I was talking more about the way it's written. Produced/Purchased scripts always seem to read different to me. It's all a crap shoot, really, but it could potentially be a good gauge for the writer. If it were unproduced that is. I doubt the writer of a sold script would care.
The produced/not produced doesn't matter to me so much right now. For me it's something that has some kind of meaning woven into it like Cindy Keller's "Garbage".
Then again, I think every script has meaning woven into it; so I don't know what I'm talking about right now.
Yeah, you can tell a produced from an unproduced -- the unproduced one is often better.
In all honesty, though, not disclosing the state or writer of the script has some appeal to it. The only hang up is that whoever selects it will know and the writer will have to submit an "unlabeled" copy. This would cause a minor problem in that the script club was intended to provide a different insight than just a review that was to be posted on the script's thread.
Something to consider as well... What if it were a fully produced one and part of the deal is to compare the script to the final movie? Some scripts undergo some pretty vast changes between paper and film. Labyrinth comes to mind right away.

Yep. Understood what you were talking about after I posted it.
I would like to do a produced script. But based on past experiences I think it's counter productive. Very few people want to criticise sold scripts.
Therefore, I think what would benefit people most would be to do an unproduced script. I had hoped I would have my rewrite of Demon Beach done in time but it doesn't look like that will happen.
Any script is pretty much ok with me as long as it isn't a western or war movie.
Mcornetto, as far as western or war "movies" (not exactly the same as script) genre is rarely the problem when it comes to bad or boring scripts or movies.
I don't expect this to be part of script club, but I finished reading Frost / Nixon yesterday and recommend it if anyone what's to read a good script where action is dialogue. Within the script they liken the two to boxers. Fitting.
And, what's this Killer Game?
Commodus: But the Emperor Claudius knew that they were up to something. He knew they were busy little bees. And one night he sat down with one of them and he looked at her and he said, "Tell me what you have been doing, busy little bee..."
It should be an unproduced, member script. Don has expressed his preference for that privately, and that should be trump, I think.
It should definately be a member who is active on the boards -- in terms of reviews -- not just posts.
I would hesitate (a bit) about putting someone's very first script out there. As this is meant to be a learning experience, it should perhaps be someone with a proven track record of generating scripts that are both readable and correct in terms of the mechanics of storytelling.
And it should be something posted on the boards -- with the same version accessible to everyone. Not something that has to be emailed around.
I am not sure why concealing the name of the author would really make that much difference, and it would probably generate more confusion than anything.
I'm always in Pia. For me it's fine and i don't mind if the script is from a member or a produced script.
As for suggestions I'm not sure. If bert has a new feature he hasn't told us about then let's go with it hehe. Or one of Mike's script. Still i'm interested in reading one of Mr.Z features when he has one finished.
Let's wait for Killer Game to be finished first so we can focus totally here.
If by “twist his arm” you mean a private strip on webcam, I’m good.
Seriously, I’m flattered that my name was dropped, but the script you’re talking about needs a very serious rewrite, and I wouldn’t want to receive feedback on things I already know aren’t working.
It's far from "finished", despite the fact that I typed "Fade out".
