This is "almost" a pisser. I#ll have to read the next 10 before I can submit a comment.

Ahhhhh, man. That logline got me all excited - could've been a very funny and smart first 10 if the delivery wasn't so conceited.

Terrible. Which is a shame, because that log-line is golden. -- Curt

Probably my favourite log-line I have actually read on this site. This could have been brilliant

Well, um, didn't know whether you were really trying until - (dramatic pause). This is a complete pisser.

This is a promising idea, if the writer can shoot me a PM, I might want to finish writing the script for the 7WC - only if I have time though. I think in the middle of all the bullshit happening on screen, there are some golden nuggets here.
I hate to admit it but I did laugh a few times. I can't really say this is a pisser. After I finished it, my reaction was more like, the hell did I just read? It just seems like you stuffed your thoughts into the script rather than try and make it funny. But like I said, there are still some funny bits in there. The Rob Schneider thing, the Black Swan lesbian reference with the deliveryman (which is a hard one to catch). Even the Batman Scene.
But my favourite one is definitely the Penis Valley, Pencilvagina line. You legit won't believe how long I laughed at that. It was subtle but a little digging found that you actually meant Penn Valley, Pennsylvania. For some odd reason, I could not stop laughing at that.
Looking back into the prophecy OWC, this definitely isn't the same James Fine as before.
There were some subtle jokes stuffed in there, I'm not sure what to this of it. It's a piss poor effort, even for a pisser it didn't feel like it was as funny as it could've been. Again, PM me, man/woman!

Okay, so I sat down to read one of these before going to bed. I didn't recognize the writer's name, but the OWCs are open for everyone.
I was intrigued by the logline, but after opening the script, I got very disappointed. To be honest, I think I'm already done reading these first 10 submissions and I will wait for the full feature submissions.

Quoted from crookedowl
Two thumbs up!!
Hahahaha. I think it's hilarious.
You gotta love a script that starts with "The water shoots down from the nozzle faster than semen shooting out of a pornstar."
I found myself with a huge grin on my face pretty much the whole time after that.
I doubt we'll see this make the 6WC, though. If the writer can come up with another 80-90 pages of this shit, I'll be very surprised.
I mean, I know these first 10 pages are garbage... but it makes me laugh. I wanna see more.

Sorry, I couldn't get through this. Too tedious. You shouldn't really be offended though, it is what it is.

Utter crap. A clever pisser can only be written by someone who knows their stuff. This is written by a blockhead.

Script does to M.Knight what he did to Aang, Katara and Zuko in the tragic "Last Airbender..." He had it coming. A karmic Agni Kai, as it were.
