My first movie

Seriously, you were not trying to help him out, and everyone knows it. Sure it wasn't the best idea ever, but you didn't have to attack him about it, which is exactly what you did.

I'm going to have to agree with Posher here. Dude, his idea may have sucked in a lot of our eyes, but you don't need to completely discourage him. Everyone starts somewhere. Your first idea may suck, but you have to try to make it better. Build on it; that's the foundation of good writing. Trust me, I've went trhough the process hundreds of times. What I said may have been harsh, but it was meant to do nothing but help. I can't see anything productive that you've offered that wasn't a nasty rehash of what one of us said or was just a direct insult. If you're a writer (and I doubt you are from your condescending tone) then you need to be supportive. Tear down when you have to, but be supportive none-the-less. We'd do the same for you (at least I would.)

If you want some serious help, I still need more to go on. Ala my first post, I have to know what this script is made of. As I said before; my advice is limited to what you give me to work with. I'm not going to write it for you; you have to tip your hand and let me know what you have before I can critique you. PM me if you need,

Well, the real strong part of the story- the bizzareness of seeing an exact replica of yourself- was an episode of the Twighlight Zone.

hasn't everything today been done by the twilight zone?

Any story can be good if it's told the right way.

Posher778: Ehhh... Well, you asked. I don't think it sounds very good. A random clone... who attacks his other self... "what's my motivation?"


And you're not acting like an ass to him either? He DID ask and I'm telling him what I think. So knock it off.

anyone who is willing to make a movie and put it out there for people to see, review and whatnot i give credit to. it takes a lot of work and a really thick skin to take the insults that go along with it. just make your movie and put a good effort into it. some people will like it, some people will hate it but least you've done it.

Listen, I'm sorry about what I said. I gues with the right script it could work. Go ahead and film your movie.
