Hope I gave it a good review.



Not bad actually - WAY better than the one you gave last OWC

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

I don't believe you. So far that is the only script I've opened this go around that I couldn't finish. Surely you are joking, right?

INT FRONT DOOR

Zack walks into the submarine, followed by a great white whale.  It opens it's huge mouth and eats the shark next to it and then eats some plankton and some sardines and the a big old giant squid eats all of everything that is sat on the ocean floor.

Noah watches form a POV and then a ape and wildebeest eats some fruit.

Voting's closed. I'm going to reveal because I'm clearly not in the running, and I did want to say a few things about my script before The Stowaway is crowned Writer's Choice

It's hard to not "defend" your script when people miss some things are are using it as criticism.

It's a bit hard to know whether they missed it because the writing wasn't clear or if they just didn't read it properly.

If it was an issue that was mentioned more than once, my bet would be on the writing not being clear.

I was referring to my own.

Also it was mainly the reader's fault...but since you hated mine you'd probably say differently...hahaha

I rarely take any advice given here. Reviewers will copy other reviewers. Some will do it because it's easier than reading the script properly. Others because they feel the reviewer is more knowledgable than they are and don't want to say the opposite. Some are swayed by previous reviews before they even read your script.

The OWC also has a game-playing element to it. Everyone vested in it (most of us) have entered a script and we all want ours to win. So, slating a decent script can help sway others into doing the same.

Take what you hear here with a pinch of salt, IMO.

I think that's a fair assessment.

I'll say this then, if I said I didn't understand it, it's because I didn't understand it. The reason wouldn't be because I didn't read the script or that I agreed with someone else comments. I very rarely don't finish a script in an OWC unless the subject matter is particularly vile, like a few from the last OWC.

So it comes down to the script not being clear to me, or as Jeff has pointed out several times, I'm not that smart, so I probably just didn't get it.
