Quoted from RJP
For the 2 people that liked my script "She": She, in my mind, was a doe. But I didn't want to come out and say it. It could be super-fantasy "Princess Mononoke" type shit if the director so chooses. More importantly, "She" is Mother Nature and the "Man" hiding in the tree stand (stumpzian was right) is mankind.

Holy shit. Yeah, I see, you definitely had a certain side-line around "sociology" in all of yours. And that's good man. So many writers run from those social relevant topics.

And more than that you got a pretty good delivery.

I personally just didn't get the formatting of the doe script. It felt as if I should make up the picture myself, and that was too vague for me as a movie presentation. Some of the meaning you explain here is already in there though.


Quoted from RJP

I probably don't belong in the final four...


Wrong. You so definitely belong into the next round and earn the spot.

Now I'm interested in your track record, what you've written before in round one and two...

Ditto on A Generous Donation and The Painter. Both are low-budget, too - nice!
It was interesting for me to see that all of my four excellents went to two writers - Warren and Stump.


@RJP - what are you saying there... - your entries have the edge and are pretty impressive. I'm not a sports person (in fact I'm as anti-sport as can be) and was pretty impressed with your Willie O'Ree.

Thanks!
In the script for the movie "Mother" the writer didn't give names for any of his characters. They were all named "Mother", "Father", "Son" etc. I was like :man, I want to borrow that. lol

I didn't have an opponent in round one...then in round 2 my opponent and I were neck-in-neck. Honestly, I won a coin flip there. Round 3 turns out I won another coin flip -- super close. And 3 other people were eliminated with higher scores than me...

I feel pretty guilty about it. Almost guilty enough to not put "semi-finalist" under contest placement when I upload the scripts to SCRIPT REVOLUTION...almost. he he he

Well that's some good news to wake up to.

Thanks to everyone that liked my three scripts. All of them were very well recieved by most readers. I noticed a few of them were people's favourites as well, so that's always nice to hear.

I know I played them down in the build up but I am very proud of all of them.

Now as for this round; not easy parameters at all. I know I'm going to struggle, but I will definitely put something up and hopefully I surprise myself again.

I'm very happy to be going up against Dave this round. He is a writer I really respect and like. My produced and unproductive scripts are filled with his advice and recommendations.

I really wouldn't feel bad losing to him and will be backing him for the win if I go out this round.

All the best to the other that made it through.

Quoted from MarkItZero
Warren, how dare you!? We are mortal enemies now. I will have my revenge in this life or the next!


Now that was a turn of events. Who knew we were up against each other?

Sorry not to see you in the next round. You had some great entries!

Quoted from eldave1


Warren I recommend that you write a script with 5 characters, 7 pages long and make sure all action takes place somewhere other than a car



Dave I've always valued your advice. I know you wouldn't lead me astray. I'll get right on it

I sure didn't, unless I missed the memo. Also, I don't fully understand the logic behind getting an average then pitting us against each other as well. You have four distinct winners based on average alone.

Anyways... It's above my pay grade, I'm just happy to advance.

So the pairs were only clear since literally now. Like you saw, oh I am against James and Im through...

That'd be somehow intransparent.

To my knowledge, yes. I didn't receive an email saying I was up against James. Unless I missed the email.

Doesn't matter, just thought it was an interesting choice.

Thanks for the information.

That's illogical to me too. If you at least would have known it before, it has a Kind of minimal charm to know who you are up against with and can play a certain tactic if you know the other writer, but this way it makes no sense.

'Feels' like a decision in hindsight. I know it's not, but I'd rather have the engaged audience here or at least the writers informed. That's why I said it feels intransparent.

If you look back to the original brackets you can see, reading from top to bottom. who is paired against whom, just like the NCAA Tournament...

What thread are you talking about? Still haven't seen it. Was it clear or is it a deduction you've made? I honestly can't remember seeing it.

Oh, the Round 1 bracket! Just looked at it and now I understand how Sean does the pairings.

Here's how I understand it:
The fact you were paired the third round is a twist. I'm sure no one knew about it. But looking at Round 1 pairings you can see how Sean does the pairings in the subsequent rounds and why you're going against Dave this round and not let's say against RJP.

What are you saying, bracket 1 does explain everything? Haha, you're funny. I think I need to get some sleep.
