Oh I'll definitely speak up, Will.   I posted a comment this morning regarding your script and it got deleted by what I can only assume was a mod.  So you can take that "cowardly" comment and put it where the sun don't shine.  

You've got some big kahonas writing a script like this.  But then again, the fact that you're still alive and breathing is proof-positive of God's grace.  He's slow to anger and slow to wrath.  I, myself, am living proof of that as well.   Now you might think you're being funny, but in actuality you're playing with dynamite.

Just be forewarned Jesus once said, "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak".  - Matthew 12:36

It's a serious statement.

Good luck.  

Sorry Will, but this one fell reallt flat for me.  It was just random one liners and scenes that popped into your head as you wrote.  There was no flow between scenes and, for the most part, the jokes weren't funny.

FWIW, I laughed out loud at, "For Christmas, I'd like a pony."


Phil

In that case Michael, I apologize and take back that statement about being cowardly. If there's one thing I hate in this world, it's an Anonymous Andy. I respect everyone's opinion, just so long as they voice it openly and not behind closed doors.

Regardless, glad you spoke up and shared. Although I very well could be alive because there is no God and there is no such thing as justice. But we won't travel down that path today. Neither you nor I will sway the other's opinion, so going into a pointless debate would be just that.

And thanks for the read Phil. Yeah it's not supposed to have any sort of cohesive nature whatsoever.

Thanks for the read you two. Sorry you didnt enjoy it more...especially Michael

Quoted from M.Alexander I posted a comment this morning regarding your script and it got deleted by what I can only assume was a mod.

Yep -- In the interests of full disclosure, that was me.

In fairness, the post was only two (very unflattering) words long.

I do not intend to delete your other post, Mike -- though I have received requests to do so -- as it seems Will is actually pleased by it.

My question is why would you even read this in the first place?

With all the material on these boards, why would you actually seek out things that you know are only going to piss you off?

Maybe that is wording it a bit too strongly, but you know what I mean.

It makes no sense.

Thanks Bert, I appreciate you keeping us in the know. If I were in your position, I would have done the same.

If the mods will allow it, I'd love to hear what those two words were. Michael and I had a brief private conversation. Very pleasant and docile over all. But I love what Christians have to say about this (and I'm not being facetious). Because ten years ago, I was in the exact same place Michael was standing. Call it nostalgia if you will.

I read Michael's message with the happiest of grins. It means that I'm on the right track and encourages me to write more. Can't really explain why, but I promise you it's not out of an ill intentions. I think I like giving people a sense of purpose and fulfillment, a chance to stand up for what they believe in.

@Bert - In answer to your question, I held my peace for weeks regarding this script.  Couldn't hold back any longer.  I've said all I have to say about it so I won't engage in any more discussion with Will over it as history has proved situations like this only end up being a farce and causing nothing but unnecessary drama.

@ Will - The two words I posted earlier regarding this script were "utter garbage".   And for the records that statement stills stands, IMO.  But to each his own.

Thanks for being respectful Michael. I ensure you, no unnecessary drama will ensue. Hate pointless squabbles so it's best to avoid them if possible. I hope you read episode 2!

Back at ya, Will.

As for reading episode 2, I'll probably take Bert's advice and just avoid it like the plague.  But I did find a useful purpose for this episode.  I printed it and used it to line my cat's litter box.  Mister Whiskers loves it.    

Will,

I found this amusing, but not up to par with Christmas Shoes Blues. I still chuckle when I think about that one. You jump around too fast here. The only thing that made me laugh out loud, and it did, was Yoda's line.

I admire the fact that you are not afraid to make light of religion, but you still have to have a good story. Too many characters for a twelve pager and you're endangering yourself of becoming a one-trick pony. Is obvious you have issues with Christianity. Your writing is good, but lets be honest... Nobody is going to film this.

Eitherway, I will still tune in for the next episode.

Cheers, James

@Mike-  haha it's okay, I line my cat's litter boxes with pages from the Bible. He's a big fan of Paul's letters to the church. I assume it's because Paul was full of bull s hit.

@Phil- now I have a mess to clean up on my computer screen. It's not as dirty as it sounds. Was drinking a glass of orange juice when I came across your post.

@James- thanks for reading! Sorry you didn't like it as much as Christmas Shoes Blues. But I appreciate the call back! And really glad you liked that one. In fact, I might incorporate that sketch into BBS. And it's okay if no one films this. Because I want to film this.

Thanks guys!

Sure thing, Will.   Famous last words.  

All right, but seriously, tempting as it is, I think we're both adult enough to avoid this back and forth B.S.

Best of luck to ya.

Haha seriously, I don't mind going back and forth. But for the sake of the boards, it's probably best that we drop it. Don't want to get banned with you (haha)

Best of luck to you as well friend. Would be happy to return the read.

All,

Stay on topic.

Don

Your tag was pretty exact when you said robot chicken and the bible...
Fairly funny stuff, though if you went much longer i think it would lose any of the audience that wasn't stoned.

P2 solider should be soldier.

The king James version was translated for.....King James, not in biblical times.  The bit still works, but if making fun of it, should still be historically accurate.

I've always heard snitches get stitches, might flow a bit better than "end up in ditches"

I agree that the bit about columbine is just dirty.  You could make the same joke without involving an actual situation with actual murdered children.  Bad taste isn't groundbreaking or controversial, it's just bad taste.

Other than that, pretty funny.  But if you are doing feature length, definitely need some longer bits to retain interest for non goldfish.

Well you asked for it. So here it is. Another installment of BBS. Thanks for posting Don!
