Open on GAMER, 5’11 white guy, handsome, well-built, walking down a rain soaked boulevard. Black and white film, a forlorn cello croons it’s hopeless 12-tone. FLASH CUT, he is at his computer, typing something about KANT.
DISSOLVE to GAMER, strolling down a rain soaked alley, a forlorn cello croons it’s hopeless 12-tone. Cut to wide angle shot. Fade to black. Open on GAMER typing on his computer…something about Spinoza. Dissolve to GAMER walking down rain soaked street. Fade to WHITE this time. Flash cut to odd angle shot of GAMER at his computer, typing something about Kant again…
Dissolve to DUNAMIS, at his desk, pocket protector firmly in place. A lively french horn croons a spritely alietory hymn. Dissolve to DUNAMIS at the vending machine. He chooses F6…close up on the number pad. Something called a Shamrock Cookie. Tight shot of Little Debbie’s logo. Fade to GREEN. Dissolve to DUNAMIS typing at his computer…something about Godel. A lively french horn perpetrates a confidently atonal jig. Jump zoom to green crumbs on cheek.
Fade up title “THE ILP MOVIE”
Too late kiddo. S’already been greenlighted. Their exact words were something like MAKE IT HAPPEN, or BUST IT OUT. The fat one in the Dolce and Gabbana suit said TAKE IT TO THE STREET! Clearly there’s no turning back now. Besides all characters are completely fictional. Any similarities are a coincidence. (For instance, I am quite well built. Coincidence.)
I am using my 1000th post to say that this thread has potential.
Gamer I believe that you have stated in the past that you are a professional writer (unless I misread something) so don’t take this as me telling you your business, but add a bigger cast, develop a plot and run with it… this thread could be Gold, I am telling ya.
Talk about mixed reviews! I take it that by “I suck” you don’t mean i suck the sweet nectar out of the dormant possibilities of this forum, and distribute said nectar with generous abandon, and in great iron goblets, to my fellow pale thinkaholic web addicts. But I may be wrong. I hope I’m wrong.
Go for it Gamer. The worst that could happen is that you would garner a whole bunch of enemies. (do NOT publish address!) On the other hand, you could make new friends. As an added plus, consider the notoriety! Maybe a gold plated avatar, who knows?
Enemies? Jeez it was just a joke. How could I make enemies knowing nothing about you all? ILP is the most raw and fascinating thing I come in contact with on a daily basis, thanks to all of you. The infighting. The rambling confessions. The quips. And the seemingly cutting-edge philosophical blue sky session. (As if I could recognize what’s cutting edge in philosophy – but I would recognize a cutting edge piece of popular art, say, a film or short subject.) Even the buttoned up ones are hilarious with their idiosyncracies.
As for Dunamis and the pocket protector…i don’t see how that’s offensive. He’s just so brainy and patient…the guy must have a pocket protector. That doesn’tmean he’s not a stud.
I am fully capable of getting ugly, but I never would because ILILP.
