Two surprises for me: I thought Rob wrote 'One for The Road'! It had that feel about, based on his features.
I was wrong, so nice effort, Cam!
Also the Sisyphus? That read like something Sandra would dream up! But ajr did it! Ok, I didn't get into it but it was still well done!

I read nearly all of the scripts - but couldn't open any of screenrider's.

I read every script, but didn't leave any reviews because I wanted to make sure I read them all.

If I left a review for every single script I read, I probably would have only gotten through about half of them, and I wanted to make sure that each script got an equal shot.

Quoted from stevie Also the Sisyphus? That read like something Sandra would dream up! But ajr did it! Ok, I didn't get into it but it was still well done!

Yeah, someone actually went so far as to say in their review "I'm sure the author thought she was doing" something or other.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going handbag shopping...

Of those, personally I would discount:

Ass Spider
The Dark
Sisyphus.

Not because of the respective merits of the scripts, just because two were comedies and the third (sorry ajr!) didn't strike me as dark...

I've said before that Eyes in the Dark was the one that struck me as the most apt for adaptation, but it needs work.

I think the Killing Gene is another banker.

I'd like to see one of Pia's made. Issues is the more complete story. Obsessions the more visually interesting to make.

Obviously, I consider my own to be top notch and think it's a story that's really going to go places...

Sanitarium was a lot of fun.....

A lot depends on what kind of spread you are going for. Whether you want 6 very different stories, or just ones you like. ...

Umm, you do know that almost the entire script takes place in HELL, right?

Quoted from ajr Umm, you do know that almost the entire script takes place in HELL, right?

Yeah, but it just struck me as more epic and mythological than "dark". Just me, I don't make the rules...

Do you reckon they could pull it off on moviestorm anyway with the existing character models?

I haven't read all of the scripts, but from the list the two I would definitely include are One for the Road (damn Cam is good!) and Issues.

As for the other four? Well, I agree it depends what Michael is looking for, and of course it has to be something that could be reproduced in Moviestorm. Of course, I'd love to see my own 'It Gazes Back' included...hell, if I don't keep it in people's minds, who will?

I'm just kidding -

Seriously, as far as it being filmable. I'll leave that up to the moderators. I'll say again what I said in the thread leading up to the OWC - that although I may not have adhered to the props, I thought I had an idea that fit the contest pretty well, and I thank Don, Mike, Bert and George for squeezing a script out of me that I didn't know I had in me.

I liked yours a lot. Great atmosphere. I agree it would make a nce little film...

It's definitely an interesting approach and would add a different dimension to proceedings. Looks a stretch to me from what I've seen of Moviestorm though...maybe Michael fancies a challenge...  

Quoted from mcornetto Ok guys.  Almost time to announce the selectees.   Since there is a bit of paperwork to do on this before we come up with a final list and it's going to take a couple of days to get the paperwork done, I figured I would give you all something to ponder.   The short list. This is a list of scripts that were in the running and were voted on at least once by one of the panel of four judges (who were Bert, Mike Shelton, George Willson and myself).   A Night to Remember Ass Spider Eyes in the Dark Issues It Gazes Back Monster in the Dark Nefarious Obsessions One for the Road Sanitarium Shoot From the Hip Sisyphus The Dark The Environmentalist The Faceless The Killing Gene Three Strikes... Talk amongst yourselves.

After the reviews I was getting I kinda like threw in the towel.  I'm surprised to even get a mention.  I couldn't possible cast a vote as I need to read more scripts but good luck to the winner!

I must defend my little arachnid.  

I mentioned this in the script's thread and I'll mention it here; Ass Spider isn't a comedy nor is it intended to be a "joke script".  It's got a dark sci-fi theme which was lightened up by the exchanges between the two characters which came off as maybe a little more humorous than a dark script would need to be.

It's got problems, sure, but for this particular exercise I don't think it should be discounted because it happened to be a little humorous.  It was written with the Moviestorm target audience in mind, which Don mentioned on the first post consists of a good amount of gamers.  My thoughts were, hey, bugs coming out butts, gamers might dig it and it would be different.

But I'm appreciative either way that at least one person liked it enough to vote for it.  Among the list, I'd plug for Obsessions, the Killing Gene, and It Gazes Back.

Sorry Greg,

I've made the decision. It's gone...


Only joking.

I liked it, I said that on the thread. I actually think it's got some potential as a feature; I'd watch it, definitely. Be perfect for after a hard days work.

That being said, it's surely a little light-hearted for " The Dark"...but we'll see.

Develop it as a feature, not as a 30 pager. Because of the subject matter you could do it really cheap. Even crappy (pun intended) looking spiders wouldn't ruin it.

Quoted from greg But I'm appreciative either way that at least one person liked it enough to vote for it.

Yes...my burden to bear, I'm afraid -- using logic that was similar to your own -- if you can call it logic.

Cornetto has already told me that I never get to judge anything again.

Thanks, Greg.

Quoted from Scar Tissue Films That being said, it's surely a little light-hearted for " The Dark"...but we'll see.

I know, I know.  And for that particular subject, any humor can be construed as potty humor, which is like a double whammy on it  

Quoted from bert Thanks, Greg.

Sorry, Bert.  It made sense to me, too, which is probably why everyone now thinks I'm senseless ha-ha.
