I got all your PMs, guys....all 2 of 'em. lol

Looks like it won't be a big turn out.  I'll send the script soon...

Send me a copy pronto so I can read on vacation. I think you have my email.

I'd be down for this! This year I've had to put reading & writing on hold up to the last couple of months after starting a business, and this seems like a good way to get me back into the swing of reading again!

For those I sent the script to, I'll post the initial thread on the 3rd....Pia will lock it...it will be re-opened on the 13th....The initial post will already have something for us to discuss, but since the thread will be locked for a bit, you'll have plenty of time to come up with a response.  Hope you guys enjoyed the script.  I thought it was awesome.

Finished the script. I can see what the fuzz was about, impressive handling of a contained thriller/horror.

I also just realized Home is currently in production. Certain elaborate discussion on a movie in production is a good idea on a public message board?

I don't know.  Didn't think of that until now.  It's up to the moderators.

Quoted from dead by dawn I don't know.  Didn't think of that until now.  It's up to the moderators.

I have no idea. I'm not a legal expert. We've done it before though. Not sure discussing a script is the same as sharing the script online. Maybe Don or Bert has a thought on this.

I am no expert, either -- but if Don had nothing to do with you guys obtaining the script, I do not see how there could be much of a problem.  At the very worst, a "cease and desist" type of thing, but even that seems quite a reach.

I will add that we have had some very interesting vistors on past Script Club threads -- folks that seemed "pro" and who have popped onto our boards for those discussions alone -- and were likely watching the internet for those titles to pop up somewhere.

Rather than stopping the conversation, however, they offered a unique perspective to the conversation.
  
I seem to recall one on the sci-fi that Breanne moderated, "Countdown" I think it was, and another on our discussion of "I Want to F*** Your Sister."  (I still think that title is brilliant)

Just saying.  You never know who is watching.

I'm not liable for what you post on the discussion board.  The worst that can happen is I get a C&D and am asked to close down the discussion.  Quite frankly, the chances of that happening are quite slim.

Would you like your script to be debated about if you were the writer in question?

I think it's a bit dodgy and probably not worth the fuss. Why not focus on recently produced scripts, or scripts that were produced back in the day and compare. Then you have the film to see what finally happened.  Is there a real need to deconstruct a script that's in production? Why?

When a script, be it a short or feature, is optioned from this site it is usually requested to be removed. Often by producers. There is a reason for that. I think discussing a script in production, on a popular movie/script forum, is not the best of ideas.

Not trying to be argumentative. But I am curious why anyone would want to read something that's ultimately not finished anyway, that's in production, and they know full well the consequences...

...And then I remember the Halloween remake. Yup. OK. I'll shut up now. Do as you do, haha.

I think we'll be fine, but we can cancel, I don't care.  I'm not reading another script, though, and someone else can run SC.

Seems like Script Club is looking for a new person to run it. Anyone feeling like stepping up and take over the job?

Let me/us know. If not, I will lock this thread and call it over with.

Well, that escalated quickly.

I suppose I could take over running it, however it's no more than a maybe for now. How many people are still interested in participating and are we still going with "Home"?

I've read the first 35 pages so far and I really like it. Would be a good script to discuss, IMO. Story keeps you interested at the same time the writing itself could be improved.

Let me know if you want to run it.
