Been a while, about over 2 years since we last had a Script Club. I'm itching to get it going again and I was going to run it, but only if there's any interest....so hence the creation of this thread. Anyway, Script Club - for the newcomers and those who vaguely remember it - is where we pick a script and we dissect it in sections for X amount of days. For example, protagonist, story, character, structure, etc. shit like that. It's really fun and a good learning experience. So I'm just making this thread and putting out feelers to see how many are interested in bringing back this cool concept.
If anyone IS interested, I discussed with Pia a reading schedule.... we both feel some point AFTER Christmas & the New Year is definitely the best time to get this going... it'll give everybody time to settle in and relax after the hectic holidays.
As for what script we will read, well, we can do a pro script or a Blacklist or Bloodlist script. Or maybe even an Oscar nominee. I would like to do a script by an SS member, but it's gotta be really fucking good. But we'll worry about the script later, first we need people to be interested and on board with the idea.
So what's everyone say?

I nominate "Damn you, Bruce" for teh script choice.
Okay, so for those interested, what type of script would you like to see discussed?
Not suggesting anything, but it occurred to me just now that we've never discussed a TV show. As you probably know, TV shows, that's where the "hot" writing is happening right now....
I knew "Damn You, Bruce" sounded familiar (Turns out, I actually read it a while back). I did a Google search and the first thing that popped up was the PDF and Simply Scripts. It's a short, about 15 pages, and a full-fledged pisser that we will not be wasting our time with. It's about a guy who kills himself and his blood gets into an "old automatic in ground pool cleaner" and "Somehow Bruce's soul gets trapped inside the piece of pool equipment" and goes on a kill crazy rampage. haha. The first page is hilarious, but for all the wrong reasons.

So, what does everyone want to read? A script by an active SS member or a produced script or something from the blacklist or Bloodlist? I read the ones on the Bloodlist. I wasn't too crazy about them to be honest. I don't even know why Bullies was even on the list. IMHO, it was a drama, not a horror.
I really like the Script Club idea. I'm interested.
And I'd be up to read anything, apart from maybe, "Damn you, Bruce 2". Though, I did like Angry Bear's idea about discussing a TV show. Some detailed analysis on how a pilot looks with possible character/storyline expansions etc. in mind is something that should be useful for any writer, imo at least. Especially considering TV writing usually goes unnoticed on here and having a TV pilot in a writer's resume is gaining significance.
EDIT: https://sites.google.com/site/tvwriting/ Links to some TV pilots if anyone's interested. It has 16 pilot scripts from the 14-15 season in US, for example.
