In reference to my post yesterday, I made it out to the movie last night and yes, it’s a really good movie! I need to do some homework and find out when it releases so I can talk about it. I will say it’s a solid film. It maintains a degree of obscurity as to what genre it is mostly because it fits into a few genres very comfortably and NOT because it’s oddly written or just disjointed. It’s an interesting and well crafted story. And superbly executed. Honestly, it looks to be about 97% complete so, ideally this film will come out soon so I can talk about it.
I haven’t fucked up through today enough yet to have much to write at this moment. I blew an interview because I didn’t get home in time. And of course I had to run out and get things done to try and manage an internet connection so that I could take the interview so, of course everything fell apart five minutes into the day. It’s the Story of my life, as they say. I am also working on a short film that highlights some of my more traumatic and painful life experiences. And because it’s me, the characters on screen will be portrayed with pipe cleaner people, origami models, and action figures with no or at least super ambiguous copyright concerns. The idea with that is being mentally ill as I am, distorting certain aspects of our memories is a common used coping mechanism. And if I’m going to be re-enacting my experiences of being beaten and robbed by my “mother”, you can bet your ass I’m going to have fun with it. I have a couple of the pipe cleaner people made and I’ve started writing it. That’s about as far as I am on that one right now.
I think this is seriously my ‘thing’ now. I get on here daily whining and begging for a job on Stargate. Once again, if anyone reading this happens to know Martin Gero, please get this to him so he can what I’m doing and I can talk him into giving me a job writing Stargate.
One kind of big thing never really dealt with is the alien ship in the episode titled Grace. The Prometheus encounters an unfamiliar shift and we only see a handful of shots of its exterior and nothing of the people on board. Another people in the Milky Way capable of interstellar travel is certainly worth more screen time than this. I have considered from time to time that it might be good for that ship to belong to the mimic aliens from the episode Foothold. Now, though, with a new series we could probably expand on both peoples. The mimics clearly have reason to be not-so-fond of humans and in particular SGC personnel. One of my fantasies has always been a more ongoing conflict with them. And then of course, new people in the galaxy with space ships is ALWAYS fun storytelling.
So, yeah, here’s my latest example to demonstrate my affection for the Stargate franchise. Tomorrow, I’ll write a little of how to tie back in Stargate Universe.
