Murphy,

What respect I had for you, is gone with this OWC.

Shawn.....><

My idea is serious. I require animals, otherwise, I have no script.

I don't think it's a joke. People are having fun with it because they never said it had to be horror (I don't think).

EDIT: Never mind. It is horror. Whatever, as long as I have animals, my idea still fits.

It is horror. That is crystal clear. Don has answered this one many times.  review the thread.

Horror can involve animals...rats, Sperm whales, even humming birds.  

Mr. Blonde,

Read the opening post by DON.

HORROR is the theme!

Suit yourself Shawn, but no idea what I have done wrong. I am actually being quite truthful. My script is complete and is a nasty piece of work, but is clearly a parody so am hoping I get away with it.

Sorry dude but not really sure what I have done.

I've been working all day on a script I just came to the conclusion is nothing but a giant pile of cr@p.     Screw this.  I'm throwing in the towel for the second time.

Best of luck to you all.

You guys said that after I edited my post. Besides, after all the shit we've been talking about, remembering that was low in my mind when I had my idea already ready, anyway. =)

Don't be daft, submit it anyway, honestly whatever it is like it is gonna be better than mine. Stupid to spend time on it and not finish it.

Truthfully, I can't see the importance of animals in this challenge. I can't see having them or not having them having any true effect on the nature of the challenge. The animal ban is perfectly understandable for the argument at hand but the problem is, I think it came too late for people. There are people in this challenge who have already written first drafts. It's like saying there's a rule you can't buy Boardwalk in Monopoly after you already put a hotel on it. Obviously it only affects certain people and not others and to tell you the truth, it feels somewhat unfair. This is coming from someone who doesn't have a single animal in his screenplay. I don't want to have an advantage over others with my idea for this challenge just because of the late rule.

And the more rules in place, the more people will throw in the towel: obviously. But I won't. I'm gonna stick this one out, being it is my first one, no matter what.

Good luck everyone.

I'll say this and it it will most likley piss some of you off.

The demeaner that you gentelmen have taken this thread to has completly trashed the spirit IMO of the OWC.

I hope that new posters who are reading this are not assuming that the regular posters here are nothing more than a group of locker room foul mouthed shit talkers who have no controll of their keyboards.

I am ashamed of several of you, who have came to this thread and have done little more than gutter talk it into something I would be ashamed to admit I was a part of.

Grow up!!!!!

Shawn, how about once the OWC scripts are posted and you realise that I was actually only posting a truthful concern, and not engaging in "gutter talk" you can come back and apologise to me.  Co's this post to be honest is a little OTT, there is nothing really posted here that could be classed as gutter talk as far as I can tell. And most certainly nothing by me.

I sense a huge broom coming into this topic and sweeping it out.

You guys...I just figured it out...

We can have rats, whales, whatever, as long as they are either male or female and between the ages of 18-80.  Just get rid of your human cast...or 1 or 2 of them.

I may have my big old whale in the wheelchair.  Sparky and Wings of a Prayer will remain...no matter what.

You guys are funny...seriously...really funny.

Screen, WTF?  It's Saturday night...24 hours and change past the announcement of the topic.  You can so easily change up your ideas, or just ditch what you were wanting to go with.  6 days to go.  A far as I'm concerned, the first 4 days are gravy, right?  Brainstorming days. Throw out everything you can come up with and pick and choose what will work best.

I guess Stevie must have gone to bed or work, as I know he would have responded to my twisted quote immediately.

Here's to big ideas and big dreams.  Wait...a...fucking...minute...that's it...it was all a dream on a dark and stormy night...

I'm back in now!!!!!  Fuck the whale!

I don't care. I'm writing mine exactly how I've been picturing it with all the animals I originally planned. If it gets DQ'd for that, I'll just re-post it in the Shorts section and add in all the stuff I have to edit to fit it into 10 pages. =)

I'm down to the climax.  I have to be really careful how I describe what happens in the next few pages.
