So you're coming to my way of thinking. In other words, even if I film a table read, I'm not wasting my time. And I did say that I was going to do the table read, then do the rehearsals to make the short movie.

This would be a more fitting video for @directorik and me. I've been wanting to do a video about the loop between us. What sticks in my mind about the two of us is our first meeting, when we had breakfast - I asked if he would be willing to take part in my film project, and he said, "You bet!"...

There you go - we have done some filming. Why can you - and everyone else - pull bits and pieces from Youtube or even use emojis, but I can't film simple scenes without being accused of wasting my time ...... after being told repeatedly to film something, anything. Is there a double standard...

Please refer to me as "Counsel", not "Counselor" - the former is the term for a lawyer, and the latter is the term for someone trained in psychology, typically with a masters, who helps those with mental problems. In any case, since the board has been engaged in talking, three battle fleets...

@directorik, not quite April. You may know of the ST: TNG episode, "Cause and Effect", where the ship was caught in a time loop. They got out of the loop when Data realized, in the second-last iteration, what was going on and send a message to himself in the next iteration, so he could take...

So you were in a loop over watching a movie about a loop? Then you'll never get out of my loop.

Have either of you ever watched the movie, "Groundhog Day"? 😁

First, I'm told to film anything, even if it's horrible; then I'm told that filming what I want to film would be a waste of time. So I'm not the only one contributing to the loop. OK, since I don't want to waste my time, I will have to think about it and get back to you in a couple of months or...

He did suggest it, but we've been talking about it. 😃

The plan is to film the table read, then the rehearsal, then do the film(s). He also told me what he learned in film school - if you have a script for a $10 million movie, but you only have $2 million, then do the $2 million movie. We discussed it further, and he suggested to turn the scripts...

@directorik, MASH is a great example. As for the Sarah Connor Chronicles, well, Summer Glau was the star, so what would you expect? 😄

Shall we talk about it? 😄 I spoke to my mentor, who is interested and will get involved. He still suggests LA, and he has asked for the drafts, being OK with simple table reads and rehearsals as my starting point. Our face-to-face meeting did wonders for me, as opposed to ...... never mind.

@directorik, I understand there're wild fires in LA - please stay safe.

@indietalk, he has emailed me back, asking for specifics.

@indietalk, the humor is certainly a welcome change of today's tone - I was beginning to think I wasn't welcome here. Anyway, I have emailed a request to @directorik, and I await his response with breathless anticipation.

@indietalk, our captions would still be the same - has anything changed in the last bit, never mind 15 years?

I think it's a question of definition - perhaps what I think of "respect" is what you think of "tolerance".

I don't have to earn your respect; in this day and age, I'm entitled to it, because there are lines people better not cross. But think as you see fit. Perhaps I should sit back, wait another 15 years, and see what happens - are you tempting me?

One other thing. The famous philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, said I have learned NOT to laugh at others, no matter how idiotic they may sound; I take all in information with a limited skepticism. and I make my decision as to what is true or not true. Perhaps you should do the same - that is...

@directorik, I sent you an email and suggested we talk. Let's break the project into small pieces - I would like 3 actors for the day, who can read scripts from at least two different stories; I will also need a professional camera man. That's the first step. If I come to LA on February, can...
