"I'm writing this now because I damn well know that I won't have the capacity to sit down in front of the computer for the next couple of days. (NO sickos, not for the reason you think....well, at least not until my birthday....hahaha)
This year....WOW....what can I say about this year, that hasn't already been blogged about.
It's important to remember all the things that happened to me so that I won't repeat the same mistakes again.
This year began as a seemingly wonderful adventure that was going to end in a huge climactic scene, but somewhere further down the line, where I am in the battle to save the galaxy. Alas, this movie had a huge twist that no one saw coming. I didn't really think that I was living an M. Night movie. I was hoping for more of a Peter Jackson feel. (Minus losing a finger)
In the twist, things went so down hill that I thought this was the end. Actually I just wanted it to be the end. it was a situation where I didn't want to keep looking. I put my hands over my eyes to avoid the gruesome scene that was unfolding before my eyes. Truthfully, I wanted to walk of set.
I read the script, and I wanted the part...but then someone changed the script. Apparently, someone got a hold of the first draft and didn't like what was on the page. So to mix it up, they threw in all sorts of bad things....One right after another.
A stolen identity.
An almost arrest.
A job denied.
A court scene.
A move.
A struggle.
Hopelessness.
A fight scene.
A betrayal.
and the end of the world.
And the thing about it was that, I hadn't studied my lines or practiced. i just went on set and ad-libbed everything.
This movie...was starting to suck. It started to become one of those films that you just wish it was over because the character had endured so much.
But then, it was so comical. Like you couldn't help but laugh in hysterics at the irony of the whole situation.
It was all planned out, carefully..the way that things were supposed to go. But as you continue to watch, it looks like the actors were fumbling on purpose. Like it was supposed to be a sort of satire on things not to do in a situation like this. As many thing that can go wrong the characters end up saying "OOPS...." and then cue the laugh track ala "I LOVE LUCY"
But it's not really that simple is it. If life was just a movie, or it really could be written and you could take the parts you want and turn down the ones that don't seem appealing, that would make things a billion times more wonderful.
So as the credits started to roll...I wanted to pick up another script and get right back to making another movie.
We'll just say that the last film I made was what gave me my big break. I was tenured on what i would be looking for in the next movie. I wanted something that was a bit more serious. With a bigger part. A character that was on his way to greatness. So I decided to take hold and make my own movie.
So I applied myself. I fought hard. I waited. I did everything possible to be this character and make this movie the way that I NEEDED it to be.
And finally, I'm here...I made it. The last movie I made was a major flop. It's in the bargain bin at Sav-on for .99.
Although, this is just the start of something I can feel is spectacular, I won't say that this is the greatest movie ever made. But it is, a good movie.
I understand what it takes to play this part. I am the hero. I am the man that saves the day.
And now, at the close of this year...it's all finally taking off. Everything is going according to schedule.
I put the last year behind me. I am more than happy to see it go and look forward to this masterpiece that I am about to partake in.
Magnificence doesn't sum up the words...
More so....OSCAR WORTHY!!"
