Stupid emauil makes me stop ASPing for days, and also angry, at my mentor who was suposed to help me, and i dont know why he didnt but now i am mAD

as u porbably know my mentor is a director and produrcer named anon shorr. we have been friends for many years now after i found his website and sent him and emnail; and we started talking aboiut how to make movies like we both do. so all the time i have ideas and questions about movies and if arnorn will make my movies and he has given me great answers and advise and even the interview u can see on my AsP, but now something very bad and sad has happened and for awhile it made me want to do a suicide and i had to leave my work until i got better which could still be a few weeks or even some more then thAt. i searched on craiglist about movies and writers and i wanted to tell a jobpost i found that they should hire me to write there tv show and i asked arnon shorr to read my response to the craigslister and what he wrote back made me cry. here is an example from his email:
"I think it's awful. James, it makes you seem totally unprofessional and disorganized.You are not a "MASTER" screenwriter. You've never had any of your work produced by any major company. You write your emails like a fourth-grader, not like a "master screenwriter". You are also not "Critically Acclaimed". James, please study writing extensively. When you've graduated from at least a two-year college, contact me again. Any time you try to sell your ideas before you actually learn how to write will be wasted time."
I thought first that maybe he was being sarcastic or something bc he is usually veryu nice like a friend but i showed matt and he said he thought it was serious. WHY ARMRON????????????? this is very bad. i dont know if i should be doing film or writing and i dont know about anything. if i am so stupid why am i getting emails for two years from a MASTER DIRECTOR? am i a waste of time lik mny movies which my family say are good ideas and very creative. sometimes people can be very mean in life and try to hurt you and i think arnoon wanted to make me so sad that i would stop making films, but i dont know why bc i thought he was on my side to help me get to the top like him. either he is jealous or this is some egyptian trick like making a statue with a man's head and a lions body even though no one looks like that. the email really made me very upset and now maybe my whole life is wasted and pointless if arnon is right. the last week which i have been mostly in my room and all this made me think of a new idea which ARNOM may hate but it's called "the bad mentor" where a guy has a mentor to get help and advise from but the mentor is jealous and scared of the guy so he tried to make him fail and do a suicide, but the guy realizes whats going on so he doesnt do a suicide and instead he goes to find the mentor and get revenge.
but i dont think i will ever write this movie unless i have more ideas bc maybe it is a piece of "trite" which is what aron said about my ronald mcreagan idea which means very bad like a gimmick. also i didnt ever know befor e that u cant make movies unless u have gone to a two year college but why didnt arnor tell me this when we first started talking i could have done it by now and now it is too late. so have i WASTED MY LIFE?????

REad this Screenplay, Craigslist!

what would be a great idea for a movie is a new idea i got based mostly on autobiograpbhny and also somewhat on a job i found on the internet at a place called a "craigslist" which makes lists of things to do or buy. My idea is abiout a movie about a gourp of guys who have to right a tv show like Seinfeld and The office but they need a new partner!! they have four guys originally but one of them gets kicked out bc he was really a spy ffrom an enemy tv show like fRiends or Raymond.
they need a new guy to replace him and also the trator was the best writer they had so they need to get like a superwriter whos even better instead - WOW!. Then they decide they should have a contedst and whoever can write a shoiw the fasetst and also the best will win and here's the part that makes the turkey gobble, the old trator writer who got kicked off builds a writing robot tht looks like a human to go and win the contest so he can keep spying on the other writers. Awesome!
The image
before the robot wins though another guy in the contest who is a writer from wisconsin named Dunbar Carthage sees that the eyes of one of the others always glows bright red like maybe they have lasers or something and then he realizes trhat the guy also never eats or sleeps he just keeps writing all day -- all the writers in the contest arte locked up in a big house togetyher btw-- but when Dunbar Carthage tried to tell the tv writers that one of the contestants is a robot, the robot tries to kill him and there's a big chase sceen around the house and the robot is killing lots of other writers in the contesyt by accident, it shoots soome and blows some up and then cuts someone's head off bc he is trying to kill Dunbar Carthage but hes too fast lol!! then Dunbar tells the tv writers about the robot they go in to the house with grenade lonchers and destroy the robot. The tv writers are so happy that they offer him the writign job but Dunbar says no, i want to win it fairly with writing and the tv writers say u are the best writer and we were going to give u the job anyway. so Dunbar take the job and moves to hollywood and becomse a great writer but then the old writer gets really jealous bc dunbar is even better than him so he starts to build a new robot to kill dunbar and then the movie ends and says "to be continued in a sequal". Cool! i caN'T wait to write that movie too lol!!
do you love my idea? i think its very clever and funny and would be a great movie or if u think about it even a tv show! this is very profitible and will make u alot of money and i have many more ideas too that u can hire me to make for u!

