Work Gave me a plan

I have now officiulay been working one week, and of course i will tell you that it is nice to be making some cash so i can gfinally start making my own movie like Arnor Shorr does too. let me tell u a little about my first week at 99 Cent Book Store where i work. as I ASped before i work on monday wensday and saturday bc its a parttime job, not full time like lawyer or carpenter. what i did was very important for the bookstore bc each week they get in some new books and also have to replace books theyve sold with extras they have in the back room. i work at putting out new books and taking old ones from the back and putting them in, for example on wendsday we ran out of a book caled "the south beach diet" and i had to put out five new copies in case more people wanted to buy one. sometimes i also have to look at some rows and see if books are out of the normal order and make them right if they are.

the job is nice too bc i work on those days only 4 hours ansd sometimes there's free time to do things. many times if i dont need to be doing stacking or book order, i will see if there arew some good books that will help me with my films. also sometimes i can get ideas without looking at books and I have a story about how i came up with a new movie idea titled "Hypno-Stapler". What happened was yesterday i had soem free time and insted of looking at books i decided to take a nap in the back office which has a couch in it. But i couldnt fall asleep! so i stared at some stuff in the room and i saw there's a stapler on the desk and i thought "hey maybe i could write something about a stapler for a movie" and then i thought of a title it could be "Hypno-stapler." i don't know the plot yet, maybe it will also have a staple remover too, but i think this should be a short movie like maybe a few minutes and if people really like it i could make a sequal that is even longer like 2 hours.

ok right, now this is why this idea will really thicken the gravy. i would like this to be th first movie i make myself bc it is short and i already know where i can get a very important part of it- the stapler! lol! so i will try to find someone with a video camera to lend to me and then i will write the screenplay for ';hypno-Stapler" and when it is done i will put it on my ASP so people could see it and say "hey that's a good movie let's invite this guy to our big manshin in LA and buy some of his other movies like Envelope Team and Nuclear MEmory". i think this will be my plan for the next few weeks and it could even be my brake into Hollywood!

FARENHEIGHT 411... Sequal to the classic!!


One of the best dark comedys I have seen is Farenheight 911 which was funny for a few reasons, first of all bc it was one guy talking the whole time, which is very new and not alot of movies do that lol! and also bc it was a bit autobiographical about the Bushcheney. It is mostly about emergecies (9-1-1 is the world's number for emergency)a nd there was this really awesome emergency sceen at the beginning where a guy has his head chopped off in Arabia!! Cool! But then it gets sort of boring after that. And also there were some sad parts too like also when the World tradetowers exploded i didnt thik that emergency should have happened.

So i am of course writing a sequal called Farenheight 411 which is more funny and also not as sad and of coutse the same funy guy speaks the whole time thru this sequal also, and when he has nothing to say he whistles theme songs from TV shows! Awesome!

So just like Farenhight 911 was about emergenceis, this one will be about calling for information bc that is what it is on the phone when you call 4-1-1. Ad so this one will be about the Bushcheney, who is from TEXAS, finding the best pizza, and they find the pizza places by dial 4-1-1! And also in a twist that really shakes the bacon, the best pizza in TEXAS is made by the same guy from arabia who had his head chopped off in 911, but now his head is sewd back on lol! And then the bushcheney has to make a big decision: should he chop off the guy's head again and steal the pizza which is the best in TEXAS or will he invade Canada to be able to find the best pizza there? (I sort of live near canada which is across the big lakes) So in the end they call 411 to find out what they should do – but I'm not going to give away the ending of what 4-1-1 tells them LOL!!!!! :-) Also a nother joke thru the whol thing is that 4-1-1 tells the bushcheney which color ties to wear and what laws to make.

Improving on aTm

Today i was thinking more about the idea for ATM bc i thinik its one of my best ideas since "Monopoly Man" and they are both dark autobiographys. i really didnt like the name "ATM" bc it is so boring and who is going to see a movie with such a boring name? Not me, lol! So i would like to call it now maybeb "ATM, A Killer Cyborg ATM". that name sound s a lot more itneresting like someone would think 'i know what an atm is but maybe i should see this movie and find out if it's true that some atm's can kill you instead of giving you monny".

