That sucked. You have wasted my time, and I curse you for that. After reading your script, I developed a formula to determine whether or not a script will be any good. By the way, you failed on all counts...
1) If the script makes multiple, lame, and/or blatant references to one or a series of movies (Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Kevin Smith Movies), it may not be very good.
AND/OR
2) If the script makes several references to itself (i.e. if characters mention that their lives would make a crappy movie, or characters point out that they are in a movie by winking at the camera), it may suck.
AND/OR
3) If there are more than 7 cameos to make up for the uninteresting plot, it may make your rectum bleed.
The unwritten #4 is if a movie makes all of these mistakes, yet was written by three or more people, it will more than likely suck.
THREE PEOPLE?! I always thought that the more writers there are, the more filters the script will go through to have a better plot, better spelling, and less "pointless conversation". Damn.
But who am I to criticize, all of the scripts that I've posted have been well liked...