Director Arnon Shorr my Mentor is busy with many Projects!!

So i asked arnon shorr, my mentor in an email a lot of questions that were important and OMG he sent me this reply he said
James, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I can’t be a very active guide for you – I am very busy with my own projects.
-Arnon
so of course my first impulsive when i got thias email was to do suicide, but then i thought about it i thought hemmmm well maybe hes busy with really cool projects like a tv show and it is secret?? I think bc he is from egypt he maybe could be making a really cool TV show! like maybe about how an ashient Egyptian gets buried in a pyramid and then after a million years arcaolgists FIND the pyramid under ground and he is still in it and now he has to exist in todays time!! And he gets very rich by writing a book about history of the Egyptians and everyone wonders, how does he know so much? and its bc he was there!! Also maybe arnron would have him write the book in the funny Egyptian language with the birds and ppl dancing and stuff. Who knows?? He is soooo craetive!!!

A Sequal to Princess Bride!

So I really like sequals these days! Maybe u read my post about a sequal to Farenhight 911 called Farenhight 411 which is down lower on this blog my ASP?

Well this one is about a sequal to Princess Bride, a really good "script"!

No, I am not talking about Princess Diairies!!! Ever since director and mentor of mine Arnon Shorr told readers on my ASP in a really good interview that watching old movies is good for making new movies even tho old movies are boring especially ones in black and white, I have watched a lot of old movies and Princess Bride is actyually a really good! tHE MOvie is a bout a princess who is going to be married but there is a guy whose named Lisa Toyota (i think he is supposed to be chinese bc of the name but he didnt look chinese which is a big problem) and Lisa Toyota keeps saying over again and again that: My Name Is Lisa Toyota And You Killed Your Father So Now You Should Prepare To Die. I didnt really understand the ending bc a lot of chataccrers looked a like, and also PErcy had to go to bed and so he couldnt explain it to me any more, but the part before about drinking poison was really awesome!!!

The sequal which is a "script" i am writing, and I think it will be called Princess Bride Diairies. Cool!

Lady and the Bookshelf: GREAT NEW IDEA!

OMG1! so last week this pretty lady with a white scarf and sortof old came into the store (the book store where I sometimes work bc my parents made me get a job but that it has also been ok bc i can read and get ideas for ASP ideas also and its also fun too:-) ) and so wen this lady int he white scarf came in store i think i fell in love LOL! so i saw what books she was buying and it was one about a guide to gardenng for an idiot (but she looked more smart than an idiot so maybe it was a prsent to some one else lol) and she also bought a book with pictures of different plants, which i think maybe that she wants to gro in her garden. lol maybe she IS an idiot bc it is winter and who wants to make a garden in winter?!?! or maybe she is smart and learning about garndending before it is warmer outside, i dont know. But i can ask her next time she comes in bc now I know she likes gardending!
So my idea (and i just wish this could be a bit more autobiographical) is about a guy who works in a bookstore (the 99 cent book store or maybe a nicer one like a 200 cent store) and falls in love with a customer and leanrs what she likes to do and so whenever she comes in he buyus her a present about something she likes! and she always wonders omg how does that guy know what i lik so much? maybe he can read my mind! and she falls in love with him too and they move to some place where they can garden all year bc that is what she likes to do, BUT, the twist that really crisps the butter is that actually the book store man CAN really read her mind and he finds out that she loves the garden more than him and this makes him mad and so one day he asks her he says ok so if u love the garden so much why dont u just become fertalizer for the garden? and so thats what he does he turns her into fertalizer.

I hav to do more "research" into how ppl can be made into fertalizer but i think maybe it doesnt need to really be explained. What do u think? Let me and my ASP know!!
