I thought they were going to have to assassinate JFK to save mankind!

As it was, I have no idea what they were doing on that grassy knoll or why. It had something to do with all life ending, but no sci-fi. horror - only the low budget angle ticked.

Sorry.

i guess there's a message here?

if anything, i like the visual of the last 2 people alive struggling like that. maybe i'm sick in the head, but you can feel their struggle at least.

not much to add. don't think this was successful, but i appreciate the quick read.


I'd list my "work" here, but I don't know how to hyperlink.  

"Career" Highlights
-2, count em, 2 credits on my IMDB page.  
-One time a fairly prominent producer e-mailed me back.  
-I have made more than $1000 with my writing!
-I've won 2 mugs... and a thong.  (polaroids of me in thong available for $10 through PM)

@vc_wg - because I crave attention

How...political. Doesn't meet the criteria in any way.

Shoot it. It'll get views. That's all I can say about it.

Not what I expected. I thought for sure this was going to be a time travel story back to Dallas in '63. Nope. Not buying into this one. Not with MY money, anyway.

Interesting story, I'll give you that. I have to admit that the Line "He pulled even with her head" kind of threw me until I realized what you meant.

Not sure where the horror and sci-fi factors in. Thanks for entering.

Rarely am I short for words on a review, but I sure am here.

No horror.  No Future Shock.  No clue.

Terrible dialogue. No characterization.  No story.  No clue.

Sorry, but this is very poor.

Got filmed by an Arts High School AV dept.  I don't know how to share it, but I think it's pretty cool.  They did a great job.

I probably should have responded at the time this was reviewed, but I was fairly depressed at the time, so I didn't feel up to it.  I'll do it now.  When the theme was posted, it  brought my most horrifying fear of the human race's future right to the top.  We as a species have made money so important, I truly believe that in the future, if the survival of the human race is threatened, and we even have the technology to save ourselves, the last two beings on the planet will die on the ground next to each other, still arguing over who is going to pay for it.

I know it missed the criteria, but it was something I needed to get out.  I for one, find it pretty horrifying, and I so badly hope that my assessment would be wrong.

Thank you, LC.  It was shared with me on Google Drive.  I had a difficult time figuring out how to see it myself.  I watched it on my phone.  I've never watched a video on my phone before.  Too bloody small.  If I can find a way, I'll share it.

You know, I never realized it at the time, but Jeff (Dreamscale) even took a moment to sign in as a guest so he could denigrate it.  Makes it being filmed that much sweeter.  Thanks Jeff.

Congratulations Steven, I hope you figure out a way to share it with us.

Thanks Matthew.  Jeff was my buddy.  We wrote back and forth all the time.  I just missed the fact that he was here, and didn't know he was removed.  A testament to my state of mind at the time.  His reviews were like chemo treatments, though -- sledgehammer therapy.

As I said, I hadn't realized he'd gone.  It is sad.  Do you know if he gave up on script writing, or did he just stop posting on the boards?

I didn't realise Jeff had left for good. He was a complete nutter, in a good way, and I'm sad such a character has gone.

But I'm so glad you got this filmed! It just goes to show that if you believe in something,  just go for it. I admire the fact you wrote something you needed to write. It shows a great depth of character to shrug off heavy criticism and to carry on regardless. Well done,  congratulations!
