Quoted from jwent6688 This is the worst script I've ever posted here. I wrote it over a cup of coffee. For one reason. Somthing easy to film.

Wow, that's your worst already? To be honest, I enjoyed your "worst" script. I couldn't have written anything over a cup of coffee.

Quoted from jwent6688 It's getting filmed this Wednesday. According to the producer.

Congrats on having it produced.

I must say, reading this while listening to The Dust Brothers get their Fight Club on worked out smashingly!

Dig the Facebook man fag countermeasure muchly!
Skanktastic anger bitch bastard bickering in the middle left me flat.
Fuck Facebook! Nice wrap up! Good show, chap!

Badbaz,

Thanks for reading. Glad you enjoyed it. PM me if I can return the favour

May have been two or three cups.

Quoted from Coding Herman Congrats on having it produced.

We shall see. More times then not these things fall through.

Electirc Dreamer,

Thanks for the read. Glad you liked it. Started out getting 50/50 reviews. Seems like it's leaning towards the better of late. The heated debate may have come across too fast. I agree. Glad you liked it... As always, PM me if you need a read.

The Status of Things has been filmed!!!!

First thing of mine to ever get made, aside from Cornetto working on The Environmentalist. William's a member of these boards. So, he'll probably read any critiques or suggestions you have. He's already gotten my two cents on it.

Congrats, James!  Nice work!!!

Big time double congrats James!

How does it feel to have something in the can and online?
I like the look and feel of this, but I struggled with the sound mix.
Perhaps some generic restaurant musak would be more appropriate.
I think that tacky piano stuff makes bitchy dates funnier. =p
This is a big step and next time you're in L.A., the first round's on me!

Regards,
E.D.

Nice work on getting this filmed. I really liked your script. I can't say the same about the finished product however. It might be alot to do with personal choice etc and the way a director executes a script, but I imagined this alot differently. Alot of the shots and close ups are clunky and I'm not convinced by the two actors, which is a pitty and the biggest problem with this piece IMHO. They haven't developed these characters and there's plenty to work with. My two cents.

Check it

Hey James -

Liked this one.  Cute, sharp - good punchline.

If you're so inclined to do a rewrite (not hard, it's a short script) I'd polish up the dialog, just a bit.  A few lines - to my ears - could've been slightly smoother:

p. 1 I really like you, Jim
p. 2 Uhp (huh?).  Look at me, everybody
p. 3 I think you're special.  And I want this to work...
p. 4 Why change things now?

Sorry.  That's just me being picky.  But definitely enjoyable, and an easy script to digest...

And....definite congrats on getting it filmed!!  (Just saw the above post...I don't read other reviews until after I've formed an opinion...)

Hey James.

Congrats my man on getting this produced.

I thought the observation/comment on the "now" technology and social networking was spot on.

But the secondary message I got from this little gem, is that this type of conversation between a guy and his girl, has been and will be around for time immemorial.

Good work, very entertaining and also evocative.

Very best regards.

Martin.

I think I gave about 10 people permission to shoot this. Here's another. This is actually a big production. I'm not gonna ask Don to re-host my short over and over, I just want you all to see how pretty my name looks! and its behind the director on intro....

You have to click the lower right hand box, if anyone can fish out the youtube link, please send it to me. They renamed it "The Facebook Date"...

Hey James,

Congrats, again.
They got a hold of a nice set for this production.
Though that's gotta be the most well lit restaurant, ever.
I couldn't retrieve a YouTube link, says it was private.
Then again, I'm no expert on the matter.

I was expecting a F*ck Facebook Bollywood musical number at the end.
They shoulda totally Slumdog Millionaire'd that up!

Another feather in your cap, good on you.
And yes, your name does look pretty in this one.

Regards,
E.D.

Thanks for trying. He said they didn't release it yet because its still in post production.

Ha ha. They actually did it in their native language too. I haven't seen that one though.

There's one more version of this in post. By a Britt. Watched the main actors film reels on IMDB and was REALLY impressed. She is smoking hot and hilarious. Plus, the director reversed the roles. Made her the man. That one I may ask Don to slap on the homepage. Thanks for watching E.D. And, yes, it was a more well lit resaurant then any Dennys I've been to. Adjust the aperture and dim the lights!

Hi James,

I remember reading this one a long time ago. I liked how their third date spiraled out of control, how the argument escalated.

Congratulations on achieving your goal by getting this produced...

AND on getting it produced by two different people.  

Cindy

Thanks Cindy!

I'm sure you'll see another one of these floating around soon. I get like one or two emaills about my usual scripts. This one I got 16. Just told them all to have at it. Just give me writing creds...
