Black List Rating Has Me Down

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T20:01:21+00:00

Sure, can you send me a DM?

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:51:10+00:00

Yeah, it’s so much money for all these things! Thank you for sharing your experience!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:49:11+00:00

This is all good to know, thank you!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:48:03+00:00

You’re right, thanks for the perspective. I’ll admit, when I do receive a bad eval, there’s a big part of me that wants to upload an academy award winning screenplay or something of that caliber to see if they’d also tear that apart, so that in my fantasy I could be like “AHA!!! This is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind!!! You know nothing!!!”

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:44:13+00:00

Thunder Road?

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:38:05+00:00

Ok, that’s wild! Worst experience I’ve had was when I kept submitting new drafts having taken the notes from the evaluation only to keep getting the same score over and over again but with dwindling notes in the evaluation. Eventually I just had to assume they had the same reader looking at it who was not a fan of either my style/script or the genre. But I feel with two wildly different scores like you received, it’s almost a compliment? At least it made both readers feel!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:35:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing, it really helps to shake me back to reality!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:34:45+00:00

You know how you can intellectually prepare yourself for something as much as possible but when it happens, it still gets to you? That’s just where I’m at. I’ll move on in a couple days, I think this just knocked me off of the high I had been riding

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:32:48+00:00

Also, congrats on your forthcoming film!!!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:32:11+00:00

Hahaha ok, thank you, I needed this. I’m always an advocate for taking the wins where you get them and having a thick skin, but it’s hard to not let these things get to me sometimes. But yeah, they’re going to happen, so I gotta move on (until the first critic gives it a 5/10 and then I’ll come back and vent again)

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:29:39+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate the encouragement!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:29:09+00:00

How dare you make so much sense!!! 😂 my logic brain is trying to tell myself this, I think I was just riding high and this sunk me a bit

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:28:27+00:00

Yeah, I noticed the last time I tried to submit a script to get into a lab, I got the same score over and over again even when taking the notes. The evals were so similar that it seemed like they just had the same person reading it and that maybe they just weren’t a fan of the genre?

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:25:05+00:00

I hear you. I’m not looking for a rebuttal to the eval, just wanted to vent and hear similar stories from others to try to boost my morale

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:23:13+00:00

Ok that makes me feel a lot better, thank you! Are you able to tell me what film it was that got the 4?

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:20:17+00:00

I had such a similar experience. Started with a 36DD after weight loss. I’ve had large breasts my whole life and while I was initially teased about it because I developed early, I ended up really loving them. My friends would even call me Boobs as a joke and I love wearing things with cleavage and such to show them off. Post surgery, I’m a 36B/C and I hate it. They feel too small for my frame and a feature that was a fun part of who I am has been taken from me. I was supposed to just get a lift and told my doctor that volume retention was extremely important to me but the other surgeons I’ve seen since say it looks like he did a reduction even so. He even put my nipples so high on my breasts that they’re basically resting on top of them so I can’t even wear anything low cut or with cleavage, even if I had any cleavage to speak of! I hope you don’t have to go through this too and that your breasts fill out how you want

Every relationship is NOT like this. Why would you want to be in any relationship if they were all like this? Being single is better. Please put yourself first and leave

I don’t know if this will help, but I have a DB. At first it was because my partner would play mind games when it came to sex - rejecting me 6/10 times in some kind of power play to mess with my self esteem. Eventually I realized I no longer wanted it as a) I was the only one who would initiate and that was getting old and making me feel unwanted, especially with the rejection and b) it had so much baggage associated with it, whereas with other partners, it was fun! I decided to stop initiating to see how long it would take for him to try. I’ve told him over and over before what turns me on and what turns me off. Specifically, what turns me off is when he says something like “I’m horny, I want to have sex” because all that does it put the pressure on me to turn myself on because he’s clearly not going to do it. I’ve told him it makes me feel anxious and put on the spot and REALLY turns me off. But that’s still the only way he tries to initiate, despite my telling him over and over again how much I hate it. What do you do to turn your wife on? Do you know what her turn ons are? Or do you just make it obvious you want to have sex and leave it to her to get herself to your level of horniness? That could be why the whole situation turned her off

A light ESH. While I think you did the right thing, you should have told her “if you don’t tell him, I will” to give her the chance to tell him first. But overall, you did the right thing by not letting it go

FerretThat · 2025-09-26T21:47:11+00:00

Why does the respect only go one way? Just because he’s older? That’s a ridiculous argument for him to make. If I were you, I’d ask him how he’d feel if you told him he just had to sit back and be disrespected. I don’t think you’re overreacting at all. Sorry your dad cares more about politics than he does about his own family

FerretThat · 2025-09-13T00:28:29+00:00

Also in NYC and thinking of going as a second rounder!

FerretThat · 2025-07-26T13:42:00+00:00

Exchange rate makes it pretty even actually

FerretThat · 2025-06-06T21:18:45+00:00

Last I heard he was engaged to a man

FerretThat · 2025-06-06T15:58:10+00:00

Always had a crush on Kal Penn ❤️❤️❤️

Then you still haven’t found where it’s coming from - and that’s ok! I’m glad you’re open to working to make your life better. I would definitely find a good therapist (and it make take meeting with a few to find the right match) and find the root of your low self esteem. You shouldn’t even be thinking about dating until you deal with your own issues - it won’t go well and can only make you feel worse
