RIP!!! POP!!! BOING!!!

A typical love story, beautiful marriage ceremony, hot naked chicks with big breasts and a toothless baby shark sucking on a dick...



This is why I love pissers, they're usually more original than most scripts.

Alright, so... now that I've had time to catch up on a few more pressing matters...

Jeff, I'm not in the least bit surprised THAT you DID turn in a pisser (quality not withstanding), now I'm just interested in WHY you chose to go this route, writing and submitting a pisser?

I'm not at all being judgmental, I just have a casual interest in the decision making process of how someone goes from "I could do such-and-such" to "Hail, yeah! I think I will... pound, pound, pound... SEND-ola! Ahahahahahaha!"

Thank you, sincerely.

I will provide info ASAP, Ray.  Kind of swamped with work right now.

I am resubmitting this in a few as well, as it appears I upset some peeps by putting Pia's name onj teh doc properties, to throw would be haters off my musky scent.

Apologies to Pia and Don.

To answer Ray’s questions and provide some back story to just how Up from the Depths 2 came up from the depths, I give you this…

I wasn’t very thrilled when I saw the challenge parameters.  A short involving a shark attack is one thing, but 30 or 40 no/low budget shark attack scripts?  Really?  At first, I told myself I wasn’t even going to participate, but as the days rolled by, I decided I’d enter.

Not sure if any of you peeps are familiar with the 1979 Roger Corman classic, Up from the Depths, but I’ll tell you…if you ever get the chance, watch it…one of the best worst movies of all time.  Some friends and I had the pleasure of seeing this in the theater, and we’ve never forgotten it since.

So, I started thinking about a sequel to this gem, and my idea was to make a 10-12 minute teaser of a fake sequel to the grand daddy of all pisser movies, which would rehash the original story and even bring back some characters, who would now all be very old.  As I worked out the details, I realized few would relate to what I was attempting to do and scrapped it.

From there, I just started writing and slowly but surely, this took shape…and took the shape of a comedy, or as I like to call it, a big old fat juicy pisser.  I scaled back the pisser elements early on, as I was worried it wouldn’t be posted.  When Josh and Katie got in the water, I really wasn’t sure where this was going, and BINGO…RIP POP BOING…it came to me – a 1 foot long, toothless baby shark on Josh’s foot long member – comedy gold, I was sure.

As I continued, I have to admit, I couldn’t stop laughing and at times, I’d literally have to leave and walk away from it, because I kept reading it over and over and tears were falling from my eyes I was cracking up so hard.  So, I knew I needed to get Maccabee back into the picture and why not have him watching in a tree?  For some odd reason, I enjoy bringing new characters in near the end of my scripts, so Pazia showed up to bring this full circle, by telling of Maccabee’s own encounter with a baby shark.

The dialogue was originally much more robotic and lobotomized, but I tried to change it slightly so that it came off funny in a really dumb way, but not nearly as bad as “No Meat” dialogue.

In the end, I was very happy with the effort….and I still am, believe it or not.  I find it to be hilarious, but I realize my sense of humor is on a different world than most peeps’ is.

I didn’t intend on making a mockery of this OWC and hope peeps wouldn’t be pissed off about it.  If I did offend anyone, in any way, I apologize.  My intent all along was to entertain and hopefully, some got a few laughs and mental images they’ll remember, and smile about in the future.

Thanks to all who read and commented.  If you baled before the end, I implore you to finish the script and see if you don’t find the end just a little humorous.

I just wished I was in on the ruse. When you mentioned the doc properties, I remembered that you always do check those. (I don't think anyone else does). I checked the script and sure enough, my name was on it. The writer even used bold slugs! At that time, I had no clue who had written the script so naturally I turned into Angry Bear.

I only had time to read three. I picked those based on which scripts had the fewest reads.
