Just caught someone looking at Geena Davis again.
If you think about it, looking at a Geena Davis pic on a movie-related forum seems like one of the most random things possible.

[Swan]

Well, she is an actress.

[Gatsby]

Well, anyways, guests are bots put in by Yoda to make this place look popular.

[Swan]

Man, I felt pretty accomplished all day today. I've never really finished a script before, even just a rough draft, so this is like, a life achievement for me and the first step toward my biggest goal. Even if the script is no good, at least I finished it, which is the main thing.

[Gatsby]

Great job Swan. :)

The one and only time Holden Pike actually made a post in Sexy Celebrity's Movie Commentaries (http://www.movieforums.com/community/showthread.php?p=1088662#post1088662) he posted this picture of Geena Davis in Earth Girls Are Easy and now I constantly see guests looking at it in "Who's Online."

Now they'll be checking it out in this thread all the time.

Monster energy drink: breakfast of champions for some, fuel of late-night productivity for me.

[cricket]

Back when I was pushing it 24/7, I used to like Monster until I went to Red Bull. I don't drink any of that crap now.

[Swan]

Not a fan of Red Bull. Or Rockstar. Monster all the way for me.

[cricket]

I didn't like Rockstar either

[Zotis]

I used to like Monster a lot, but energy drinks are so bad for you. So I stopped drinking them.

I wonder what Rockstar Energy Cola is like. It tastes like Coke?

[AboveTheClouds]

Yeah actually, it does SC. Ever had Jolt Cola? it's closer to that even still.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I had Jolt a long time ago. I'll have to find the Energy Cola.

[Camo]

I worked for a company that had some sort of deal with whoever makes Rockstar at one point. Thought it was great at first but i'm pretty sure i cut a good 15 years off my life drinking free cans all day every day, i shiver even looking at that stuff now.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I don't drink them all the time. Just every now and then I'll grab one.

[Camo]

I don't drink them all the time. Just every now and then I'll grab one.

It was just being able to grab one whenever, stuff just makes you more thirsty as well.

[AboveTheClouds]

I use them as a coffee sub, because I think coffee is poison. I drink maybe 1/2 to a full can a day, 2 when I was working 14 hour days welding though.

[Sexy Celebrity]

All I know is I once had TWO Rockstars in one day... and two aspirins I think it was.... don't do that. I took a nap and when I woke up, I felt.... loopy. Might be hard to imagine, but I felt like my mind was racing and I couldn't "get ahold of myself." There was this weird feeling of mental disorganization. It was scary. I think it was those drinks and the aspirin together.

Probably a low tolerance to caffeine, were you perspiring severely or having shortness of breath as well? I have done my share of certain chemical compounds and never really found the caffeine to interact with me in a way that was seemingly detrimental.

Funny fact, they say if you ingest caffeine before a nap, when you wake up you'll feel 100% and not groggy whatsoever. Tried it one day, actually worked.

I've taken several energy shots before at once. And certainly felt it. I definitely have had a lot of caffeine in my life. But I dunno -- that one day, I had two Rockstars and I think two Aspirins and then I took a nap and when I woke up, I didn't feel right. It's like I couldn't "connect to myself." I don't know how to explain it. Like right now, I feel normal. That day, I felt.... I dunno. It was like a high, in a way. But an unpleasant one.

Sort of like a haze, and it feels like your brain doesn't really process information all that well. Like a disconnect I guess, you feel scrambled and somewhat off kilter. If that's the case SC, I have been there and it's not pleasant at all. Glad you came out of it alright.

Can someone explain something to me? Why is it that when someone starts a thread that's a duplicate of a thread that already exists, they're told to use the search feature and just bump the old thread, but when someone bumps a very old thread, they're asked why they're bumping an old thread? :confused:

Normally I would figure it's a non issue, but when one takes quality over quantity into consideration, and you have someone who is literally posting wikipedia information in threads, it just seems like spam and like he's trying to up a post count. Now I could be entirely incorrect, but I've seen this sort of thing before.

Yeah. It's like I wasn't receiving the radio signals to broadcast the awake, conscious me. I was THERE and yet the tuning wasn't right. It's like being yourself but with static interference. It's like I couldn't "grab ahold" of me. Like I was just spinning around mentally like a pinwheel.

I don't think they are asked why.

...But if they bump say 2 dozen old threads in the course of a few minutes?

No one can possibly have that many stars on their mind at one time, when it suddenly occurs to them to go search for those specific people & topics because the very person or topic they were thinking about (because say, they just saw a movie with that star) comes up in a search (can they?)

