Quoted from Dreamscale, on "Stranded"
First of all, this is almost identical to another script of yours, "An American Horror". There are many, many exact sentences within. Also, many of the same scenes, and definitely the same story.
And you've done it again, here, with a story identical to "Stranded" that simply has a new title slapped onto it.
Are you even around, Kenneth? Please stop taking up space this way.
There are methods for resubmission of a script -- and if you want to change the title of an existing script, just drop me a message, OK?

LOL! That's funny...as Bert just pointed out, this is literally identical to "Stranded" as far as I can tell in the first 10 pages. I think the locale has changed, but everything else appears to be a carbon copy. I love the opening line about the woman's singing voice being "normal voice, not sweet like Jewel's". That is classic! Simply classic!

Obviously he doesn't even bother to read the reviews of his work, this isn't a revision of any kind...the characters still spout more profanity than Goodfellas and Scarface combined...Kenneth if you want anyone to actually read this please tell us why ...? It has left me confused and bitter.[bert's edit: Don has pulled "American Horror" and "Stranded" from the boards, as they were all essentially the same script]
13 feature scripts, 2 short subjects. One sale, 4 options. Nothing filmed. Damn. Currently rewriting another writer's SciFi script for an indie producer in L.A.

Hey, just a head's up...the auther actually contacted me via E-Mail awhile back after I posted a review of both Stranded and American Horror. I think he asked something about how to make his "horror" scenes better, and I respnded that wasn't the main issue, and that he needed to come up with a new fresh idea, and stop regurgitating the exact same story. At least based on that, he is reading his reviews and cares enough to at least ask for some further advice.
