Hi,
Recently I was told that my reviewing basically sucks. So this week,
this is my review. I'm taking a survey... Would you rather:
A: Have a true review
B: Have a certain 5-star generic review
Choose wisely and be sure of your choice so I can save myself the
needless time and tears over those who don't want to hear them.
I'll make a list.
And remember... LEARNING IS EARNING!

    A. I?m willing to take it on the chin if anything you?ve got is authentic and not just your nonspecific opinion.

    B. I think, of course, that my stuff is great. So you must defend your review.

    C. Typically, reviewers who say things you are saying (and there are a few) think their shit doesn?t stink and that I and others need your input. If you are a publishing editor I would, of course, want your guidance. If not, I?m sure I?ll survive not getting your input.

    Bill, I'm going to consider all that you have said. In doing so, I have decided that since I am NOT a publishing editor, you won't pay any attention to any advice I may have for you however brilliant it may be. You're one of those people who think "letters" are everything. Glad I'm not stuck in that box.

Wow -- so many folks getting rid of their spouses....kinda scary. LOL! :) A good write, here -- have to say, was certainly one that I 'did not see that coming'. :) :) Thanx for sharing! :) Yvette

Priceless! I do love that twisted ending! Interesting name choice for your named character. Foggy morning for foggy brain.

(an) old rug
reinforced co(n)crete

I like the use of alliteration with "food fight"; "fist fight"; "Rock'em Sock'em Sid"; "Pasta Palace"; "force fed"; "Cookie Nook" and "Rug-rolled."

Good artwork choice for this theme.

Hunh? Excuse me, but I am totally confused. Who is who, what is what? Tell me, Does your head hurt from thinking up this crazy tale? Do you even remember your own name? This story is so convoluted that I am not even sure of who I am anymore.

This is a very good script you have penned. This had to take a lot of time figuring out who was who and who did what? At the end it made perfect sense! Nice job. Blessings, Teri

I don't know what to say, Bill. This reminds me of the old Charlie Chan Movies. Ages ago! Maybe Colombo series. "And one more thing" it has quite a clever theme and it's quite entertaining. Well done. Nancy:)

Very cool twist at the end, I did not see that one coming at all. I also like the chain of events man 2 related to explain all the stains. Very nice job.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Hello Bill
Truly excellent.
It is witty, pacey and has a bizarre, twisted feel to it, making it stand out, interesting. A detective spoof that reads something like Waiting for Godot meets Twin Peaks.
Great character-creating dialogue, which reads effortlessly.
I think there is one small typo in the description of Sid's "...reinforced comcrete..." jaw - I think it may be 'concrete'.
I see that the site is trying to encourage scripts this year- you should stick with it. This is great stuff.
cheers
phill

    Thank you, Phil, for the exceptional review. This dialogue spilled out aimlessly until I saw a place to throw in the twist and close the scene. Thank you for pointing out the spelling error. Time to clean my glasses.

What does your wife feed you? This is the most convoluted story I have read of yours yet. I got so confused I forgot I was reading and ate some ice cream, thus leaving a mustache and, wait, the cops are at my door. Could you loan me that rug? Wonderfully funny - you are a genius at this stuff.

    Thank you, OP, for this terrific review. Tell whoever?s at the door that you?re not home. If they go away, it was Pons and Ned.

I think he's not recovered from the beating last night and he's looking at a mirror at the dump having this conversation. That's what I make of it. Entertaining one, Bill!

    Maybe that's what's going on. Your idea is probably "preferable" to mine.
