Yeah, we've got an interesting little group of scripts coming. Which, oh which, to read first? I'm getting excited thinking about the order I'm going to read them in. =)
My deepest apologies, Pia. I didn't mean to be so flippant with your name. I have a (bad?) habit of abbreviating people's names if more than two syllables - even when I speak to people I hardly know, I do it!
Yep, I'm looking forward to reading the scripts. And, like Pia, I am looking for some helpful feedback for mine. I've got a real fondness for it, and may enter it in a comp if its deemed ok. Cheers stevie
I know exactly what he meant. First rule of social etiquette is to not make fun of or alter someone's name or chosen nickname. You don't call Don Donny, Shelton Sheltie, bert Berty Basset or George Willson GW.
Take it easy Stevie, I'm not mad, I was trying to be helpful.
Balt, I hear what you are saying. I'm not exactly proud of mine, but will post it anyway. Hopefully with some feedback, I can turn it into something decent at least.
Cornetto, I know you can write one in hurry! Go for it! I know Jeff can too...
Sandra, I'm proud of you. I'm sure yours is a real trip.
Hey, the name game!!!
Sandra-Sandra So Sandra Banana Fana Fo-Fandra Me-Mi Mo-Mandra- Sandra!!!
2:40, unless that was sarcasm. Seriously, though, it didn't seem like it would ever end. And, I swear, I've never seen a movie with so many close calls involving planes. Ever. Lol.
I love the title!!! It's truly miraculous when that happens. Last night a song inspired me to write a poem and what is surprising is how a person never knows when something like that is going to happen, it just does.
In the thick of the woods and cutting trails. Better make sure I watch the shadows when they get long so I can get back to the cabin safely before nightfall.
"Things have changed" sums up the state of my script...
The logline, the pointed, but circuitous way that the road is going... things are the same, but things have changed...
In a logline thread that was recently started, I actually posted this:
You are the characters in a Virtual World where the spirit of Christmas defines the lives of the actors. As the actors try to help a child in grief and an old woman in a mysterious conflict, you probably figure out how it should go.
**Did I really mean that? Or was I just going off the deep end? I don't know. Some of that holds very true, but I don't know if I can bring it down to a level of understanding for normal people that live and breath. This is a Virtual Script and so, I'm really not sure.
I'm also not sure of all the things that don't seem to belong in a "Christmas Script", but what the Hell? It's Virtual, right?
You wouldn't believe it, but yeah, it's true and the pink elephants are flying:
When a job goes wrong, underworld enforcer Cage returns to his home town to hide out, but finds himself haunted by the ghosts of Christmases Past
I am not great at loglines, and this one needs work, but sums it up OK. I have it quite well worked out in my head now - even have the last scene in which Cage... but no, better leave it for the screenplay.