I also remembered the great name i came with before, do you remember it was called Grimbald Yosemite DaLlodnoy? So i was originally going to put him in a movie called Garbage Truck bc he sounds like he ould be trapped in the back of a garbage truck, but no i think it's also a good name for the scientist who is a main charcter in ATM, A killer cyborg ATM. But i could also combine the ideas and write a prequel about what Grimbald did before he was a scientist ans he could get stuck in the back of the garbage truck and that's where he starts coming up with great new inventions like maybe a car that has gun s and knives to protect it from robbers. so i could make ATM, a Killer cyborg atm" and then i could write Grimbald in the Garbage Truck.

Kung fu fortune Cookie

ok, i kno i have been ASPING a lot lately but i have a month of catchin up to do lol!! so i have another idea for a movie i got a few weeks ago when i went out with my parents to a chinese restarant. its called "Kung FU Fortune COokie" and its my first ninja movie! what happens in the plot is thaT chinas su[pply of fortune cookies starts running out bc they have so many people that they can't keep up making enough to feed everyone, so the governement sends a team of ninjas to america to break into all the american fortune cookie factories and steal all america's supply of fortune cookies. what happens tho is that one of the ninjas gets greedy and also breaks into an eggroll factory bc when nhe has the fortune cookie it reminds him of eggrolls too and he gets hungry and has to have an eggroll. but the guards at the eggrolll factory catch him, and he should have known it bc earlier we see his fortune is "dont go into the eggroll factory" and they tell the u.s. government which assembles a team of navy seals to fight the chinese and sav americas fortune cookies. the head navy seal is the main charachter and his name is Richmond FitzDiamond.

The ninjas start packing up there ship with all the fortune cookies to take back to japan when the navy seals catch them and tell them to give back the fortune cookies. and so the ninjas send a box back and the navy seals open it and there are fortune cookies but when one opens his cookie it explodes and it turns out those cookies are really a bomb and the ninjas are getting away. but one navy seal loads a cannon with the bomb-cookies and shoots it at the japanese boat and it sinks, so the ninjas then have to fight the navy seals. there is a really REALLY big kung fu fight that lasts like forty minutes and the ninjas use swords and nunchucks and sharpstars, but in the end the navy seals win bc they realize that if they are higher up than the ninjas the ninjas cant see them with there slitty eyes they can only see straight ahead. So the navyseals get on top of some boxes and then use grenades and machine guns to kill all the ninja. And the camera cuts to the king of china saying "nooooo!!!" bc he was watching the fight with a secret video camera. then Richmond FitzDiamond says he's glad they rescued fortune cookies for america, and then as they go hedecides to open a fortune cookie and the fortune says "the ninjas will return".

REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE

Sometimes i make ideas which are realy good but i never tured them into "scripts"... sometimes this is bc i cant think of a good ending or a good title or sometimes i just think that maybe it is a film no one will make bc it is to avangard or maybe not autobiograpohical enough. So percy gave me this great idea bc he told me in an email "REDUCE REUSE AND RESICLE!" (it is actualy spelled RECYCLE but percy may not have learned thaty et.) But is still a great idea! :-) So this is an idea that RECYCLES some of my ideas that are not "scripts" into a script and this is it:

Billy McFuddles reads the bible every day and LOVES it! Until one day it is midnite and he reads a secret chapter he has not ever read before about ape-people in Babtistland (this part is from my idea "Bible Billy and the Babtist Babboons") So Billy changes his name to Jesus ad decids to be a pop star (this is from my idea Motown Jesus) and he gets to performin the Times square in New York City in the thanksgiving day parade!! And while he is there he is killed by a piano that falls out of the empire State Building (this part is from KILLER PIANO: THE TRUE STORY, exept in that story it is not the empire State Building, but actually the Mall of America, but it has to be in Times Square to make sense unless he telports LOL) and then when he is killed the piano mover who is a high school girl named Elayna, who is named afyter a girl I fell in love with in high school before i left, who just got back from a race around the world goes to visit her mother with her pictures (this is from a different idea) but then an angry group of chirch people crucifieds her for killing motown jesus and as they do they read a quote from the Book of Babtistland Baboons! LOL amd we know its from that book bc we flash back to a picture of Motown Jesus reading it with his mom as a kid.

