Ikamenze: I liked it a lot. And as you said above "There's nothing like a perfect script." Besides the main few things I mentioned to Sholay I had an issue with have been changed in the edit. The only thing is how plausibly Mary not knowing his mother is written and a couple of niggles when delving into the 'backstory'. But it is what it is and I still think it's pretty good. |

Ikamenze:Bro, God will bless you and may you succeed in life endeavours. I appreciate your post. Well, you've spoken well as a fellow scriptwriter. My own perspective is, try to be as detailed as possible, so far you won't piss the director off. It may nt be necessary in a short, but for a feature, it may even helpin casting. Those described physical features makes the character feel specific, not just ambiguous. With the parentheses, Prof also indicated that and I have reduced it to the ones that I feel are necessary. So, I don't still get why they are a problem. Tnx for that dialogue tip but that's what I do. Maybe it just didn't sound realistic to you. It happens...art is subjective. And the location of the setting wasn't related, but we re sure it's the "toosh" part of "Nigeria". Or maybe the dialogue didn't go the way you would have written it. Lol. Villageboi na correct critic oo and pls, dnt take any feather from his cap. He is quite blunt and in his opinion, would find loopholes in a script and correct it. What you think is a loophole, may not be one to him. Or he may have his cogent reasons but Villageboi is one of the ppl that know their onions and can as well tell you the truth. In short, he has never spared me. I believed I stuck to the 'show' not 'tell' thing. But I may not have written it the way you expected. EVERYTHING IN THE SCRIPT CAN BE SEEN ON SCREEN IF SHOT AS A FILM. That's what is called "showing". Like where I said Mary dialed a number. If I had said "she dialed her husband's no", that's "telling" 'cos hw do we automatically know it's her husband she dialed while watching it on screen except there is a close camera shot? I tried as much as possible to write things that would be seen by a viewer, not just read by a reader. I'm not trying to say I am perfect...infact, far from it. But kindly point out areas in the script where it was "telling"...not "showing"...maybe it's you that have the wrong idea of what "showing" entails. Tnx for ur comment all the same. I look forward to seeing your short. |

Nice one! BTW I think the dialogue is cool, nothing wrong in anyway..especially the part Jaye and the Madam Q, had me in that scene pretty well, the way he expressed his shock when Madam Q dropped her bomb, I like it. |

Billions can be fooled, but I wont be. Simple Biology states and proves that Egg and Sperm MUST fuse to form an embryo, and fetus - the precursors of babies. It baffles me, that billions of people, both Christians, and non-Christians, believe that Holy Spirit had sperm, had sex with Mary and fathered Jesus. Something is definitely wrong with many humans, but not Billyonaire. I refuse to believe this, and I conclude that the Virgin Birth of Jesus - is the Most Acceptable Lie, most unquestionable Lie.
