"Out of the frying pan and into the fire"
Sonuvabitch. Brick isn't coming to Indy this week. It's expanded a whopping FIVE theaters, but none are in Indy like they had originally planned. They'll continue expanding at this painfully slow rate until people stop seeing it, so... there's hope for us, but... man, I'm tellin' you right now, if I don't get to see this movie on the big screen, I'm gonna cut myself. I really don't wanna become one of those people that cut themselves, but I'm gonna start cutting myself in the arm if I don't get my Brick.
Anyway, um... okay actually before I start in with the whole "update on the movie" thing, let me make this easier on myself and give it a title. Joe wants to call it "Electric Moonlight" right now, but I absolutely hate that name. It's really pretentious and says absolutely ZIP about the story he's telling. In the script there's this guy at the party (the movie takes place in this big fancy house where these wealthy eccentrics are throwing this bizarre party) who's playing a guitar under this neon lamp shaped like a moon. Huh. Well, I don't have any other ideas right now as to what we should call it, but I won't let the movie be called "Electric Moonlight". So for now, whenever I talk about it here, it'll be called the "Creepy Twins" story. You don't need to know why right now. I don't feel like summarizing it.
So, update. Right. Well, we're in the heat of casting the "Creepy Twins" project right now. I've been posting our casting call sheet all over the local internet communities... of which there are two. *sigh* This city...
But I'll be going to Mass Ave. and posting flyers near the theatres and inside Mass Ave. video (damn I have not been there in AGES, it seems like). Lucky for us, though, Joe said that he and Woody already have about 40 of their friends hyped about it and very willing to be in it. So we at least have them to fall back on. None of them are actors though. And, yeah, we'll need those 40 people for the party scenes, but we need three GOOD actors to play the three leads if we're really going to pull this off. Otherwise, this could fall flat on its face.
We do have ONE actor that we'll be shooting screen tests with sometime in the next week. Which... haha, yeah, I kinda told Joe that I owned a Digital 8 camera. It wasn't a complete lie, I mean... I WILL own a D8 within the next few days, but that's only because I ordered it last night... for around $600 (!!!!). Chris is paying half though, since we wouldn't even be needing to buy one if his hadn't melted in that fucking BUS FIRE. Not his fault, I know, but still...
I'll also be buying some lenses for the camera (wide, telephoto) and some filters too. Jeez-us flipping Christ. Also, the special contact lenses for The All-Nighters are gonna setme back another $80 or so, and the false teeth cost me $46. Oh, and I'll be buying at least ONE high-powered lamp within the next few weeks... Wow. So this is why people need money...
Alright, enough. Have a good one, folks.