ATM

i have a new movie idea! I thought of this "script" over the weekend and i think it will make a good short movie or maybe even a long one. the story is about the futuristic problem of robots. its called "ATM" and is about a bank that hires a scientist to make theyre atms safer from being robbed so the scientist invents an atm with guns and knives and a video camer\a if someone tries to rob it or tried to rob someone getting money then it would kill them. The bank puts in the scientists atm BUT it goes crazy! it thinks everyone who trieds to get money from it is a robber and so if you take money out of it, it will kill you. the police want to stop it but the atm is too strong, so the scientist says it could be distracted if someone was taking money out of it but noone will do that bc its suiside! finally the scientist reelizes that he has to take out money bc he invented it and he goesz to take out money and the atm gives him money and doesnt kill him and the scientist thinks everything is ok, but then at the last minute the atm starts stabbing him and thats when the police blow it up, but it's too late for the scientist bc he dies. but at least the trouple is over until the last sceen the camera shows that the bank accidently sent out another of the bad atms by accident but no one knows which one it is. And then it shows a lady taking out some money and a knife coming out of the atm instead of the money. Great ending!

Old movies are Important for making Movies

now i am going to teach you FANS something that i learned from the movie-director Arnron Shorr. I asked him if it was important to know about old movires and watch them to make new movies and --- you may be suprised, he said Yes! many of you probavly are thinking what i said to Arnron, which is old movies, especially black and white movies-are very boring and usually nothign happens, so why do i have ti know about black &white movies if i am making my movies in colors?

ythe reason is that all movies build on each other and improve things that old movies tried. For example, movies made in 2007 should be better than the movies from 2006, except Superman was very very good and maybe only Spiderman 3 which comes out this summer can beat him, but the movies from v2007 will only be even bettetr if the writers and directors watched all the old movies so they can outdo them. Therefour if i want my movies to be good then i have to watch the old movies first from the 1920s and 1930s and onward so that my films wont repeat their mistAkes , like being in black&white and having no explosions, but can also take things from them that they did right like maybe a shootout sceen or something.

My favorite old movies are: Miracle on 34th Street, Marx Brothers, and the Wizzard of Oz (yes some of it is in color but some is also in black and white so it counts! lol!)

Back from my brake!

So maybe u are wondering why i havent posted ihn a few weeeks and where have i been of course? i have been finding a JOB! Oh NOOO!! JK! My parents told me last month that i had to get a job if i was going to keep making progress anbd maybe it could be a parttime job, but it had to be something riught and i tried to explain trhat i had a job ----- I'M A SCREEENWRITER"":!!!!!!!! and also i work on my asp.

BUT they said no, I had to find something that pays me regularly and i shouldnt spend effort on my ASP until i had one. well i went on many interview and applicants-at a mcdonalds (no, I didn’t tell them about mcFun, but I was thinking of it) and at a coffee place and at a gas station. these were all places that did not hire me and when u think of it u know, I didn’t really have the rite skills for them, they don’t need screenwriters at mcdonalds nlol!!

...

Good news! i did get a job after all at a place callewd the “99cent book store”! and this is also very good bc it means I have a job where writing vould be helpful. i will stock the shelves and arrange books if they get disarranged into an alphabetical order. They said at first I will work part time on mondays and wednesady and Saturdays but maybe if I do well I will work there more and also could read free books about subjects i am writing movies about!
