Yeah, cos' that would be, like, really scary  

And thanks for the key to the bathroom, Z.

Quoted from that thing! I'll shake you when you're done...

Looks like she'll rip it off  

Quoted from Grandma Bear ...a Chicago lounge singer... What I want to know is, what do I get when something of mine is produced?

I'll let you hold my microphone for a bit.

Quoted from Grandma Bear What if I shake it?

Nothing in the short term, but if you keep at it you may get some "feedback".

Jeez, you didn't just say what I think you said, did you?

I hate to interupt us but...

Rob,

Just watched the short and I thought he did a nice job with it.  I liked that he or you moved the dialogue off the bench.  I seemed a tad long and he probably could cut some of it but that is a nit.  The only other major crit I have about it revolves around the acting and there isn't much you can do about that.

Well done.

Hey Michael,

I can't take any credit for moving the action away from the bench, that was the director's choice and imo it was a smart move. I agree with you about the lenght of it and when Abel asked for my opinion that was the one point I mentioned. It does run a bit on the long side.

Cheers
Rob

Hey Rob

Enjoyed this man, congrats. I haven't read the script yet - maybe should have done that first - but I'll give it a read in a bit.

My favourite shot was the moon coming out, sort of like you watching over them. He says 'kid' a fair bit though don't he?

Nice job

Ste

Hey Rob,

Just got finished watching this.  It was really good, and the things that were wrong with it had nothing to do with the writing aspect of it.

Like Mcornetto, I did have a problem with the acting, especially the actor who played Craig.  He played this more like an over-the-top comedy.  For some reason, to me he seemed like a tweaked out Seinfield.  I understand that there were funny bits in this and a lot of it is tonge-in-cheek, but he was just way too out there.

The Stranger I thought did a pretty decent job.  He made errors here and there that weren't too well hid in the editing, but I think he passed for the character.

As for the music, I did like the soft piano.  That was a nice touch.  I didn't like how it went to electronica, though.  To me, that music made it seem like a techno-Snatch or 'Lock, Stock'...  something that I feel that this piece wasn't.

The directing, however, I think was very good and he definately did your original script justice.  There were some really cool shots in there.

What I like best about this is the originality.  I know somebody earlier made a reference to 'Stranger than Fiction', but this for me works on a completely different level.  And, I think that this was actually good.  'Stranger than Fiction' wasn't good.

I imagine it must be awesome to finally see the words you put on paper come alive.  To be honest, after having that experience (writing something good and having it produced well), I'm really surprised you haven't been churning out more work than you have.  I figured that'd be a lit match under the ass for any writer.  But, imagining your response already... I know, I know...  Quality, not quantity.

And now for the typo's that I found in the credits...





:-)





See ya around, Rob.  And congratulations.

Cheers.
