What's it all about?

The main notion of this blog is to write about scripts, movies and games. I'm a very creative individual and I heard that creating a blog is a good way to express opinions on the things we love and hate. I want this blog to be interesting and constantly updating- a 'sort of' second CV, if you will. Wish me luck and let's see what happens.

Sample Script 2- Johnny Bastion

This is a sample of a bizarre script I wrote during a mad two months of my life- It's about a time-travelling 1950's movie-star named Johnny Bastion who ends up finding perfect solitude in present day San Francisco. I love conversations that are unnecessarily long without boring the audience...here's my attempt.

Johnny knocks loudly on the door, then enters. Charlie's room is pitch black.

BASTION
Charlie, Charlie! Is this your room?

CHARLIE
(painfully blank)
Yes.

BASTION
I've got something to tell you.

CHARLIE
Who are you?

BASTION
It's me John.

CHARLIE
I know I'm joking.

BASTION
Charlie, Amanda is here to speak to you.

CHARLIE
Shit. Tell her I'll be up in 5 minutes.

BASTION
Shouldn't keep a woman waiting, Charlie.

CHARLIE
It's okay, she's my sister.

BASTION
Your sister?

CHARLIE
Yeah.

BASTION
Well...you still need to get up, but take your time.

CHARLIE
Leave Amanda alone.

BASTION
Is she married? In a relationship?

CHARLIE
No, leave her alone

BASTION
I'm cooking breakfast so get up.

CHARLIE
You're cooking breakfast?

BASTION
Yeah.

CHARLIE
Cool. What kinda breakfast?

BASTION
Bacon and eggs, maybe toast.

CHARLIE
I don't have any bread.

BASTION
Just Bacon and eggs, then.

CHARLIE
That's awesome, thanks man. Beats cereal for a change. Can you brew some coffee too?

BASTION
Are you gonna get up?

CHARLIE
(painfully blank)
Yes.
