Okay, this is bordering on ridiculous now.

You post pages that are clearly ridden with errors and ask for thoughtful feedback (which many have given).

Now you are asking us to free up our hard-drive so we can download your film.

This in addition to asking us to essentially write your resume or give us links that enable us to help you write your entertainment resume.

How about either taking a chill pill and not inundate us with favors or offering help or whatever?

But seriously, asking us to download your film is too much.

What the hell are you talking about? I am offering a piece of work that I did to people who enjoy film. You dont have to download it. You dont have to click the link to the post, or any of my posts. Ignore them all if you want, i dont really care. If 50 megs is too much for your computer maybe you should get off the internet. You have no valid point what so ever. You act as though I am forcing you. Its called free will, pal. Its here if you wish to watch it. Its one post. You are the one being ridiculous. I am really at a loss for words right now.

Why is everyone so anti-socializing around here? I am starting discussions to get people to talk, hang out. Whats so wrong with that?

double, don't worry about it, you're being banged by a couple of notorious shit stirrers who evidently have nothing else to do with their lives. You're quite right, nobody has to download and view your film, you're not holding them at gunpoint, they can choose to watch it or not watch it, the end. Same goes for your script sample, you didn't offer prizes or fees, you invited volunteers to read and give feedback if they have time and if they chose to do so, they don't have grounds for complaint and you haven't disrespected anyone. That's not to say you shouldn't realize that your side of the bargain is to take time to provide readable and entertaining pages, not some whimsical and unchecked first pass off the top of your head that disappoints and pisses off readers. But you've figured this out, yes? I don't see anything wrong with your inviting feedback on your material and/or asking for advice with your resume. What's the purpose of this board if not to allow you and others like you to ask for help?

it has nothing to do with stirring double, don't listent to dp. dpat is a hack at the highest form. a soldier of garbage, his forge made of terrible dialogue and cliched storylines wrapped in a bounty of middle aged ineptness.

dpaterso is a far more giving person (as evidenced by his patience on DD and here) than anyone else on either board.

sadly, i'm a jaded, bitter hack who has a short fuse.
 

Vigorish9

to bad what he offers is a bucket of shitt and no toilet paper. i have no respect for a man who writes crap at such a staggering page count.

he's a vampire, ninja, fable telling joker who couldn't deliver a good piece of dialouge if mamet wrote it for him.

No kidding, I could have predicted both your replies almost word for word.

Hamboogul -- realizes he's let his inner demon get out of control for just a second, big whoops, and apologizes.

vig -- aggressively attacks anyone he feels threatened by. Searches for clever insults, can't think of any, gets angrier. Hulk smash!

Consider: if you both used your talent for good instead of evil, the message boards would be a better place. Duller, but better.

What is wrong with you people?

So what if this guy wants us to review his work, whether it be written or filmed? He is looking for comments and those of us who are willing to give some don't particularly need a select few jerks raining on the parade.

The purpose of this forum is clear. To help out anyone with a desire to become better writers and to discuss the craft and our work.

You have the power to ignore the posts you are not interested in (as I do).

I am tired of people insulting each other for no reason.

Stop it.
 

Hamboogul

Well, I can't speak for others but when I write for a long period, I get cranky, especially when I write depressing dramas.

And I also get a shorter fuse when I toss out three months of work because I realize that I am being false to the reader about my characters and thus must start from page one.

So that's my excuse. But I also think that DoubleIT expects a lot from this community and takes constructive criticism lightly.
 

Vigorish9

"vig -- aggressively attacks anyone he feels threatened by' dp

you are absolutely clueless. you couldn't threaten a toddler. why don't you let the truth liberate you. instead of giving advice, take it.

no one sees a problem here?

Hamboogul

Well, as I mentioned before... I was not being faithful to the characters and their journeys. Secondly and equally importantly, I knew I was capable of better. And I didnt' want to lower my standards.

So I threw the entire thing away and started over. But I do that often. No biggie. End product matters.
 

Vigorish9

i guess i've never called it being true to my characters. i'm a mad rewriter. so, i've done page 1 rewrites.

DoubleIT

Im not sure whos being serious anymore or not. But yes, I do now understand when to post a script. But this short i spent almost two months working on, i didnt throw it together in one night.

What foul stench offends my proboscis? Ah, yes, tis Vigorish9 and Hamboogul - they should've been blow jobs.

Dp, salute!

Uday,
I beg of you to please change your user name. I know you're joking, but I do find it somewhat offensive that you chose this persona and even make refrences to being him.

Besides, why pretend to be somebody else when you are obviously an interesting person on your own accord.

This forum is no place to use sensitive political issues.
 

Vigorish9

if you only new the can of worms you opened. uday is from a place beyond your comprehension joe. evil lurks within.

Cans of worms are meant to be opened if you plan of going fishing.

I'm going to jump in here and let the meanderings of this thread take on a new direction.

DoubleIT, I didn't download your film and I didn't see a link for the script.

If you are getting lots of negative feedback on the script and being told you've got errors, then perhaps you could benefit from my services?
I run an editing and feedback service.
www.lowcostscriptediting.com
(yeah guys I am STILL around.)
I do very detailed, often line by line, page by page analysis.
My fee is one of the lowest on the web because I am NOT a pro, just someone who has a knack for clearly identifying and explaining story problems.
You can e-mail me at [email protected] if you have any questions.
