Just some Problems!!!

So I have started a new screenplay, a script, which I am really excited about, but then again I was really excited about all the other scripts I have started and not finished. It totally sucks to have an idea, however unformed it was, a good idea, and when you try to communicate it in writing, the coolness kinda fizzles away. So that makes me wonder whether the idea was good enough before I started writing it down, or wether I am just bad at writing screenplays. I hope its neither, but I am not sure.

So I would describe the script i am working on but I don't want to do it here, and have someone read my blog, and steal my idea, because that would suck. So I will keep my concept carefully sealed away till I have finished more, registered it with a WGA number and talked to my lawyer. And then I will, unleash my awesome concept on the world!!! I will finish this one, I have to, and I want to make something else short so I can enter a few festivals, because I am still a no one, and you have to be someone to make it this industry!! Anyhoo, I am going to enjoy my Thursday night, write some emails, and figure out my script!! I hope you have a good thursday night too!! Byes

A Saturday Morning, ritual, reviewing!!

Happy Saturday,

I am not sure why these days, there are no more original ideas when it comes to making movies. Old movies keep being re-made, and I am confused where all the creativity has gone. especially in horror movies, I mean when does, having the same basic structure in every horror movie finally get old!! We had Paranormal Activity, come out, and every body flipped a shit, saying how scared they were, when in fact the movie basically alienates anyone in the population, that hasn't had a mysterious demon who has been following them since when they 8. Which I would probably say is about 95% of the population, and I am probably being a bit generous!! I mean wow, if people can get freaked out by a bunch of closing doors, loud noises, swinging chandeliers, and bird feet (where honestly, it looked like an invisible Big Bird, thought he would by and visit.) AHHHHHH i am so scared. LOL, and I mean I was in the trailer for the freakin thing, yeah I was one of the special few who got to see it early, I am so glad I saw it for FREE!! WOw, I weep for the future of horror if shit like this gets people scared! I was well made, I will give them that, the premise could have been really scary, but the story plot, just killed it!! Anyhoo, I am glad it beat Saw, I mean 6 of those really!! Geeze, I am really excited about Pirate Radio, it seems to be a lot of fun, and I will be seeing it tomorrow. And the Men Who Stare at Goats, although I have gotten some mixed reviews about it! Well I hope this has proved to be enlightening to some people, hopefully those people who haven't seen it yet, won't see it, but if you have people asking you to go, I would say, you should respectfully decline!!

Stay cool,

-Lindsay