I'm not asking just about the nut who's bumping old threads tonight. I mean in general. We see stuff like this a lot, and even if the person bumping the thread has something interesting to say, someone usually asks them why they bumped an old thread. But if they start a new thread about the same topic, they're told that they should have searched first and bumped the old thread.

Either they should bump the old thread, or start a duplicate thread, but both answers can't be correct.

Sometimes new members just want to start posting quickly, and one way to do that is to search for old threads that sound interesting. They don't always use the search feature. Sometimes they just browse through various sections of the forum.

That's what I did when I first joined, but I started with the Movie Questions section, and answered a bunch of old unanswered questions so nobody complained. But when they pick random threads and just try to get involved, it seems to annoy people.

Hi gbg. I've been told to bump old threads because, when I first came here, I didn't know where the search button was and started out posting redundant topics, but I've never been criticized for bumping an old thread. (Of course I didn't bump 2 dozen of them in a half hour!) ;)

It's not really criticism, but usually someone saying something like, "Dude, why'd you bump a 15 year old thread?", or "Hey buddy, did you know that this thread is 10 years old?", etc.

In general I would just assume use the old thread because it's already got a plethora of info and insight (mostly ;)) But I figure people think they're gonna get a better reaction to a thread that's fresh and still got that new car smell. Sorry if I misunderstood you GB, and I do agree with you, both cannot be correct, but it's not really like we personally have any say in it, so whatever happens happens.

[Camo]

I was just wondering if you had any examples of people being criticized for bumping old threads when they have something interesting to say. The way you said it made it seem like the same poster was being criticized for both. Technically both answers can be correct for different reasons as long as it wasn't the same poster.

Yeah, the timing on my question probably wasn't the best, and I'm certainly not trying to defend the guy who's just randomly bumping threads tonight, but this question has been on my mind for a while, and I just thought someone might have some insight into this issue.

Personally, I don't mind when people bump the old threads as long as they have something to add to the discussion, but for some reason, it seems to bother some people.

[Captain Steel]

It's not really criticism, but usually someone saying something like, "Dude, why'd you bump a 15 year old thread?", or "Hey buddy, did you know that this thread is 10 years old?", etc.

I think people are reacting to the specifics of the circumstances.

Like say I bumped the thread about Tom Green, but my post was that I just saw this guy in some movie or in some news story and hadn't seen nor heard about him in a decade.

If that was the only thread I bumped this evening, I don't think anyone would care about the age of the thread.

(except maybe Sexy Celebrity would probably have a comment.) Wot? Wot? ;)

P.S. I remember this one scene from the Tom Green show where he was being pulled in a rickshaw, was dressed as a Scotsman wearing a kilt, and was screaming (just a long moaning scream) into a megaphone while being pulled up & down some sort of public thoroughfare - it was like a walkway next to a lake or a beach or something. If anyone could find or give me a link to that clip, I'd be much obliged!

They don't bother me when someone bumps old threads, so they don't really stick in my memory for long, so I'd have to go back and search, but there have been a few of them recently. A couple of them were even threads that had been started by members who have since been banned, and I remember the comments asking why someone bumped an old thread that was started by a banned member.

[Camo]

I don't think anyone bothers if someone bumps an old thread as long as they add something interesting, even if they don't i usually don't notice anyway.

[AboveTheClouds]

I'll have a look for it CS. I actually have the boxset of the original Tom Green Show. This however, is my favourite bit from that show ever. He gets lesbians doing dirty things air brushed on his parents car, it's outrageous, but actually sooooo funny.

Weird. I don't know. Usually people only say something if someone is bumping a lot of old threads at one time. As i said i usually don't even notice anyway, the only time i ever bring it up is if someone starts a thread that clearly would have been made multiple times on a movie forum like overrated movies. And even then i usually just post links to the already existing threads.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I remember kinda liking Tom Green back when he was a thing... but all I really remember him doing was showing his testicular cancer operation on TV. And that "Freddy Got Fingered" movie which I kinda liked before. But he's so ... almost 20 years ago.

Didn't he date Drew Barrymore?

I remember he was on "Celebrity Apprentice" - the Donald Trump show. He lost early. I think it was the season Joan Rivers won.

He was married to her, and subsequently had a cameo in Charlie's Angels because of it. He was also a professional skateboarder, all the skate tricks his character does in Freddy got Fingered, he actually does. No stunt double.

