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...

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...
