You Can Count On Me
Please note:
* This is not the only time we will read and analyze an action script. Assuming we keep doing this series every week, I expect we will get to each genre at least 3–4 times per year.
* Next time around, we can revise and expand the list.
* Yes, I know some of these titles may seem to you to belong in another genre category. There will always be disagreements on this front because some stories are by nature organic and hard to pin down. The point is not about the genre, the point is about reading scripts.
So go to comments and vote. And if there’s another action script you think we should read, and it’s available for download at myPDFscipts, feel free to post it. Perhaps it will solicit enough support to get selected.
Tomorrow we will select the thriller script for the week of September 26-October 2.
UPDATE: The votes are in for Comedy script and the winner is Bridesmaids. We will read that the week of September 12–18. You can download that script here.
UPDATE #2: For the drama script, there’s a strong trend toward Good Will Hunting. The voting is still open for a few more hours, so now is the time to jump in with your suggestion.
