So what relation are you to the director ? Right or wrong, the guy came here to spam his film. If he ever bothered to stop in to introduce himself, post a around a bit before cramming half reviews down people's throats after attacking someone's opinion of his film, I'm sure you wouldn't have suddenly felt the need to register and come directly here to defend it. As usual, it's always ok to register, spam a film all over the place and leave, right ? Guess what ? Not to the members who are here day in and day out who have a seemingly endless parade of it.
For someone who's not "interested in a flame war", why come here saying someone's review was "all wrong", etc. IMHO it looks like that's exactly what he was doing, all the while keeping the name of the movie out there. There was no 'Lightning Bug' thread here until he made it. and drew all the negative attention to it.
As for writing my own screenplays, I do. My first feature starts rolling this winter and I'll be damn sure not to use half quotes to try marketing it, signing up on boards so I can spam it and leave as quickly as I came and I sure as hell won't go after reviewers on their sites to "correct" them since they "got it all wrong". Someone doesn't like my movie ? Fine. Thanks for at least taking the time to watch it. Maybe the next one will be more to their liking. Maybe not. I don't take it personally.
As for the 8 films I have listed on IMDB (which I've never mentioned on here by name once since that would still be spamming), there are plenty more not up there. You want to know who made the titles your friend is so quick to dismiss ? An 18 year old kid. I took the time out of my schedule to help him get started out, which is the same thing I'd do here for anyone who wanted help to make a film (he subsequently reused some of the music for his short in the other film). Maybe that's not important to your friend since he "has a career", so why bother coming here and act like a big shot to impress anybody ? If he ever read anything at all upon his arrival, he would've know he's not dealing with Variety magazine in the first place.
As for my score stuff, that's also just an opinion. I wouldn't start ranting about getting "it all wrong" since you didn't understand that I was actually trying to market it as something else. It is what it is and if you needed to see it in the film for it's full context to enjoy it, it probably wasn't worth it for you to listen in the first place.

PS If you're going to insist on calling other people "morons" and "idiots" in the future, you might want to use Spellcheck and do something along the lines of punctuation before posting your flames. It's like the pot calling the kettle black when you are unable to form one complete, legitimate sentence in plain English. :rolleyes:
