So I was sitting there watching a certain basketball team choke in the most important game it’s played in 15 years when I received a text. It was scrambled and coded in a strange text-language that I’ve never seen before. After reading through it a few times, I realized it was a text from The Outsider. I spent the next 3 hours translating it and this is what I got. I’m not sure if this is a review, a mini-review, a private message to me, a comment meant for the comments section. There were no instructions. Just this message. So I decided to share it with you.
Carson, get your head out of your ass. Compared to the carcass of ODYSSEUS, MEDIEVAL is a fucking masterpiece. Is it historically accurate? Fuck no! Is there really a poison that reacts to sunlight? I wouldn’t know if my firstborn’s life depended on it. This script is entertaining with a capital E. Okay, so it breaks a thousand of the so-called “rules” (I’m not so sure that this wasn’t written by Shane Black’s bastard sons), but rules are meant to be broken. It’s a great read. It kept me turning the page. Probably everything I like about it will be lost in the rewrites, but that’s another story.
The Outsider
So I guess The Outsider really does like scripts. As for why he/she fell in love with this one…I have no idea. It’s the last script I would’ve guessed that he/she would like.
