So it's an unused screenplay. And if it's by Michael Chabon, then it would have probably made a great movie.

A great movie. That never was.

Wonder if there's a thread for that sort of thing....

Why would be interested in an unused script for a movie that turned out to be GOOD? I would be much more interested if it was an unused script for Spiderman 3, that actually made sense and wasn't jam packed with crap.

How can I put it in that thread until I know it is GREAT?  You'll have to read the whole screenplay and tell us.

Point taken.

It is monstrous, isn't it? A screenplay numbering 253 pages means a 4 hours and 13 minute movie, right? Jesus.

Uh no, it would be a 253 minute movie.

Anyway, the file isn't available anymore. It must have been so great that it created a blackhole of greatness and swallowed itself.

You're not very good at math, are you?

Juuuust beat me to it.

If anybody wants to read it.  I downloaded it.  I can send it to you (Bratpop).

Sorry, yes. My mind wouldn't acknowledge the idea of a 253-page script and instead I saw "2:53" as in "2hrs 53min". I thought he was thinking it was 2 minutes per page or something. I'm not that bad at math.

I wonder why they rejected it? *sarcasm!*

No, I don't want to read it. The terrible opening narration was bad enough. I HATE that aspect of the movies. No, it doesn't make up for the lack of Spider-Man quipping. It's not even Spidey's narration, it's Peter's. It's tacky enough in any movie (usually a sign of bad writing) but they managed to make it even worse. "Who am I? I'm Spider-Man!" Well DUH, Captain Obvious!

First of all, Spider-Man and Peter Parker are the same guy.  Just so you know.

Also, I like the fact that you added *sarcasm!*  Sometimes sarcasm can be lost in the written word, so it was nice that you could clear things up.  However, I especially like the exclamation mark, which make me think that you're saying something that then suddenly yell "sarcasm!"

It is most fun to apply this to real life:

"Honey, did you get the groceries?"
"Of course I did."
"Oh, then did you remember to pick up--"
"Sarcasm!"
"...what?"

bah!


that is my contribution to this topic...thank you and goodnight

[bratpop]

I'm saying, you don't hear the narration going, "Yeah. That's me. That dork there. What a pathetic loser. Can't even afford Neutrogena. Seems like the biggest weiner in the world, right? Well if somebody told you my life was a sad little tale; if somebody said I was just a whimpy piece of crap, not a snowball's chance in hell of ever getting laid... they forgot to mention I'm SPIDER-MAN and I pound supermodel tail every night. Nuff said!"

I didn't realize spider man was such an embittered dickweed. o.o
