Different strokes Funkster, that's all...Speaking of strokes, I had read the original short story in a Playboy I'd swiped from my older brother's room. The hard part(sorry) for me when watching the movie on TV a year or so later with my dad in the room, was not to prematurely ejac--(sorry again...

Soldier. Kurt Russell....Am I close? A very underrated film IMHO. Midnite

"Singing in the Rain" added milk for, you know, 'that' scene. Other than that bit of trivia... Midnite

"Winter's Bone" and "A man from earth".....End of discussion as to what can be done with a good story & minimum money. The scripts I enjoy writing are character driven, so zombies & slashers & stuff are in a league that needs totally different marketing strategies. And this thread is about...

I realize that this is an old thread, but I LUV!!!!! ACTORS!!!!!!!!.......A few flakes now and then? Yeap! But girl-o-boy, I've had some incredibly talented no-names who have gone through hell and back during two features and a short that were made from my scripts in the last year. My only...

We'll try not to burn the place down while you're gone. CONGRATS, indeed!! Midnite

Truth!! The genie is out of the bottle, just ask anyone in the music industry. Those who best adapt to technology's changes are the ones who will thrive. I'm gonna be paying some serious attention to this thread, because I hope some practical advise/discussion will follow...And in regards to...

Thanks. I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't....I'll never get those five years back.:no: Midnite

I'll second "Man on Wire", and if you want one where Story is King, I'll throw in "Man from Earth", a wonderful sci-fi with absolutely no special effects. Midnite

Yo FunkMeister! I actually like your ADR version better. But legally, I'd be more worried about showing the equipment than speaking the name, especially since they're making fun of it...On the other hand, at the level we operate on, who's gonna bother taking you to court? Glad to see ya making...

All I saw on the right hand side "Header" column was "Donate for a Brazilian" <sigh> Midnite

I knew it was Kevin Spacey in "7" just from his voice on the telephone, so I spent half the movie time simply waiting for him to appear. Midnite

I would start drinking, heavily. I would then, while in a continual stupor, spend the next five years of my life cyber-haunting her. I would drag her name through the mud every chance I had until the entire world knew what a worthless douche she was, only to see her rise to fame through my...

Yeap!! I don't quote the Bible very often, but here's one for ya: "Without a dream, the people perish." You've got a dream. You're alive, in more than one sense. That's more than most folks can say. Sounds like most of your problems can be solved with a little more money, and that makes you...

Yo CF! Hope you'll accept best wishes from someone who hasn't seen Avatar yet. Midnite

Staying out of the way is not an option. With the size of the Team you have gathered, your job will be to hold a giant clock and point to it every other minute and say "Perfection be damned, let's keep it moving people!!!" Especially if you're shooting at more than one location. Everyone will...

I have a scene where the characters, shooting pool and drinking, sing a horrendously off-key chorus of "Tell Laura I love her." We're pretty sure that it falls under "parody", but just in case, we also reshot the scene with a "made up" chorus...In another film, we're rolling the dice with an...

There is no loophole. 7 seconds was enough for one film to lose a legal battle over. The contracts for using established music are mind-numbing. If you are determined to use a well known song, then either follow through officially, or take your chances that the publisher will never see the...

Man, I wish I could write something good enough for someone to want to steal. But if I were to worry, the the Library of Congress copyright is the only way to go. The "poor man's copyright" is legally useless. The WGA registration isn't much better, and has to be renewed every 5 years. The LoC...

I always love it when Olsen's blog comes up in a Forum:-) Set aside the F-bombs, (they're used in abundance and, for me, comedic purposes). Set aside whether or not in real life Olsen's a jerk, (I've never met him and couldn't say). Set aside whether or not as a professional he no longer has...
