I'm doing more writing, on the bits and pieces of my storylines, and I'm enjoying myself. As for this satire on King Arthur, @mlesemann , I think you have a point, as in it can be adapted from "A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court". I haven't read Mark Twain's classic, but I know the story...

Meanwhile, Morgana LeFay, the black sorceress in the legend, was a white witch involved in healing spells, but she got sued for medical malpractice, so she's turned to the dark arts to get back at the College of Magicians, who yanked her practice status. I have been practising law too long.

Please keep us posted about your progress, and I would be very interested in seeing your team's writing.

Thanks, @mlesemann. The last bit, for now, o this plotline is that the Lady of the Lake will be suing the Celtic gods, because she's been holding the sword for centuries, waiting for the right person, namely, King Arthur, and she never got paid. And, since she's a woman, she will also be adding...

Mara, I'm doing some writing today, on my Arthurian legend, and, while not part of my story, here's a plot from what we discussed. The Lady of the Lake is not getting child support, and she's also not getting occupancy rent for keeping the Excalibur - she's really getting a raw deal. King...

@mlesemann, agreed on all points, but ...... look at his photo - his suit and hairstyle seems dated, and my mention of "archaic" was the idea of thinking of TV in terms of daytime or prime time or whatever. TV will be around in some manner, but not in the 1970's and 1980's sense. As for...

He was an iconic talk show host in the 1970's and 1980's, but the current generation don't know who he is, and, looking at the photo, the dress, and the idea of network TV, seems so archaic.

He's talking of the democratization of the internet, where Youtube and other social media platforms are eating into the market and, therefore, revenues of streaming shows. But he doesn't talk of internet celebrities like Lilly Singh who became famous because of Youtube and would eventually get...

Hello everyone, I will be attending an inaugural lecture at my alma mater, the Johns Hopkins University, in the nations capital from September 18 - 21,2024. Would anyone like to see me in person? If so, I can treat for lunch or dinner, and we can ...... talk about filming.

Welcome! Are you in film school? Please tell us more about yourself.

Good work! Unlike some of us, who just talk about filming, you actually did it. I'm not an expert, but perhaps the others in this forum can give you feedback, and perhaps you may be inspired to try again.

At this stage, I would rather be a novelist than a script writer, because, as a novelist, I can get into the characters' feelings. Consider this scene from "The Empire Strikes Back", after Darth Vader beat Luke Skywalker. >>>>>> Darth Vader: Obi-wan never told you what happened to your father...

Thanks sfoster - as before, I feel better just from this. Of course, instead of writing a book perhaps we should talk about writing? :D

Hmmm ...... Now I see why we get along so well, and why you want to make movies with me. Your responses remind me of ...... 1) Gomer Pyle and his sargeant; 2) Inspector Clouseau and his Chief; 3) Abbott and Costello on who's on first. You get the idea. One of my favourite scenes in Patton is...

Hello, I have written another scene about the Arthurian legend. As of now, my passion is writing as a novelist, as opposed to script writing. I will be writing out some scenes, but, since they don't discuss what the characters are feeling, and their POV, it's not as rewarding to me...

I've been talking about this for 15 years, so I'm glad I got some results.

You said that in January 2023, and you just said it. You're like me in that regard - always talking about doing something (ie bowing out) but not doing it. :evil:

Thanks, sfoster - you don't know how good that made me feel. @Screenrighter, you're right - George Lucas' hero's journey will not be my journey. But his success was the inspiration for me to get into film. Celtic, you're more right than you realize. My firm is increasingly running on...

The war is over? Who won? OK, I understand a movie may not cost $2 million. But look at it this way - consider all the attention I've garnered, my video may actually go viral. :evil:

"(Y)out do you" what? OK, two people talking will cost almost $2 million. That may be outside my range. May I get a basic idea of why it would cost so much? I'm asking because, as you said, I don't know and I have no experience.
