Brought to you by Comedy Central, the thirteenth season of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is packed with humor. As usual, you'll see several friends and their bar, Paddy's Pub. They will try to find their way in the world of work and relationships, but season thirteen will be all the more uncomfortable. Bad relationships, awkward encounters with the Mcpoyles, and downright failures when it comes to business opportunities. Season thirteen will have it all, and more. The first episode, "The Gang Splits Up" sets the scene for the rest of the unforgettable, thirteenth season.
The episode begins with Frank informing Mac and Charlie that he must close Paddy's Pub due to bankruptcy. Mac and Charlie immediately begin their hunt for a new job. After some thought, the two friends decide to fall back on one of their old ideas, fight milk. As explained in previous episodes, fight milk is "the first alcoholic, dairy-based protein drink for bodyguards by bodyguards." The drink is comprised of an absurd list of ingredients, including a crow's egg, milk, and unidentified booze. After opening a factory to mass-produce their "fight milk", Mac and Charlie take their product to a gym, in hopes of marketing the drink to people there.
After interacting with multiple people at the gym, Mac and Charlie start to see a trend. Every person they approach with the fight milk ignores them or walks away. After an embarrassing trip around the gym, a man finally tells them the reason that everyone is avoiding the two. Apparently, one of the fighters that has tried “fight milk” told everyone how disgusting the drink was and word got around about the drink. Mac and Charlie, defeated, walk back to Paddy’s Pub, expecting to break in for one last drink. When they arrive, the door is open and people are in the bar. Frank laughs at Mac and Charlie as they enter and yells, “I was kidding, you bastards!”
The cast includes Charlie Day as Charlie, Rob McElhenney as Mac, Danny DeVito as Frank, and Gerard Butler, Colin Farrell, Josh Duhamel, Jensen Ackles, and Adam Brody as extras. The link to the episode is https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1xcuWK92hAYSlpmVGNFTDhhY0E.
She accomplished her third intention by including how they always say "bro" or "dude" and their invention of Fight Milk.
ReplyDeleteKatie accomplished intention number 2 by having Mac and Charlie embarrass themselves at the gym.
ReplyDeleteKept true to the characters my making their dialogue similar to the show.
ReplyDeleteKatie was able to accomplish her second intention because Mac and Charlie embarrassed themselves when they were in the gym trying to sell their "fight milk." It is difficult to know if she accomplished her other two intentions because it requires a previous knowledge of the show of which I have none. It is hard to appreciate the screenplay without any previous knowledge of the show.
ReplyDeleteKatie wrote this screen play based on an already established show and although this added some humor it also created a detrimental effect to the screen play. Subjects such as "fight milk" were talked about in which no one knew what it was since no one had seen the show before. Despite this being said, Katie was able to hit her intention number 3, with the invention of fight milk and the tone present between the characters.
ReplyDeleteKatie hit her third intention by creating the fight milk, although Ive never watched the show it seems pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteKatie was able to complete her intentions with "fight milk". I've never watched the show so I didn't get most of the references, but we still were dying laughing at the randomness of the word fight milk.
ReplyDeleteMet goal #3 by keeping the dialogue true to what they would say in the actual show, making this seem like it could be a legit 13th season
ReplyDeleteThe characters personality is shown through the dialogue and the characters actions.
ReplyDeleteGood use of showing Charlies personality through the crazy actions and dialogue like fight milk and huffing glue.
ReplyDeleteYou met your second goal by charlie spreading oil all over himself to accentuate his body
ReplyDeleteHer first goal was achieved through the use of Charlie's dialogue that basically seemed like it could come straight from the show and through his actions which actually showed him being weird.
ReplyDeleteHer first goal was achieved by making Charlies odd traits pop out and make him thew unique character it is. I found myself hearing the gangs voices while I was reading this so the dialogue was good.
ReplyDeleteHer first goal was achieve with the Charlie's dialogue. She captured his character and tone very well.
ReplyDeleteThe screenplay does a good job of staying true to the original show.
ReplyDeleteAbe Ancis: Katie was able to achieve her intention with "fight milk". Although I've never watch the show this is very funny and am sure this represents what you would get from the real thing.
ReplyDeleteKatie did a good job completing her first goal. She included dialogue that represented Charlie's personality perfectly.
ReplyDeletenot to sure about the previous episodes of this show but you seemed to capture their relationship very well (goal #3)
ReplyDeleteYou accomplished your third goal by having it feel like an actual episode of Sunny.
ReplyDeleteShe achieved her second goal because Mac and Charlie embarrassed themselves when they were trying to sell "fight milk" at the gym. Her third goal was achieved because she included their normal dialogue.
ReplyDeleteShe achieved her third goal by capturing the relationships between the characters. This was done through the use of their normal dialogue and the way they usually act with each other.
ReplyDeleteKatie accomplishes her goal by having a slap stick type of relationship between her main characters.
ReplyDeletemet goal #2 by making the characters embarrass themselves
ReplyDeleteYou met your third goal by keeping the dialogue true to what the show would actually write.
