    misc New Short Film Ganger (2023)

    Just watched it... While I did like it, I think I liked what this could have been. Just didn't seem quite tight enough. Ran long in a few spots but still... It was fun to watch and I take my hat off to you for getting it done!

    An interesting look at how long it took a talented actor to get recognized in Hollywood

    Watch him play Louie the loan shark in PHOENIX. He steals every scene he's in.

    story How can I further develop this supernatural horror movie of mine?

    You wrote: But the main story of my movie is about a 27 year old male American by the name of Duncan. Duncan is struggling to buy a home where he can live. Due to a coincidence, he then met a stranger who offered him a large beautiful mansion for a cheap price. The mansion is also still in good...

    Tap Water is Cancerous

    My family drinks a hell of a lot of water... More than most and I went down this rabbit hole myself a few years ago. I won't get into the discussion of cancer and all that but I do find some relief knowing that we're filtering out as much as possible. In fact, there are quite a bit PFAS in a lot...

    critique "On a Whim" (4 Pages) - Screenplay - Feedback much much needed

    So I had to read through this a few times in order to understand it. If I'm correct, you're showing an old man who's lost his wife after many years of marriage. I wouldn't say this is garbage as much as I'd say it's HARD TO UNDERSTAND. In the beginning of the script, are these flashbacks the...

    screenplay What are typical lengths of successful screenplays?

    Don't let it PUZZLE you. LOL. I've looked at a hell of a lot (hundreds) of newbieISH wannabe screenwriters' screenplays over the years and nobody has ever once not overwritten. I'm more than willing to concede that you don't overwrite... As long as you do not. I'm willing to bet that you do...

    Another Filmmaker

    The Screenwriter's Bible is a good book when it comes to formatting but it really isn't going to help you know, understand, and develop your craft if this in fact what you intend to do. Your best bet is to read as many screenplays as you can find. Unfortunately, most of what exists online are...

    screenplay What are typical lengths of successful screenplays?

    Unfortunately, it sounds like you don't have ENOUGH story and if I had to guess? This sounds like it's one of, if not your first screenplay so that further tells me that it's probably overwritten which means in reality? It's probably even shorter than you think. If you're trying to become a...

    UFO and Aliens

    I am by no means an expert... Really nothing more than an armchair fan or enthusiast although I have read quite extensively about the subject. From everything I've been able to gather in my rather miniscule lifespan... Experts [sic] seem to think that saucers have actually EVOLVED from...

    UFO and Aliens

    This is the closest picture I could find that looks like the one I saw hovering over the water... The lights around the middle of the craft are very similar but the craft I saw also had lights on the smaller, round section above the middle but this was the correct shape. All the UFOs myself and...

    UFO and Aliens

    I think threads like these are fun so let me jump in here... I'm from Northern California and not only have I seen a UFO in my own back yard (so to speak) but my brother and I saw a Bigfoot too. I come from a tiny town of less than 20 people called Strawberry Valley and a couple of miles behind...

    And? That's WHY the generation of TODAY want to be on reality TV, social influencers, YouTubers, etc. LOL. *NOTE: I appreciate the kind words... I really do. It can be difficult to KEEP IT TOGETHER. LOL.

    movies Halloween

    I hear ya... I really do. My mother and father were ex-cons. My dad did 9 years in Vacaville and San Quentin -- my mother -- a little over two years in Tehachapi. I only mention this to make note that I didn't grow up like most if not all the friends I had in school. I would be invited to their...

    movies Halloween

    I don't mind facetious replies at all... It's all good as long as we're not getting personal which is why I keep coming back to all us "regulars." LOL. Having said that... I never meant to imply that a serial killer is like the rest of us or even sane... Quite the opposite. THEY'RE INSANE...

    movies Halloween

    That's where I'll have to agree to disagree... There are plenty of intelligent and even cultured serial killers. They just haven't been caught. Plenty of people are killed every year by a serial killer but local and federal law enforcement just aren't up to the task (I'm putting that nicely) of...

    critique First page

    There's really no difference in formatting when it comes to shooting scripts vs. spec scripts or original adaptation of scripts from a book or some other material. It's what you LEAVE OUT when you write the original. The original is written to be READ, plain and simple. I know a lot of members...

    character Friendo

    I have the race kit in mine with an aftermarket pipe and filter... After a few months, about the best I could ever get out of it was just under 140. Probably 138 but there is definitely no power left to pop a wheelie at 138 but by GOD... It really does own the corners ONCE you actually LEARN how...

    character Friendo

    I ride one of the last Buell XB12R Firebolts made right before they extended the swingarm which I should add... Screwed that line of bike up in my humble opinion. I can't help but ride American... LOL. But I did have a chance to ride an MV Agusta F4CC and was VERY IMPRESSED.
