christ666's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The napkin read, \"Back door beauty?\"... the question mark was emphasized... How many other people used to think high school was just a little while ago, and then you think about it, ponder, then realize you were a sophomore 5 years ago? Me too. I watch a lot of orchestra performances from those years. Man, that was a blast. I watch those and become depressed that my life isn't much more. I've been getting really down lately. No friends plus Texans who stare equal melancholy. Most people don't know that, but this, NF + TWS = :(, is the actual linear equation for sadness. But what else can I do? Got to be supportive. Got to make sacrifices. Sacrifices can be hard, but it will pay off. We're moving back in two years, so that will be nice. My metal collection is rebuilding itself, and my awesome film collection is just beautiful to look at. Recent additions: Boiler Room oh and by the way, Snakes on a Plane? Easily the best film of 2006. I mean, it's got action, horror, thiller, comedy, romance, drama all rolled into one! It is just the most hilarious fucking movie I've ever seen. "I've had it with these mother fucking snakes on this mother fucking plane!!!" "Fucking Bitch, get off my dick!!!" Come on, I smell Oscar. Even though I just read the nominees list, and didn't see that entry anywhere, I know the academy will send it's appreciation. Nobody on my buddy list writes in their diaries anymore. I probably only get to read 4 diary entries a month. And that's from 4 different people. What happened? Time caught up with us? Did we all mature? Are we too good for Diaryland? Wrong, Diaryland is too good for us! Shit, with the amount of people I've pissed off, I wouldn't believe anyone still reads my entries. But, I keep writing, because in the end, Christ666 is and always will be a diary. Or an online journal, that sounds more masculine. My hair is getting pretty long. I'm contemplating cutting it. I just don't think I'll have use for it in a metal band anytime soon. I hate people too much here to start a band, and all the musical talent I've been around is still in Idaho. Although, I've been seriously contemplating an Elegy reunion. And this time, it won't suck. Not one bit. But who knows. I mean, remarkably I've started writing music again. Something I was done with. And I've probably got three new songs in the mix, including the return of some really really old shit. I think it's time to be the musician I've always claimed I was... But I'm also a future filmmaker. It's gonna happen someday. This new flick is actually harder to write. The first just spilled heavily onto the keyboard. But I'm trying to top what I wrote 160 pages ago, and start with something unpredictable, and yet beautiful. It's a hard feat. I don't think I've ever mentioned the premises of either films. The first is a combination of my expriences in healthcare, and my sister's experience in Thailand. A doctor, completely lost after the death of his first patient spends two years with depression, drug abuse, and stunted emotional development. But after an oppurtunity arises to join a doctor's without borders program, he finds reason for living in the country of Thailand. But with his emotional attachment to his patients, his collegues, a greedy medical group sponsering the clinic they work, and the rise of an insurgency threatening all their lives, he finds all the things he thought were important, completely trivial, and all the things he thought never existed, were actually right in front of him. It needs another draft or two, but I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out. And as I've said before, anybody wanting a copy of the screenplay can get one if they let me know, and give me an email address. This next one is a little harder. It's ultimately a love story. I know right? Big fucking surprise. But, this is different. Everyone knows that I love romantic comedies and dramas, but if you ever watch them, they rarely feel like real life. I'm writing a movie about a man living in Los Angeles, married with a daughter and a married woman living in New York who coincidentally keep running into each other at airports during their business trips. I know, not likely to happen, but just wait!!! They begin to fall in love, but with their marriages, her commitment to work and his daughter, their affair will be displayed as real and bitter as they are in real life. But here's the kicker! They both love romance movies! Crazy? Just wait, as the movie unfolds, the audience will realize that thier seemingly "real lives" turn out to be part of a romance story similar to the ones they idolize. But it's hard to write. I've already cast the leading female however! Stephellephanie Parkensteinburgerson Jr! And I'm writing this with her in mind. But I also wanted to share with you some of my other movie ideas. Check this out, A remake of Weird Science. Hopefully without the teen comedy elements of today, adding a little John Hughes charm, and working it around intuitive writing. Not just funny writing, I'm talking some smart comedy. A comic book movie. I would absolutely adore working on a comic flick from beginning of production all the way to distribution. A movie resembling my family, my story. I know what you're thinking, I don't have much of a story. That's true. But I would have to add some good stuff to make it pretty. A film about a central character at the grips of death, a son who moves far away, coming home surprisingly, finding things he missed. Siblings fighting for their marriages and there sense of home. I've definetely got one of those in me. I have seriously contemplated writing a new screenplay for an epic musical, readaptation of Wizard of Oz. The '39 film will always be a classic, and this idea, if ever it found it's way onto the silver screen, would be horrendously compared to the original, and I accept that. But what I want to bring is all the things that we couldn't do back then. Not just special fx, but character development, story, and intensity. Make the film a movie for everybody. Borrow elements from the original book, still include those musical numbers from the Judy Garland film, add a beautiful musical score, and add everything we've learned about storytelling today. For instance, "Over the Rainbow" is such an underrated song. It's sung without it's full potential. Even in the '39 film, it's lacking an element I think is truly moving. The song is not just about being bored in a mundane world. Wouldn't it be beautiful if the song was a cry for help? If Dorothy just felt so alone and so different that she strikes that emotion inside her, starting with "Somewhere...", finding the courage to say everything she wanted to say, then bursting out in a sirenic voice, tears streaming down her face at the climax of the song. That to me shows just how powerful this movie could be. It wouldn't be without it's comical moments, and it's frightening moments. And most importantly, it would be full of beautiful colors, green probably more dominant. What do you think? I have one quick plea, anyone still reading this diary, please just leave an I do in either my notes or my guestbook. I just want to see. I should probably get back to work now. This is most likely the longest entry I've written in four years. But it felt great. I also updated my profile, severely. Read it. -Flower 2:20 a.m. - 2007-01-26 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
