Ah, just missed 4/20 by a few days.  This is a good idea for a short: what happens when a hero hits the herb and there's no hot pockets left in the Hall of Justice fridge.  It's well written and formatted, although I wasn't sure what the extended phone call was about at the beginning.  Also, it might have helped the comedy to have two stoned heroes attempting to make the pizzas.  Then they could have had some dialogue instead of Redeye just making the pizza alone and listening to his music.  

Officer Shrimp got stoned in a hurry, or was he already baked when he arrived?  Hard to tell.  Funny little story, but could have used a little comedy pop at the very end.  My first read, off to a pretty good start here.

Sorry, didn't get any of this. So he breaks into a pizza store to make pizzas? Cops arrive and instead of trying to lock him up they get high and join the party? Again, sorry if misread this but didn't make any sense to me.

I agree with Equinox.  I didn't get it.  It didn't make any sense to me. If he was high on drugs and got the munchies and the cops knew about his drug issues that might have led to some funny dialog, but, I didn't get it.

Sorry.


Please read my scripts:

I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good.  I enjoy writing the same.  Looking to team with anyone!

Thanks

I enjoyed it. Funny, concise, and well written. Plus a superhero that I can get behind.

Not sure why other people are saying they didn't get it. I got the impression that the police put up with the break in's because he's a super hero and fights on their side. So it's sort of like the good outweighs the bad and it's simply collateral damage. That was my take away anyways.

Furthermore, it met the requirements and I laughed. Solid entry.

Superhero has the munchies. Nice premise. Was it funny though, not a huge amount. Some decent visuals but lacking some payoff, for me anyway.

Like the the idea though. And the nod to the next break in.

If has some thing but doesn't quite deliver the knock out.

Okay, the visuals are good. It flows smoothly and, in all it's well written.

I'm also not clear as to when Officer Shrimp got stoned.

Not bad. Not a whole lot of chuckles for me.

I struggled with this one, I had to reread it and usually that's not good.

Stoners break into a Pizza joint and one is Superhero and the cops catch them and they get stoned too... I guess

Not exactly Cheech and Chong... didn't really laugh at all at this one, sorry.

Good job on entering

I didn't get this one at all. Guy breaks into a store - makes some pizza - serves pizza to cops - takes off.

The writing was fine, but I just didn't understand this in the parameters of the OWC.

Well written but I'm just not a stoner comedy fan, so fell a little flat for me.

I like the idea here, i.e. a stoner with superpowers who breaks into a pizza shop just because he has the munchies. With great power comes no responsibility, apparently. I suppose the cops really can't do anything about that, lest they get neutralized.

That said, after the cops show up, things fall flat. They don't have any real response to Red-Eye's actions beyond looking dumbfounded. I feel like there would've been some kind of exchange. There's barely one as Red-Eye prepares. They're basically reduced to props for Red-Eye to bounce his last one-liners off.

Also, is there a reason Shrimp is laughing? Did he get high or what? Not clear at all.

Almost feels like something's missing from the scene entirely. As in, some line, passage or something which would've clarified things that was outright excised from the script. Even an entire scene. The script is four pages, after all.

Anyway, idea's not bad. Execution's decent to a point, but the ending sucks and basically kills the rest in how much it doesn't pay off or even make sense.

Stoned superhero having munchies, this is a killer concept, my kinda joint so to speak.

However, the script felt bland, too mellow, and lack excitement. I was hoping for more LoLs, but just couldn't find it. Sorry.

This lost my attention pretty quickly and I ended up skimming. For a four page script that's a problem.

I guess he flies at the end, up until then I was wondering where the superhero element was. In any event, this didn't work for me at all and I didn't find it funny. Sorry.
