Since there isnt a thread like this, and we dont know eachothers specifics, I thought Id take the liberty of asking.  I basically only post in "I wrote a script" so i dont really care about people outside this forum, hence why i didnt make this in gen chat or elsewhere.  So whats your name, age, gender, location, and highest level of education completed? Or major in college if you went/go.  What kind of music do you listen to? Name bands, because if you say punk, and you mean avril lafuck, that isnt my deffinition. Whats your favorite writer or director? What are your hobbies other than writing?

My name is Luke, I am 21 yrs old, almost 22.  I am obviously male, and I live in Orlando Florida.  I am a Digital Media major at University of Central Florida, and am on the 7 year plan, which means Ive gone to UCF since I was 18 yrs old, but took years off here and there due to finances.  I listen to mainly metal, punk, hardcore and classic rock.  I like bands like metallica, slayer, iron maiden, children of bodom, zeppelin, the velvet underground, the stooges, the misfits, danzig, ect.  Ive played guitar for 10 years and play in various bands in the orlando area.  I also surf and skateboard.  My favorite writer is Elmore Leonard, and my favorite director is Quentin Tarantino.


now you know me a little better.  Whats your story, sucka?

You sound like a cool dude.

I'm 15, live in New York. I listen to basically just classic rock, alternative rock, some metal, and other types I guess. I just like alot of bands. A big range between bands. I go from Zeppelin to Metallica to The Strokes to Linkin Park to Alice in Chains to The Beatles. You catch my drift. I'd say that right now, my favorite bands are The Offspring (old stuff mostly), Incubus, and Finger Eleven (a great band that most americans have not heard of unfortunately). Favorite Movie: Pulp Fiction, Memento, or some thing else. It's hard to decide. Favorite screenwriter: Tarantino. Favorite director: Scorcese. I can't think of anything else to say right now.

I live in North Carolina, I love to write scripts, and act. You should read my campous killer series in the horror section and tell what you think. I have done a movie back in Feburary, and I'm going to audition for a film called SALT, a horror movie. You sound pretty cool. Please tell me what you thik of my scripts. Im writting 5 scripts right now. I got a Campous Killer 4, Freddy Vs. Jason Part 2, How To Die, Camp Dead: Part 3, and The Woods. How to die is a cannibal kind of script. Let me know of anything.

Thanks
Casey

My names Steven although I tell people it's Wesley, I am 18 turning 19 on the 27th of this month.
I'm from Ontario Canada I finishes high school last february and haven't really thought about college because I dont have the money, I enjoy all kinds of music from Nirvana and Alice iN Chains to Green Day and Rancid to Korn and Slipknot, i'll basically listen to anything once accept dance techno country and whatever Justin Timberlake is.

My favorite Writer/Director is M Night Shyamalan if thats a correct spelling because he writes these great films that just make you think and keep you interested, of course I would've wanted a directors commentary on one of the three films I have seen but what can I do, I'm anticipating his next release The Village and hobbies other than writing Is I play video games alot, I am obsessed with the NHL and Mario lemieux (Not 12 year old girl and Good Charlotte obsessed) I like to waste alot of money on dvd's and cd's and my collection of both has went up high

Hi there. My name is Matt, I am 17 years old and I'll be 18 February 7. I completed highschool and I'm thinking about college. I live in Breezewood, Maryland aka Western Maryland. I like to listen to anything by Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie. I also like Disturbed and Garbage. I like that techno music because I think it's good to use at parties when I write a movie. My favorite writer/director is Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson. They have brilliant ideas and they know what they are doing.

My name is Robert and I am 16 years old and live in Columbus, OH. I am currently in the 11th grade, but could possibly graduate a year early if I get good enough grades. I have a very broad taste in music ranging from The Dixie Chicks to Metallica (I know thats werid). My faviorite bands are proably System of a Down, Staind and The White Stripes, but like I said, I have faviorites in lots of different genres. My fav. movies of all time are "Jaws", "Pulp Fiction" & "Halloween". It is so hard for me to pick a faviorite director because I admire so many but id say my faviorites are Speilberg, Fincher & Paul Thomas Anderson. My faviorite screenwriters are Smith, Tarantino & Shymalayn, all who write great scripts, but to me arnt that great directors (Tarantino's only great film to me is Pulp Fiction, Resivoir Dogs, while having a very good script, wasnt executed very well in my eyes. Hopefully Kill Bill will rule all) Other then that I really cant think of much else to say other then that I have been a huge movie buff all my life and hope to be a writer/director someday, even though that is an unrealistic goal.

