    Welcome, David. If you could ad a link to your website it would be helpful. Legal services are something that most of us use, and (at least in LA) it's difficult to find an attorney one feels comfortable with.

    What's the scariest thing you've found in a photo after taking it?

    1967-ish, a Cessna 150 and a DC-3 out of Van Nuys Airport had a mid air collision over Reseda (San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles). The DC-3 recovered but the Cessna augured in. I got to the crash site and wormed my way to the front of the line as a blood soaked stretcher with the obligatory "arm...

    The video was just to give an idea of how realistic the ejection process looked, not to recommend any specific model. And half the blank firing pistols in the catalog have live ejection, it's surprisingly easy (and cheap) to find one.

    news Sean Connery

    I read this today on his Wiki page... and I can visualize him saying this. Connery's first job was as a milkman in Edinburgh with St. Cuthbert's Co-operative Society. In 2009, Connery recalled a conversation in a taxi: When I took a taxi during a recent Edinburgh Film Festival, the driver was...

    So you're telling me that the toaster hears what I say... but my wife doesn't?

    movies What's the last film you watched? And rate it!

    "UP", because any time a Disney movie can make you cry, it's a special thing. Bambi never made me cry, it just always reminds me of how much I love barbecued backstrap. "Man has entered the forest... and is he HUNGRY!"

    Airsoft sells pistols with ejection, but they run around $200+. Rifles and pump action shotguns are easier to find at prop weapon suppliers. PLEASE PLEASE get a dedicated armorer or YOU do the job. Put a realistic prop gun anywhere near a mature adult and the 12 year old kid rises from the...

    Thanks for the link. I was having trouble getting on (no jokes, people!), but I'll try again later. (did my first comment chase someone away? hmmm)

    cast Finding Child Actor

    I'm 66 and I'm told I can pass for 12. Oh, wait... no, that's not quite right. My wife tells me that sometimes I ACT like I'm 12.

    series I'm watching Cobra Kai

    In martial arts, speed is an illusion. But the illusion of speed is what allows multiple unanswered techniques against an opponent. I studied both Okinawa-Te and Kuk Sool Won with an old Air Force Master Sergeant, and I knew that when Charles said "let me slow it down for you", is when I was...

    website A new tool for who?

    I would venture to say that a professional might find this website useful AS LONG as they can find a piece of music that fits their needs at a price that fits their budget. I listened to half a dozen clips and found myself adding an appropriate situation to the music... from a couple walking...

    character How do you write an ethnic character?

    Don't forget sports and television/music. If your character is from Dublin, he'll know who Mrs Brown and all of her boys are, and he probably has a t-shirt for the Moore Street Market. If he's from Tallaght, he supports the Shamrock Rollers Irish Football team, and would spit if you mentioned...

    copyright How can I protect my screenplay from theft?

    Pitches are a whole different story. Ideas aren't copyrightable, and EVERY STORY IMAGINABLE has already been done. Our job is to do the same thing, just differently (and better). Off the top of my head I can only thing of 2 cases where such theft was substantiated, and one (Downhill Racer...

    copyright How can I protect my screenplay from theft?

    I think it was William Goldman who said "If you can think it, 5 other people are already writing it". I've had two scripts in progress that a more suspicious person might have thought were stolen. The first was a feature, about 75 pages in, and loosely based on my Air Force career in South...
