Hey Kelli,

Have you read, or heard or seen anything really good lately?

I’ve been reading a lot of scripts recently…as might be expected…“Django Unchained” among them. It’s a conventionally told story…compared to say “Pulp Fiction”, but well told.

I recently read both versions of the script for Prometheus. From watching the film, I thought the script could have used a bit of work. It was a tad disappointing in how the story unfolded. It could have been more thrilling.

Well as it turns out a previous version of the script, penned by Jon Spaiht, was an excellent thriller. I don’t know why Ridley Scott didn’t go with it but if he had the movie would have been a top notch thriller.

I also attempted to read “Moonrise Kingdom” by Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola. I’m something of a fan of Wes Anderson’s. Loved “Life Aquatic”. But I write and read so much that my attention span has become pathologically short and so I couldn’t really get passed the cute intros. I mention this because I then saw the film and loved every goofy minute of it. Haha It’s funny how something doesn’t interest you as a written story but once it’s put on film it becomes quirky and charming. LOL

Hope things are going well.

New album

Hi Kelli,

Great news! Hope you raise the money within sixty days.

What style of music would you say it is?

Electro? Or a full studio version of your later stuff?

I love the inspiration for it. Could have a lot of fun with that.

-Bryan

So Kelli I wanted to tell you that I’ve been on Facebook and Google+ alot lately and have been sharing youtube links to your vids and the sneaker pimps. It seems a good way to remind people how great your music is.

I especially like the google plus because you can post to the everyone on site or to just those in your circles. There aren’t as many members as on Facebook but the average user can interact with many more users because of their circle share feature.

I don’t know how you prefer to market your incredible talents but you might consider making a few posts on the google plus site too.

I hope things are well with you. Summer time is here again. Are you planning a few Summer festival dates for us?

I’m keeping the fingers crossed.

Bye for now,

Bryan

Military Industrial Guilt Complex

Does anyone here know of the Occupy movement? It was originally Occupy Wallstreet, and it was only to last a day, now it is still continuing and is world-wide. The goal is to have a “Robin-Hood tax” set into action. The idea is that only 1% of our nation are the rich and the other 99% are, well, everyone else.
They are trying to have the 1% taxed and spread equally throughout the nation for causes of assistance such as general welfare for the people. This 1% tax would generate an additional 175-200 billion dollars a year.

I know a fair amount of people involved and am interested in joining their cause. If anyone here is interested, would you mind sharing maybe some ideas on the matter, and I’ll see who i can talk to to make things happen.

If not, that is fine. Just wondering.

If you Are interested and would like to know other eventual goals, you can always go to occupylouisville.org.
Louisville is the city i’m in where the movement is.

i’m waiting for it to end.
too many mentally ill people who just want to get hit by cops,
too many impatient people who arrogantly REFUSE to learn anything PRACTICAL about changing laws.
i appreciate their rage, i feel it myself, but
i feel the sort of rage that doesn’t want to waste energy on repetitious programs
that achieve nothing NEAR the desired effect.

i LIKE my friends. seeing them beaten down by cops does nothing for my personal anarchy.
or anybody else’s…

a bunch of nerds who don’t even have good new ideas,
useless poseur deadweight. organized, too, by Adbusters,
which means it is just not anarchy. there are people who believe in organized anarchy,
we call them poseurs, or Bjork, who had the decency to admit that she was wrong.

Stranger Sold The Moon Through Walls

felt the sound of seven billions almost not thinking. knew what it was,
the telepathetic alarum clock breaking for the last time,
time to wake up. we all died
in a past life, this is not heaven because
we aren’t quite awake.

stumbling in the neon groves. everything recalibrates and so the most hated
the sniveling morons who lied so that
they could make money ruining the air and water with
Dick’s Frack Juice. Lying greedy bastards, they are so proud and VENAL.

such hypocrites of judgment do suck up the “human extinction?” what-if,
anyway, they don’t want to live too long. not sustainable,

we inhale, hold it, don’t join the army. not that army.

——
and so THIS IS THE TIME
when for all of us it is the mellow period between deep dreaming and tasting that coffee. it is the psychic amniotic, because
all of this is being reborn, earth plus “people.”

—-
they are not even atheists,
they worship billions and billions of reprintable old white slaveowning wifebeating FALSE GODS, they are not even worth what atheists are worth, they won’t be
around long.

——
military industrial guilt complex.
they have hitler up their ass.

to the hitl.

———-
and then they say ‘post modern feminism’ three or four times really fast before
the commercials for EarthFrack IllumiCorp come on
so that they, you know, robots,
they want to seem human.

Adolf just wanted everyone to think he was a Nice Guy.

Blood Simple

2012-02-10T07:44:20+00:00

I took a challenge from a fellow screenwriter over on the Zoetrope website to read one Oscar nominated script every three days for one month and then exchange analysis on each. Not an easy challenge to accomplish I have loads of other things to do including a number of rewrites of my own scripts and I ended up falling off the wagon somewhere after reading Godfather I and Godfather II, both excellent films, but one is 160 pages and two is 198 pages. LOL And to make matters worse, I’ve discovered the online script databases and so have been playing hooky from said voluntary challenge for a few days in favor of perusing the long lists of scripts on offer.

One of the scripts was an early Coen brother script for the movie “Blood Simple.” It was a clear from the beginning that it was about a love triangle gone wrong, but it wasn’t clear how good the story would be. In fact, despite the ubiquity of love triangle scripts and the simplicity of the story (complexity can mask theme similarities) it had me guessing about how it was going to turn out the whole way through. It was obvious there was going to be more blood but whose and how would the survivors avoid being caught up in the web of incriminating evidence left behind. Not that it’s a police procedural, it isn’t, but it’s a movie about crimes of passion, a cop or two might be expected to appear.

I’m not going to spoil the story for anyone and say how things turned out, but I will say that if you want to read the script its available online and it’s a quick read, 96 pages, easy pages.

You guys might consider checking it out or I suppose if you would prefer doing even less work for your entertainment, rent the movie.

The next script on my must read list is “Heat”. One of my favorite movies. Maybe I’ll learn a thing or two. (being that I write screenplays)
