Read a dozen pages. Story isn't doing anything for me; nothing compelling or interesting going on.

cloroxmartini. Hi, may I suggest you at least flick through. One can't judge a script by reading a dozen pages. IE, Pages 15. JUDITH
Do you think I am beautiful,
Master?
SATAN
Well, for a reincarnation you do
look pleasing to the eye. Mr.
Iscariot.
Judith laughs in surprise at Satan's words.
JUDITH
What-- what do you mean, Master?


Page 64: REPORTER 1
Mr. President, is it true that an
arrest warrant has been issued
against Judith for disrupting
public services at yesterday's
display?
PRESIDENT HALL
No. In fact, I must say I agree
with Judith.
Dan looks confused in the b.g.
REPORTER 2
Does this mean you condone the
service disruption she caused?
PRESIDENT HALL
I condone free speech.
Discordance among the media. It takes a moment for calm to
return.
PRESIDENT HALL (CONT'D)
Raise your hands, which one of you
wasn't there at Judith's show
yesterday?
No one raises their hand.
PRESIDENT HALL (CONT'D)
You were there, I wasn't. So why
make it seem like it's my fault you
treated yourself to Judith and
didn't do your jobs? That's
immature.
REPORTER 3
Are you saying the people who
gathered there are immature?
PRESIDENT HALL
The second people decided to leave
God behind they started worshipping
a movie star. Until we stop letting
some imaginary deity be the
backbone of our constitution, yes,
we will all remain immature.
Dan now looks even more confused.
REPORTER 2
How do you suppose you can dictate
what people believe?
PRESIDENT HALL
Easy. We flush God out of our
system... Today I stand here to----
Have a good look. You may enjoy.

Cheers Ken.

Um well I'm back and I thought I'd take a quick look at this, and bad writing aside, how do we get round the concept that the devil is there to save the day against evil, um isn't he defeating his own cause?

There was a recent script here about the same subject. It started out with action, got my attention, but then lost me in short order.

This story starts with Jesus in the garden, saying and doing the (biblical) things, then father changes his mind, and Jesus is like wtf. Then satan's spawn interlopes and takes Jesus' place. So I am saying, well, I'll go with it so far. Hidden in the bushes is a dude Jesus said will be a witness. Okay.

Then, then, then we go to heaven and have a discussion between Satan and God, like they're drinking buddies. That's where it went south for me. Not sure there is anthing that could be done to salvage my thought process...emphasis on "my." I've seen this in many stories, witty banter between God and Satan. It's worn out (for me).

But, I kept going, and we get cliche Catholic priest ogling a boy. Enough already. Then Satan's spawn shows up and puts a number on the priest. Yeah, he deserved it, it was just. Enough already. I'm done.

So for the first dozen or more pages I don't have anything. What I expect to find is mayhem from Satan's spawn. For me that isn't entertainment and it's not new or interesting.

But the Devil doesn't try to save the day. I think you're mistaking "DIEVIL"  with the "DEVIL"
Whats wrong with the writing?

I can't see anything wrong with your writing... certainly not anything major. I am put off by the dialogue, but that could be because it's religious bollocks. I'm not down with that.

Hi, yeah I can live with that.  

The "Similar script" you referred to, this is an updated version.
I was asked to make the antagonist and protagonist, one and the same.  

Religious fantasy sure, Religious bollocks, I wouldn't go as far as that.

Thanks for the feed back.

Last comment was aimed at you. This version is an updated version to the one you mentioned.

You said there are many live this? Can you tell me one please?

You wrote the one about the 2 army guys opening up the cave with scrolls?

Tell you one that has been on the silver screen? Can't name one where God and Satan go at it and there is probably a reason for that. I have read several here.

Not at all, if you read the full script you will find its "Biblical/Mythology" mixed. the "Devil" or "Satan" is the father here, DIEVIL is the created son of "SATAN"   ;D ;D

You have to look beyond the dark humor, assuming your "bad writing" stab was not insulting the "Proofreaders" grammar. Merely insulting my plot or what was you insulting again?

This is not about the devil its about a created son of Satan whose name is "DIEVIL" its how to show the audience that good and love and over come evil and the bad can become good, i have revised it and was requested for the "Hard copy" to be sent after only 3 days of my query letter being emailed.

Sorry this sort of thing isn't to your taste. I do however appreciate all feedback, positive or negative.

Keep an eye out for my TV pilot "Dragon whips his tail"  can't say much about it as it is obviously "unfinished" HENCE no copyright.
Also half way through a script (Not sure if i should do it as a feature or TV pilot) titled "Niggas" also no copyright HENCE can't really talk about it.  
(No insults, its great being nice to fellow writers huh?)

Good luck and keep on writing.
