    Feedback on my first script

    Seemed to be one long, dreary conversation. Found nothing funny. Maybe its a cultural thing, but it seems little different to all those crappy American unfunny comedies like "Friends". Seems pretty talentless. Additionally, it is riddled with... - Missing commas. - Spelling errors like thru...

    5 minutes, one scene short movie - the life coach

    Nowhere near as good as your previous. The violence at the end is too "on the nose" - the simple twist works far better. Likewise, the drugs makes it sleasy and diminishes Alice whereas previously, she seems like the victim until the end by simply evading tax.

    critique Sci Fi Screenplay Critiques.

    I am unconvinced that "are at" is strictly bad English. As I remember, it is archaic outside ot the North of England. I also found it to be rather "Orphan Black".

    Thoughts on a feature length script

    I got to page 6 before I had to quit. TEDIOUS! One of the most boring things in the world is watching someone else play a video game and reading someone describing a board game is little better. As an opening, it is hard ot imagine it more geared and begging ot go in the readers trash bin. I...

    (Have borrowed a friends computer to read it!) - Why all the CUT TO transitions - Page 3 - who - not capitalised - I m not sure what I m digesting - sounds sort of stilted, a curious choice if you are trying not to make her sound alien. - Get used outside of dialogue - poor diction - TYRE IS...

    5 minutes, one scene short movie - the life coach

    Masterful! (Critique - Maybe "Ow My ass!" might sound a tad more natural) I really think this might pan out for you! (And this from the perons who is being slated and hammered in numerous threads for being too hard on writers!) :)

    critique anyone want to critique the first act of my scifi thriller?

    Dearest Diamondwind, you have my own screenplay. I expect to "get it in the neck" just as much as I gave it. The only response that I fewel would be unfair to my screenplay would be... no response... so you reading and comments would be most urgently delightfully received, not matter how vbald...

    how would you help a beginner scriptwriter?

    What's the best way to help an aspiring screenwriter? Answer: Give him a full $2 tip if he remembers to ask you "Would you like fries with that, sir?"

    feed back on opening scene

    - Description is supposed to be OBJECTIVE... There is NO WE. "We see" should be dumped as should "we hear". - Why waste space telling the reader that there are Vvoiceovers when he can see them. - It's ... not .. Good start, just needs a clean up.

    Regarding FantasySciFi, sadly this colonial kid seems to be somewhat of primadonna who tends to throw his toys around his crib everytime he can't get his way.

    I do disagree with FantasySciFi. I have endeavoured to challenge rrather than give you brand new ideas and ask for credfit. You will get NOWHERE as a writer if you simply use others ideas (even though most of what FantasySciFi said I had already thought of myself) You need to develop the...
