Project Greenlight

[Iniquity]

Yeah I know it belongs elsewhere but figured it would get most coverage here. Tonite on BRAVO channel is the Premier of Project Greenlight. For those that arent familiar with it, the show was created to give a "contest winner" amateur movie maker the chance to make a movie with expert advice, and MGM money. Tonites season premier at 9pm est. is the beginning of the "lets make a horror movie" series. From start to finish a would be movie maker gets advice from WES CRAVEN among others, to make a new horror movie.

It's replaying now on the east coast. I'm gonna have to watch it.

you know, this is silly, but all I can really think about when I hear project greenlight is...

what

[AUSTIN316426808]

damn! I forgot about that, I guess it'll rerun sometime before the next show.

[Gren the cake]

oh shit. its on for 8 more minutes. I KNEW ID MISS IT!

:Pw well im gona hsower in a bit , then im baking a cheesecake! i bought a fuckin groovy spring form pan and im DIEING to try it

[newb]

Its about time they put a "realty show" on TV that was interesting and not about singing off key or eating horse intestines.

I'm surprised more people on this forum haven't commented on this show, seeing that it involves the whole process of scripting and making a horror movie. The opening show dealt with picking a script and a director.If you follow Inquity's link you can get the specifics.

And even if your anti-Ben Affleck, [ I could never get the concept of generalizing hatred for a particular actor, sure they could make a crappy movie but to hold that against them from then on is stupid IMO ], anyway....the panal of judges consist of the aforemention BA as well as Matt Damon and Wes Craven and a gaggle of studio execs.

Its interesting to see the thought process of these people and how the studio has pretty much the last word [ and you wonder why there is so many remakes and sequels..the allmighty $$$] Ben, Matt and even Wes Craven were against the script picked but the studio people spoke.I was kinda hoping for the "time travel" script to be chosen.

It would be cool if we here could get our own panal of discussion going after each episode.....just a thought.

[Vodstok]

I may have to take a look next time it is on....


And i hate Ben Affleck because he is the devil, bobby bouche!

I'm a really bad reader and I love video games. I think that t.v is the one of our worst drug addiction. We would have a better earth if people didn't watch so much t.v

people quote t.v all the time . I think its sad. We act like people on shows because we can't be ourselves anymore. (everyone will deny it) but its true.

[meetthecreeper]

I watched it and enjoyed the show, I hate reality shows but this one deals in horror so I had to watch.

1. I have a question? How does a sci fi script make into the final 3 in a show that is supposed to be about horror? The time travel script sounded kool but I didnt think it could be horror.

2. I think they picked the right director, the guy may have a communication problem but I dont necessarily think that means he has a lack of vision. The short films of his that I saw I really enjoyed and thought they were interesting and above a freshman filmmaker.

3. The script "Feast" sounds like a B movie, straight to video film. Of course Dimension likes it, they have ZERO vision and are only looking at what is easily marketable and is going to be bring about a quick buck. Maybe I am wrong but a campy horrorcom that takes place in a roadhouse in the middle of nowhere sounds a little to much to me like "Tremors" which I thought was a great film. I forsee alot of rewriting going on and the original script being gutted.

4. Wildcard sounded interesting, I was really disappointed that they didnt pick it and I didnt get to hear more about it. Wes seemed to like it, I believe I heard him say that he would like to direct it. I dont understand why they would bring him on board if the studio isnt going to listen to his input. I wonder how he feels about putting his name on something that he may or may not be comfortable with.

[newb]

I missed the first couple of minutes so I wasen't sure what "Wild Card" was all about.Wes Craven did indeed like the script, so much in fact he bought it, according to the blog on the PGL website.

I was also rooting for the director they picked,even though he does seem a little odd.I believe he is Clu Gulager's[Return of the Living Dead ] son.Its going to be interesting watching the studio people butt heads with Matt Damon, whom really seems to want to make a good movie.

Craven bought the script???? No shit, I could tell that he really liked it. Hell I think that is better than having Dimension pick it up.

I didnt even make the connection with Gulager, he seems to be a little quirky but I think that he is going to a great job with the shitty script that they handed him.

I am not a big fan of Damon/Affleck but they seem like they are really interested in making a good film.

Did you catch the part where Damon tells studio execs, that 'you have the master of horror sitting 2 feet away and he is telling you that this script fucking sucks' he was speaking of "Feast"

I think it is going to be an interesting season watching these guys argue over how the film is going to be made.

That was a great line from Damon. I think the script writers are in for a rude awakening. From the looks of the previews for next week there are gonna be some major rewrites.

can't wait 2 see project greenlight. ibet it will
be pretty interesting.

