Crossroads? Crossroads is dead my friend. You can call me, OKC Market Center -

This is one of the strangest discussions I have ever read at okctalk. Good discussion and entertaining, but strange.

We aim to please.

No sex scenes in any of my movies. I believe films can be made without need for nudity or sex.

300,000? That sounds like a sequel to 300. I can see it now.

Southsider: "THIS IS SOUTHSIDE!"

You know, I’m really not buying the whole screenwriter bit either. I went to high school with two people that are now successful screen writers. Both have actually won Emmys. And both have English degrees from top Universities (Yale and Northwestern) and neither is going constantly butcher the English language the way that you do.

What exactly is it that you have written?

I was just hired to play the one of the mall security zombies for 300,000 rise of southside. im security zombie #4, they will set to film in about 3 days, once they figure out where to put the secret large okc marketplace sign thats is blocking the hidden tunnel. OH Expect a sequel if quail springs mall declines, called . Stuck up zombies, revenge of the northsiders, the only place safe to hide from the zombies in the sequels is old paris flea market

Give me an example, please. Take one of my posts and show me where I wasn't writing correctly.

I guess everyone on Twitter butchers the english language, as well... The internet isn't serious business. I'm not here to please anyone with correct writing, but I would like to see what I did wrong, just for fun.

Oh and if you think people can't get paid to write a messy script, look at this.

Yeah. Tell your friends who won emmy's, that they're trying too hard when they don't need to. Stories sell screenplays.

Here is what the agent told me via email -

"This screenplay features an interesting premise and some epic action sequences that could look incredible on screen. You have clearly put considerable thought into your world, and it feel thoroughly rich and fascinating. You also have a clear ear for action, and have written some clever action scenes and battles. The screenplay also features an interesting and diverse cast of characters and feels mythic and epic."

Notice he misspelt "feel?" He should have put an "s" there. Imagine that...

Here's another -

"The screenplay is very well written."

I don't know. Despite the agent misspelling a word, and having a lack of proper punctuation, I would believe him the professional over some random Joe on the internet. You have friends out there winning Emmy's, not you.

I would like to see you quote one of my posts, and show me where I was butchering the language and how.

EDIT: Hey Thunder? Where was that sign located? I went by there and didn't see it. We're you just joking?

You'll see it around.

LoL, and what is the blue palm tree about? Is the Market Center going to have a tropical theme?

[zcamaro70]

The OKC market center is dead just like Crossroads. Just let the mall die already. The website does not seem to work and I found this http://investing.businessweek.com/re...7CACQUIREMEDIA

I would buy that if I didn't see movie after movie and TV show after TV show butchering the English language every day. Take a look at most scripts, they are not works of literary genius. Someone with an English degree is probably over qualified.

Here are the first two scenes from Jaws. Great movie but basic dialogue

BEACH
Cassidy: What's your name again?
Chrissie Watkins: Chrissie!
Cassidy: Where are we going?
Chrissie: Swimming!
Cassidy: Slow up, slow down! I'm not drunk! Slow down! Wait I'm coming! I'm
coming! I'm definitely
coming! Wait, slow up! I can swim -- just can't walk or dress myself.
Chrissie: Come on in the water!
Cassidy: Take it easy. Take it easy.
Chrissie: Oh! God help me! God! Argh! God help!
Cassidy: I'm coming... I'm coming.
Chrissie: It hurts! It hurts! Oh my god! God help me! God please help!

BRODY'S HOUSE
Martin Brody: How come the sun didn't use to shine in here.
Ellen Brody: We bought the house in the fall, this is summer.
Ellen: Somebody feed the dogs, huh?
Martin: Right.
Ellen: See the kids?
Martin: They must be in the backyard.
Ellen: In Amity, you say: yahd.
Martin: There in the yahd, not too fah from the cah. How's that?
Ellen: Like your from New York.
Michael Brody: Mom I got cut, I got bit by a vampire.
Martin: You guys were playing on those swings. Weren't -[Phone rings] Stay
off them, I haven't fixed them yet!
Ellen: I think you're gonna live.
Martin: Hello, yeah ---- what the hell do they usually do, wash up or float
or what? Ah nah, nah, nah keep him there. Keep him there, I'll be out in
about fifteen... fifteen, twenty minutes. All right. Okay. Gotta go, missing
person. season hasn't started nobody's even here yet.
Ellen: Listen chief, be careful will ya?
Martin: In this town? --- Hey!
Ellen: David, lemme get on. I want my cup back!
Martin: You'll get it
Ellen: Okay. Wave good-bye. Bye!

Exactly... Swake has no idea that those who want to butcher scripts, can still get them sold, as long as they're good stories.

When an agent tells me, however, that my screenplay is "very well written," I am going to take his word for it. It can't be worse than Lethal Weapon 4's script, which suffers from endless one-word sentences.

The guy got paid 1 million plus to write that script.

The agent wants to me to have the protagonist hit if off with a female he grew up with. I was trying to break the tired cliche of the good guy always getting the girl. I guess, though, that they want everything to be the same as previous movies before it.

EDIT: To answer the person who asked what I have written before. I have written a -

- Horror/comedy
- Drama
- Action/adventure (the one the agent likes)
- comedy

I am in the process of writing another action film, and I have my own trilogy in the works.

EDIT: I would still love for someone to take one of my posts, that didn't look rushed, and show me where I had misspellings and inproper use of punctuation.

So where does a farce about Crossroads being revitalized come into play?

Nothing wrong with nudity. Lord know we need more male frontal nudity these days! :-O It's always the females...rarely a good shot of a dude. :-(

Jesseda, you can be a kid all you want on here, but when the time comes, you'll be standing around with a limp -censored- admitting defeat.

[Jesseda]

Whats funny is you called me a kid, when you are the one name calling... lol..
