I know I am new here but I would definitely like to participate in this. What are the rules and details of the challenges?

Sounds like fun and I have to agree, straight up horror... but no zombie chickens.

The one week challenge is a simple game to see if you can write a specific script in a week's time. It starts when the genre and theme are announced.  You write a script, no more than fifteen pages, and submit it within that week.

A lot of good scripts have been written through this.

Sandra!! What do you mean you won't be participating?  C'mon now!!!

No family friendly anything!  Straight up, pull no punches HORROR!!!!!

This could be the ONE!!!!!!


I absolutely recommend the OWC's, but I don't have the time right now. I've been reading George's book and I know that I can help him with it; so if he chooses to make changes I will have a supply of notes and recommendations.

The problems I've uncovered are not regarding the story itself. That I love. I won't go into detail here, but they are just that-- details. Forever details right?

Anyways, besides that I'm continuing on with Thief. It's drawn me into its world and I need to bring my skill up to the level I know it can be. For that, I need time and I can't be everywhere at once.

I'll be present and watching the OWC unfold.

I want to recommend a movie I watched the other night. Six Guns written by Geoff Meed.
It's something not done too often these days. Old time Western. It goes to show you what can be done on a budget.

Although I saw what was coming, it still kept me watching. The acting of Sage Mears could have been stronger, but I think she's young and will get better with time.

Oh, and RV, RE the Matrix. I absolutely love all of the Matrix movies. I can watch them over and over again. I often try and ask myself, what is it that makes me love a particular movie, and I have trouble answering that.

It's not the genre. I think it's the blend between what everyone brings in the development. The writers, the creative developers we don't see that work behind the scenes in costume etc... the director and most definitely the actors. I think that good actors can make dull films extraordinary and bad actors can make good films pretty dull.

Anyways, back to business.  

Sandra

Since there's no better place to ask... Why were mine, Jeff's, and Phil's comments deleted from "Fear County"??? I know the guilty mod is lurking....

I didn't think they were that bad.

There was nothing bad about our posts.  The author never even chimed in, did he?  I just don't understand why people submit scripts and then don't respond to feedback. It's bizarre, actually!

WEAK!!!!!!!!!

Down girl...it was nothing quite so dramatic.

While I do not particularly care for the image of myself "lurking about" -- no, James, the posts where not that bad -- though Jeff might have gotten a little worked up.

It was basically another "we see"-fest starting to brew, and given the author's response to the initial post from jackx on the thread:

http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-horror/m-1272151365/

...I simply didn't see the point.

That, and I read a bit beyond page one -- and deemed the charges unjustified after that opening scene.  Not the greatest, but it certainly does not suck, either.

As usual, blanket apologies for those who may take offense.  Sometimes it is hard to judge when merely trying to keep things tidy.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

Down girl...

yes sir...


So we have one person, Dressel, interested in a Script Club. I can do that if you tell me what kind of script you'd like to discuss. All I have to finish is a few shorts for MP and a feature, Young Love. After that I have no reading planned. Should be done by tomorrow or Saturday.

Looking forward to the OWC...would also like to do another 6WC as I do better under pressure.

I'd really like to discuss Joss Whedon's much talked about script Cabin in the Woods; an incredibly top-secret project that apparently will revolutionize horror.

I'd be up for that.  Love horror. Anyone else?  When would you like to start?

Yes Jeff, but it should probably be shared via e-mail rather than posted here.

Well, I don't want to step on anyone's toes.  Does someone usually handle the Script Club around here?