They are obviously mostly fake at least. I think it probably started out with mostly real stories but they had to get more outrageous when the show was massive at one point. On one of those panel shows Jerry was saying that he would only be given a card with the title of the segment say "my family won't accept my wife" then it would turn out to be a horse or something. Doubt that is even true but it is hilarious to think about.

Bizarre Foods is one of my favorite reality shows - but that's not really considered "reality" TV. So what is it called? Trav-Edu-Docu?

People think reality TV is new, but lots of things are reality TV that have been around since the beginning of TV... like game shows, news casts, investigative reporting shows (like 60-minutes), science shows (remember Mr. Wizard?), kids shows like Romper Room & Wonderama, nature shows, travel shows, talk shows, etc.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after you.

That's probably without a doubt the worst piece of advice anyone could give me.

[gbgoodies]

Bizarre Foods is one of my favorite reality shows - but that's not really considered "reality" TV. So what is it called? Trav-Edu-Docu?

People think reality TV is new, but lots of things are reality TV that have been around since the beginning of TV... like game shows, news casts, investigative reporting shows (like 60-minutes), science shows (remember Mr. Wizard?), kids shows like Romper Room & Wonderama, nature shows, travel shows, talk shows, etc.


When I was a kid, one of my friends was supposed to be on "Wonderama", but he was kicked off the show for bad behavior.

[Swan]

I totally changed the structure of my script. It's at 57 pages total now, but I will have no problem adding content now considering it's structure. I have all the characters in order, all the arcs, storylines, it's just a matter of adding more scenes.

[Gatsby]

Currently working on my Top 50 albums, while Swan is working on his script.

[Swan]

We should collaborate and write a script about your top 50 albums.

[Derek Vinyard]

I love The Babadook.

Just rewatch it and it's great as hell.

[Swan]

That is a great film.

[Miss Vicky]

I vote anything Kaufman.

[Swan]

Yeah, I want to watch a Kaufman but I'm supposed to be watching El Dorado. Damn you Daniel M!!!!

[Sexy Celebrity]

Kaufman's overrated, says the person who once thought Kaufman was really, really great himself.

[Swan]

I don't think he's overrated at all.

[Derek Vinyard]

That is a great film.

Everything is great in that movie! Atmosphere, Actors, Direction, Soundtracks and I love the creature. The Babadook as an awesome look!


btw cannot wait to watch The Witch (VV)! Heard it's awesome.

[Derek Vinyard]

I vote anything Kaufman.

I want to watch Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind but I don't know if it's my kind of movie?

Do you like it or recommend it to me ?

[Sexy Celebrity]

Oh, I do. I still love Adaptation, but everything else is flawed. Synecdoche is kinda intriguing, but I didn't understand it the first time I saw it, and the second time, and I still think it's not all there. I've never cared for Eternal Sunshine at all. I remember reading the script to that movie online before the film came out.... and I liked the script, but the movie itself was a disappointment. It's been too long since I've seen Being John Malkovich. Not since it came out.

Has he not done anything new since Synecdoche?

[Derek Vinyard]

I don't think he's overrated at all.

I see one movie of Kaufman and it's Adaptation and it was very nice!

[Miss Vicky]

I want to watch Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind but I don't know if it's my kind of movie?

Do you like it or recommend it to me ?

Do I like it? It's in my top ten. ;)

I don't know if you'll like it or not. It's got some great humor and romance, but there's an overriding theme of loneliness and desperation. I think it's really beautiful. Give it a try.

[Swan]

I think when I make my revenge western that I'm writing, I'm going to cast Michael Cera as one of the more important gang members, and turn him into a respected character actor.

I will give it a try tomorrow I think since it look very good and intrigue me since a while :) Thank you

Are you serious? Kaufman did a stop motion movie? The ultimate in pretension!

[Swan]

It is definitely influenced by him. I can't help but be influenced by Tarantino.

[Swan]

No one listen to Sexy, he's the pretentious one.

[Swan]

Here is Michael Cera preparing for his role as an outlaw with a gnarly beard, for my film. Unfortunately, he's failing in the growing a beard department.

[Swan]

Yep. I've spent the last three nights writing a revenge western.

Actually, I finished it in the first night, but it was only 30 pages long, so I've been working on to expanding it. I'm up to 72 pages!

[Swan]

You know, I'm quarter-joking about Cera, but I do think he's an underrated actor. I can't see him playing a badass outlaw, but I can kind of envision him as this very cowardly gang member in my script.

