The Thoughts of a Curious Mind

To Film or not to Film?

2010-08-15T03:37:00.000-07:00

I wrote a short screenplay last year, got the actors together, then chickened out ?

I have several people saying I need to make that movie, but a part of me isn't so sure

It was the first thing I wrote after my Mom died - I was and am a Momma's boy, even after just over 3 years I still miss her - and that's what the script is about, a young man dealing with the loss of his Mother and his search for the Faith he was cherished and the God that he feels has left him alone.

I think it would be a very good movie, and I know I need to shoot it to help me deal with my own sence of loss.

I am still a devout Christian, nothing will change that - but it ain't easy, I'm still dealing with some loss of Faith on my part, even though God has never lost faith in me.

Films - Avatar

2010-01-31T03:41:00.000-08:00

Yes I did see Avatar - and I did like it very much. I usually dislike movies that use tons of computer effects, like King Kong - I liked it up until we first see Kong - I thought the rest was crap, so I went into Avatar thinking I wouldn't like it.

The effects where so damn good I forgot what I was watching wasn't real, I got to the point I preferred the fantasy over the real - which normally isn't me - but the effects looked so good I bought it hook, line and sinker.

work out

2010-01-31T03:17:00.000-08:00

For the first time in too many years I'm sticking with my work out program - lot's of stretching - working with weights and power walking on an incline.

It's only been a few weeks but I can feel an improvement, I'm able to shake my hips once again - I used to be a pretty good dancer - I could move my hips on the dance floor - as I did a few moments ago - except I was in my home office pretending like I was dancing with the woman I love to the Enrique song Bailamos - I was damn sexy :)-

The more I work out the better I feel and I want to do more, being a former athlete, I miss being able to do great things with my body.

I don't know if what I'm doing will impress the woman I love to love me in kind ? even if it doesn't - I like the way I'm feeling and I want to feel even better - so I'll keep going, and make the outside look as good as the inside.

It felt good to be able to dance again - and it's a great add on to my work out program - Spanish music is great for dancing, it makes you move them hips.

Later all

Be ready for the backlash -

2009-12-16T10:11:00.000-08:00

From everything I've seen and read the new movie "Avatar" is gonna be a Monster at the Box-office - and yes I too will see it opening weekend along with the rest of the world.

I'm sure I'm not the first to think this - or the first to write about it - but with no many major Directors wanting to make history and change the medium forever - there will be a huge backlash against these types of movies that use "Motion Capture" so the Director doesn't need to deal with Actors

This is just the start of things to come - and yes the Public will oooh and ahhhh for a time - then they'll want to see real actors once again - real buildings - real interaction between the Actors and the Audience.

I find real locations - I need real Actors to play off each other - maybe that's just me

No thought went into this Blog what-so-ever

2009-11-28T15:09:00.000-08:00

I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF "COMING-OF-AGE MOVIES" barf :(-

Let it be read into the record that Puberty SUCKS - and since it happens to all of us - men and women alike - there's not much that makes it special

I really don't care about someone making a movie about their tough time going through Puberty - IT'S HAPPENED TO US ALL DUMBASS - what makes you think that you're so special that anyone would give a crap - I had a tough time with Puberty also - but you will never see me writing a movie about it - I promise

I think I'll write a movie about my ability to take air into my body and expel methane - I'm sure I'm the only one it happens to - right ?

Later all

Why Her?

2009-11-26T13:08:00.000-08:00

For many many years I've done everything I could to hold back and hide any and all emotions - especially when it comes to falling in love :(- My heart has been eaten and beaten so many times it can be picked up with a tooth-pick.

I fall in lust quite easily - it helps a little to pine over someone even from a far and even if it's just lust - which I prefere - no emotions or feelings required.

I met a short - blonde haired, blue eyed skinny little thing more then a year ago - at first I thought she was very pretty - but over time I allowed myself to start to have - (yucky) feelings for her beyond just lust.

I had been asked by friends of her's if I was in Love with her - each time I said NO - I lied - for I have developed a very deep and strong love for her - yes you read right - I am in Love with Her - deeply, madly - to the point I've woken up calling her name at 2 in the morning.

Over the last 8 years I went from 195lbs. to around 250lbs. :( I hate it so much - more then you could know - for years I've started and stopped trying to lose the weight - but since I've allowed myself to admit that I am in Love with her - I've once again started on the tonage removal.

It's not just for her - I feel better and happier when I lose weight - I'm really not a big guy - I have a small frame and grew up with a runners body - that's what I was - I ran cross-country and played soccer for the first 18 years of my life.

So to be at 250lbs. on a body made for 195lbs. is almost like adding EEE breasts to a 4'9" 90lb. woman - I want and need to get back down to under 200lbs. - for myself and yes to also try and impress her.

Later all - stay safe and happy please - and be good humans

Way too many crappy Films out there

2009-11-12T11:35:00.000-08:00

I do like the idea of more people getting their hands on Camera's; but with that comes the people that should NEVER put their hands on a Camera ever again.

Right now I make only Short Films - I find 'em easy to write - and it usually only takes a few days for shooting. Even though I give myself up to 20min. per film - I get a lot of story told, beginning, middle and end.

I've been seeing a lot of short's out there that aren't really that good. I see very little originality - so many don't use their Imagination - they take other ideas and just rehash 'em :(

I have a new short written and I'm almost done with another - I hope to have both filmed by next Spring - wish me luck

Late to the Party

2009-10-24T00:14:00.000-07:00

As usual I'm getting to something that everyone else in the world is an old hat at - blogging

You would have thought that since I've been a writer of one form or another for 30+ years I would have been doing this since the beginning - better late then never

Do I write about Religion? - Politics? - the weather maybe?

For now I'll just concern myself with becoming deflowered as a blogger
