scifi feature screenwriter seeks collaborator

Me: a kickass Bay Area feature scifi screenwriter & filmmaker looking for a screenwriting collaborator.

You: have a unique ability at writing, passionate about scifi, willing & eager to write, rewrite, and sell co-written feature screenplays to Hollywood.  Ideally you are located in Bay Area as well, but not 100% necessary if you kickass & deliver the goods.

I have 3-4 screenplays in various stages, all needing rewrites.  I'd like to do something 100% on our own, or I'm willing to share my projects with you for finishing.  If we don't finish a draft we can sell, what's the point?


IMO a feature screenplay first draft can be written in 30 days (about 6pgs / day), but a more reasonable goal is 90 days.  Making it 100% superpowered & bulletproof requires at least a few rewrites.

Anyone?  Bueller?  Bueller?  Bueller?

Heroes & Castles 2 for Android -- a solid 5 star game -- Tip / Trick

This is a great game for Android & iPhone.  It's a 3rd person Tower Defense that plays more like a 3D 'Battle Chess' with all kinds of creatures.

This game is a very high quality & could be a console game.

**Highly recommended**

My current lineup (July 2015) is:
Edgar, Human Paladin, level 21
Skills:
Paladin 16: Divine Intervention 5 (max), Holy Punishment 1, Holy Vengeance 1, Retribution 3, Trauma 1, Blessed 4 (max), Holy Shield 1
Knight 4: Knightly Training 4, First Strike 1
Equipment:
Rare 1h Sword (+26 DMG, 5 STA/attack), Epic Elven Shield  (+22 ARM, +.5S Block, +20 dmg vs Goblins), Rare Armor (+35 ARM), and common Rune (+20 starting Command Pts).
Notes: His big strengths are healing everyone around him and he hits really hard.  His magic spells are both awesome.  He moves slowly and can't get around much, but he can take a few good hits.
Strategy: He has to stay right in the fight b/c he heals everyone and can stun so often.

Likya, Elf Ranger, level 21
Skills:
Ranger 15: Camouflage 4, Sniper 5 (max), Quickness 1, Cutting Arrows 1, Precision Aim 3, Sharpened Arrows 1
Grandmaster 3: Weaponmaster 2, Quickstrike 1
Druid 2: Root 1, Treeman Retinue 1
Equipment:
Rare Short Bow (+19 DMG, +8% CRIT, 1 STA/attack), Rare 1h Sword (+12 DMG, 2 STA/attack, +15% attack speed), Epic Armor (Mobility 54% and 12% Vampirism), Rare Rune (15 AP and 8% unit discount).
Notes: This Elf is crazy fast, and he won't drop if he's killing a lot b/c of Vampirism, or he runs away & stays still (Root).   He hits a lot, but not very hard.  Dryad guard are only moderately helpful, Cutting spell helps Shortbow a lot.
Strategy: shoot a lot at first, pull a lot of troops out, racing around the board to fight as needed, then back up & go back to shooting & managing.  His location doesn't matter so much, more important that he stays alive!

My strongest units are Captains.  I just maxed Paladins, and have beefed up Elven Archers and Dwarven Iron Helms.
Just figuring out 'super strategies', but some castle waves are brutal & I lose & beat with mercenaries & go back later to get that last crystal.  Despite the frustration, I love this mechanic b/c it really highlights my progression when I go back & mop the floor on that level later.

My trick for items: (Reposted from H&C2 Wikia)
with 9-10 crystals minimum, save your game to cloud.

Go to Blacksmith & buy 1-2 items.

If you got a rare (or better) that you want, save game to cloud again (locking in item to your save).

If you didn't get anything exciting, blow the rest of the crystals on items just to see what you get (only for curiosity), then reload your game from cloud.

Suddenly you have all your crystals back, no purchased items, and can do go shopping again.

While this is a classic savegame cheat, after doing it ~20-30x, I got a few Epic items.

Wish I'd thought of this trick sooner!

Avengers 2: Age of Ultron -- disappointed review with spoilers

I'm a comic book fan, an Avengers fan. I laughed out loud a few times at this movie, would give it a "that was OK", but I'm not particularly an Avengers 2 fan.
Here's why: **WITH SPOILERS**

Avengers 2: Age of Ultron - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2395427/combined

Problems:
1 - Romance with Hulk & Black Widow - totally unnecessary, non-cannon material. Hulk character development was missed, Black Widow has self-hatred.
2 - Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver - not well utilized, arbitrary death (which is a Whedon hallmark, unfortunately). Witch seemed to have 3 lines. (I was elated that Quicksilver was Kick Ass -- but then he was unnecessarily killed, which was a crushing blow.)
3 - Hawkeye's secret family - 99% sure this isn't from comics, 100% sure it wasn't EVER necessary. The only reason I'd want this godawful segment, which I didn't, was to see Hawkeye croak. He's an awkward enough hero, but so easy to replace -- get the next schmuck a bow & neat arrows & no powers. Done. (Where's his dumb mask, btw?)
4 - Vision & Ultron - all the joy/villainy of these characters was bypassed. Ultron didn't make much sense, and radically departed from his comic self -- and why did he need to have animated metal lips AND an anatomically incorrect body? Make a metal dong, or make him cyborg smooth -- but you can't have both. Vision -- so much opportunity to have a Spock-like logical rational non-humanoid entity, so little exploration. Jarvis' humor was only good as a sidekick to Robert D Jr's over-the-top ness.
5 - Thor & hammer -- meh
6 - Captain America -- did he even get any opportunities in the film?
7 - Iron Man -- how could HE get upstaged?!??!

Final parting disappointments:
No after-credits scene (no schwarma w/new team??!), mid-credits scene wasn't really 'a scene'. Plot was a chaotic maelstrom. Wakanda / Vibranium piece was unnecessary. Endless Ultron drones = zero tension. Seemed like 5 long unnecessary fights, would have done better with a few meaningful encounters. Scrapping Pym was a mistake, he and Wasp are core to Avengers.
Nick Fury has what? I thought he was going underground somehow, not running around with a giant ... you-know-what.

Anyway, I probably could whine more, but I'm going to have to watch it a few more times to see if I missed some hidden gems and somehow wind up liking it more. For now, it was a C film -- damaged by too much money & talent, but desperately needing help with the writing / plot.
