    All these years and I never saw one of your posts. Very nice site with a lot of helpful little goodies, thanks for all the work.

    What are you drinking right NOW?!

    Vodka and cranberry juice, because 12 year Glenlivet didn't go with a Magnum ice cream bar (it fell apart when I dipped it). A little late on my part, but thank you for the kind words, Mlesemann. The wife's still not able to stand, but we have two therapists (physical & occupational) starting...

    directing Has anyone directed a music video?

    Welcome, Chris. I did a few back in the early 80's for Warner Records, and after 40 years I'm proud to admit that they were probably the biggest pieces of artistic shit since Flock Of Seagulls and the aluminum foil wrapped tripod on the turntable. A music video is all about telling a story in 3...

    Welcome, Duckie. If you brought KitKats, you can sit on the couch next to me. 😁 (American KitKats suck.)

    Has this happened to you?

    WOW! I can't get passed the symbolism in your dream, or the fact that it's screaming "ADULT ACTION COMIC BOOK" with Shark Man playing in a heavy metal band (and then maybe taking a big old bite out of Captain America's perfect ass). Maybe it's time you started that rock band, at least on paper.

    critique Opening to a road trip thriller

    Something very much like that happened about 25-30 years ago, a young woman had her doting boyfriend tie her to a signpost at some local Southern California beach, and shoot her with what he thought was a blank pistol... it wasn't. The only thing that kept him out of a 20 year vacation at...

    Has this happened to you?

    I never had cobra, but I've put worse things in my mouth. I flew on the equivalent of your Willy Victor, and we went through several SERE courses including POW Survival, Escape & Evasion, and I not only ate, but learned to appreciate rattlesnake, slugs, worms, cockroaches, and things that still...

    I'm an independent filmmaker

    Welcome to the group and welcome to LA. I was at the outside patio at Buzz Cafe on the corner of Sunset & Crescent Heights (it's now a Starbucks, across the street from The Comedy Store) with a friend who had just lost his writing partner. He stood up and yelled "I NEED A NEW WRITING PARTNER!"...

    Has this happened to you?

    I'm called back to active duty (USAF) and for some ungodly reason, flying the E-3A AWACS out of Stavanger AFB, Norway. And no matter what, I can't seem to complete my mission. I can't find my quarters to get suited for a mission, I'm wearing my 40 year old pea green flight suits (which I still...

    pre-production Cold Embrace of Death

    In Iceland we'd jump in the 33-34 degree ocean at Black's Beach (it's called a "Thule Doosh"), and in Alaska we'd swim in the Yukon River at ice breakup... alcohol was usually involved. I actually miss that.

    CovidTalk

    I was at COSTCO yesterday and Von's today. And the only shortage with ANYTHING (certain sizes of goods may not be available) was that nobody seems to be able to stock Jelly Belly's these days! Hamburger (ground/minced beef) is $5-6 a pound, but chicken is $1-1.50 per pound all day. Johnnie...

    CovidTalk

    Jax, I have absolutely no argument with that whatsoever... except that there is zero accountability and zero verification other than claimants making a pinkie promise that they're stay home. And the second wave wasn't so much people needing to work, it was 50,000 people claiming their civil...

    Jo Barker is a new Indie Talk member from Bristol, UK (I think she joined today). Why not give her a shout and see if you can help each other? You already both speak the same language.

    legal Copyright and lighting fixtures and projectors

    The image produced is copyrightable under certain circumstances (i.e. the Bat Signal is property of DC comics), but that doesn't mean that the specific lamp shade has ever been copyrighted. To me (and I'm not an attorney), the lampshades you're talking about are nothing more than intricate...

    Hallo

    "I hear "y'all" and I think "she sounds like me". :)" Welcome to IndieTalk, Jo. You live in a beautiful part of Britain. I was looking at farms in the Cotswolds about 20 years ago... a 300 year old converted barn on 20 acres (unscheduled) with crop marks and sheep! Come to think of it, I'm STILL...
