Re: Freespace Series Pilot Teaser
I appreciate the honesty guys, and I thank you. I should have explained things in a different way.

English is my native language, funny enough. I have always been told that I am not good at it. I do take your comments on board and agree with everyone, I should put more thought into it, and develpp characters more, change dialogues etc.

I am sorry I snapped, I am passionate about his project, so I will not give up. Things will take time at the moment as I have a few problems. The next thing I do is back up any work I have done, I have lost 3 documents. But least I can start over with a fresh new approach.

Once again, thanks for the input and keep posting on my topics :)

Re: Freespace Series Pilot Teaser
Good to hear you did not take offense on any comments. Remember to spell-check and double check punctuation (periods and question marks, commas are at the right place, etc.)

Also, I suggest you read some screenplays of officially released movies, I can provide you a link to the Revenge of the Sith screenplay, which is a masterpiece, in my opinion. Take a look at how it looks, following it would make your writing look more professional for the first sight.

As I said, apart from the punctuation and spelling mistakes, I find nothing wrong in your work, or as a matter of fact, the dialogue. I could be because non-native English speakers like myself cannot imagine how different the dialogues might sound in speech.

To other members of HLP: Don't start arguing with me about Revenge of the Sith's quality here.

Re: Freespace Series Pilot Teaser
If I took everything to heart, then this project would not go very far.

Like I said, I appreciate the input and I value the help which I have received so far and would hope that everyone will continue to help me.

There's no arguement; it's a great comedy movie.

Quote
Anakin Skywalker: You are so... beautiful.
Padmé: It's only because I'm so in love.
Anakin Skywalker: No, it's because I'm so in love with you.
Padmé: So love has blinded you?
Anakin Skywalker: [laughs] Well, that's not exactly what I meant.
Padmé: But it's probably true.

see?  hilarious.  And the delivery is even more comedic.

Love dialogue is another fish in the keetle. As I asked, don't start arguing about it here.

Re: Freespace Series Pilot Teaser
Only if you explain what on earth 'another fish in the kettle' means.

EDIT; aaaaaaahhhhh..........it's a whole different kettle of fish, you mean.

That was amusingly confusing for a while.

Oh, yes, exactly. I knew it had something to do with "keetle" and "fish." Thanks for clarifying.

don't worry, I fully intend to slip 'another fish in the kettle' into my daily usage as soon as I can figure out a context for it.

:D

Re: Freespace Series Pilot Teaser
I tend to use the old ( i mean 30's old) addage, "whats that got to do with the price of fish?" i think i may have even used it on here at some point, but  'another fish in the kettle' implies its still only one kettle not "a different" kettle of fish does it not?
Why hasnt someone started a thread about fish, kettles, and sayings using fish and kettles............

Re: Freespace Series Pilot Teaser
good attitude andy. Never give up, but I'm glad you've listened to the feedback you've gotten. You'll get more constructive criticism next time too.

I would argue with Revenge of the Sith as a screenplay to model dialogue after. It has absolutely horrid dialogue. Try something with more realistic characters; How about Enemy Mine, since it has realistic character interaction and is sci fi. We're already at the Revenge of the Sith level here..

As if I asked people not to discuss EpIII here. So much about HLPers respecting fellow forumite's requests.  :rolleyes:
