Thanks! I thought it'd be an average story.
Actually, I'm a director, not a screenwriter Amateur films of course, I haven't made any yet but you can learn about my first film here: www.geocities.com/bwthemovie -

you're an amateur director with no movies on the record?
Let me guess, you're 13, you own a camera and you and some silly friends of yours are making a movie so that you might impress some girl you like or maybe to become "cool".
Yeah sounds like it, especially considering your site being on GEOSHITTIES. -

Hello. I'm Cappy's (dbfan12's) partner in crime. The screenwriter. Who never writes anything. Because Cappy cramps my creativity. Lol. But seriously, why are so grumpy? Some shove a broom up your butt or something? Making dumb home movies is fun. Even though I don't like alot of Keenan ideas, it's still fun and SOMEWHAT of a learning experience, considering someday I want to write for movies seriously. (Books too, like Elmore Leonard. He's the best.) So you can just go sit on a tack. And no, it's not to impress girls. Good idea though. I could show off my ripped abs. One more thing, I doubt most of Hollywood's good directors and writers were all that normal in High School; they prolly did some similar things to. Look at Peter Jackson for God's sake! His looks scream nerd. Awesome director, and his adapted screenplay for LotR rocks. So once again, go sit on a tack.

"Look at Peter Jackson for God's sake! His looks scream nerd. Awesome director, and his adapted screenplay for LotR rocks."
His looks scream nerd? And YOU'RE a writer? Jesus, I weep for the future of film. I'm a film student myself, but I am 20 years old and in college. I hate to be brutally honest, but picking up a camera and filming things impromptu does not make you a "filmmaker," no matter what the artsy people say.
Film is a theater art, which has rules and structure like everything in life. You need to learn that stuff to be considered a filmmaker, at least to some critics. And don't call yourself a director if you've never directed anything thats crazy! Same for screenwriting. Write something.
Also, the music on your website is tacky and annoying.
Waynes World 3 is a terrible idea.
P.S. Peter Jackson did not adapt LotR by himself. He did it along with two other writers. Return of the King BLEW anyway. -

Oh come one lighten up you can def. call yourself a filmmaker, I mean here's a nice quote from Robert Rodriguez:
"Okay, so you wanna be a film-maker?
(Class choruses 'YES')
Wrong! You ARE a film-maker. The moment you think about that you want to be a fillm-maker you're that. Make yourself a business card that says you're a film-maker, pass them out to your friends, soon as you get that over with and you've got it in your mind that you're one you'll be one, you'll start thinking like one. Don't dream about being a film-maker, you are a film-maker. Now let's get down to business."
Seriously, there are a lot of people becoming famous in the movie world and not going to film school. It's almost an archaic anyway, yeah you get to learn about the functions of a camera and etc, but real world training is just as cool if not better. It seems Jackson himself didn't do film school, nor did Quentin, Spielberg quit and Rodriguez didn't go, Lucas went and look where he is as did F.F. Coppola and his greatest achivement was 30 years ago
Return of the King was one of the best movies ever, so what Jackson didn't adapt it himself, he didn't write the plot nor the story nor the book either. Doesn't mean he's a bad filmmaker.
I do agree that Waynes World 3 right out of the box wouldn't be a good thing, but if maybe Mike and Dana got together and started doing skits again and re-working it a bit, meaning updating and etc, it might work. It might -
jayk1983 — 22 years ago(March 30, 2004 06:52 PM)
Abolutely not, Mike and Dana could not make a Waynes World 3 that would live up to it's prequels ever. And don't put words in my mouth. I never said you had to go to film school to be a filmmaker; I simply said you can't run around with your teenage buddies and consider yourselves filmmakers. That quote you posted from whatever movie it was was ridiculous.
Also, TONS of people would argue with your statement that Return of the King was the best movie ever. It wasn't as good as the first two and the end was terrible and drawn out 45 minutes too long. -

