Hi all, and a new week with more links. We’re cutting down to 4 scripts a week (which should be a nice balance) as Roy especially is putting so much free time into his work.
I’ve tried to tell him to just do the whole review in 20 minutes like I do. LOL.

Don’t forget if you’d like us to take a look at your project please follow the directions at the Contact Us page.
Also look for new announcement or discussions over at our screenwriting forum.
Remember, when you click a script that’s on Rapid Share, all you need to do is click the button under the section “Save File to…your computer” (it’s the green button in the middle). There’s nothing to pay for or sign up for. Once you click that button it saves just like any other file.
you guys are doing Blood Simple? maybe check out A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop afterwards, it’s the asian remake. not as good, but still… cool to see.
Haven’t seen the remake, but I’ll have to check it out.
I’m always amazed by how great the movie is considering the budget and the time period.
I want to look at how much of the suspense and the tone is in the script versus how much was added afterwards by them– as directors.
Glad you guys are slowing down the pace a bit. Think you will find it works just as well if not better. At least until Roy learns to get done in 20 mintues!
Thanks Calvin. You were right about the pace when we spoke about it earlier.
