I should say a few words as the person who started the "Sequel to Point Break" topic. Couldn't reply there as it was locked anyhow, but every time I was going to reply there was more to read.
Oh well, let me say I didn't intend to start such a debate, and I very much appreciate the advice from each side. Also, glad you like the idea Disease. Rather than post the topic with a subject of "Point Break 2", I quickly thought up a flexible, "Spirits of Mavericks" title, I'd agree though that just "Mavericks" or something would be better for such a screenplay.
That said, I have to feign ignorance here, I honestly didn't know my suggestion of a sequel to "Point Break" would be taken in the seriousness it was.
To be honest, just like this site has a "horror review" message board where people write their reviews to be read basically only by other posters, I figured this screenplay message board was more like that, more for fan fiction or talking about ideas like sequels and such.
With all due respect to the entire site, which is an exceptional movie site, I didn't expect that people were actually as serious about a lot of the material posted here in this particular forum as is obviously the case. Not to slight anyone's efforts, just didn't know.
It's still been very good info to digest and as a potential film student I certainly appreciate it all. There's so much to learn about how it all works as I admit I know basically nothing, aside from the different opinions I've read here.
That said, I see each side's point and can also see how it might be more constructive to put the time into something original, which I also have ideas for anyhow, if I expect the work to be read, or write more for learning and fun with less expectations.
I'd still be glad to share my ideas with anyone who cared to ever write "Mavericks", but I think it's warranted for me to do a lot more reading of other people's work for the time being, while maybe researching other project ideas and building characters for those in some spare time.
Again appreciate all the advice,
GOD bless to everyone!