Hi. My name is Tyrice. I'm a 19 year old male, I live in Delaware, and contrary to what my screen name would have you believe, I am neither fat, nor a sandwich. I listen to a lot of music. Rage Against the Machine, AFI, Blackalicious, STUN, System of a Down, Hot Hot Heat, Cody Chestnutt... Hendrix, The Doors, man I could go on forever. I like everything. I graduated from high school a couple years ago so I'm just working while I decide what I'm gonna do. My plans are to go to school this winter, but I change my mind a lot, so who knows.

Oddly enough, I'm not really big into movies. I can't name any screenwriters that have influenced me because none have. I don't watch many movies and the only reading I ever do is old literature type stuff (I'm working on David Copperfield right now). But if I had to name an influence, it would be a show... and that show would be The Simpsons. I don't even know who writes for them, though, cause I'm an idiot.

But everything I do - reading, listening to music, watching a movie from time to time, working, going to school, eating, bathing - is all just a diversion... something to help me get over writer's block. As soon as an idea hits me, I'm right back here in front of my computer (or squinting at my PDA. heh).

I have a couple shorts on here that took me like a day to write, but I'm currently taking my time and working on a full length screenplay that is going to literally blow you away. It'll be like... BOOM! And you'll be gone. Ok, maybe not. But look for it soon, anyway.


bottle r0ckit: you know...
bottle r0ckit: i just don't get it
bottle r0ckit: zombies. people alive. people try to stay alive by shooting zombies in the head. some of said "people" get infected. people have to shoot own friends, sometimes hesistate. fewer people are left to fight off zombies. the rest of the movie goes either two ways. they live, or they die. credits roll.
bottle r0ckit: what drives people to write this stuff...

Hi

My name is Shashi. I am from India. I am Web Designer for last 5 years and good movies have always attracted me. I have written quite number of poems and presently writing a movie script, finished more than half now. I will host it once it is complete and hope you will like it. Out the few movies i have seen I liked Shawshank Redemption, As God as it Gets.
Somehow I didn't like Pulp Fiction that much except for its dialogue & style of presenting, Well that is debatable but that is what I felt about it.

ALL ABOUT MAX!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


JUNE 2003

In the beginning God created a writer and....

Okay, where do we begin?  First off, my real name is Jonathan E. Kiser, Max is my pseudonym pointing to how far I want to go with my writing TO THE MAX!  Aside from that it is a COOL name.  I am 37 years old.  I was born in Lubbock, Texas.  I presently live in Arlington, Texas.  I am both a martial arts/self-defense trainer and a writer.  I have been involved in martial arts for over 25 years.  See my martial arts stuff at http://groups.msn.com/kiserwingchunalliance and at http://groups.msn.com/personaldefensesolutions .  I also showcase my writings at Writing.com see http://www.writing.com/main/view_item.php?user_id=maxkiser .

 

I am also former active US Army, Field Artilleryman.  Currently I volunteer my time to the US National Guard in Dallas, TX.  I am a FIST specialist (Fire Support Team) for 4/133rd Field Artllery.

..and his hand began to cramp...

I began writing at an early age.  When I was 7 years old I wrote my first story about a space traveler and his funny adventures.  It was called "TAURU: SPACE WARRIOR".  I used this character in many ways to expand my imagination and write about things that I thought were wrong.  Unfortunately, I no longer have those wonderful little stories in my possession because they were lost on my numerous moves as a child.  Perhaps, I will attempt to rewrite these stories for children in the future.  Nonetheless, I wrote for my school newspaper as a reporter, perhaps this is why I like for some of my main characters to be Investigative Reporters?  I have taken some college, mostly while I was in the Army.  However, I am self-educated.  I do an enormous amount of research in the field of writing.  I read about anything, even cereal boxes.  So, one day back in 1999 I was wondering what I would do with my future.  I am very advanced in martial arts, however many people just don't care to learn these conceptually amazing systems that I have learned.  So, I believe my future is elsewhere (or at least involves something else).  I decided that writing was the other true interest.  So, I logged into Writing.com and the rest is history?

...and the writer thought, "Wow!  This stuff is a lotta work."

I have to this day written several works.  However, I am constantly polishing them in hopes that I will one day get them to a high enough quality to present to publishers and/or movie companies.  So, please enjoy my writings and if not please tell me why.

