NHL 09 Was Trying to Tell Me Something
Last night, on the way home, 3 ideas for short films came to me. I told myself that I would write them out after I was done working out. I finished working out and out of habit I turned on NHL 09 for Playstation3. Midway through it’s start up, I realized that I wasn’t supposed to be playing NHL 09 and that I was supposed to be writing out some scripts. I convinced myself to play just one game, which usually turns in to roughly 5 games. I am so addicted to NHL 09, it’s not even funny. Seriously, I’ve been playing that game for a year and I can’t stop. NHL 10 comes out in 2 months and then it will all start all over again. So, I start to play and I’m playing goalie mode and I’m not joking you, the computer scored like 4 goals on me in the time span of 1 real life minute. Which is like 20 seconds in game time. If you were in my kitchen at the time you would have heard:
“damn it………son of a bitch………SHIT!……….MOTHER FU- Screw this!”
With that, I turned off the system and went upstairs and started writing.
I got a lot more out of writing those scripts then I would have gotten from playing NHL 09 for 4 hours. I immediately sent one script to Chris and he really liked it. It seriously is, the perfect short film for festivals. It would run about a minute long, it’s funny, it’s quick, it’s clever, and it’s PG-13. The best part is, is that I could probably shoot it in one day and edit it the next. It’s a really simplistic and clever concept. Maybe it will be something that I can pull off in between Do Nice Guys Finish Last and Project X. I got the ball rolling on Project X. Which needed to be done. I looked at all of the information I had and just put it all together and sort of wrote out an outline. Then I E-Mailed that to the script writer. I’m excited to see how it comes out. Also, I just got the new cut from Gabe, of Do Nice Guys Finish Last. Needless to say, I’m glad that I suck at NHL 09 and that the computer saw it fit to destroy me.