[Sexy Celebrity]

But that's what's wrong with the world right now -- too many people writing screenplays with cowardly gang members.

[Swan]

It's a minor character. You should see the gang leader, Monk. He's a ****ing badass nihilistic maniac.

[Miss Vicky]

Underrated actor? He has played the same character in everything he's ever done.

He is George Michael Bluth. Regardless of a film's plot or the character's name or backstory, he is George Michael Bluth.

Dude has no range.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Nihilism. Yes. Nihilism is a big pretentious trend.

He does have range, and you can see it in some of his films a bit. The problem is he doesn't get an opportunity to branch out really, because people just want him to constantly be George Michael Bluth.

[Swan]

Nihilism. Yes. Nihilism is a big pretentious trend.

Sounds like you won't like my script, Sexy. Sorry!

[Miss Vicky]

Name a film where he showed range.

[Swan]

No, because you'll just disagree with me.

[Swan]

It's fun as hell, dude. I'm having a blast right now! The trick is to not worry about writing a masterpiece, but just let loose and have fun telling a story!

[Sexy Celebrity]

Is there room in your script for Seth Rogen?

[Miss Vicky]

No, because you'll just disagree with me.

It's called discussion. I'm just asking you to back up your claim.

[Swan]

Is there room in your script for Seth Rogen?

I was considering him actually for this one character, but changed my mind to Steve Schirripa when Daniel M mentioned him, because he is basically exactly how I envision this character, look-wise.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Steve Schirripa? I've never even heard of him.

[Swan]

Steve Schirripa? I've never even heard of him.

Well, he looks like the fat outlaw Marty!

[Swan]

Daniel sees Monk as being portrayed by Klaus Kinski, but I don't see that myself, as crazy as Kinski was.

I think a young David Thewlis would've been cool... maybe.

[Swan]

Screw it. I should just get monkeys to play all the characters.

[Swan]

I wish I was as cool as Robert Eggers, but at least I kind of look like him, maybe. So there's that.

[Gatsby]

Speaking of Michael Cera...

[Camo]

Anomalisa is great my second favourite of last year after Going Clear.

And i have to agree with MV, Cera always plays George Michael. The only film i can think of that he tried something different was Youth In Revolt and it just felt like George Michael trying to act like a badass.

[Swan]

Welp, I have revised the first two chapters to first-draft level. They are, more or less, what I want on a basic level before really thinking about my script as a cohesive whole.

Need to do the same with the following chapters, then re-read the entire script. Then, if all is good, I can declare it a complete first draft. :)

[foster]

Don't stop at 70 pages.. it's an awkward length. Take it up to 90 and you'll have a genuine feature length script.

[Swan]

Of course, Foster, I agree. I find as I read over and think about each chapter, I have more to say. And there are some already-written scenes I know will need to be expanded on. I'm at 76 pages right now, so getting to 90 with all that in mind should be fairly easy. :)

[Swan]

And I'm not stopping there. This is just the first draft.

[Swan]

Need to start thinking about cinematic influences. So far its

The Great Silence
Breaking Bad
Tarantino, Vivre sa Vie, and Antichrist (being told in chapters)
Jodorowsky

Could look at other stuff for potential influence, help form the film and maybe give me new material.

[foster]

And I'm not stopping there. This is just the first draft.

Well you generally don't want to go past 110.
Pretty awesome swan, I've never written a feature before.

I want to start one this year though.
I think my 6 pages horror script took longer than your 76 pages :lol:

Industry standard.. no one wants a spec script past that length.
Just stands to reason that if you put all that work into a screen play you might as well make it conform to what is considered a viable length for production.

Saul was pretty decent first season, but these first two episodes of season two have been really awesome. He's finally acting like the criminal lawyer we all know and love. Same with Mike.

[Swan]

Oh, and of course, one of the influences has got to be my favorite book, Blood Meridian, by Cormac McCarthy. Like Breaking Bad and Tarantino, I can't help but feel it's overwhelming influence all the time.

[Swan]

Industry standard.. no one wants a spec script past that length.

Interesting to consider, especially if you want into the industry. I'll keep it in mind but I don't think I'll live by that. The script is going to be as short or as long as the story ends up deeming necessary, I think.

sometimes in movies they'll make fun of a writer by saying their spec script is 200+ pages. Can't remember where I saw that

[Swan]

That's pretty lame. No artistic integrity, I tell ya!

[foster]

are you using screen writing software for proper formatting ?
otherwise the number of pages will be inconsistent with industry standard and you won't quite know where it falls
