Hmm. Another tough one to decide who to vote for. The ideas behind both stories are pretty creative and I liked the premise equally to both of them, but both were pretty rough in the execution.
I liked the first half of A and followed it pretty good, but got lost at the end. I liked the first half of B, but I didn't like how the story was told through an amateur news broadcast.
I'm leaning more towards A because I think the writing is just a little bit cleaner and just a little bit more fluid.
But I think the main reason I'm going to choose A is because I really didn't like the amateur news broadcast in B and the more I'm thinking about it, I think it really tears the story down for me.
But both stories still started out with very interesting premises and this was a great logline.
Didn't particularly take to either story this time. Two very different approaches and a tough call as to who to vote for.
A. This was by far the more audacious of the two stories. Very intriguing setup with the lady meeting the reincarnated version of her husband. But, the story sort of fell apart for me here. I wanted to know more about the reincarnation process. This clone has been alive for eleven years and this is the first time that Julie is meeting him? What was the "disorder" that Laura was referring to? I got the feeling with the technology in this story that it should have been set further in the future. I mean, the clone was created in the year 2012, if my math is correct.
So, a good idea, but the execution was flawed and the details of the story were nebulous. And the ending felt very rushed.
B. A funny idea, a dude reincarnated as a parrot. But aside from this clever idea, the story just didn't offer much. Not a wise choice to tell the entire story by way of TV reports. We never got to see the wife confront her husband, the parrot. That could have been comedy gold right there.
The banter between the news anchors didn't work, IMO. And the ending just left me confused.
So, both scripts had clever concepts, but both ultimately didn't work because of the execution. Gotta pick one though, and I'm going for A because it was more visual and had glimmers of a real story.
How can it be that you can (or should) vote for yourself? We've had numerous close calls, and a vote here or a vote there, at an appropriate time can change the tide.
PATHETIC once again. Darren, you are so fucking WEAK!!!
I literally cannot believe this is acceptable. Damn, peeps...c'mon...rise up and speak your mind.
Jeff, if you can vote for your own entry, maybe you can vote twice. ?? I think it's fine and dandy to review your own OWC script, but not sure about voting for yourself in a two-day challenge, doesn't seem quite right to me.
EDIT: Hmm, just noticed Mc'C's remark that you can indeed vote for yourself... um, okay.
I've no idea if you can vote twice however, haven't tried...
I'm cool with it Jeff, and how do you know Darren didn't vote for me??? I'm not gonna vote. If it comes down to it, more then happy to let Cornie decide.
