Experimental!
Unfortunately, I had to miss the screening of Baadasssss! tonight for personal reasons. As a consolation prize, you get to read a really awful, but hopefully marginally amusing, screenplay I’ve written.
As you all should know by now, I hate experimental films almost without exception. While it’s true that the experimental screenwriting class I’m taking this semester has helped me to appreciated certain experimental techniques, I still hate it overall.
And what do I do when I hate things? I make fun of them.
So, without further ado, here is the first and probably only screenplay I will put on the blog. You can read it here.
P.S.: I used the name of my old pal johnl’s love thang, Yeo-Reum, as the head Vietnamese soldier, because I had it in my head that she was Vietnamese and didn’t know any other female Vietnamese names. I realize she’s Korean, but I’m way too lazy to change the name. Sue me.
Update! Here’s what I learned today: when you type #333 in as your background color, some browsers interpret this as #030303 (which is black), and others interpret it as #303030 (which is dark gray). Similarly, when you type #CCC in as your text color, some browsers interpret this as #0C0C0C (which, again, is black), and others interpret it as #C0C0C0 (which is light gray). I have no idea why this is, but I’ve learned my lesson, and the troubles those of you were having reading my script should be fixed.

damn yous
I have been all interested in entries again and you fail to blog on a daily basis. I’m sure there are some political rallies by palestinian students against jews or something, GO SEEK THEM OUT FOR MY BLOG READING PLEASURE.

WTH… When I first read this entry I totally missed the first paragraph, I have no idea why, I just passed over it and grabbed the screenplay…
BUT I SAW YOU SPECIFICALLY MENTION BAADASSSSSSSSSSSSSS AND THAT IT WOULD BE BLOGGED, BECAUSE IT WAS SO DAMN GOOD AND BECAUSE ACTUAL CELEBRITIES WOULD BE INVOLVED. “PERSONAL REASONS” ISN’T GOING TO CUT IT AS AN EXCUSE.
For all we know that translates to “felt like staying home and masturbating”, or “I felt like staying home and listening to julianna hatfield while huddled in my dark room secretly wishing I could feel all moody and irrational from the PMS and cramps”… GOOD LORD MAN, WE JUST DON’T KNOW.
I WAS IN THE MOOD FOR THE BEGINNINGS OF A LIFETIME OBSESSION OF REPORTING CELEBRITY GOSSIP FROM A MAN WHO HAS ISSUES.
I feel all weird now, you snatched my dreams away and replaced them with…lesser dreams…or something. Don’t make me rampage up and down the halls of your blog as they burn while I rage and thunder about like John Goodman. haha no, I just know you tried to remember what that movie reference is from, and it’s not from King Ralph no matter how much you want it to be.
