That's when you know you have a good script. When people who've already read it, want to read it again.
Man I can't wait to see the short. How's it coming out? lol.

Hey Mark,
This was really good. Funny, sad, bittersweet. I guess cuz I'm married with kids I feel a particular attachment to this, but I don't think you need all that to realize or feel the charm here. It's sparse, with just the right amounts of action, no overwriting. And your dialogue is realistic and funny.
Not much else to say here. I liked this a whole lot.
See ya on the Wish Cow thread.
Steve

Hey Mark,
Not bad, this one. Honestly holds together quite well. A few typos here and there and some orphans you ought to clean up. Other than that, I didn't find any issues that were particularly outstanding or even worth mentioning. I guess I could see where it was going a mile away but this seems like something that's meant to deliver on its promise rather than surprise the reader so no worries.
Job well done, I'd say. Kudos. |

Thanks for the read and kind comments... I tried to keep it as low budget as possible while creating a heart felt story.

The title caught my eye. I read it then realised it's been filmed so my comments are even more moot than usual.
Suffice to say I quite enjoyed it. Not sure how it'll work out on screen. Good look with that ageing process...
It could be really good. Best of luck.

Mark, glad to see this is being filmed! I remember this from awhile back and it's always stuck with me. Will be interested how it turns out on the screen! Good luck with this!

Thanks for the read and glad you enjoyed it... I've seen the film and sadly to say the ageing process was not very good when they changed actors beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

GARY! hey buddy, where have you been? Have you wrote anything new? How about that DJ Script when you worked at the rock station? Good to hear from you I'll email the nearly finished film to you if you want Mark |

Mark! That would be great -- would love to see it!
Been working with a director on a feature film script the last six months -- met with him on Saturday and the script is going out for casting middle of March with filming in late July to Labor Day, so pretty excited about that - that's kept me out of sight for awhile.
But interestingly enough, I gave him a logline for that DJ film and some others, and that was one he expressed some interest in. I'll send you the synopsis to see what you think if you don't mind!

Mark, One gripe if I can even call it that. A difference of opinion. I'll get it out of the way now. The only times I'd have Jim or Wendy mention "eleven o seven" is the first time and the last time. The others, I'd just use the SUPER: 11.07, and instead of THIRTIES etc I'd have the day and date. Something like: SUPER: March 24th 1991 - 11.07 But like I said, that's just my opinion. Now that's out of the way. This is the kind of thing I'd love to be able to write. The sheer honesty in this. Nothing glamorous or fancy. Just, a clean, fun little story, and yes it is depressing but not to the point of emotional exhaustion. Just nature taking its course. Between the Ghostbusters pyjamas and this:
Quoted Text WENDY That was amazing, why did you stop?
JIM I found the remote.
Jim turns the TV on.
WENDY (laughing) You bastard.
Jim just smiles, satisfied.

Cracked me up something serious. I haven't read many shorts here YET but this is easily my favorite so far. |
