I finished my screenplay, too - and here it is!
Edited on Sun Apr-09-06 04:33 PM by Rabrrrrrr
Setting - camera zooms from outside house into bathroom, then into the shower room - red tile walls, multiple shower heads. Camera, from vantage point of one shower head, aims back at door into shower room - enter Natalie Portman, naked. Her character name is, um, Jessica. Yeah, that's fine. Jessica. Jennifer. Sally. whatever.

Scene 1: Camera stays locked on her as she opens spigot and wets self down, then starts to scrub and bathe and bounce a lot. Approx. 45 minutes, then...

Scene 2: Enter Kirsten Dunst, playing, um, Hillary. Maybe Gretchen. Whatever. Who fucking cares? She joins Kelly. Wanda. Whoever the fuck natalie is playing, who cares, in the shower, and they shower and massage each other. 45 minutes, then...

Scene 3: Grace Park, Hillary Swank, and Angelina Jolie, playing Jessica, enter shower. Unless Natalie is playing Jessica, then they play Jennifer. Or Brenda. Or Aimee. Who the fuck cares, seriously? All five shower together, soaping, bouncing, massaging, steamy touching. 1682 minutes.

Fine.

4. I am the fucking GOD of screenplays!
You should read some of my other ones, involving Natalie Portman showering at the gym, Natalie POrtman showering at an outdoor camp shower, Natalie Portman taking a bath in Rome, and my most symbolic one, a real "Man's inhumanity to man" nihilistic noir film that gets to the whole hopelessness of life, why bother helping people, what does it mean to be an angst ridden teenager, and is revenge against your enemies really worth it if it costs you your soul? film, Natalie Portman showering in a Japanese bathhouse.

2. While the formatting is all wrong, the plot more than makes up for it.

3. Well, I'm really more of a story man than a "script details format" man.
I figure a script writer can format it for me; I just wanted to get the deep, symbolic, meaningful stuff down quickly before I forgot it.

12. Does it come with commentary?
Without a commentary track by the director, you, and the special effects guy, I ain't buying it.

17. This is why I should be in Hollywood, writing movies.
Edited on Mon Apr-10-06 11:42 AM by Rabrrrrrr
But will they buy my scripts? No, they won't.

bastards.

I would not only win Academy Awards, I would win the kinds of awards that are given out by various countries and organizations for "work for the benefit of humanity" and etc.

20. You're gonna need a "soaper" onset
to keep those bubbles nice and frothy. I am volunteering my services at a cost of- free. And I really think Jessica Alba is missing from this screenplay. But otherwise bravo.
