Author Topic: Some of You Guys Are Movie Making Material. (Read 6915 times)

Before this topic falls off the first page (who the hell reads the 2nd page anyway!?), I gotta mention that I think that TBomz' life-experience would make an interesting movie script.

The trials and tribulations of a very honest and likable married bi-bodybuilder out to make it big.

Write it somewhat like 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' (Thanks, JNN) with T and a group of his real hometown friends within a gym environment and a competitive atmosphere each wishing to make it to the big-time within various chosen professions. (Or something like that.)

Bomz would be the lead character who cannot tell a lie no matter what the consequences.

But since Bomz has only had a short life-experience of 21 years (so far), he 'll have to think a few years ahead to add some humerous characters and funny material to his story as most movie scripts have to be at least 120 pages if I recall correctly.

A movie script format is so exacting that a movie producer or director or you or even me, can forecast the movie's length simply by seeing how many pages are in the script.

Thanks for the input from you guys who have had real experiences with script writing. I've proof-read many but have never finished one personally but I've been told that I have some great story line idea that should developed.

Thanks for list-ning!

Straight to DVD can be very profitable.

In fact many .... movies are made with the knowledge that they will not be profitable during their theatrical run, but that 'theatrical run' is merely a means of advertisement for that production's video sales.

Hollywood devises many ways to make its products profitable.

australia is very different since 90% of films are government funded so just getting the funding to get something made is the aim - you make a good salary from the funding and never expect money back from the box office.

Some aussie films are so bad that they take in around $20k at the box office and they cost the taxpayers $4-5mil to make. The producers can rip off the funding body pretty easily with inflated estimates and kickbacks too.

The writing here is underdeveloped imo. A lot of young writers get their break too early, their film is a failure, and they are never heard from again.

Crocodile dundee couldn't get govt funding so paul hogan sold shares for something like $7000 to get money for it. Those shares paid out 20 times over or something like that.

Just talking about screenwriting and movie making is bullshit.

MEGA .... Even worst is the fact that only a very small percentage of that 10% of screenwriting and movie making that isn't bullshit (by your estimation), makes multi millions in profits.

I personally know two individuals who are multi-millionaires today because they took the initial risk of "putting pen to paper" and rolling film.

why is the grant story interesting? LA is full of boys (and mostly girls) who came here with stars in their eyes and wound up waitressing/tweeting/doing porn.

stuntmovie · « **Reply #32 on:** June 10, 2011, 03:07:47 PM »

CLOWNEY, I think that the Grant story is interesting because it was somewhat of a success within a questionable industry and had no apparent, adverse affect on his livelihood once he 'retired'.

Plus the fact that he was a good looking bodybuilder from South Africa who gave up a promising pro bodybuilding career to get into the porn industry and turned it into his personal success story which he was not ashamed to admit to and tell the world about.

Plus the apparent fact that a good number of us GetBiggers would have given his left nut to step into his moccasins to have a pow-WOW with a Cherokee in a teepee ..... even though twenty other indians are gathered around to ensure that the scene goes well and gets 'in the can/in the papoose'.

Plus other interesting and personal every-day ocurrances which Grant may be keeping private until he writes the script and gets it sold.

And when and if that ever does happen, you'll all most likely be seeking an audition for the leading role.

YOU ladies too!

But by then, Grant will have to take a Producer role.

But, personally, I think he ought to return to competitive BB and win the Masters.

This could turn out to be a vicious circle career-wise,

A good script idea for Twi-light Zone.

I still think that DISTURBIA has one hell of a story to tell. Possibly Academy Award material.

Where the hell did he head off to?

I think he got banned.

Used to write a bit o' ad copy and coupled with something of an ability to do voice overs. Well... If so inclined I could rip a tbombz film a new one vis a vis Tag Lines. Given his predilection for being an asspuppet, I imagine the little stooltoad would just love having a new one ripped.

As for my life story, they are already making a two part Hobbit film...

My life story would be banned in Boston and Rated X.

Wore a lot of different hats in my day.........now I only wear one to cover my bald head.

FUCK THAT NOISE!!

stuntmovie - you seem like the typical LA guy walking around thinking that what you give a fuck for the rest of the planet does, no one gives a fuck about people here and their life stories, well maybe a few here do but thats it.

you hollywood moochers who think that because you like some bullshit everyone would like it too are no different then the girl dating a fat slobs and shes convinced everyone wants him.

stuntmovie · « **Reply #38 on:** June 11, 2011, 08:48:22 PM »

MUSCULARNY, What you said above .... It isn't the first time I've heard similar LA/Hollywood experiences, but it might be because you hang around the wrong crowd or have been less than successful in the business that the studios have to offer.

You might be aware that I am NOT in a position where I can help anyone break into the business (xcept on three very successful occasions), but as a felow human being and long term GetBigger, I can encourage a WalMart bag checker, or gas station attendant, etc to get off their ass and pursue their dreams or at least make an attempt to let them know the various opportunities that the movie industry has to offer.

And believe me, I speak as a former gas station attendant who got off his butt to experience the SoCal lifestyle.

But I was fortunate enough to meet some damn good people within the industry and have witnessed and experienced the 'good side" over many years.

I do agree that it's a tough nut to crack with a lot of hardships and questionable participants involved, but I've seen many friends become ultra successful on the movie screen and behind it due to their associates, hard work and dedication (one of whom is currently working on a well known $150,000,000++ production with two other major openings this summer.

I hate to be redundant, but it appears that even your LA experience could be of interest if you put it to paper in the proper format and made some attempt at meeting the right people who have reason to believe in you.

Can I ask you what kind of work you did in LA and what has caused some of the animosity and negativity.

Thanks, NY ..... Stunt

Another few ideas for movies about Getbiggers:

"Fatpanda", about a kid that is fat and goes on an epic journey from his PC chair to his fridge to get lean, and how he fails miserably. Including a private detective and some nasty phone calls.... Cameos by The Incredible Hulk, Superman and Kid Cat.

"Living Las Vegas", about a kid that has dabbled in steroids, lost his source and is now lost himself inside a shitty body with low testosterone, but a lot of hate for the goodlooking people in the world.

"Hill Billy", about a very goodlooking man and his way into madness, starring Johnny Falcon, Paint Thinner, Crystal Meth, Sea Salt and Coffee Cup.

"Deep Tissue", ahhhh forget it.

"The Translator" about the underworld of high end translators (cash, women, and natural bodybuilding)

Damn, i would watch that.

How about the story of a poor Romanian gypsy who went out to take the tennis world in storm, then unfortunately got caught in a secret gouvernment mind reading program where he learned about aliens, stealing cars and potatoes.
