Hilliard Guess' Screenwriters Rant Room

Hilliard, Chris, Tracy and Geoff Thorne chop it up about the future of theatrical films, Netflix and Comic Books.     Direct Link: www.bit.ly/SWRR-247     Steven Spielberg's contention over  Netflix movies and their eligibility for Oscars.     “Once you commit to a television format, you’re a TV movie,” Spielberg said. “You certainly, if it’s a good show, deserve an Emmy, but not an Oscar. I don’t believe films that are just given token qualifications in a couple of theaters for less than a week should qualify for the Academy Award nomination.”     If you are enjoying this labor of love, please consider supporting the Rant Room's Patreon with a donation - we spend innumerable hours and tremendous resources on it each week, and every little bit of support helps enormously.  If you already donate: THANK YOU.
