I just saw bits and pieces of the documentary, "Empire off Dreams: The Story of the Star Wars Trilogy", which I first saw at the turn of the millennium. At the same time, I came across the Readers' Digest version of the Forbes magazine article, "The Magician". I kept watching that documentary...

Thank you, @indietalk and @mlesemann. At the CLE's, I said I was a fan of DC comics, and I was wondering if I could do write a novel or a comic about my take on their characters, based on the DC canon (official story line) that fans love so much. They said that, if it was just a copy that...

It was great. I love Manhattan, and I would like to live there. The Comic con was great, and I made contacts among the artists and writers. Just as importantly, I attended the law conferences held by lawyers who practice the law relating to comic books. I will be going to the AFM in Las Vegas...

That's quite an ignore list - @directorik, see what I mean?

Here's another bit, inspired by your encouragement. This borders on satire, if it's not actually satire. Aside from fighting for control of the holidays, I have no idea why they would go to war against each other. Hey, the current conflicts are senseless, so I'm not alone in being bewildered.

Film a scene with two or more people talking - the regulars will tell you this is my favourite idea.

It all depends on their personalities.

@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...
