right now i hate employed ppl

grrrr

xpost

yeah that's pretty basic, remy

more complete wiki

Why are you all so employed and productive?! It doesn't make me hate you, it makes me want to sleeeep.

Remy, that looks interesting. I am totally unfamiliar with your subject matter, but do tend to like films based on history... I am glad you are doing so well right now!

I have an idea for a movie but no idea how to turn it into a script. ;_; Plus I'm sure someone's done it already.

Well, I feel quite certain that no one has done it quite the way you would, Dan. (Besides, they say there are only 3 or 4 stories out there... everything else is a variation on those.)

So yeah, how to turn it into a script could be a problem, but I feel like you can figure that out somehow.

CUZ YOU'RE DAN PERRY

i wd def. read a movie dan wrote

Dan is a really good writer, but I think he sometimes forgets this fact somehow.

hi you guys!

today i went with my dad to a storage facility in south knoxville and we looked at the last earthly possessions of HIS dad. pretty strange. lots of wooden monks, some silver, an itinerary for a trip to stockholm in 1978.

last nite i finished recording lines for "0012 - Jane Bond", an audio drama. i play the villain. i suggest all budding screenwriters study it for masterclass tips. for instance, when your hero is hanging from a ledge by her fingertips, make sure your villain taunts her with a weak joke, like "out on a LIMB, are we??"

Oh my.

Remy, I saw it, but I've never heard of him!

I can write a mean paragraph!

I need to work the idea out some more but it's a horror/thriller movie called Intervention, the core idea being a "rehab" program that messily kills its patients.

Okay, where can I hear this audio drama? I do enjoy a weak joke. (Also... wooden monks?!)

Also - HI!

Dan can write a mean paragraph and a killer poem, too. He's just kind of shy about these things.

Also, he has great ideas, and now I'm afraid to go into rehab. THANKS A LOT, DAN, YOU KNOW THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING TO WIND UP BEFORE I FINISH WITH SCHOOL

this thread is rapidly gaining popularity.

thanks, chaki!

lolololololol

Congrats tehresa! Nothing feels better than good grades. They are addicting. (I never started getting them 'til a year and a half ago–all A's, anyway–and damn it is a fine feeling.)

I give this thread an 'A.'

i give YOU an a!

A+s all around!

good work everyone~

hi sarah! i don't know the address for the show yet, they're not done editing it together. i will post here!

yes, wooden monks. he was a fanatic for wooden monks. he probably ended up with like 100 of them

Congrats tehresa! Nothing feels better than good grades. They are addicting. (I never started getting them 'til a year and a half ago–all A's, anyway–and damn it is a fine feeling.)

This is true! I've somehow become the person who complains about getting an A- instead of an A but it just feels so rewarding.

Congratulations on being finished Tza! It's awesome, isn't it?

it is awesome!

no, i complain about A- too! last semester i had 5 As and 1 A- and if i get an A in the missing grade class, this sem will be 4 As and 1 A-. it just screws up your gpa. it's almost like getting 'all As' except you have like 3.96 instead of 4.0.

Yeah. I got all A-s this semester but I didn't complain too much because it was a really shit semester for me personally and I'm glad just to have it over and done with!

aww, well congrats on being finished!!

You guys, I have 96% in my class right now and I just have no idea how I'm going to do on the final test tonight. I'm so envious of everyone else being finished already!

Plus, I'm bitter that my "final" comes right before a huge weekend of clinicals and a 100 point GIANT PAPER.

Basically, I have been doing well all semester and now I think uh-oh, I 'm going to screw it all up.

Also trying to figure out how a person gets into collecting wooden monks...

Then again, if someone was going through my stuff, I feel sure they'd find a lot to be completely mystified by.

Tracer - I will try to check it out when you post the link. I will have time for recreation again in less than a week!!!

if you've been doing well all semester it's going to be hard to screw up now

my granddad was a methodist minister for 60 years, is the main reason. maybe it started with one innocuous gift, the way some people get lumbered with "cat" gifts i.e. "oh she likes cats, let's get her this motivational poster!" maybe my grandfather actually hated all those monks.

Tracer, I appreciate your vote of confidence. We'll see how the test goes... it's only 30 points, so hopefully I'll be able to sort most of it out. (But again... 30 points for about 4,000 pages of material total... I always feel like I have no idea what to focus on.)

I see where you are going with the wooden monks, too. It just struck me as such an odd thing to collect - possibly because I've never (to my memory) seen a single one!

sara, you will do fine!!!

You all know by now that Sara is a big ball of unnecessary stress re: this stuff, right?

yes, but encouraging words never hurt in these matters!

Blimey is this the longest thread ever? I just want to post to it anyway, mostly to say I have. Hello.

Hiya.

Daniel, I love you to death, and you're probably right. Now imagine a class of me plus 23 other people JUST LIKE ME. (Do you feel sorry for the profs suddenly?) Anyway, thanks for your HSTNGS-brand encouraging words!

tehresa - THANK YOU!

Matt DC - IS this the longest thread ever? Possibly! HELLO!

i want to see dan's rehab horror film, just make sure to include a character who used to snort heroin because they are terrified of needles who in the end is killed by like a shit-ton of needles.

maybe also a james frey-like hack author who is going into rehab pretending to be addicted to crack or whatever but who's really just going to steal ideas and then he gets his comeuppance bigtime.

I want Dan to write this film a.s.a.p., and possibly to star in it as well.

Also, leaving for school and attendant all-evening insanity now - have good evenings, all!

I might totally steal the James Frey character.

like his one phone call per day from rehab which is supposedly going to his mother we end up finding out is going to his AGENT omg

that's good

(we all know I am never writing this due to my total lack of patience when it comes to writing, yes)

ease into it, start out with bullet points in a three act breakdown, use the bullet points to write up a lengthier synopsis, then run with that shit, dog~

No, Dan, seriously. This is a good one.

good job to our A students!

I got my first F's this semester but that was just b/c of personal bullshit

What omar said. Cripes, Dan, I can spew all sorts of nonsense for NaNoWriMo, you can actually probably do something practical for a script.

I wrote 1400 words for NaNoWriMo one year and then went "oh yeah, WoW"
