Linda Vorhees Please go back to Film School


Linda, please dear. You wrote the most awful script I think I've ever seen on film. That, in itself, makes for a melodramatic event! Maybe a course in family psychology and how the American family really communicates. Maybe a course in law to go along with your plots. I dont know the answer, I just know when I see a rotten script and plotline. I know when nothing makes sense. And I know that UCLA Film school can do better teaching their students how to write movie scripts.
Maybe the next one you write will be better. I hope so.

Yeah, her direction was capable enough, but even a third-rate production company that deals in straight-to-dvd should've looked at the script and pissed on it. Wretched effort.

It was just piss poor.

Wow...aren't you guys a little harsh. I get it's your opinion and such but be known she has done other work that is good. So dont be too hasty it will cramp your own style. And you dont want to be a person judging one peice of work? Most writers and directos have room to have some peices not their best work. Just ask yourself, have you guys made anything in film and such that you've gotten made? And if not, then that's ok too. Maybe we should just say nothing of those films that may not be up to your standards. GOD forbid someone makes films cause they love it. We all cant make master peices but I'm tired of those quick to judge the 'person' this case Linda Voorhees on one script. Lion King II rocked, so then what? Just take it easy, grab a pen, grab a camera, get an agent, write your script, put it to video w/either a d list or a list celeb and we'll see how you do.

Um...I'm guessing you didn't do to well in her class, Doug, and you've come to IMDB to berate her?

You do know that she TEACHES screenwriting at UCLA now, right?
