In honor of the theme - I did my reviews in reverse chronological order.

First - I completed by scorecard

Second - I commented on the scripts.

Third - I read the scripts

I feel that was the true artistic way to do it.

You can try taking some from her, but last time I tried I almost lost a finger


I think I read Zack's script about that.

Except, in the script, it's your head. And, you did lose it.

Not sure how everyone else felt, but I felt like I liked the scripts in the 2nd round were much better. There wasn't one this round that truly stood out to me as great, unlike the last round where I gave more excellent scores than any challenge I've ever been involved in. That being said, there was some quality work here given how difficult the rules were for this round. There were 3 that I felt were above the rest this IMO, but we'll see. The comments seem to be a little all over the place for each entry.

Read and voted.

Well done to all, some really fun and interesting scripts in there - Some used the non-linear much more effectively than others though, a few it added to the story, others It felt a bit forced and the story would probably work better as linear.

My entry isn't doing too great, so could be a photo finish at the end

Two steps to writing a good screenplay:
1) Write a bad one
2) Fix it

I figured going into this round that comments were going to be all over the place. I told my wife that I have to accept that some people just flat weren't going to understand my script. And, I knew that there would be good scripts that I missed out on because I couldn't get my head around the concept. That pretty well played out. The only way to avoid that confusion is to go more overt. I didn't want to do that. I'm sure others made the same choice.

And, I agree. Round 2 was strong.

I've thrown it in reverse, too, Mathew. So, no worries from me, I don't think.

My entry this round was written more for me than anyone. It's something that I've had in mind for quite some time and I knew it would be a bit confusing for most because ________*

I also can't believe that no one has called me out on _______*

And for those reasons, I expect low scores.

*Stay tuned for the reveal.
