The Drug Games: Catching Fire by 0 - Short, Comedy - When bum "Beverages B" is chosen as tribute for the annual Drug Games, only his whiskey-shooting coat can help him deal with the volunteering Cocaine Kid and other deadly hipsters. 6 pages - pdf, format
Couldn't find any humor in it. Actually I was turned off at the introduction of Beverages B but tried to slog further through it then i got to the introduction of the very stereotypical drug abusers at the games and completely lost interest.
I actually kind of liked this. In an absurd, stupid way it was sort of funny. The degree of seriousness given to the whole proceedings with the announcer actually giving lines like "Stay strong and may god give you the right drugs"... I dunno... maybe I'm high right now.
A non so subtle take off of Hunger Games ( I was loathe to say rip off). This was too busy for me, hard to read, hard to get the visuals in my head, obviously one of the many scripts that needed more pages to effectively work.
Couple of humorous parts but not really my kind of thing.
It was only a matter of time when I would come across a script involving drug and/or stoner jokes. Look, I try to look past it, really I do. But most of the time, stoner comedies are not my jam. Neither are jokes about LSD. Cocaine etc.
But y'know what? Some people would find stoner jokes funny, so alright. I'll give you that. But we still got a wee bit of a problem.
I am sure they could be funny, but, with all the drug problems of today, I just couldn't read on.
This reminds me of a movie that people thought was gonna be huge, then the day it came out, Jeffrey Dahmer gets arrested and no one wanted to deal with this movie.
I wish I could recall the title. In it, the tagline was something like where does evil dwell, in the flesh? And it's about this guy who's in a terrible car accident who gets new arms and hands. They begin to do odd things of their own accord.
Story unwinds as he learns that his hands came from a serial killer that had just been executed. Each person given a part of this killer ends up dead by some crazy way. In the end, the guy was still somehow alive and someone was trying to rebuild the serial killer. It was odd.
I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good. I enjoy writing the same. Looking to team with anyone!
The title had me intrigued. The logline was a bit of a mouthful.
I see all the negative comments above me and I get why, but I think this would make a great fanfiction story. It’s an inventive spoof of Hunger Games. As a script it was a bit too descriptive for me and it didn’t seem to fit the parameters of a superhero, as I understand it anyway. I did find the image of a bum on a Segway funny and you managed to squeeze a lot into 6 pages but that’s because it did read quite like a short story and in that aspect I did enjoy it.

I quite like beverages on his Segway. Interesting image. I didn't really buy into the booze from his arms but as a character getting booze and brining it to a community of bums, I think it has something. Kind of reminds me of a Coen film.
More of a pleasant read than funny, but I do like that character you have brought to life, except his name. Just call him beverages, drop the B.IMO
