"Yet another one of yours I shall have to read Michael." -- The Cheerleader, Tyna Aberdeen.
"i can understand your ambition, and I also believe that someone decided you should have an extra penny in your creativity jar. I didn't read it all, but I like it, and I will finish it when me bum stops hurting from all that sitting! :-) I don't really like some of the female names, but they're still cute. I never really liked the idea that ending a name/word with 'a' makes it sounds more feminine. Ah, screw it. nvrmind! ALso, if you want this to be a real screenplay, tidy it up a little with some o' these puppies ( )for physical actions and entering on FC, C, or BC or possibly fading on closeups... oh, bother. Babbling again. All that's only if you are making it for theater or ABOUT to make it a show... ! :-( sorry for the waste of space,) but I like you, man, keep it all up and I'll read it!" -- Kimberly De liz.
"Hey, somebody likes me. *blushing* Thanks for the partial review Ms. De Liz (it is Ms. De Liz, right? Just asking. And kidding. Unless...). Yeah, I'm pretty good with names (at least I'd like to think I am). As for keeping it up, I'm already working on a sequel, and unless I feel the spontaniety that I did with this piece, it won't be submitted for a while. But I do have others in the pipeline. I'm currently working on my early magnum-opus; and I hope to release the first installment of that at least by Spring Break. Well, I hope you like the rest of it. And if you ever get a chance to read it Tyna, I hope you like it too. Heck, I hope everyone likes it." -- Michael.
"I guess I just couldn't help liking this, I'm a huge Star Wars fan. But this script is quite original as well. The reader is constantly drawn into adoring the characters more and more, even the villians. I have really been wanting to write another screenplay, and this one has compelled me to make it science fiction. Oh yeah, thanks for giving "The Black and the White Balloon" such a great review! Thanks." -- Magnus Duke McDowell (Eric Vana), Milwaukee, WI, USA.
"Whoa! To know that I've compelled you to want to write a sci-fi script makes my heart drop. Thanks, Magnus. Yeah, that adoration thing is something that I'd like to be present in all my scripts. I've only seen a few snippets of the first three Star Wars films (which should probably be considered a sin), and I hated Episode 1. Specifically, I wanted to feel more drawn to the characters. I'm more of a Deep Impact guy as opposed to an Armageddon guy, of which I absolutely loathed. Yeah, write another script, would ya? This section of the site needs more standout material." -- Michael .
"Cute. Amusing. I had a lot of fun reading it. And yea, if you write an outline first, you can write entire screenplay really fast. I know what I'm talking about, since I've graduated Dramaturgy (around here (Yugoslavia) it's playwriting, screenplaywriting, writing radio-plays, critics...you get the picture). Actually, with an outline it's possible to write a screenplay in three (yes, 3) days, only you feel REALLY tired after that. Keep working!" -- Ivana Milakovic.
"Thanks, Ivana. You know, you're right. After reading over this a couple of times I've found that it does possess quite a bit of humor, which is something that I never considered myself as: a comedian. I guess everyone has their own little way of making people laugh. Thanks for the review." -- Michael.
"Hello,Mr. Harris. I'm willie Travis jr, author of the odyssey of the Guardians.Thanks for reading, my script,im glad you found it entertaining. Although i must agree, it does start out, a bit like L.O.T.R., but after reworking the script, several times, i just liked this draft best. This was an idea, i got when, i was about 15. So it was in, my head for a while there.I started on the third installment, a while ago, but havent got around to finishing it yet.But not to worry!I'll get around to it,one day. I have read, the beginning of your work: Star Saga also. It seems pretty well thought out.I havent finished reading it yet though.After i read yours,i'll leave you a review.And as for the Oydssey of the Guardians 2... to my opinion, it's rather dull, compared to the first script. When ever i get around, to writing final installment,i'll try to make sure it's a lot better. For now i am busy writing a space adventure,which for now is titled, the: DOOMSDAY ORBS. WELL... anyhow, thanks for reading, and enjoying my work.You may find the Doormasters, entertaining also. Thanks for your review." -- willie travis jr, baton rouge, usa, louisiana.
"Hey, thanks man. I look forward to reading your review. I'll still read your Odyssey sequel, and then I'll branch out to some of your other scripts, as I can learn from you. Until next time then. " -- Michael Harris, Detroit, MI.
"You liked the sequel?! Thanks for the praise!! It's good there is someone out there, that reads my scripts, and enjoys them. Maybe all that time, from reading countless how to write, screenplay books, came in handy after all.I thought the sequel to the Oydssey of the guardians,sounded pretty dull.Thanks for the praise again. Oh yeah,i look forward to reading your sequel,to star saga. Thats some good stuff.Keep up the good work!It's good to see there's someone on this site, that puts serious thought,and time,into their intellectual properties. I don't mean to ramble on..but thanks again. W.T.Jr " -- willie travis jr, baton rouge, usa, louisiana.
"Thanks a mil for the review. And I'm glad you liked my story. I actually have the sequel up on the site now, I put it up in February. I'll read some of your other scripts next and I look forward to your Odyssey sequel." -- Michael Harris, Detroit, MI.
