How to write a screen play....
Allow me! You see, writing a movie script depends on the person writing it. If you like things organised and in it's place...almost all of the time, then you plan it, catalog it what ever (you know, put it on a time line). If you take things as they come then maybe you just sit down and write what comes to you.
What person are you?

That's really not much of a fight starting post.
I mean, jesus, I wasn't offended or anything! Let's get this thread back on task, Matt, say something mean about somebody.

I wasn't trying to be mean to anybody.
I was trying to be mean to Ladies Man.
Trust me. It's a thing.

hey! its late and im in a rush. i dont want to write out an essay formatted post. just a quick post. it is a good book. it gives you lots of different ways to develop character, story etc by showing lots of examples from different movies. chinatown being the most used
you always have a go at my spelling and every time i tell you im in a rush! i am. i got other things to look at and do instead of just sitting at the computer

ok, so if kevin Smith was willing to give you a quick lesson in writing screenplays you woudl not take it as you would not want to end up like him. just check out the book. the reason i muddle my letters up is because im used to typing fast and using the delete key but when i type here i just type without looking up. i will try to write clearer in the futuer...i mean future!

I personally beleive that perfection comes through practice, and while I'll admit that reading a book on the subject might help, I don;t think that it neccesarily works that way with artistic endeavors. In fact, the point we were arguing, was that being greeted with a set of rules might actually hinder the quality of your writing, or at least the hinder it's originality.
No hard feelings, none of these things were neccessarily personal attacks on yourself, but just the way people argue.

Well, see people.
Matt here (silver bullet, the) thinks he is ...ALL THAT! (He wrote one script for some canadian! BIG WOOP) I, think...yes I think! I think about myself in a very different way. I know I need to improve my skill and I do that by talking to others like mat who DOES have more experience the me and I thank him for the info. But he needs to stop thinking so...more better?! Yeah.
Something like that.