First of all, ever read the LotR books?
Second of all, I pretty much agree with what you say about filmmaking, I don't consider myself a real filmmaker, sorry if that post contained misleading braggadacio. I'm just highly interested in filmmaking, enough so that I'll prolly study it college, and I'm LEARNING about screen writing. I can say with most confidence that when it comes to fiction, short stories and novellas and the like, that I can prolly write knots around you, when so inspired. I said Peter Jackson's looks scream nerd because they do, I was pointing out to a guy who made fun of a friend of mine on the board that prolly alot of filmmakers are nerdy kids, and I used him for an example because most people know LotR and Peter Jackson, and he's an awesome example.
So. Good luck with your whole high and mighty snobby movie opinon thing.

jayk1983, didnt you go to kindergarden? they always teach you 1-colors 2- sharing 3- "If you don't have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all."
P.S.- seeing as its been four years sinse your last post, how was your graduation and what are you making? anything iv'e seen?
P.P.S.- If you are gonna be in movies youre gonna have to learn to use some gooderer(LOL) gramer. "That quote you posted from whatever movie it WAS WAS ridiculous." Dont worry. Youll learn. and another thing. how would YOU feel if you made 2 seccussful movies and was told that you couldnt make another?
Remember the Soviet Union? They quit after watching an uncut 'Delta Force' marathon on TNT. -

If you're making home movies already, all it's going to do is better your chances of becoming a successful film maker. Keep doing it, and yes, if you're making films, even home films, that would make you a film maker.

A lot of folks have posted stuff like this - here was my response:
I'm sorry but I don't buy that plot sir. Garth would've totally stayed current regarding technology - at the time of the flick the internet was inching its way in. There's no way he wouldnt catch on to the audio/visual mess of internet of today. In fact, I'm sure he was even one of those dudes that was using a modem simply to talk back and forth to a select group of geeks, as well possinly useing it to buy movie tickets. Garth would stay current regarding tech stuff, and Wayne would be the show's viral, guerilla marketing guy, with his outgoing personality. A better, and quite realistic storyline would be something having to do with their access station shutting down do to lack of support from the town and lack of funding from the cable company - therefore they turn to the internet, to Garth's delight. Wayne would certainly get a myspace page, where he would pimp out the show to much younger fans, what with young teenagers' fascination with 80's and early 90's pop culture coming into fashion, it seems. That reminds me - beep selling re-print Ninja Turtles t-shirts at Hot Topic - I want a WayneStock shirt!
One of the reasons I love Wayne's World so much is not just being able to relate to the charactors and culture, but also because I work with video and in TV, and have done stuff in public access cable. If these flicks have a sort of cult following, I would hope that word of how cool this "franchise" is gets around to younger people and it becomes a trendy thing - not that that would really be a positive thing but when I see TMNT, Transformers and The Goonies pastered all over new merchandise, I wonder where the Wayne's World stuff is.
Somthing new I have to add, regarding how you think they would be polar opposites today - I think it is a funny concept for a comedy sketch, but as a whole movie it wouldnt work. Its kind of a one note gag. I think its more realistic, when you look at how strong both Wayne and Garth's personalities are, that Wayne's outgoing nature and knack for witty verbiage and Garth shyness would either have gotten stronger, or tamed down a bit since 93. I do agree with the concept of them still dressing the same and listening to the same music - what would now be definably classic rock. -

I was under the impression that Mike Myers (successful post-SNL, see Austin Powers franchise) and Dana Carvey (unsuccessful post-SNL, mostly support parts) weren't exactly the best of friends after WW2. That might complicate things a bit.

thealmightypielord — 21 years ago(April 12, 2004 11:02 AM)
yep Mike Mysers and Dana Carvey pretty much dispise each other making it very hard to so a sequal I heard Mike Myers joke in an interview that ww3 would only go ahead if they filmed their parts seperately and cut them together at the end could you imagine that?
