"I recently wrote this thing. But no one cares. So I’m gonna post it here for sh*ts and giggles. For one day. One day only."
Man, what a cry for help.
Yes, I know I'm only giving in to his desperate cry for attention. But I thought, "what if I read the next morning that he's found sitting in his closet, naked from the waist down with his mouse cord wrapped around his neck."
Like you, I'd think, "I could have done something to prevent that." Or, "Man, he really should have researched the finer points of auto-erotic asphyxiation..."
Now that I have done everything humanly possible in my power to prevent the aforementioned from happening, I'm going finish reading Die Screaming. - Don
P.S., Bert, I know it isn't a script review, but I expended all of my brain cells writing the post and couldn't find a more appropriate place for the posting. Please move as you see fit. I promise I won't make this mistake again. Please don't ban me...
I hope this guy won't read Baltis' and Jeff's reviews of his script...I mean, that would be terrible if he tied his mouse cord around something on his body and cut off oxygen to that particular part of his naked lower half of his body.

I must have missed the reviews. Where are they? I have to put a link up to it.
So what's the deal with this then? Anyone know? I am gonna make a guess that this guy has pulled of an absolute genius bit of self promotion here.
The guy gives the world an absolute screamer of a script in Balls Out that I am pretty sure just about everyone ended up reading. It was obviously a pisstake, obviously never gonna get made, but to many it was one of the funniest scripts ever written. And while it totally polarised people, with as many hating it as loved it, it still got read.
So then to follow it up he produces a decently enough written, pretty ordinary and run of the mill slasher/serial killer script with some original deaths and gore, but nothing really that new or clever. But the thing is, I bet you this thing got read, I bet this got read by loads of people based purely on Balls Out.
If this was his plan all along then gotta say it is a bit genius. Anyone know if this got bought?
Hey Murphy, do you want me to email you the script?
Or have you got it already?
I am not sure if it has been sold or not, but what you are talking about sounds pretty right... it will get read by many, many people. Good work on his/their part.
It was okay, not really my thing but for what it was it was well written and worked well. The guy can write I will give him that. Would love to know if the whole Balls Out thing was planned from the start to just get his follow ups widely read. I am impressed if it were the case.
