Yes, let us at least let the new guy get his feet wet before trouncing his post with CAPS ON and exclamation points, shall we?

Six lines of anybody's screenplay completely out of context will likely fail to impress.

Sometimes we are not as welcoming as we might be to those who are "pretentious" enough to offer their opinions without a formal introduction.

Reign in those horses a bit, guys, instead of chasing people off.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

My point was with the level of detail, and the repeated use of "left" and "right".  It does not read well at all.  The sentence structure isn't even good.  I just don't think it's a good example to use, no matter who wrote it.

I don't think I've mentioned that before in a post before, have I?

You repeated your use of "before".  For shame.

HaHa HaHa, I did, I did.  I can't believe it.  I can't believe it.

What's wrong with me?  What's wrong with me?  Oh fuck it...

Quoted from Why One
And Dreams continues to speak with authority about what is right and wrong, and how professional readers will react.


I don't write for a reader I write for a producer or director.

I have to agree with Bert on this. I see a lot of posts trashing scripts for format and not even mentioning content.

It would be nice to see mosts posts from folks commenting on stories as well as content.
