Whose writing an absurd script? Come on, show up your massed heads...you know you are...Okay, if you're not, can you just say what type you *are* doing and how badly mine's going to beat yours.

 

[veridis]

yep you got me
absurdist here
well probably more surrealist as i'm not exactly existentialist but close enough
*wonders if he should include anymore buzzwords*

 

[Meldrum]

Mmm.

I think you've probably picked what's going to mean the difference between a 30 and a 50: buzzwords.

Say you're a marker and you've got all these Absurd scripts which are all really good, what's going to sepparate one rather-over-done script from another rather-over-done script? Buzzwords.

 

[veridis]

thats what i'm hoping. buzzwords and overly obscure metaphors.

The death of some jazz musician?

Mine has some surreal elements but not outside the scope of the script.

I feel most post-modern/absurdist scripts end up being pretentious and boring, whilst alienating me from something they want me to read.
