Right then, that's my votes in. That was a blast. Cheers Libby and Don, been a good while for me in entering one of these beasts and it didn't disappoint.

We always get a good standard in the OWC's overall but there were a few scripts that really blew me away here. I mean there were even some that didn't meet the parameters but were exceptionally good, really impressed. Mine was a complete disaster but I'll explain when the reveal happens what went down as I'm pretty embarrassed for lowering the standard, but the joy of reading some of the work more than made up for the rightful pasting I'm getting.

Well done all, thanks for the brief coronavirus help group session and roll on the next one!

P.S. I usually leave music choices in my reviews but forgot this time. Lots of Massive Attack, Underworld and Leftfield seemed to go well with the futuristic madness. If anyone's looking for a new futuristic knob twiddling effort Storm's End is a banger - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0NbkCwyOIk

Cam, I love Massive Attack. Weren't even on my radar until my husband sent me Teardrop.

Alien is the absolute masterpiece of blending horror with ScFi, imho. You all should catch Memory: The Origins of Alien, on Netflix and Prime. Just ignore the hokey wtf opening scene. For its time it is amazing and the evolution of how it came to be is riveting stuff.

Very happy most of you seemed to enjoy my first outing at an OWC.

And, like I said earlier, stay tuned for some great stuff coming up on SS.

Nice. Gonna add that to my writing playlist. Good lookin' out, Dude.  

Since we're sharing futuristic writing music, here's one of my favorites.

Hey LC! Yeah, Mezzanine is a ridiculously good once in a generation type album, Teardrop/Angel/Intertia Creeps especially. Weird side fact, it appears that Robert Del Naja (who basically is Massive Attack) is also Banksy! Some people have all the luck in getting smacked on the head with the talent stick...

And cheers Zack! Gave it a blast, wasn’t aware of it before but it was catchy as mate, shall clear my musical schedule and do a deep dive over the upcoming admin session I’ve got lined up. Muchos gracias bud!

Banksy! Really? I did not know that.
Smartarse. Him, I mean.   If it's true...

Haha, smartarse indeed, with his mad shredders and crazy shizzle. Appears to be true! Someone figured out that whenever Massive Attack were on tour Banksy artworks were coincidently appearing around the cities they played in, then fellow triphop person Goldie was getting interviewed about Banksy and accidentally referred to him as “Rob”, so there seems to be something there. But someone else mentioned that it’s actually likely to be him and a few others from Bristol under the one name, so who knows...

Anyway, I’ve hijacked this thread with corona virus stuff and now Banksy...back to scripts...SCRIPTS!!! They were awesome

The next OWC will be Massive Banksy Attacks, and it must include at least one hijacking.

"Protection" the best MA album for me. Who can argue with Tracy Thorn and Tricky? Yanks just don't get good music.... or good films for that matter a lot of the time.

Though I was highly tight for time, I was able to push something across the finish line. I’ll try to explain what hell I was thinking when the reveal happens, because a number of people didn’t get it (and I can even say that without blowing my cover because it happened to more than one script).

Have not written up a lot of reviews, haven’t found time to read them all but have read more than I commented on. I write it up without checking comments, but when it comes time to post I see if I actually said anything not already mentioned. No point making a post of “and I agree with what’s already been said.”

Will try to get to more tonight and tomorrow.

In case you’re curious what was so time-consuming this past week, I moved my family out of NYC. Was changing jobs anyway, just moved up the move a few weeks before the city burns to the ground.

Quoted from Zack Votes are due in by the 12th, correct?

Yes, by midnight edt us&a.

Okay, someone other than me post on the 'Guess Who Wrote What' thread???
Or I might start to think Future Shock has it in for me.  

So far a big echo...

Nothing wrong with what you’re doing, Libby.

Tis the time of day/night that we’re in.

UK is dark, as in wee hours of the morn. Eastern seaboard is after midnight in America.

It’s about 10:30 PM in my neck of the woods (think I’m the only one around here on CST).

Chris, Rene, Jeff and Dave over at Pacific time, around 8:30PM. So, all good if there’s crickets, it’s literally… crickets, as in deep dark night.

It's usually this quiet (on SS) when I surf the net this time of night for me. Rarely do I see anyone post around this time, err... except for people on the west coast of Canada/America. Sometimes.

Oh, and SS just slowed to a crawl. Hope Don’s not suffering another DOS hit.

*edit* Nope... it's fast again, we're good.

Thanks for the time-zone rundown, Rick.

Get your votes in, stragglers. Not long to go now...

I got my votes in a couple of hours ago. I had to basically ignore the criteria though, half of the scripts didn't have horror at all or just paid lip service to it (mine included). Nearly all had sci-fi though, and nearly all tried to keep the budget in check, so it's a win to me.

Besides, we're allegedly competing against an A.I. written script. That's all the horror we need.
