It's a comedy... :huh:

[Richard J. Johnson]

that should be funny.

I wasn't sure if you were just making a statement or writing a script. But I'm hooked, I look forward to reading it.

[egyptianboxer104]

Jesus christ i thought you were serious! haha

Looking forward to it!

You thought I was serious about what? :huh:

Mike! Looking forward to it my friend. :)

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

I said it was a comedy, I didn't say that he wasn't a hack. :evil:

For the record, Spielberg is one of my top 5 Director's.

With a title like that you are bound to rake in a lot of views as well as some curiosity regarding the script. Excellent marketing. :beer:

As far as that goes I don't expect to place, much less win this thing.
I was just having a bit of fun with the script. I hope everyone enjoys it for what it is.

Threw in a poster for kicks! :)

aLong gone. Couldn't help myself, they're my weakness.

I guess I'll tweak it a bit and upload tonight. Just got back from a nice long weekend excursion.

Looking forward to reading everyone's scripts.

Good story. Nice twist. The dialogue could be tightened, and too Tarantinoesque for me, but that's me.

Thanks for reading!
Appreciate the comment. :beer:

Funny script. For comedic timing, I would have liked to see a little less dialog between the two guys, and some more alien time. He just appears. It'd be funny to have the three of them exchange looks back and forth in confusion without saying anything.

This would make a good skit to perform live.

[seansshack]

Fun read. Witty and well thought out. I would make it shorter thought. Feels a lot like the opening scene of Reservoir Dogs - lots of talking. (but hey love that film).

Could see the ending coming, but may be just me.

Might be funnier and tighter if running time was shorter by at least a page.

Good luck with it.

[RodThompson]

LOVEDED IT!

Yes...two EDs to show my extreme like. That's how I roll.

No real feedback to give. The argument seemed drunkenly reasonable, and the end was damned good.

Glad you liked it!

Really funny. Enjoyed the dialogue. No real criticism. Just a really fun read. I think you delivered on the title and the end was great.

[Judgement]

This is a real twilight zone script!
It was funny and very well told.
ANYONE who's seeking a script for the twilight fest should think about this one!
A very good script!

Führerbunker's not a comedy though. :D

[Captain Pierce]

I have to admit, I had no idea where the ending came from, but I laughed anyways. :D

I definitely saw the dialog as Clerks-esque, and I do mean that as a compliment. :)

Loved the "Han Shot First!" T-shirt. Where can I order one in in 2XL Tall?

Nicely done.

[agalla1]

Great job! It sounded exactly like familiar conversations involving "what if's" and drinking...great job on the dialogue! The ending was hilarious and didn't see it coming...overall one of my top two scripts of the fest!

[STYLZ]

Haha. Extremely entertaining. More like a skit. Skits are fun. Easy to make too. Great job. Let me know when this gets made. It has got to get made.

Script kept my interest and was funny. You nailed the banter between the two guys, one who is into sci-fi and one who is not. I liked the analogy of the fish. I thought the Nazi alien materializing out of nowhere was not as strong as the rest of the script. I don’t know what else you could do though to end it though. This script has a very light tone and a cynical sense of satiric humor towards Spielberg’s work and sci-fi geeks. There wasn’t a whole lot of plot, but the conversation between the two friends was fun to read. I don’t feel that a 6 page script necessarily needs an intricate plot all the time. As long as something interesting happens within those 6 pages that’s good enough for me.

Now you have to write the sequel: LUCAS HAS TOO MUCH F***ING MONEY aka THE PLOT TO KILL JAR JAR.

I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to read and comment.
I still have a few to comment on myself.

i thought it was great. the only thing i'd change is the alien's dialog at the end. i think it would be funnier without it. the visual of a nazi alien is funny enough.

good luck with this one!
