Okay, it’s always fun to see a script featuring scripters but I’m afraid this one just really didn’t do much for me. It’s very stream-of-consciousness as though the author had a dream about Pia or something. The way I see it, there are two main problems:
1) It doesn’t stream very smoothly. It’s very choppy. For example; it’s mentioned that Pia is a stunt woman for what reason? This skill is never used. That’s just one example of information given for no apparent reason.
Even that would be forgivable were it not for,
2) It’s not very funny. I’m sure it’s supposed to be. The one shining moment was George’s line about writing “War and Peace” in Sanskrit. Pia’s profanity was actually pretty good except that, with no apparent direction to the story, it seemed wasted.
In the end, it really only had the inherent cuteness of being another SS script and a couple of strong points that were let down by the story. Its strengths just weren’t enough to carry it with such a choppy and directionless story.
Take care, mon ami when you readding my pearls, otherwise you get sick of you mind, you know.
About Brazilian grasses, yeah it is better than the Colombian, and when we cut them and burned them, the wind blows the smoke through up the Andes and crosses all the Pacific arriving in North Corea!
I thought the description of me on the tombstone was hilarious as you got the date of birth wrong, it should read 1959 and not 1954 - you silly sausage!!!
I don't know how Pia reacted to your description of her stripping but at least you left her knickers on - ouch! You said it not me!
And for those still not familiar with Helio's genius I'll attempt to break down his masterpiece here.
Pia is a longtime admirer of George as a scriptwriter as portrayed by the reference to his character writing War and Peace and in another language at that. Something which is obviously very impressive. Although Pia writes scripts herself what she really wants to do is make films herself and she will do it too.
Kevan is an ex-friend of Pia referenced by being dead, in her eyes anyways and this is shown as a metaphor with the tombstone. Hey, I'm dead from the neck down, what can I say?
Pia stumbles onto a filmset, the making of a horror film, the director is Quentin Tarantino no less. Horror films are Pia's favorite genre. Quentin Tarantino used to work in a video store selling crappy horror flicks before he became a big shot in Hollywood land.
Unbeknown to Pia she actually gets to make a movie, she is eventually in her own horror movie without realizing this. At the end of the movie Pia prepares to take a bath, the milk pouring out the forcet is the precursor of her demise the conclusions of this is left to our own imagination, no doubt the aliens get her!
If you don't consider this a horror then Helio has written a series of motifs within his screenplay to illustrate this and here they are:-
#1 The Sky Become Darker
#2 Thunders rumble loudly far away.
#3 A forbearer of what's to come, the man with the snake.
#4 The humming sound.
#5 Cemetery.
#6 Intense light behind the trees.
#7 The frightening words of MILKEE, MILKEE, MILKEE...
#8 Skeleton hand which Pia treads on crushing the bones. (ouch it's mine!)
#9 Head stone (Mine - shit! - This must be an in-joke!)
#10 Homage to Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff mentioned. (reference to Silent Horror films)
##11 Pia tries to get near the light (reference to Poltergeist)
#12 Amusing image of Cows being led into Spaceship with a picture of Jane Mansfield on the walls of the spaceship - note: Jane Mansfield had big tits!
#13 Pia attempting to switch the bedroom light on but it doesn't come on.
#14 The milk coming from the bath forcets or taps.
If you didn't get all this from Helio's script then shame on you.
Great script Helio. The best one in this Milk Competition yet!
Kevan, I have to express how thoroughly impressed I am at what you pulled from this script. You turned Helio from the nut he really is into an underrrated genius. Reading this I completely understand the imagery which feels so random unless you "get" it. Impressive.
For those still not familiar with Helio's genius I'll attempt to break down his masterpiece here.
Helio is indeed a bit of a genius in his writing. He's scripts should never be just scanned over. One has to take the time and think, try to look for the meaning of each little thing. It's a shame he's not more fluent in English. Luckily there are some people that will give him a hand with this sometimes.
Horror films are Pia's favorite genre. Quentin Tarantino used to work in a video store selling crappy horror flicks before he became a big shot in Hollywood land.
True again! Amazing how you seem to know all this. Did you also know that QT is my favorite director/writer?
