- need to save some cash.

                              It's nice to see a DD writer doing well -- keep it up.
