Saturday Update

Posted on April 26, 2009 | by admin

Hello everyone. Lots to talk about for this upcoming week so what I’m going to do is get a little anal and make a list!

1) LOGLINE CONTEST – An idea I wanna throw out there is a monthly (or bi-monthly?) logline contest. Where you guys would send in your loglines and I would pick the top 5 and publish them at the end of the month. I know there are some industry people who read the site so who knows, maybe someone will spot your logline and request a read. I’m looking for ideas to help writers in general so let me know by e-mail or in the comments section if that’s something you’d be interested in. If not, give me other ideas!

2) INTERVIEW – This Wednesday will be Scriptshadow’s first interview. Not only will it be an interview, but it will be an interview with one of the writers from my Top 10 list. Should be exciting so tune in for that.

2.5) MEDIAFIRE SUCKS – Mediafire seems to be run by the same people who run Norton Utilities because it rarely ever works. I’m going to give them one more week (since all my files are already on there) and then I’ll look for another file-linking solution. In the meantime, keep trying. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 attempts to work.

3) I LOVE YOU – You guys have been so generous. In the past couple of weeks you’ve sent me over 75 scripts, many of them scripts that I asked for. You can probably do the math. Only 5 reviews a week. With those scripts alone it will take me 15 weeks to review them all. So just because I don’t review them right away doesn’t mean I’m not thankful. I wish I could read them all tomorrow. But these things take time.

4) ODYSSEUS – Don’t forget to check out the very first Saturday Scriptshadow review if you missed it. It’s from the new spec that sold to WB on Friday called “Odysseus”. A nice surprise for you and a nice surprise for me. Scroll down to read it.

5) SCRIPTS I’M LOOKING FOR – As always, keep checking the “Scripts I Need” list over to the right. If you have a script on there, please send it. I have a lot but I want more. MORE I SAY!

6) YOU’VE DEMANDED MORE HORROR – Many people have written in and demanded that I review more horror. Horror isn’t really my thing so I’ve recurited some outsiders to help in that department. These guys know their horror and I’m hoping they’ll be able to contribute regularly. Expect their reviews some time within the next week or two.

7) MEDIEVAL – Don’t forget to read Medieval and comment on Scott and I’s dual review this Friday. Early feedback tells me this is going to get ugly. In fact, not one person has said anything good about it, lol.

8) BLOG TO CHECK OUT – Last but not least, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention a blog that I check out regularly. It’s called Nick’s Pix, and it’s just a great blog about movies in general. Tons of great reviews. He always finds cool little things to check out. I highly recommend it so go there now! Nick’s blog —— but then, like, make sure you come back at some point. :)

    Hey man I just wanna say thanks. What you’re doing is incredible. There are a few guys out there on the internet who review scripts. But you’re the only one who does it the right way for the right reason.

    Your reviews aren’t about you, or how you’re the best reviewer on the web (not like that clown on Latino Review), and how powerful you are, it’s about helping other writers.

    I really respect that about you.

    Keep up the great work. I hope Hollywood never takes you down cuz what you’re doing not benefits them (the producer, studio, agencies) as much as it does us. I truly believe writers who come on here will become better writers. Better writers write better screenplays.

    Better screenplays make a) Whoever discovered them look good and b) They make for better movies.

    And isn’t that what this is all about??

    thanks for the plug, Carson! Keep up the awesome work, you’ve got one of my favorite sites going right now!

    They two posts above are saying all! Great work, keep up with the reviews! :)

    The MEDIEVAL discussion will be funny, I see it already. :–)

    Maybe you could create a list of scriptwriting books that you have read and can recommend to others. Not a book review, which takes time, but a list.

    Great site. Count me in for the logline contest.

    Another hand raised for a logline comp.

    the “medieval” discussion will be one hell of a funny/crazy/inspiring/insightful one i’m sure.

    and adding my voice to the chorus, keep up the amazing work.

    Robotard, you shameless bastard you. I’m actually considering reviewing your script. I just don’t know if people could handle it.

    Reviews of horror scripts coming. Good news for us horror scriptors. Man, you just keep raising the bar.

    I am so psyched for this if you do decide to do a logline contest. Blogs like this are going help a lot of struggling writers. I’ve always read movie reviews, (mainly Eberts), and studied them over and over to learn what to do and what not to do, something I think all directors and script writers should do, (well, that and I love film discussion), but this really helps us writers get to the root of the problem even more so. We got to look out for one another, especially for ones like me who are used to writing alone, which makes it a 100x harder when you’re getting no outside opinion. Anyway, I got my logline ready and a cool title I think you’ll like, so let’s do it.

    One my top areas in need of a booster shot is my logline prowess. Count me in on that one! I imagine my first 50 will blow but come #51, well, watch out America, that’s all I gotta’ say…

    Oh and in case no one has said it lately, you, Carson, are a God among screenbloggers!
