Sean, yours as well...good job. There were things I really liked about yours and others that I obviosly didn't, but it was a very solid effort and I wouldn't be sruprised if you take this baby home and get to drink water out olf the coveted mug.
You, as well. Besides the borderline Kimmie May dialogue, I really enjoyed yours. Maybe if I had come out and plainly stated that Petric was the Grim Reaper, I would have a shot at the proverbial mug but at this moment, I say yours is in a battle with ExtraTERRORestrial for the top prize.
And thanks for that feedback too Jeff. Honestly I sweating a little before I read your review on Johnny. But you were nice in your review and you gave me some useful advice. Things like "Sounds of people screaming" is the same as we see. I had no idea about that so thank you.
I liked yours Jeff, though I voted for Skiptrace(nice work, Blonde!)
Mine was Blood Ties - might as reveal as no one will guess it, lol. It got panned abit but I was happy with it, seeing as it became a deadline slog.
Thank you, Stevie, but you did say that it wasn't our best overall OWC. I agree, though, but I think everybody did their best with the time and stipulations we had.
And the important thing is that you like your script. I don't know if I'd say it was panned, though. There were some that were PANNED (and I'm not even talking House or Cowboy Sam)... =)
Stevie, bro, I was liking yours up front and then it feel..nosedived, and as I said, I wondered if it was a pisser. Please don't take offense, but for me, the dialogue was far from your best, and you usually nail good dialogue. It seemed to me like you were running on empty or against the hour and you just revealed everything through a character, that made it all seem so unreal. Thanks, bro. for your kind words as well - I kinda hung you out to dry with the Beatles song and I actually even put your name on the doc properties!
DV, yeah, for reals..your first ever script in this tough challenge? WOW..well done, bro. Very impressed...
And again, to each and all, sorry if my comments offended or hurt. They were not meant to. I speak from the heart and from my overly rotund gut and I do calls 'em as I sees 'em.
Glad to see some peeps owning up. As I said before, this was a ridiculous challenge. I think its why the likes of Ryan, Bert, and Kev stayed out. They're always contenders.
Zero power here in Ctown now. Transformers arcing in the distance which gives this night quite an ominous clos ure. Makes me want to write an end of the world script. Before 12-12-12. Or is it 11-11-11? Friggin Myans
I wrote A Dark and Stormy Weekend. I was really regretting entering day after submitting, so I was surprised when some of you liked it. So, thanks for the reviews. (And I know the winged creature at the end was a bad call...)
There were a lot of these I liked. One of God's Special Children, Procella, Lost in the Storm, Johnny...but I voted for ExtraTERRORestrial. It was a really tough choice, though.
Coops knew as soon as he read Sacred Acceptance that it was mine. As I said though - idea Wednesday morning, worked out I had 2 hours while my husband was at darts to write it, no rewrites and submitting while my husband walks through the door - no logline!!! face palm!!! He hates it when I'm on the computer - writting consumes me.
Thanks to all comments. I don't know where the whole icecream thing came from - just popped into my head and I ran with it.
Bflywings, I'm sorry...I didn't mean to be mean. Honestly, I didn't.
I actually had to go back and see what I wrote, because I had absolutely no clue what your script was...or what it was about. But, as I said, your 5th line or whatever it was about someone turning around and seeing a hurricane approaching or whatever it was, is just...well..it ain't good, sister. I've never been in a hurricane before but I'm fairly confident that you don't just turn and see one coming at you in the distance, and for me, that was your death knoll.
It obviously doesn't help with no logline. Sorry about my words, but I do hope you understand how a single horrible line early on can literally sink the ship.
Scriptrace is yours, Sean? --I loved it. And DV (sorry, don't know your name) - Johnny was very close for me. I actually think that Scriptrace and Johnny are somewhat alike in theme - someone turning delusional.
Stevie, bro, I was liking yours up front and then it feel..nosedived, and as I said, I wondered if it was a pisser.

Cheers bro. Actually, if I'm not doing comedy, I find dialogue tough. I thought I did ok on this one, as I was trying to show the Mexicans speaking politely, as they would do around each other.
Actually, I can handle any criticism after the Niners fisted the Cards today. LOL!
