@indietalk, after reading your post, I came up with the scene below. It seems to be heading towards camp, though I have no idea what comes up next. In terms of my other plot lines, I re-read something from 2019, and I still like it.

Everyone, I'll be heading to NYC around October 14 - 20, 2024, to the Comic Con and also to make contacts with the legal community. If anyone is in the vicinity and would like to meet up, please send me a direct message, thanks. And we can talk about anything, including filming.

Rik, Why don't you read his postings, to get a sense of where he's coming from.

@The Lone Banana, so what about a film about people talking about an interstellar war?

@directorik, as for the star map, I have done that, but I think in terms of books and other forms of paper, not maps, especially 3-dimensional ones. And I know that people who often do research in isolation can take things out of context and become crackpots, so I will need feedback from those...

@directorik, when I tried to be a novelist, I did do that, and, though a major publisher in NYC liked my work, I nearly but never quite made the cut. I then put my dream on the side and went back to law. When we met, you said to focus my story on the characters, which, after doing some research...

Admin, whenever I think of this story line, I keep going back to a Green Lantern story of the 1970's, about a story of medieval-like warriors, in a magical part of the world, going to war with soldiers in a scientifically-based part of the world. The DC comics universe at that time had an...

Thanks everyone. I thought as much. I was asking because I've been doing quite a bit of writing, and part of the fun in the sci-fi genre is world building. IOW, we have to get into the minutiae of the universe that the story takes place in. One topic would be the nature of the vessels - in...

Back again, everyone, Anyway, the late science fiction legend, Robert Heinlein, said Those may not be his exact words, but they sum up what he did say. Can this paragraph be turned into a screenplay? I'm not taking about people talking; I'm talking about this paragraph being the script. I...

Nate, Thanks for the info, and I will need some time to absorb what you said. I can afford thousands, but not millions. With the democratization of the internet, the streaming services except Netflix have been losing money, and traditional shows like Late Night are going downhill, so Youtube...

Nate, I saw this video, which is part of a series compiling canonical bits of Star Trek with his sfx, and I thought that it was cool. For reasons that I will explain later, I may want to do a series of low-budget Youtube videos, which, statistically speaking may be better than expensive movies...

An idea going through my mind is not being in King Arthur's court but rather at the time of King John, when he had to deal with Robin Hood. I am thinking of a scene at law school, where the professor teaches his class that the common law began just before the time of King John, after the...

Nate, this is awesome. Can you please advise as to how much you would charge and how you charge - by hour, by pixel, what? I'm askig because I don't know.

@CelticRambler and @sfoster, you're right. Perhaps he would go in a vehicle. Larry Niven, the noted science fiction author, wrote a similar story where a human goes to a primitive planet on a spaceship, and, to cut a long story short, he's stuck there and gets into adventures where he has to get...

My problem is that anyone being out of time may be killed for being an outsider - and, in some parts of the world, even in the early 20th Century, eaten. I think that if the time traveller had some gizmos, like a laptop, flashlight, and so on, he would come across as a magician, so they would...

"No Luke, I am your father." RIP, sir - you were one of the greats.

@mlesemann, I didn't know if the phrase, "fish out of water" in film, though I do know of how it's used generally. One example would be the "Back to the Future" series, but I am thinking that the NY lawyer would be educating everyone in the law, which would become the common law. I don't know if...

I will remember him best as Vic Fontaine on Star Trek: DS9.

I'm going to borrow the classic novel from the library, but, if I was to write the story out, it should be a NY lawyer at around the time of King John - this was after the Battle of Hastings, when the Normans took over England, which would be the start of the English common-law system, which...

I'm working on various story lines, but this would be a great plotline to add to all those others. This can also be a satire along the lines of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" or "Life of Brian". Now, if I can finish one of these plotlines, but that will be a thread for another day...
