I think Greg's comments is going to be better than any scripts produced from this.

I believe Tomson is referring to the recent proliferation of threads that are little more than gibberish, such as this one turned out to be. I had no issues with Hitch putting forth his game to see who would participate, even though I had no interest in the topic. There was really no need to create a bash on his virility.

Perhaps we could bring it back on topic, since the whole thing got mean kind of quick. It might look funny, but reread it as if you were Hitch and it was aimed in your direction.

Oh c'mon Guy.  



My post was aimed at Guy, sort of.

If people wanna get in on this, I'm down, although nothing could possibly be funnier than the sex scene in last Sunday's episode of Big Love (Great show by the way).  I stand by my previous post that stated we do not have enough comedy contributors on the forum.

I have to post every day, otherwise I wouldn't be posting.

So how about I take this topic into the right direction, Alfred how about we move this to collaborative and write a script together (Everybody adds a scene) and see what it evolves into or if it gets so dirty Don has to post it and yell at me for bringing it up ha-ha

Think about it, that way everybody wins.

Don actually yells at you? That'd be wild to witness. The phone rings at the Cameron residence. Stephen gets up from his computer to answer it. A loud, grumpy voice can be heard next door. The neighbor sticks his head out the window. "What's that?" someone says. "That's Wesley getting reamed by Don!"

I apologize to the regular members on this board moving away from topic in your thread Alfred Hitchock (Daniel). It seems to me some people only come to these boards to up their post count with pointless drivel and mindless crap. And, I for one am making a formal complaint right now!

Don, I tell you now, I can’t take this any longer, this board is becoming a place of idle banter, mindless chit chat and piss takes and some asses need kicking! If only to gently remind what is acceptable and what is not!

I do not want to read stuff like this in this thread anymore or on SimplyScripts unless it is a specific thread which says you can talk mindless drivel!

Some of the younger members should grow up stop being lazy and write a script or two. Some of the older members tempted to follow these immature pillocks I suggest you also get down to writing reading and reviewing!

These kinds of deviations should not be tolerated at all! I would like to see the board moderators operate with a little more observation now and again and tell posters to keep on topic. This is why Don gave you this responsibility. George did his job about reminding people to stay in topic, and Tomson also mentioned this but in my opinion this goes on way too much on these boards and I'm actually getting pretty sick of it to be honest!

If it doesn't stop I'm going to pull my membership out of this board to the detriment not only of myself as a writer but to those I really value here. All because some mindless fools choose to chit chat about boring, trivial crap which should be dealt with elsewhere quite frankly!

Grow up and get on writing and stop being lazy bastards and stop posting crap just to increase your post count!

I for one don’t want threads containing mindless drivel when the original thread was a pertinent question about scripts and writing!

If you don’t have anything interesting or pertinent to say then don’t post anything at all! Keep the immature, snide comments and silly jokes to yourself unless you make a specific reference to something in an actual post which is reviewing a script or something. Posting one liners with silly “Haha” in them really is kind of childish!

Like I said, grow up and get on with your writing otherwise it’s no good winging you never get a review – don’t you ever wonder why the more experienced writers won’t review your work?  I could offer a reason and I bet it’s because they read your replies in other threads and they know you act silly and stupid and don’t demonstrate the willingness to work hard at your craft. The more experienced writers on this board write more because they spend more time actually writing and not posting mindless drivel!

Think about it, why should they read your work if you only produce one or two scripts and spend the rest of your free time posting stupid immature crap in these boards? If you want your scripts read then I suggest you make a start by stop posting crap and get on reading more scripts, writing reviews and then using your experience of this to help you write your own stuff so you grow as a writer.

If you want to be a screenwriter then start by acting like one.


Jeez!!!

Since when did someone's post count become the end all, be all, of human existence?

And that entire post should have been the beginning of a new thread somewhere else, since it really had nothing to do with the topic everyone is trying to get back to.

Let's call a spade a spade in that regard.

And yes, my first post in this thread was probably senseless drivel, but IT WAS MEANT TO BE, and I'm sure garnered a couple laughs in the process, but just because I posted it doesn't mean that I am not writing or re-writing, or doing the things that a "proper" writer should be doing because I write everyday.

Now, so this isn't a complete waste.....Are we going to run with this or are we picking a new topic or are we forgetting about it?

It's Hitch's thread. If he wants to pick a new topic, it's on him. He did indicate a willingness to go to something else due to the negative attention he got from it, so Hitch, it might be a good idea to restate what you want to do here.

*sigh* ok. here's what the point of this thread is: based on something i will write at the bottom of this post you will write the beginning of a short story. doesn't have to be script format. and then the next guy will continue that story and so on and so on. your contribution can be as long as you want it to be.

I think Don has a problem with those writing prose on these boards.  Someone once said he was going to submit some stories and he said 'no' to it.
