Mike, we are totally making this into a movie.  Best independent film since Juno.

You need to learn industry standard. This is hard for me to read because it's not formatted like a screenplay, but more like a stage play. It also jumps around a great deal. You haven't really developed good characters or continuity.

Dude, he just started.  Don't be so cynical.  Tongue

I think it's good so far.  You will have to fill in some areas so that it's long enough, but I'm totally loving this.

Cordell sounds like a mean, whorish Obama.

Oh...I'm sorry, Phil. Let me add in this paragraph:

Newspaper headline reads "PA SENATOR IN HOT WATER OVER BEASTIALITY".

That better for you? It is a story...and I am insulted that people would make fun of me for writing it.

Hey - I'm freaking pumped for this thing.  It's the first thing I check when I come on here (got my hopes up when I saw you had posted something new just now).  No matte what anybody else says, I like it.

SCENE OPENS IN WHITE HOUSE, PRESIDENT JACK IVERSON SITS WITH FEET KICKED UP, EATING POPCORN AND DRINKING A COKE WATCHING AN EPISODE OF "M*A*S*H". WIFE JEANNE SITS NEXT TO HIM.[/b]

They're still gonna have M*A*S*H reruns that far in the future.

Good so far.

The stupid pictures keep throwing me off, because I have images in my mind who the people look like.  Actually, Cordell is white in my mind - kinda looks like Chuck Hagel, but a little less maintained hair.

Slade looks just like your pictures.

Iverson looks kinda like Slade, but taller and a bit of a longer face.  Black hair.

Harris is kinda a cross between Howard Dean and Joe Biden.  A full face (not round though), with white hair.  Howard Dean's face with Biden or Dodd's hair.

Oh gosh, I want a cheeseburger now.

Also, you misspelled "health" as "heath" for health and human services.

Again, I like it, but I think you're forcing the historical references, like this:

Quote from: Reaganfan on November 27, 2008, 09:10:49 AM
NEWSREPORT OPEN
Cordell: That's true, Steve. I have to go out there with the stature of Reagan, the coolness of Obama, the folksiness of Bush, and I suppose I could do some of those Clintonesque hand gestures.
Knox: (chuckles) That's about it, Governor. Just be sure not to pull an Al Gore and sigh or sweat like Nixon and you should be alright.

Also, was this meant to be a mis-speak on Iverson's part, or was it a typo?

Isn't it mathematically impossible to have an election on November 9th?

Yes.  I was gonna say something, but I figured Naso pulled up a calendar for 20-whatever it is and looked.  But you're right.

I'm kidding.  I've read the whole thing so far and it's very interesting.  And you should definitely post the Iverson back-story.  I want to read it.

I've already begun writing it...and even have a third story about a hostage standoff in the Oval Office from an idea I had back in 2004, I will write that as well. All stories take place in the same universe.

Stephen Hawking would be disappointed.

I just realized that the whole time I've been reading this thread, John Cordell has been Lawrence Fishburne to me.



I've always pictured him as a white guy, even though I know he's black.  lol

See - in the end, everybody wins.  Iverson will stay President.  And Cordell realizes his personal flaws.  It's like the perfect world.
