Yes, the character does wipe himself eleven times.Ã,  He has also never smoked a cigarette in his life.Ã,  But his lack of comfort in the scene is almost a metaphor for his style of filmmaking.Ã,  He is the embodiment of the bad student film.

I like your suggestions.Ã,  I want you to watch the four minute version when I upload it.Ã,  Ã, It could just be the way I've justified it in my head, but I think it's funny that Nick is very comfortable sitting in the artsy black and white scene doing nothing, and Charles isn't.Ã,  And vice versa, Charles has no problem with his light saber, and Nick has trouble getting his in color.Ã,  But within the context of the documentary scene, those nuiances are slightly more obvious.


Starting on the 35th second:Ã,  A very good idea for a one minute promo.Ã,  I will suggest that when we co-sponsor film screenings, and need to shorten the promo. Thanks!

yeah its not supposed to be a silent movie.  we just haven't dubbed in the lines yet.  I have a friend who will do other sound design for it, including ambient bird chirps and sound fx.

Redrum, I thought the name Carlos Avilez was very familiar, so I looked him up on IMDb.  Turns out I was thinking of Carlos àvila.  He's a director but I don't think he's well known.

How about the sheer fact that there will be millions of Gmail users and that they would have to employ hundreds of thousands of humans or robots to read through all those emails for no goddamned reason?

On the good side, this is the only other Police Academy directed by Hugh Wilson.


He directed the first and no other.

Thanks guys!

I suppose I should give some context for this project.Ã,  We also filmed and edited a segment of documentary style testimonials for a four minute version, where the "Smokes and Java" scene appears at the end.Ã,  I will upload the testimonial parts when they're available but for now I'll tell you what they say:

Nick, the long dark haired one,Ã,  is a pretentious film student.Ã,  He argues that films should be made to make people think, and only on film.Ã,  He's somewhat a stereotype film student.

Charles is a huge fan of George Lucas, Spielberg, and pretty much any movie with explosions and no plot.Ã,  He argues that story doesn't matter, just special fx because its all people will ever remember.Ã,  He also encourages digital filmmaking, because its new and easier.


The point is that their opinions clash, and that UFA recognizes and accepts that clash.

This past April, my film organization invited various filmmakers to our university to speak for several panels.Ã,  I was talking to Michael Tronick, a Hollywood editor, when I mentioned that my friend and I had finished a sound project where I impersonated Terence Stamp.Ã,  I saw Tronick's eyes light up as he told me, "I'm working with Terence Stamp on a project right now!Ã,  I could try to give him your project, it's worth a shot!"Ã,  Ã, It was surreal, Tronick was excited about the whole thing and pledged to first give the project to Doug Liman, the director of the project.

I've also handed Michael Moore a horrible student film I had made.Ã,  He looked at me seriously and said "Thank you" probably thinking it was some serious documentation of George Bush doing evil things.Ã,

We could talk about how no one dared venture into the General Forum, for fear of attracting the intellectual likes of Las Naranjas or Helm.  I could write a short story in metaphor about that, relating it to a hostage situation.

Uh, it usually takes a few days to get your first...


But maybe now Gmail has opened the flood gates.


Has anyone else managed to get his/her last name "@gmail.com"?

Filmed Sunday, edited and scored Monday, and uploaded moments ago,

Here is the first promo I've made for my university film club.

We filmed with a Panasonic A DVX100, which yields very stunning digital quality.

Zooty, you have to try to understand that this is a "hobby forum".

As much a person devotes his time to such a thing, there are still greater priorities in his life.Ã,  2ma2 is surely taking care of those right now, so I am not worried, dissapointed, baffled etc. that he is not currently posting.

That is not to say I would not rejoice if my "hobby forum 'friend'" were once again to return.Ã,  I'll go farther and say that I liked him because he treated me very kindly as a newbie.Ã,  Ã, He even included me and my old avatar in his game, flattering me tremendously.Ã,

2ma2 was one of the best artists with a completed game when I joined the forums.


And he made an infamous MAGS game that featured AGS veterans!  Real good guy.

you realize of course that Harrison Ford would prefer to be paid for those hours and hours and hours of voice acting, right?

I took care of you eggie.  I just hope you use it, as it is one of the most organized email systems ever created.

Replies are organized into threads, and the ads are so tasteful and interesting!

Feel free to test it by emailing me. We'll just make up crap back and forth.

I don't think the Bowie believers have seen Escape From New York.


I too, have seen Labryinth.  I own the movie, and in fact know all the words to "Dance Magic Dance."


However, being the king of the goblins doesn't necessarily make you a cool guy.

Now driving around in a limo with chandeliers on its hood, you'd have to be one bad mother *** (Shut your mouth!)

Wow, Gmail came up with a really good system.  Its users are doing all the marketing for them!  I have invites to give away as well, but I doubt they will even be necessary before long.
