Save Us John Cusack!
Monday, January 4th, 2010So, either we have just 2 years left before the planet destroys itself or like the Y2K hoax nothing is going to happen and life will go on. Either way, there’s nothing I can do about either of those so it’s time to have some fun and get down to business. Unless of course John Cusack picks me up in a limo. Then we can outrun earthquakes and lava. That scene was absolutely ridicules and I loved every God damned second of it. Just turn off your brain for movies like that, you’ll love them. I liked that movie as a mindless action flick. I got exactly what I expected.
With Do Nice Guys Finish Last all set and making its attempt at a festival run, I’m ready for my next project. I plan to start 2010 right. My resolution was to write a script whenever I get an idea. I had way too many ideas last year that I’ve now forgotten because I never wrote them. Sometimes they are entire long short films, other times they are just quick scenes. I actually do really enjoy writing, but the hardest part is getting started. So, no matter how bad or small the idea is, I am going to stop what I’m doing and write a script for it immediately. We’ll see how that goes as I seem to get groups of ideas. Hopefully I can keep up with myself.
Ellen Sandler is doing a seminar on January 23rd in Los Angeles at The Writers Store. I’m seriously considering going. I really like her book. Only thing holding me back is that it’s $150. I could be spending that cash on my next short film. Who knows though, this class might push me in another direction entirely. For $150 I suppose I could find out. I’ll keep you guys updated. It could be a fun Saturday.
Happy 2010 everyone. Hopefully you all have a good year.
