'So today we’re going to do something different. Robert, a longtime reader of Scriptshadow and a really nice guy, e-mailed me to let me know he had finally written a script he was confident enough in to submit to Amateur Friday. There was only one problem. It was 142 pages long.'
Robert, the future Qan0n dude, replies by comparing his COMEDY to long scripts like Citizen Kane....
Quoth he:
'But it seems that lengthier scripts generally turn into better, more timeless movies than their shorter brethren. It's just a fact of the page; you're never, ever going to jam as meaningful a story into 90 pages as you would spending 130 pages on the story.'

Scriptshadow does not like the script:
'The opening scene was quite strange. Andrew buys a ham. Another man steals it from him as he walks out the door. Andrew chases him, corners him, and then pays him $375 for the ham back.'

'There’s some talent on display, but the script reads like it only makes sense to the writer himself, as if he thinks we’re in his head with him.'
This was 2012. By 2018, Robert was a Q follower.
In 2019, he raised $150k via crowdfunding to write his Q book -- which he then sold to people. It's still available online.

Q-dude responds 2 Scriptshadow:
'Hahahahahahahah thanks, I really needed to hear that after all... this. It's amazing how vicious writers can be to other writers, especially when all I wanted to do was write a story that would help people and hopefully make them a bit happier.'