I totally agree, I got the feeling that also. If I was the writer I would kind of expect some changes in my script but from what I see I think it is going to be major surgery.

I remember someone saying on the show that they had like 17 or 18 characters in the first 20 mins.

Sounds like a miniseries not a hour and a half movie.

Way too many characters to develop so that will probably be the first to go.

Plus I think it would be difficult to make a monster horror film on a low budget without making it look cheesy and stoopid.

I am unsure what CGI cost but am sure that you cant get quality CGI done on this kind of budget.

[Vodstok]

I watched the screenwriter and director episodes last night...


"Feat" sounds like an even shittier "From dusk til dawn". the writer who did the talking was obnoxious. anyone who says "Rock on" and means it should be shot. The idea just blows, i am in 100% agreement with craven on this...

Wes was the one who said that it intropduced 20 characters in the first 15 minutes....


The dimension execs piss me off. I was furious listening to them try to convince themseleves that the script was "pretty good" and that they werent just signing it because it was certain to make back what they put into it... fucking greedy assholes.

Ben Affleck is a bit of a pussy. you can tell he wanted to agree with matt, but was to afraid to voice an opinion that was too extreme one way or another.

Matt Damon has my unending repsect. he has balls, and i have agreed with everything he has said so far.

What kills me is that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote a movie that won a fucking oscar. As much as i cant stand Ben, they both routinely make blockbusters, but the "geniuses" at Dimension who have been churning out quite a bit of shit for a while, refuse to listen to them.

And wes craven... Granted, i dont particularly care for most of what he has done, he knows his shit, and i would definately take his advice if he offered it. Plus, he is just damn likeable. he and matt damon are the only people on the show that really seem dedicate dto making something good. Ben waffles too much and the rest of the peopel dont give a fuck unless they think the project will make them a ton of money (which matt points out is NOT the goal of the show......)

"Rock On" Does anybody even say that shit anymore????

I agree shoot the Fooker in the back of the head for saying shit like that.

I think these 2 writers are 2 juvenile to write a decent script.

[Vodstok]

agreed.

This looks like it is going to be a case of good director, shitty script. You can gold-plate a turd, but in the end, it is still shit....

I watched it again over the weekend and like I said before....the script writers are in for a realty check. There gonna run the first episode tuesday night at 8, then the new episode at 9.

[Vodstok]

i will have to watch that. i hope things go well for the director, but i hope to hell the the writers crash and burn...

Figured I would give it a bump, dont forget to watch tonite.

Back to back episodes tonight. Maybe we can get more people involved in the conversation. This is a movie forum after all.

I'm watching the second episode now and so far it looks like the director they picked [ whom I liked from the beginning ] is headed for a meltdown. The dude had better start articulating his ideas.

[newb]

Henry Rollins at a casting call.

[Vodstok]

Holy shit... john gulagan is a bitch....

Not only is he completely incapable of conveying a simple idea, but he apparently got involved to try and give his freinds and family their big break....

He will be terrible and i really do hope they fire him.

[newb]

I actually like his father Clu,[ Into the Night, Hunters Blood,Return of the Living Dead ] and it looks like he WILL be in this according to IMDB, as well as Henry Rollins and Jason Mewes.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0426459/

[ENTITY2000]

i think they picked the wrong director i would have went w/ the first guy adams i think? anyway this is going to be very interesting! gulager can't seem to take control of the situation
he has no leadership abilities at all. i think it is gonna flop. i'm gonna keep watching maybe he'll proveme wrong. god i hope so.:D

I love Rollins, he is a pretty kool guy. He was at a book store one time doing poetry readings. Its kind of funny to see a guy like him reading poetry, not that there is anything wrong with it, it is just that people see him in a stereotypical way if you get my meaning.

I knew I knew Gulagers father from somewhere. I wonder if that has anything to do with the reason why they picked John.

I wouldnt sell out Gulager just yet I think that he needs a little time to sort things out and get himself into the groove. It is his first feature film, and besides that it seems to me that he has lived his life, or most of it anyways, as somewhat of a hermit, and doesnt communicate well with people that he is not familiar with.

I am sort of like that, I am quiet until I know ya and then I only say something when I think it is important. I really dont see the point in useless babble just to fill the air with conversation.

I felt like the casting director was a total bitch, and didnt take criticism well. ALso I think that the producers are a little on the whinny side. WHo the fook do they think they are working with,Scorcese???? Give the poor slob, half of shirt hanging out, a break already.

