Did anyone else notice how many duffle bags were included as a prop item?

I just might go back through my notes and see what were there the most of, duffle bags or priests!





FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatrical_property
A theatrical property, commonly referred to as a prop, is an object used on stage by actors to further the plot or story line of a theatrical production. Smaller props are referred to as "hand props". Larger props may also be set decoration, such as a chair or table. The difference between a set decoration and a prop is use. If the item is not touched by a performer for any reason it is simply a set decoration. If it is touched by the actor in accordance to script requirements or as deemed by the director, it is a prop.

The purpose of analyzing this sort of data is that there are largely two major factors in evaluating the marketing of a film.
The first is the film's premise: Is it interesting? Premise is what puts butts-in-seats AKA $$ in a theater owner + studio's hands. People can't tell if they like the film or not until they've already paid to go see it. Well... I've already got my money, who cares?
The second is the film's word of mouth/buzz/feedback: Did people like it or not? Usually positive/negative feedback equates to corresponding ticket sales beyond the opening weekend. This is why we care.

If there's positive feedback on a low premise interest film - who cares?
If there's negative feedback on a high premise interest film - everyone laughs all the way to the bank.

So, now you gotta determine if the feedback is good or bad to determine the VALUE of the comment QUANTIFICATION.
Are we writing titles and loglines that promote an interesting premise (views) - and - does the initial feedback garner ADDITIONAL interest (comments)?

Quoted from khamanna
One right guess:

Reef wrote Scriptrace!


I will neither confirm or deny, but....

....whichever script was mine, In the UK it would be called the Marmite script - you either like it or loathe it!!

Reefer did not write Skiptrace.

I am surprised no one other than Ryan outed himself on our little Cowboy Sam gag.

Even joking, I would never attempt to take credit for writing a single page of that script. First of all, I'm not clever enough. Second of all, anyone who's ever read anything of mine, knows there's none of my usual tropes in there.

Out of curiosity, how long does it usually take between Don asking for Votes and the results being released?

I think I would have had a better shot at this if second and third place votes counted. =P

Also, I hear I was the inspiration for Cowboy Sam, if that counts.


'Artist' is not a term you should use to refer to yourself. Let others, and your work, do it for you.

Usually about 19-41 days.

I think Room 107 had the best sex scene... or maybe that was just me fantasizing.

I've read them all now (I think) except for House which I couldn't finish. There are a couple that I read on my iPad and was going to write comments on ones I got to my laptop, but then I had forgot the script. Sorry. When the authors are revealed, I will go back and comment on those if the writers were contributing to this OWC or are members here.

Hope the reveal is soon and that Don tells us where he came up with this bizarre idea.
