My time has been very unpredictable as of late -- I frequently find time that I expected to have free is ripped away this summer -- and it is starting to piss me off -- but that is neither here nor there I suppose.

I participate if I can, but no commitments from me at this time.

Do you really not know how to submit a script a by now?  The submit a script link is on the home page, and it is pretty intuitive.  Drop me a PM if you cannot figure it out.

The Home Page has been freezing-up my browser lately, btw.  Anybody else having that problem?

Sounds like Pia will be willing to head it up, and seeing as the script is not even posted, everybody should have some time to catch their breath.

I am certain a good synopsis would help drum up interest.  Post it here.  You have a logline yet?  If not, you better get cracking.

Just as a suggestion.  I think this script club might be more helpful to us as a group if we analyzed a produced script.  The unproduced scripts can always be read in their separate threads and comments can be given there interactively.

C'mon now Michael, you're the one who suggested I throw mine up here.  It took awhile for me to grow some balls and agree.

Lets' do mine and then we can discuss throwing up a produced script.

Cool?

Produced scripts are good to discuss too. In fact that's what they do at DD.

This place is more about reviewing and reading the scripts of peers, so I think member's unproduced scripts will work fine. I would not be opposed to discussing  produced ones every now and then though... maybe every fifth one?

I don't have a problem with it being horror. It's my favorite, pretty much...
Just read Mirrors last week and I really enjoyed it. Zipped through it like it was a really good short.

What browser are you using?

I just saw "Mirrors" and was far from impressed!  Unbelievable that they spend $35 Million on that thing.  It grossed like $11 Million opening weeknd.  They're not going to make up the budget.  Reviews and word of mouth are poor also.

I love Alexandre Aja, but this just wasn't good subject matter.  Didn't work on any level IMO.  There were some good scenes adn some well done stuff from Aja, but the story was so weak and completely unbelievable.  Characters were also weak.

I haven't had any problems at all as of late.  Everything working A OK here...

That's why I rather read movies than watch them...
The scripts are usually loads better than the movie.

Yeah, I hear ya.  Just think how many great scripts have been butchered when they're brought to the big screen.  Usually, I'd say it's due to budget, but with a $35 Million budget, that obviously wasn't the problem here.

You know that Mirrors is a remake of an Asian film form 2003 or so?  It has alot of similarities to "The Ring", another remade Asian horror flick.  Just didn't work for me at all.  Kiefer's character wasn't too good either.  There was some good gore though, but they probably mesed up in going with an "R" rating.  usually, I wouldn't ever say that, but with this, there really wasn't much that drove the "R" rating, and they definitely would have increased the BO with a kid friendly "PG13" rating.

Jeff,

Wasn't trying to throw any water in your fire.  Just thought I would throw the suggestion out there.  It's good that you are finally going to post your script and I don't have a problem with the script club doing their thing with it.  

BTW "Mirrors" was a great read and it is actually why I made the suggestion.

      

Right on brother...I was just giving ya a little shite.

I think discussing a produced script now and again would be a great thing to do. There is a lot I think we can all learn from discussing a produced script and trying to dissect what makes it so worthy of being produced. Literally pull it apart and try and understand exactly how it is built. There are a lot of peoples here who's thoughts and opinions would be worth listening too in this regard. A produced script has the added advantage that not only would we have read the script but many of us would have seen the finished movie.

I would suggest however that scripts are chosen that were actually spec scripts and preferably first timers, after all that is what the vast majority of us here hope to produce when we write our next/first feature.

I don't actually see what would be wrong of doing something along those lines alongside an SS unproduced script the script club. There are things I could certainly learn from both. Hence why I am keen to get involved with the next script from Jeff.

OK everyone, I've sent my script into Don for posting.  I think I did everything properly.

Title - "Fade to White"

Genre - Horror

Tag line - Danny and Carlie are in for a lot more than just skiing, the weekend after Christmas, in Durango, Colorado.  The white of the falling snow won’t be the only color they’ll see.

Hope we can get alot of feedback here.  I've posted tons of reviews for alot of writers in here, and I'm asuming they'll be ready to jump on mine.

Not sure if Pia or Bert will be heading up the Script Club III discussion, but let's get the back and forth going.

Enjoy!

We will be ready to chew you a new "eye socket" as soon as your script has a thread of its own. then someone, me, bert or someone will start a script thread III thread.

...There's no turning back!

This is definitely true. When that script goes up, let me know.
