    So I really want to quit my job, but I'm not sure I can get a "real" job that's likely to be any more fulfilling. What can I do with a bachelor's degree in filmmaking and five years at a public library?
    At least you're being proactive! Most people who majored in film are still trying to get the occupy movement going.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    The hunt for the new roommate is on. I find this part stressful. I really, really like the girl I've been living with this summer, but she's only here until August.

    I know people who have worked in the system since the 1970's. I don't want to be them!

    What I'd really like is a job where I can indulge my creative side - artist, writer, filmmaker. Any of those, I guess. But so far, I have only unfinished projects in all fields, which make for a fairly unimpressive portfolio.
    To get such a job you need to buff up your portfolio a little but doing that isn't as difficult as it may seem.

    Work on shooting and finishing some shorts. The hardest thing with anything in life but especially art is conquering one's own fear. Write a short script and don't judge it while you're writing it so that you're able to complete it. A good way to start so that you don't bog yourself down is write down 50 premises for possible films, just bare bones ideas and again don't judge how good they are while doing that. Then go back and take pieces from all your brief ideas and then move on to the next stage of fleshing out the basic narrative/emotional chords/story beats/characters. After that you can start writing dialogue etc.

    Worry about budget/number of characters/feasibility of shooting a little during the writing but don't let it dampen your creative output too much. When the script is completed if you feel it's good enough you may want to rent a camera and/or put together a budget to see what you'll need to complete it. I would suggest working on 6-10 minute shorts as they give you time to explore some issues but they're also finite and can hold an audience's interest successfully in that format.

    A few shorts later and you'll be ready to start work on some features.

    I need to get a tattoo that says "Warning: Not fit for human interaction."

    I am just so clueless about how to act / talk to women. I always mess it up. ALWAYS. There's never been an exception.

    I have a knack of becoming attracted to women who have no interest in me and being oblivious of women who actually have some interest in me.

    I'm tired of making an idiot of myself. I'm almost 40. I'm done. Throwing in the towel. I'm just gonna accept the fact that I'm gonna be one of those men who never finds the right one and will never get married.

    Its just easier.
    It's a lot easier/more fun to talk to girls when you are both drunk on alcohol.

    And now I have two different people interested, both of whom could move in August. That... was easy.

    Film posters done in a traditional Ottoman style. Beautiful and interesting. I really like the one for The Shining.

    Oh my. Not only did my request for press passes for Clutch come through, but they include meet and greet with the band. Guess I'll have something to be anxious about after my surgery. I'm not interview guy.

    there's a fairly substantial differance between asking a random girl out and meeting and greeting a member of your all-time favorite band.

    Random: it is surely an impossibility (although I've never heard it mentioned before) that I'm the first to notice that the clerk in Bennys World Of Liquor in From Dusk Till Dawn is looking at a catalog of brides dresses...

    Today is Friday the 13th, and I have to work. If some drunk guy comes in wearing a hockey mask (highly unlikely, but still) I will high five him. If he starts killing people first, I will run like hell. Wish I could just sit around my house and view the first 8 films (which I own) while wasted instead.

    Hey, neat. This is page 1138 of the thread.

    All hail George Lucas, or something.

    Happy Friday the 13th everyone.

    Sarah and I arrived in Oklahoma on Thursday. The area here is nice and about the same as it was shopping-wise just outside of the main Chicagoland area, but sweet mercy, it's continually been in the high 90s each day, with the car temperature frequently registering over 100 degrees.

    It's gonna take some time to get used to this...

    A friend of mine from high school went to Comic Con and made out with Nathan Fillion. People were calling BS and so she didn't just produce pictures, she produced video. It's pretty fun.

    I've been looking at all the cosplay photos from the event that Rotten Tomatoes has on their main page, but this story here is the tip of the iceberg. There has to be a Match-Cut reunion next year.

    I follow number8 on twitter and he basically went to all of the panels I would have wanted to go to and posted many tweets about what was happening.

    I'm going to plan to go next year.

    Did he give a good excuse for not making out with you? Or is he just a jerk?
