Those little stars don’t remain stationary for long. Up down, up down. Why won’t they just stay up haha.

I think this is anyone’s game at this point.

Reminds me of a local film critic where I grew up, Bill Wine. He used his own rating system, which I gathered was along the lines of:

4 stars: Excellent film.
3 stars: Entertaining film.
2 stars: Flawed or predictable film.
1 star: A wooden or just plain bad film.
0 stars: A film made specifically to irritate Bill Wine.

I thought it was just me. One day a script would be a 1.1 then the next day 3.3 then then two hours later 2.5. I stopped paying attention.

Just read them all. I will say this. I was a little disheartened I didn't make it to round 3 but when I saw the challenge this time around I got over it quickly. Writing a complete 1 page story is TOUGH! Kudos to the writers here for all the great ideas and execution. For the most part, all the scripts were fairly strong, I didn't give out a single 1 star review in the lot.

That said, my two clear favs were Mugged and Leave Em Hanging. Whoever wrote Mugged is gonna get a lot of points for going meta but it works AND the story is complete. It was really funny and I'm sure would fit the bill for any of the OWCs around here. Really great job.

Leave Em Hanging gets a lot of points for being a western from me. But it was an excellent mini story that actually works best within the 1 page limit. A 2nd page would have killed it by dragging on what would just be unnecessary, and for that it's my overall winner this round. Super strong entry. The title is perfect as well. Excellent job.

I've just read them all.

Didn't give a single 1 star review.

To me, lots of good efforts.  I enjoyed this round.

When it comes to the person withdrawing, I think that spot should have been given to the lucky loser or the next best contender.  I think that was khamanna?  I may be wrong.  Although time would be against you.  To keep it all equal for the next round.

Dan or TheUsual.

I don't think he withdrew right away, so they wouldn't have time to write anyway.
But who'd miss this round - I surely don't!)

Quoted from jayrex When it comes to the person withdrawing, I think that spot should have been given to the lucky loser or the next best contender.

I disagree with this. I believe part of the challenge is meeting the deadlines and being able to be in it for the long haul. If you can’t do that for whatever reason, personal or otherwise, it’s unfortunate but it’s just the game.

Whoever withdrew won his/her spot in round 3, the runner up didn’t. I think that sounds harsher than it’s meant to, but the people that are left are meant to be here. They met the requirements; they produced the required scripts and won their way through either by votes or by the other writer not getting a script up or disqualifying themselves like in Kham’s instance.

Really don't understand how the scores are bouncing around like they do. I seen scripts go from 4 and 1/2 to 2 in a Flash

Isn't it a simple case of someone gives it a 4, then another person gives it a 2? I'm crap at Maths but I do know I'm scoring high only on Shorts that I think would make a great film.

Reading something and appreciating and enjoying it is totally different imho to something that's going to be a film audience winner.

It's all subjective as we know too, unless it's a cracker of a script everyone loves.

It would make sense if there are only two or three votes, I'm just noticing significance swings on Scripts where there are 20 votes. Struck me as odd is all

I agree. I'm glad the smart guys in charge are able to split the hairs, atoms, quantum whatevers to determine who moves on.

And rebuild after an apocalyptic disaster.  
Oh yeah, me too!

I’m really looking forward to seeing who wrote which three scripts this round.

I love Cam's one word reviews.

Agreed, they are pretty damn funny.
