Hey gang. Here's the newbie. Brian Wickham. Thirty. Tyler, Texas. Carpentry pays the bills. I was hanging out on the PGL boards for a while, then I stopped hanging out on them for a longer while, then I went back to find them defunked. Oh well, PGL has disappointed me lately, anyway. So I did a search and found this place. Should I stick around? I just started working on screenplays again after a terrible experience slapped the screenwriting taste out of my mouth. I finally got over it and now the ideas are deluging, so I need someplace to go to be with people of my own kind. I hope this will be it. I hate shopping. Oh, you were talking about writers and directors... Favortie film makers: Michael Mann, Danny DeVito, and Luc Besson. I don't really have any favorite screenwriters, but my favorite writers are: Kurt Vonnegut, Vladimir Nabakov, Albert Camus, and William Faulkner. Somebody mentioned actors: Ed Harris, Gary Oldman. Actresses I won't comment on because as a guy I am too influenced by looks to be objective.
wow, not been in this thread forever. but pleased to see all the new folks dropping in. you guys should post in more visible areas. jump on in, the water's fine!
lots of international attention which is nice to see. welcome those inside and outside of the united states from me here in california!
rob - (macaco) elliott smith is really good. i like his music too. my fave director is also p.t.a., so good choice there.
who is the guy that digs josh hartnett? matt? hey, just gotta say that's my man so no you can't have him. lol. the others listed are cool too. where is gosford hill? is it near gosford park? if so, can you say hello to ryan phillippe for me? hehe.
wolfsfang, nice to kind of get to know you better, as i've seen you around but not really known much about you.
brian - i dig the screen name. five year zen. i wish, my friend. i too used to hang out more at pgl but things kind of got a little mad over there last season and i didn't post as much anymore. people were getting a little too...nutty. were you there from the start? back in the day i began as a reviewer when i first heard about it in oct of 2001. yes, this is a good place to hang. yes, i know all about the effects of screenwriting woes. i guess you just gotta get back on when you fall. shopping's not that bad.
wow. I've never been to this thread. Huh. Stephen. Stephen W. 14 going on 15, Atlanta, Georgia, Screenplays, Novels, Anime, and the X-Files are all fun stuff.
I'm also was amazed to hear on local FOX (advertisement!) news that David Carradine was in a local fild for the Atlanta Film Festival. I want to see that one. Kill Bill rules!!! (I tend to put that at the end of all my sentences.)
Yup. I'm here. I'm trying to do something good. Something fun. Something NOT crappy.
Yup. KILL BILL rules!!!!
THE END
The End of the World: Two Starbucks, right across from each other. You get your coffee, go out of one, look across the street and say "HOLY SH*T! There another one!!!" Its like your stuck in some alternate dimesion......
Kill Bill - interesting movie - watched for the first time last night on dvd (vol 1.).
I hate shopping, too. Love Vonnegut (Cat's Cradle!). Had the screenwriting fun slapped out ofmy mouth too many times to count. (I still do it, go figure).
Koepp and Goyer rule! (Among others).
Welcome all. Hope you find this dorkey website of use.
Anyway, I haven't really gone into much detail about myself on this board and as I am like a B-movie (it's been there for ages but no one notices it) on the board thought I'd say hi. My name is Harry James Deckard and I live in Norfolk, England. Screenwriting has been my hobby for about three years now and I've had a few brushes with companies over my scripts but nothing really significant.
My favourite directors are probably Lucio Fulci, George A. Romero, Sergio Leone and Don Spiegel. My idol is Clint Eastwood and I would like to gain the respect in the movie world that he has (maybe my sights are set a bit high). When I finish writing my "dream script" which will probably be a low-budget Zombie flick I'm going to just launch into onto the world. It'll all probably fall through in the end, but hey, can't a guy dream? Anyway now I've opened up and embraced the website I'm gonna slink back into the darkest corners of the site and "see what happens next"
A smiley world is a happy world.
"We don't make movies for critics, since they don't pay to see them anyhow."
Hello all. I've contemplated on whether I should post here but I find most people on the site intriguing and involved with scriptwriting. And since I am relatively new to screenwriting this discussion board has been, to say the least, interesting informative.
On that note, I am a 30 year old biology student in Southern California. Like most people here I'm not originally from here. I spent 8 years in the military, just recently got out due, in part, to the fact that they sent me to this farce they call a "war". That really opened my eyes to the frail and fragile reality of the world in which most of us find our selves. So I've dedicated myself to a full on Altruistic lifestyle. My fellow humans are my only servant. I got into screenwriting because I wanted a way to express myself "artistically" and because I love movies...
I wish I could devote a majority of my time to my recently written script but find my time is limited and like most novice writers I'm not sure how to(or if I really have the stamina) rewrite my script, Shades Within. I learned how to srite screenpalys by reading alot of books on screenwriting and reading produced scripts. I've had Velera review my script and the critique was eye opening and informative, yet a little discouraging. So if anyone would like to give me some feedback on it I would be indebted. I have many years experience in military matters and medicine if anyone needs information or technical answers to these things I would be more than happy to oblige and I'm familiar with most scientific matters(especially physics/metaphysics).
Oh, my favorite movies are: Basketball Diaries, Memento and City of God...
Going through bios it's suprising to see so many writers from the other side of the pond...I just read your bio Don and I think it amazing the influence one person can have on so many people (especially from such a diverse group). For all you French speakers...my Father-in-law was a (relatively) famouse French actor(William Kearns) in the 70's and 80's. Some of his more famous movies were "Plein Solel" (Purple Noon) which was the original version of "The Talented Mr. Ripley". He played Freddy, the guy Ripley kills in the apartment...He was also Bill Balentine in the long running 80's french TV series, "The Adventures of Bob Morane"...He played many smaller roles (Patton) in American films...being from Oklahoma this has been my closes "brush" with someone famous...
