it's Under out_there_write_here @hotmail.com i sent it to your yahoo e mail. ill send another one
 
After benignly browsing through the indefatigably imbecilic "Pest's" "MySpace" I've come to a completely new perspective and profound belief about the fellow; he's even worse than I first anticipated.
Originally I had assumed he was a stupid, narcissistic lout, who, after realizing he really wasn't gifted at anything else, took up "writing" because it was something he could (supposedly) "do." Well, now I find out he's all that *plus* a little chauvinistic child-writer god(dess) of his, named "Palahniuk." Yes, that's right, Mr. "I AM GOOD WRITER OF FIGHTS CULB (AND I NEVR EVEN WENT 2 HIH SCHOOL LOLOL)!" himself appears an insurmountable number of times on Pesty's "favorite books" profile (along with other hilariously sophomoric, 15-year-old appealing authors).
This is even sadder than that time Kurt Cobain neglected to off his wife *before* himself (dyslexia truly does cause catastrophes). Hang on Alex, I think I'll take you up on that tissue offer after all.
Kid, you're never going to amount to anything, especially with those "influences."
Really want to be a great writer? I've got a sure-fire recommendation for you: Become a Buddhist, kill yourself (like no doubt your protagonists do), and get reincarnated as someone who can actually write (like, perhaps a dung beetle; some of their scrabblings on the sand do have a much more poetic edge than your "Pal.")

Good Luck!
 
awww c'mon man, we were all kids once. in my teenage years, i penned "The atheist manifesto," ridiculous amounts of "observation" pieces on why everything I didn't like sucked (superficial high school relationships, the police, celebrity society, etc) and basically just worked to channel my angst out of my body like some kind of snake poison.

we've all been there. i wouldn't be too discouraging, just let him find his way.

This is the most entertaining thread EVER! But seriously dude. Checking out his Myspace just to insult him? Please drop the pretentious pseudo-intellectual BS and talk like a normal human being please. People don't respect you because you use big words; they respect you when you have something constructive to say.
 
Again, all new writers think they have the best script ever, until they compare it to the scripts which won Oscars, until they send it off to script docs like www.bartgold.com, until these new writers understand that their story not only lacks external conflict, but that internal conflict, character arc, and that all important theme is vacant.

I so get what pest is saying because all new writers were there at one time or another. It's just a natural progression of learning and to beat him over the head is so unnecessary.
 
Okay so maybe it might not be the best script ever, but that thread title did get everyones attention. I can tell you one thing it beats the hell out of a lot of $#!+ out there. and by the way I heard tarantino was illiterate when he started writing most of his first scripts, not that I'm saying he's a genuise or anything, cause kill bill sucked! stefan again will you be my friend I'm lonley.
 
And what's wrong with Palahniuk, I suppose your gonna say kafka sucks too. I'm sorry they might not compare to your favorite author Dr. suess or anything but they're great. And so what if he didnt go to Highschool the man can write some great stories. You're just a playa hater! Stefan.
 
thank you charli. by the way, do you guys think it's neccasary for the first pages of a script to be really exciting, because I hate that. I like a slow start then it picks up.
 
Jade, "Local studio seeking young female actresses for short film in which they definitely will NOT be killed. Lack of identifying scars, dental records, or concerned family a plus. Payment to be discussed after shooting...uh...filming." - I love that -

not exciting, but compeliing. and there are any number of ways to achieve that.



ps - the story about terantino being illiterate is false. he couldn't spell worth a damn, but wasn't illiterate.
 
(Congratulations to all of you who took me word-for-word seriously. You deserve a Grammy.)

To be fair, internet sarcasm is probably the most difficult to detect.
 
how do you think Tarantino won the sundance screenwriting workshop? I wonder. And I didnt mean illiterate literally, I meant it as in the context like me, horrible spelling, bad punctuation overall gramaticly bad writer.
 
Don't worry stefan I'm sure no one is taking you seriously. This thread has really gone downhill - Pest I hope you get this script worked out, I'd help but I think it would be the blind leading the blind...
