Posted by timothy on from the brotha-you-are-goin'-down dept.

farrellj writes "According to this CBC story it seems that De Niro is looking for the next 'A Beautiful Mind, Memento or Good Will Hunting.' The script must have a scientist, mathematician or engineer as the lead charactor...And a finished script with synopsis and writer's resume must be in by Nov. 1. Submission info in the CBC story above. Now, who is writing the 'Cowboy Neal saves the world' script? "

    How about http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/arquake/

    Yes, I'm pissed off because my stories got rejected, then /. editors add insult to injury and let drivel like this get posted on the frontpage. Who cares? Do you really think that there is a hidden talent lurking here with sci-fi movie script, and /. get into the movie credit list? I'm sorry, but ./ is slowly going to hell. Our "editors" need to show a bit more ambition, or maybe they just get a kick out of pissing us off?
    Yes, feel free to mod me down, but this is just my humble opinion.
