respoftwIf you've ever written a movie fusion fanfic before you will likely know the pain of wanting to know that precise line of dialogue or wanting to refresh your mind with that one, pivotal scene that you need to get right.
I can't even count how many times I watched the source material for my first SGA fusion fic to get those details right. I do know that it was enough times that I was heartily sick of the film when I was done! (Although it's been a couple of years now so I'm back to loving it, phew!)
So, to prevent you from that pain, allow me to recommend The Internet Movie Script Database
This site is, unsurprisingly, a database of move scripts that you can read on the internet. It's very user-friendly, you can search for a specific film, browse by genre or look at all the scripts alphabetically. Even better, all of the scripts are in .html so you can read them in your browser.
This site was a godsend for me when I was writing my second SGA movie fusion. Gone was the nuisance of having to find my DVD and then find the specific scene, jumping back and forth between chapters until I got to the bit I wanted to see again. Instead, I just kept the script page in my browser favourites until I was done, using ctrl-F to find the specific scene I needed.
Total. Game. Changer.
I hope it brings as much relief to someone else as it did to me!
*Disclaimer* They claim to be the largest source online for film scripts but they're by no means exhaustive so the specific script you're looking for might not be on there. Sometimes googling works, sometimes it doesn't. Whether the movie you fancy tackling is on there or not, I wish everyone luck! Remember and drop by the prompt post if you're looking for inspiration!
