Not that anyone hasn't read it cause it has so many clicks, over 600 I believe... I think and I'm using all my star status here on the boards, cause I know how everyone just loves me around here, ha!
Um... but seriously, ANDY's "GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE" screenplay. It's not just the best screenplay no one is posting reviews for, cause I know many have read it, it's the best screenplay I've ever read here, period. I'd like to make a note that I'm a big horror fan too, so maybe that'll show any doubters how good it really is.
I know many think me to be a bit ego driven and some don't like my blunt, honest approach to reading there screenplays and responding to what I've just read... but, if you'll take my words into consideration, you'd be doing yourself a huge favor in reading it.
Also, I read a short called THE MAN IN BLACK which was really good. I think folks should check that one out too.
I just signed up today and the first one I read was Batman: Saviour. That was a great freaking story. Very well thought out and definitely a work that is sweats and bleeds Batman.
Dispite the many posts on the BANANA CHAN thread, the few which aren't by me myself and I, are by the same few people for the most part. I beg anyone to PLEASE point out a flaw in the current draft, or to have a conversation -- even a debate -- about any of the issues that are dealt with, within the scripts. I hate that the only conversations I'm having about these topics are with fictional characters I've created. Sure, I've researched the topics to the ground, but I'd like the "average joe's" take on the issues for once.
For example, what are anyone's opinions about whether or not the BANANA CHAN series deals with the following issues responsibly or not: -Alcoholism -Love -Teen Pregnancy -Suicide -Religion -Family Values -Prejudice -Cults -Fraternal Gangs -Drug Use -et cetera
How about the characters? Did the scripts cause you to "google" any words so that you'd learn more information about some of the obscure, and not-so-obscure references to aspects of Japanese culture? About that, can you find an error in my portrayol of those aspects of Japanese culture?
Those are examples of the kinds of feedback I need, and haven't been finding anywhere.
I sent my "reviews" to you through pm because I don't think it's anyones business but yours to how I felt about your series. The thing is there are no visible flaws accept the fact that you sometimes have a tendancy to cut way to early and at times a lot which alienates the audience but writing wise it's almost flawless from what i've read.
Thanks Wesley. I appreciate that comment a lot, and it means a lot to me. Although the writing is near-flawless technically speaking, I want to debate the messages that the story sends about those various issues, and whether or not I made the right choices morally with regards to the content of the story. For example, if a kid sees the show, would they learn positive lessons, or negative lessons? Is everything in a good, or good enough, context? that's what I'm more interested in finding out than whether or not the technical aspects of the writing are flawless.
