How long ago was that?


Last month. Made for Loss Fest.

[Zim]

I kind of like that guy they shot. Was he in that other movie where two women killed him? In the last fest?

[vnguyen972]

I really like the story that you wrote but I didn't like the look of the film... so what happened? he didn't get it finished in time?

That's him.

That was "Enchanting Twist of Peccadilloes", by ZaZaCast.

Finished yes, but over the 6 min limit.

Alex, how could you?

[Rodney V. Smith]

Phil Donahue... such great potential wasted on a bad director. I'm GLAD the director lacked the ability to cut it down to meet the time limit, but now he's sharing it. So many things WRONG with that film...

[alex whitmer]

Alex, how could you?

I wanted to put everything else into perspective.

I need a drink.

Your banner quote is strangely apt today... but I can't blame you. Good actors and a good director could have shaped that so well... added characterization and actual skill...

shi*, once again I can't figure out how to do multiple 'quote' boxes.

First point - yes, Phil is a great actor, and this is a shame.

Second point - I decided to share this because I cannot convince the crew there is anything wrong with it.



It gets worse.

You can't do WHAT?????? It's an AWFUL movie! And they think it's so great? WTF? There is nothing redeemable in there: the girl is horrible in voiceover, poor PHIL is always yelling, the actors are WAITING for their lines instead of reacting and they're indicating left right and center.

Um... how much worse can it get?

[alex whitmer]

Um... how much worse can it get?


I'll answer that with a question. Is this team ready to take on a feature?

Norm? Did you die after watching that?

[ZazaCast]

....and Alex...I was trying to be nice when you had me watch it.

What's that smell? Did somebody vomit in here? :)

[Rodney V. Smith]

I could TRY to be nice one day.... sorry about the vomit Zaza. Don't step ther-- oops, too late.

Clean-up isle 5....clean-up isle 5....

[Awake-In-Anamorphic]

I knew it! Anyone can write screenplays! Best of the fest!

Best line of dialogue: "I saw a dead squirrel in the woods today. I thought he was sleeping, because he looked so peaceful."

[MrKilloran]

What's... going on... here?

That was certainly something.
