Spooky quiet here now, but there looks like there will be at least 7 or so people taking part in the Script Club.

...and of course looking forward to the next OWC...and bert's Tanis.

It will pick up again. Strange though.

Quoted from Sandra Elstree. 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.

The Matrix. God amongst movies.

Noh dean.

Now. Tis quiet. Too quiet. Maybe sometings gonna happen. And maybe not.

Hope you're alright Elstree. Theif/? Wat's dat den?

I finished Cabin In the Woods...  Definitely have some thoughts, but will wait for the proper thread to be unlocked.

Just hope I still remember it when it is. Off to ye olde pube for a pint.

Is quiet here. Could hear a mouse fart.

I think we're alone, now.

Thanks, Don.

I remember Lena Lovich doing this one.

I want one of those haircuts. Right now.

Where are my scissors?

I've noticed that it's been getting more quiet for a while now...

I think we've reached a bit of a watershed moment actually.

I think what's kind of happened (and I may be totally wrong here) is that the main core of the site...the regulars...have grown to a certain level, which I'd call Pre-Pro (basically the only thing separating them from professional level is their first Greenlight on a project).

In other words, there isn't that much to talk about. Something like the Breaking the Rules thread wouldn't happen now because we've all kind of reached a consensus on what we believe and wouldn't bother getting involved in an immense debate about it.

There was another thread on here a while ago about what your plans for the future were that turned into an interesting debate...on there I said we should perhaps look at ways to increase the productivity of the site for those that are looking to forge a career....I basically think that's where we are, we should look at ways of using the board for more professional ends. By that I don't mean that the board itself needs to change in any way...but we should find mutually beneficial ways of working together.

You're right Rick - you are totally wrong...

Kidding - I think it's the fact that the regulars aren't writing much any more. Phil and jwent have put up some new stuff, as have I (*cough*cough*), and Brian's got a new feature up now. But apart from that I don't see the shorts or the features for that matter coming in from the regulars with, well, regularity...

I think we all get bogged down in reading the latest short, or tearing into the first 10 pages of a feature from a non-regular to tell them just how many places they went wrong, instead of finding work, perhaps buried work, from the regulars...

I do see some OWCs getting bumped, so that's a good thing.

Michael Cornetto has been working on this for a long time now: BENEFICIAL WAYS OF WORKING TOGETHER.

Not long ago, he tried to arrange a new "Killer" game, but people are trying to juggle their lives. Their careers, their family, their school... You know.

Anyways, many of us are working hard in the background.

I'm really digging in my heels with Thief, but I can't lose Logan Heisberg; thus, I'm going to attempt to write two new intros. One with him O.S. and one with him only mentioned in conversation.

The characters are driving me wild because I feel like they're interfering.

Anyways, I'm back from a cadet exercise today and I'm going to take an actual day off from this insanity tomorrow. As the kids did their Bravo-bravo, I was doing, "How can I amp up this scene?" Study, write, read...  It's Saturday, right?

We're all here. Some of us are probably over thinking everything. Hell... lo?

I'm looking forward to the Scriptclub because that, I can manage right now. Developing another short, I cannot in my current head-space. I have too much to revisit. Too much new material that taunts me forward.

Come on guys, speak out!

I think Rick might actually be close to what's going on. People come here to learn, get to a certain level and then move on...  

I'm still here though. Does that mean I'm stuck?...  

I don't think people have moved on...I think they're busy with their own projects and those projects probably don't necessarily involve posting status on the Simply Scripts boards.

I think if you have a script club that will bring some life back.  There were lots of social events here for a number of months and there isn't right now.  I would gladly have hosted another event but I don't have the time atm - someone else has to do it while I get my schedule back under control.

Cheers,

Michael  

I still lurk about here and often comment.

Quoted from Grandma Bear I think Rick might actually be close to what's going on. People come here to learn, get to a certain level and then move on...   I'm still here though. Does that mean I'm stuck?...

You're not stuck. People that are here are here because they want to be here.

If we do something wonderful now or five years from now... yes, even ten or more years from now... I think we'll still be here and we'll find it very fulfilling. Family is family.  

Sandra

AAAAAAAHHHH!!!

It's not so quiet now, is it?

I think the only ones who actually leave the boards leave because they've given up on screenwriting.  Others just leave for a little bit and come back.  This happens regularly. Enjoy the calm before the storm.
