When you walk into the room. You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above. And you lift me up in a wave of love
Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth? Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first. We'll make heaven a place on earth

Things that try way too hard to be "original" or "shocking". There's a difference between doing something different and just going for shock factor.

Scripts that are WAY too long without dignifying their length or excessively lengthy action paragraphs (something I know I've been guilty of doing in the past).

They said I wasn't good enough for television. How do you like me now, voices in my head?
- Bad Scripts
- Fake out Leads executed so obviously that its not a fake out
- Unrealistic killers for the point of shock
- Dumb survivor to be shocking

Scream scripts don't bother me, but damn... I remember the first time I checked out the fan-fiction section of USMB and the bombardment of Scream sequels everywhere.

Actually great times. But I remember feeling mad overwhelmed at first.

Definitely agree about scripts that unjustifiably long.

Mine would be overused sarcasm in dialogue. There was a cool guy on USMB(whose name I regretfully forget, but some may remember) who wrote a couple of good Scream scripts but that filled his dialogue with nothing but overly sarcastic characters and sex jokes. It was his interpretation, but jesus, his script was night and day with well-written, engaging action and awful dialogue.

Dialogue is so fucking hard. Fuck Kevin Smith and Quentin Tarantino and their limitless talent in this area.
