Thanks! I definitely plan to keep pursuing this further. A lot of good points have been brought up which have caused me to re-think the particulars of the idea.

I'm glad you didn't read any more. Save yourself the strain.

Those are freaking awesome! Are you producing the cases yourselves or are you reselling them? If you're doing it yourself, you should think hard about getting Think Geek to sell them.

Most people enjoy the humor, but not everyone. I understand that comedy is very subjective so if you didn't find it funny I can understand that. Comedy is difficult and rarely funny on the page (Pineapple Express is one of the least funny scripts I've ever read but the movie is hilarious).

Thanks for your notes. I really appreciate you taking the time.

Well, it's not for everybody. :)

I would be open to writing a script in another genre, however, most of my appeal comes from my portfolio of camedies. I've continued to grow this however. Don't want people to think that I'm just harping on this one script. I've only recently pulled it off the shelf to see if this idea I had might work.

Thank you for the notes, they're very good. I agree that we should get more from the stands and there is some real opportunity to bring back characters like Jose and Esteban there. I agree also that there is room to build the resentment of the kids further.

Yoohoo, Twinkies and roaches. All that shall remain after WW3? Gross.

I like the way you think and I am working to put together a site just like the one you described. I really like the idea of having an email sent to Will Ferrell's agent any time someone reads and likes it.

This is sort of a dry run to see how those participating on a site like Reddit would respond to this idea. I'm glad that many of you like it.

I have continued to write beyond this screenplay which has, at this point, become more of a sample script. This is where my idea comes from, why let this screenplay sit on the shelf? Maybe, with enough people reading it and talking about it and sharing it, it can grow legs again.

Who knows? It's a fun experiment at least. I hope you enjoy the rest of it and I'd love to hear what you think when you're done.
