hey e. nigma (if that IS your real name),

got into this a good bit but had to stop. i'm guessing it would have been right at around the start of the second act, after the dancing scene.

i realize this is silly but it would help a ton if this was in pdf format and i knew how many pages it was. really shouldn't matter, i know, but not knowing where i was going made it hard to read. it's like taking a road trip with the kids: 'are we there yet? are we there yet? now?'

just thought i'd mention that, for what it's worth.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. I used Final draft to format into html, and I never really cared for the way it came out on the internet as well. The problem was I had Vista, and for some reason, Vista won't allow Final Draft to convert to PDF. I'm running Windows 7 now, and it does. I'll do that for my future work from now on. Thanks for the input though, and it's not silly. Valid request. :-D

P.S. It's broken into 5 html pages. 107 actual script pages. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem with Vista. There is a fix for it though on the Final Draft draft site. Have a look though, I'm sure you'll find it. If not, PM me.

Appreciate it, but I'm with Windows 7 now, and it works perfectly. I'm even able to use my speech control again which I didn't have since going from XP to Vista. I have so many scripts I need to listen to now that I wrote with Vista! All my previous scripts I posted were with Vista, so eventually I'll probably go in there and swap them all out for PDF files(Sounds like a labor day weekend project). Thanks again though.

thanks, kidd8th, it does help. five html pages is very doable. i'll let you know when i'm finished.

well i made it through. pretty easy read once i knew how long it was.

it's a novel idea for a movie though it followed the standard, 'boy meets girl...' formula
a little too well for my taste. i also found the dialogue to be very on the nose at times.
doesn't leave anything to the imagination.

few chuckles here and there, especially when you dragged kobe into it. that was great.

not a bad script at all. best of luck with it.

Thanks for the feedback on it. Yeah I know it followed the boy meets girl thing, I just thought it was a unique way to find some one in the least likely place (Similar to Pretty Woman).

Appreciate you taking the time to read through it.
