Quoted from CameronD Dan, go back and cut out any "hangers". Words at the end of dialogue or actions blocks that take up an entire line by themselves. That should be an easy way to cut out half a page or more.

Ah, so 'widows' and 'orphans' are now being called 'hangers'.  

Would a clinger be better?

All I can say is my script "may" be trash, but it sure is fun to write!

I admit, I've been preoccupied with rescuing IMDb posts, the most vital/historical/important/special/informative/interesting ones. The board closed about two hours ago. Nobody had to balls to tell me that they were headquartered in the UK; it's already February 20 on the other side of the Atlantic. Way to troll an American.  

Now I'm freed up to finish the last two pages of my script. Pretty good so far.

Done deal is closing their forum too. What's up?

Quoted from Grandma Bear Done deal is closing their forum too. What's up?

Studios didn't like people telling the truth about their shitty films.

They prefer it so they can pay to have artificially high ratings for their films, and no one can tell the truth.

I have a few more questions:

1.  Can you submit more than one entry?
2.  Can you submit a different story other than the one you submitted after week 1 (say it either sucked so bad or was so awesome that you wanted a new idea.)
3.  What are the rules for a Cannibal genre?  I did some checking around and they all pretty much just list cannibal movies.

So, I get that cannibal means something eating its own species.  So, if a mouse eats another mouse, it's a cannibal.  But, are there any rules?  I mean, isn't every zombie flick a cannibal movie, at least in theory?  

So, am I wrong in assuming that a movie like Jaws isn't a cannibal movie because it's about a shark eating humans, not humans eating humans?  So, therefore, an alien eating humans isn't a cannibal movie, even if the whole movie is about how they love humans, like in that classic twilight zone episode "To Serve Man?"  

How much "cannibal" stuff needs to be in the story for it to be considered a cannibal movie?  Silence of the Lambs has tons of cannibal overtones and he bites the face off of that one dude and wears the face of another cop.  Is that "cannibal enough?"  

Likewise, can a movie about cannibals (but showing no actual feeding) be a cannibal movie?

So, in the "let's hear another terrible joke from Dan" - here goes:

These 2 cannibals caught and killed a clown.  As they are chowing him down, one cannibal looks to the other and asks:
"Hey, does this taste funny to you?"

Yep, I'll show myself out the door.

Oh, I did get the story down to 15 pages.  It hurt.  I cut 3 pages.  But, that's not too bad.  For the last OWC, I had to cut 12.  

I probably should have gone with the short story idea I wrote.  That entire story was like 10 pages, so the script should be around the same.  But, this story was one of my favs growing up.  I saw this creature in a D&D setting and fell in love with its awesomeness.  

As must of you know, horror is my fav genre and it wasn't if I had an idea, it's what idea would I narrow it down to.  I could have submitted 15 and still had ideas left over.  

Thanks

1. One script per member.
2. No, the the story must be the same. The goal is to improve what you initially wrote.
3. Pretty basic. Species eating it's own species. I wouldn't count zombies.

Will y'all hate me if I write one tonight?

Dena c'mon, nobody could hate you.  

Quoted from Pale Yellow Will y'all hate me if I write one tonight?

Not at all.

Not sure if it was asked already. Are we submitting anonymously? Or do we have to own up to what we write?

I probably should have asked this before I wrote it, but is it alright if I used an existing character/universe and created something?

Just submitted mine.
