Default Re: The Lounge Screenplay Collective

If there are people here who can execute comedic dialogue that maintains plot focus, that would rule.

Dark comedy idea: A journey through young-adulthood with Anacardo.

However, to most 2+2ers, comedy involves sarcasm, often multi-level, and subtelty, neither of which, individually, have translated well to the screen, much less combined. Perhaps that brand of subtle sarcasm is what's missing from modern comedy, but the way I imagine it, on the screen it's more annoying than funny. Maybe I have it wrong, though.
