Yes, an ornament will be just fine. Thanks for the endorsement, Dave! As long as it's not haunted or creepy.
P.S. Just read your Blacklist summation, Dave. I know little of its machinations other than it's meant to be the crème de la crème of screenplays and talent, along with the Bloodlist (my auto-correct just wrote bloodlust) and the Hitlist, of which many of the same scripts appear.
Plenty of them I read and I think, huh, that's superior talent with storytelling? That said, I'm interested in what makes it onto these lists.

Yes - I am interested too as I think it is an indication of story topics that are being marketed.
Headhunter (the one about the cannibal) is soooo cringy and bad. It reads like a bad Bret Easton Ellis rip off (or any script written by BEE himself). What a bummer.

Bubble and Squeak is so cutesy and sickly-sweet it's like throwing up in your mouth, then having to swallow it because you're with other people, and then it comes up again, and again, and again.
Saying that it is really well written and a breeze to get through. And I have little doubt a certain demographic will predictably lap it up.
After almost 30 pages, I closed Headhunter. It just wasn't my thing. It read like a comedy to me. A bit like American Psycho. I was intrigued by the cannibal thing and thought it would be a horror, but... I'm personally not interested in people with huge amounts of money living in NYC and the constant V.O. telling me about high-end clothes and jewelry brands. I did not connect with the main character in any way. I couldn't care less about what happened to him. Obviously, this script made an impression on some readers though.
