Howdy my bountiful y plenteous readers! Been awhile since I last posted up here on my vblog. Sad to report I still have NOT gotten enough followers….to even attempt a Crowd Funder for my INDIE film I still strongly desire to SHOOT…and enter into INDIE film festivals.
However, every so often, there are BIG NEWS stories, that encourage me, that I am NOT as dumb, or deluded, as many may think I am.
Take, for example, this STRIKE…by Actors Union & Screenwriters
Yesssss! There’s Matt Damon, star in flicks such as The Departed
In which, a whole bunch of A list stars, pulling down 20…30 million, or more buckaroos…each…
All insist (the characters they act…that is)
That they ‘ain’t the RAT’.
Here’s a short on You Tube, that May NOT even be allowed on my little ole vblog…to refresh memories….please excuse the ‘cussing’….remember, I’m NOT the screenwriter(s) who wrote it, keep in MIND
However, a glimmer of HOPE for all us aspiring INDIE film makers.
Take a wild guess which newly released flick, came in 2nd in Box Office returns, last week?
Here’s a hint….Indiana Jones (Episode 5) took first place…’but disappointed as it cost like $300 million to make it.
Tell you what….I’m NOT even going to tell you what clocked in 2nd in Box Office…I’ll allow any readers who have ‘inquiring minds’ to look it up for themselves.
One clue…The story is about some people FREEING children from the exploitation of Sex Traffickers!
One final comment, for this ‘lengthy vblog’….I’ve grown a sort of affinity for this Viet Nam vet pilot…
Who, in that script…went from ‘washed up, drunken, wasted vet’
To a hero…taking out ‘mean old aliens’ who are looking to take over the ‘earth’
I’ve been saying it….THIS….for about 10 years, also…
The MOVIE INDUSTRY needs a RADICAL MAKE OVER!
Still crazy after all these years, (to borrow the title of an golden oldie, Paul Simon tune)
