EXT. DEADWORLD - NECROPOLIS TOWER - DAY
Tracking a dark figure from behind. It walks down dark corridors. The sound of the wind is heard. Menacing music increasing in the background.
Figure enters:
INT. CHAMBER - DAY
Dark room with candles for light. Skulls litter the floor. Figure goes up to a desk. On the desk is a globe. Hands reach out and hold it.
Onto globe. The globe shows Mega City One, as if it were some crystal ball. Closer onto city, onto citizens.
An eerie voice is heard:
"A world so rich in life. Yet all shall know of Death."
Zoom up onto figure. Figure turns and face is shown, half in shadow, half in the light. It is Judge Death.
Fade out.
Coming soon to the 2000AD fan input page:
scojo proudly presents his Judge Dredd screenplay
POSSESSION.
Pray you are without sin mortals....

Logan,
Care to give me some examples to back up your argument that I can't write?
Or is this the 'sweeping comment no specifics' syndrome all over again?

I thought I did, professional writers have told you that your dialogue needs working on and as always you just argue that you are right and they are wrong. I remember Jim Campbell giving you advice in the days before you gained the reputation that you have today, in fact it was probably that thread that made others realise what an arse you can be at times. I'm sure Milo has mentioned things to you on the same subject, and the fact that he writes "professionally" now maybe I'm simple and don't really understand things in the same way that you do.
You try to write and want to make money out of it.
Others write professionally and manage to pay a mortgage, raise a family and fuel their many addictions.
So you want to be a writer, so why can't you take the advice of people who do it for a living? It seems simple to me, and so in reply to your question; is this the 'sweeping comment no specifics' syndrome all over again? Nope, didn't realise I was making sweeping comments when I just said that professional writers had said that your amateur writing wasn't particularly good.

If Milo is the professional and attacks my writing because I use "There's no harm looking" then thank god I'm an amateur.
I'd rather take advice from a corpse than him.
As for Jim and his "there's rather than there is" train of thought, man I left at the last stop!
scojo on the right lines

It doesn't matter if your script is the best thing ever if no one likes it. Films are ENTERTAINMENT and it should be your goal to write something that people want to see. The negative feedback you've received - whether right or wrong - shows that people don't like it. I know you can't please everyone all the time yadda yadda yadda but try to get SOME fans at least.

I know it's hard when someone criticises something that you've poured your heard and soul into, Scojo, but don't these last comments simply prove Logan's point entirely?
