Word up everyone. Another post is up. It's not one of my favourites. That is to say, I like the concept but the execution.....aaah whatever. Check it out. See what you think. You can all make up your own minds.
I remember seeing a Star Trek: Next Generation episode where they went through some kind of anomaly field, and a person fell halfway through the floor of a corridor before the anomaly passed. The expression and posing of the torso was perfection.
In your story? Yeah, I got that they were from other traps. I was just mentioning that it reminded me of the time machine from Timeline. :)
I remember that episode. Yeah, I liked her posing as well. Pretty horrific.
Cool that you got that they were from other hazards. I had a moment there.
There was also a book called The Bad Place by Dean Koontz that had a transporter in it. He wasn't very powerful and he was getting progressively worse whenever he transported and he was transporting in his sleep. He'd wake up and a few bits of his shirt would be woven into the tip of his shoe and stuff. And he'd be bleeding and he'd have a pillow sack filled with rubies and giant spiders.
Now, Dean Koontz isn't Shakespeare but I thought that book would make a great screenplay.
I've always thought it was weird how Stephen King and Dean Koontz are so similar, yet I can't think of any of Koontz' books that have been made into movies.
There's been a few but they've been sucktastic. At least a handful of the Kings are watchable. Maybe it's just a track record thing. Whispers, Phantoms and Hideaway (the filmed in Vancouver classic starring a young Alicia Silverstone before her ten minutes of fame a few years later when Clueless came out, Jeff Goldblum and a very young Jeremy Sisto before he went on to play the crazy brother in Six Feet Under. There was a scene in a club called The Twilight Zone in Vancouver that I used to go to all the time that's been shut down for years. I'm starting to feel like an old man here so I'm going to stop writing.)
I think I might just try my hand at a Bad Place screenplay.
