So are we talking about a script that has been possibly beaten into the ground already, is probably production ready, and could use a final polish or two from some in-depth discussion to really show off the holes in it? Using one that has been hit before by more than one reviewer and that the author has been willing to rewrite already might be a decent choice. That way we're not all just flapping our gums over something that'll never change.
By the same regard, I would think a first draft of anything would not be the best choice.
Oh, and Busy Little Bee, for the Killer Game, check out the "SS Craven" threads.
Boy this thread sure took off! That's great people are still interested. The boards seem to me to have been pretty quiet lately except for the Killer Game thread. Maybe some new people would be interested in this as well.
Any script or genre is fine with me.
Does anyone want to be our "host/hostess" to guide us through the different subjects to be discussed?
and Z... I thought last time we did the webcam thing your computer crashed.
Ahhh, another Script Club...cool. I'm way in for sure! Just found this thread, and glad I did.
I say we should definitely do an unproduced script from someone in here that offers alot of their time and opinions, in regards to reviews, posts, and just downright help.
"Demon Beach" would have been an interesting choice, as it has just about everything you can imagine...great writing...not so great wriitng, hilarious scenes, wierd scenes, whacky characters, bizarre story, unique approach...uh...alot of stuff I guess.
Count me in, and be prepared for my usual complete and utter "pull no punches" honesty in what I think.
I'd also say we should most likely wait until the final corpse has hit the deck on the SS Craven...but we should come up with some options for the new featured Script Club script.
I'm not so sure I did that good last time. This is still a fairly new idea and we don't seem to have a solid format to follow...
DS, I'm glad you're planning on participating. I would like to do Demon Beach too... maybe we can wait a couple of weeks for Michael to finish his? Would be a nice little present to go with his excellent handling of the KILLER GAME and his new moderator status.
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".
Thanks for considering my work, though.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that "Fade Out" really DOES MEAN: Fade out- for awhile anyways... until... until... I don't know what the hell I'm talking about...
You know how hard it is to read that and not go suggesting something?
I did have to ponder it though, since most moderator scripts tend to be read to death, and I did come up with something (conceitedly, it is one of my own). I have one that is a no-budget wonder that I plan on shooting sometime within the next six months. It hasn't been read too much to speak of on the boards, and I planned on hedging my way through once more before tearing it apart to plan shooting it. It's on the drama board, and it's called JAGGED. It clocks out to all of 78 pages, so it's not too long.
This time next year, you'll be able to watch it (provided all goes as I plan). I know that's a shamelessly self-promotional plug, but if we don't promote ourselves, God knows, no one else will. Thought I'd throw that out in case it draws any interest.
I don't think it has to be a moderator's script, but I know George and I have read a lot of his scripts. I know he knows his way around the art of writing a screenplay.
I think it would be a great help if we all helped George write the best script possible since he will film it. That's what we should be doing. Helping each other. Cheer each other on and when possible help our fellow writers succeed.
We can do Captain Cornetto's next and maybe one of mine I'm planning to film after that.
