Quoted from Ryan1
I was surprised to see the writer of B had the same general concept I did of some future plague.


That's because at first I had the same storyline (almost the same) - the president was going to remember how he had an affair with a lab technician and knocked off some bottle with a powerful bacteria... and then he was accused of raping her. I decided on the easy route.

Was very had to come up with something negative for A (I did mention three scenes in my review) but I wanted to badly!

The only real negative I would say about A was that it would be expensive to film that opening scene with the high tech stuff. Everything was well done for a couple of days work.

I wouldn't mind taking a little break.  Sunday might work better for me than Wednesday, though.  If that's ok with MC and Kevin.  And any other phantom writers out there.

Good work, Ryan.

I'm not at all surprised you're kicking ass and taking names.  My only real concern was that peeps would purposely vote against the superior script, and Thank God, that's not happening.

Continue on...

PS - Who cares if the script is expensive or difficult to film?  There are no guidelines whatsoever that limit creativity or expense in these challenges, which says to me...go balls out and write the best damn script you can within the time limit.

PSS - We should know who wrote each script...otherwise, it's rather weak that peeps can just jump in here, uninvited, and offer up a script.  Both B and C need to be outed!!!!!!

The 3rd or the 10th?  

It's easier for me to do Monday, Wednesday, Saturday (your weekdays) because otherwise things interfere with my work.  So if we could schedule for one of those days it would be good.

Quoted from leitskev
Writing and mushrooms. Hmmm.


Here is my mushroom story:

My daughter, inevitably had told her old boyfriend, "If you know my mother long enough, and not too long, you'll hear the mushroom story."

The mushroom story is about acquired taste. When I was a little girl, my grandma used to make these wonderful gravies. But the thing was, she also put mushrooms into them and I couldn't quite get the hang of their taste and so I would pluck them out. As time wore on, I thought to myself, "I love the gravy so why can't I love the mushrooms?" I started trying to eat them. I gave them a chance. Thank G-d I did!!! As a grown up I learned about eating mushrooms raw in salads. The salad deal wasn't something my family really did back in the 1970's because Dad was a freakin' hunter! And a damn good one who could cook up beaver stew and it tasted awesome!!! ... But back to the mushrooms...

Today, I love mushrooms and SCOTCH!!!!  I used to hate scotch. I'd "ew!" at my husband, but low and behold... I gave scotch a chance too and guess what happened?...

You're intelligent. You know. Thing is...

This mushroom story isn't about mushrooms at all is it. It's about giving things a chance.

As far as screenwriting goes, we can really grow a lot if we don't discount a genre or a character because we don't think it fits with our style.

What is our style?  

It's always changing.

G-d bless.

I'm off to watch a movie!!! Can you believe it?!!! Me!  

Sandra

Sunday is fine for me since not football season.

I am not surprised either. He's a great writer, and this last one seemed to be a different tact than previous ones. Shows real flexibility.

And I agree Jeff, it was not really a knock on the story. The only reason I even thought of it is because I thought the story had nice short film potential. I still think so.

OK, cool.  Khamanna...thank you.  Your entry was pretty good, and I'm sorry for commenting on it, cause I know you don't want me to, and I know I said I would stay way from your scripts, based on your response to my feedback of you short recently.

BUT...as I said...all 3 were written pretty well, and I've got to say that your writing is worlds better than in the past.  And, trust me, that is a compliment...period.  I liked your overall message and theme, and again, I thought the writing was good.

Now...fess up, C!!!!!!!!!