Overall, I write for my reader's happiness.  This in turn makes me a happy person.  I believe in constant improvement and commit to become the best writer I can be with the time that I have using the money and resources that I have available. 



And the writer found some readers.  The rest is history. 



from the mind of MAX KISER.

Hi,
I'm new here, my name is Cindy as you can see, and it looks like I am like the OLDEST person here. Ladies shouldn't tell their age WHEN THEY ARE OLD, but what the hay... I'm 46, I've got three beautiful daughters and three wonderful grandchildren who are beautiful, too.
I live in the metro Detroit area with my boyfriend of 4 years and daughter. He (my boyfriend) plays guitar and writes his own music.
I am a published poet, and I have a song that Paramount in Nashville are supposed to be managing, no word yet. It's title is "Wounded Angel". 
as for music, I like The Stones, Coldplay, ICP, White Stripes, ect.
As for movies, I like horror, thrillers, and comedies. Anything, except a tear jerker. You'll never see me cry...
I am hoping to learn how to improve my writing from all you young'ens who are willing to help, and I will try to do the same; but you have to bear with me if I act ignorant, because this is all pretty new to me. I feel that writing screenplays is very exciting, and I love to write.
Cindy

Wow how long have I been here and I didn't know anything about any of you!  Good going, Luke, is it?  So weird to say, so I'm going to stick with Eskay.  As it stands now, I'm sitting here waiting to get back on the Final Cut Pro machine here at school so I shall write my little bio.

My name is Lesley, I'm 24, female and I go to the Art Institute of L.A. I major in video production.  I want to become a screenwriter and I've been actively writing on and off since I was maybe ten or eleven years old, maybe longer than that, I can't remember.  I live near Los Angeles.  I want to get out of here as soon as possible.  Don't let people fool you:  you can live outside of California and still make a living in Hollywood.  It's not all it's cracked up to be.  I love hanging out here because I've met a lot of great people and I enjoy interacting with people as excited as I am about movies.

Music?  I like a lot of electronic.  Current obsession:  "Lost in Translation" soundtrack.  I like Coldplay and Radiohead, a lot of smaller bands that don't get as much publicity.  I'm tired of regular radio because it's all sounding the same.  So I listen to NPR.  I didn't like him previously, but John Mayer has kind of grown on me.

I'm starting to believe we didn't really go to the moon.  I've got this weird obsession with clean ears.  I'm sure there's other quirky stuff to know about me, but I can't think of it right now.  So there you go.

I LOVE THE DIVERSITY HERE!  IT'S SOOO GREAT!!!!  


true love waits... i guess.

Heloo people

Well here goes my stint on this little chat.

My name's Tommy and i live in the middle of sunny England.  i'm 27 years old and i'm skiving off work as i type this.

Trying to just be a good/better writer which i've been trying to do for the last 2 years now.  I love any type of movie especially a good horror or action flick but get bored from time of all the brain deadness that goes with those genres.  Favorite movie makers are Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, Wes Craven, Old John Carpenter people like that.  Favorite movie is Quadrophenia.  Gonna go out to see Kill Bill tonight - can't wait, really exicited 80)

Music tastes are fairly rock based, favorite bands at the minute are The Darkness (they rock better than anybody) and Jet.  All time favorites are Oasis, Radiohead, Coldplay, The Stone Roses, The Charlatans.  But i've had my stint of dance based nights out, you know the sort of things loads of people in small room listening to repetitive beats and then back some bodies house for more of the same till the sun comes up.

Gotta admit i think buying a pad of paper and a pen was one of the best moves i've ever made as i love to write (except when i'm having a bad day), looking back now i wish i'd have started it long time ago but he ho at least i've here!

So, I'm. . . do you want to know, or do you prefer to call me freak? I like freak, myself. I'm 16, live in a no name town with less than 250 people in it. I write mostly horror. I have written a twelve part, two movie series called Spoof Trek (which has a fan base, if you can believe it). I watch too many horror movies, play too many videogames, and am a bloody genius (my marks will show it). I have two friends, who are like me, sans writing.

I like anything rock, loud and obnoxious as my friend puts it. I never write without music. Favorite directors? Quentin Tarrantino, Robert Rodriquez, George Romero, Wes Craven, Lucio Fulci.

I'm hoping one day to make a zombie movie.