I am sure that every director started out this way and everybody thought that working with him or her was a big pain in the ass.

I thought that trying to cast the whole family in the film was a bit over the top and they need to reign in that shit right now.

I also think that this script sucks, and can only imagine what other shit they recieved if this is the best of the best that was handed to them. Sorry this script sounds like Tremors in a way, maybe I am wrong we will see.

These 2 writers are alreadly getting agents and meeting with lawyers and such, I think they are in for a rude awakening.

All and all, I think what I have always thought about people in the movie business, they are a bunch of money hungry assheads and dont give 2 shits about making a quality picture just about making money.

[Vodstok]

I agree, the script sounds like shit, but gulager has already shown himself to be comkpletely selfish. He wasnt even interested in hearing anyone else's opinion on actors, he just wanted his freinds and that was that.

If i was the casting director, i would have told him to be flexible, or we would take the decision making away from him completely. he ISNT scorcese, he doesnt have the clout to make the final decisions on everything.

He is pissing away an opportunity, and based on what he is showing on tv, he is probably killing any chance he would have to direct for someone else. Why would any company hire a nobody with a reputation for being a pain in the ass who waffles when asked a question?

[newb]

Granted....so far he looks like a big doofus and a wee bit on the eccentric side. But he wouldn't be the first director to fit into that catergory.
But like you say...this is his first opportunity and it doesn't thus far look to good.

[newb]

Just a little BUMP to remind those who are watching this. Tonight at 8.

[newb]

After watching this show I don't know why anybody would want to get involved in the movie making process.
The studio wants a good movie but their not willing to fund it . The producers have to go to outside sources to get the $$$.
At least the director is coming around a bit which is good because I think if they let him do the movie he wants it could be very good. Keep it dark instead of going with a horrody or comedorror......???!!whatever.

i agree, i haven't really seen a good comedy/horror
neways i think it also should be dark that's the only
way any horror should be displayed.:)

[meetthecreeper]

John seems to be coming out of his shell a little and speaking up so that is a good thing.

I think Dimension has pretty much cast the film and isnt going to let John pick who he wants to be in it, although I think his wife would make a good Tuffy.

I suspect to look for more of the same, 'we want name recognition over someone with substance' type thing in the coming weeks ahead.

John is the director, everyone should be guiding him and following his direction, I would think thats why they call him the director.

I still say that the casting director is a typical Hollywood bitch, and above criticism.

Hopefully a little more interesting things to come next week as this last week wasnt very good as far as things go IMO.

[newb]

I won't say here because it would be a bit of a spoiler for those who want to follow this as it happens week by week, but if you go to the link I supplied in another post, it tells you who has been casted.

Although it looks like just a handful of us are watching it. By the way....where the hell has Vod been.

[NirvanaNole]

I think the casting director is doing a good job. She has NO POWER to cast the movie. She is there on behalf of Dimension/Project Greenlight to help out the movie. The series will be over if this movie bombs. The director is completely out of line. The fucker doesn't even know what nepotism means. And comparing himself to guys like Woody Allen is a joke. The guy films weddings and thinks he should have the power proven Hollywood directors have. What planet does he live on? Oh yeah, he lives on the planet where a 37-year old guy still has his dad pay his bills. :rolleyes:

The fat writer with a goatee is a complete douche bag. The other writer isn't too bad, but I hope they never sell another script in their lives.

I must be the only one that doesn't hate Affleck and Damon. Some people on this site hate them out of jealousy. They are two rich, good looking guys that fuck a ton of hot chicks. GET OVER IT! I find it funny that people on this site think Affleck can't act but think Bruce Campbell is a God. Bruce is one of the worst actors in the history of the world. Affleck may suck at acting, but most horror actors that get props on this site suck even MORE than Affleck.

From everything I've read on the two, Affleck is the smarter one of the two and the better writer, while Damon is the much better actor. They both deserve props for standing up to Dimension as much as they could, because Dimension had the final say on the matter.

I love the show. I'll watch every episode. I hope they fire the director and hire a real director. That fucker should be thrown out by the balls for wanting those idiots he wanted to cast. His Goddaughter might be the WORST "actress" I've ever seen. His GF of 20 years is a decent actress but is nothing to look at. EVERY "horror movie" produced by a film company these days has hot women in the leading female role. If he doesn't comprehend that fact, he should take his ass back to filming weddings and give the chance to someone that is willing to play within Hollywood's rules.

The director acts like he is fucking Spielberg. At least the writers, as big of jackasses as they are, realize their place and are willing to work hard under those rules. Even Craven is at the will of a major studio when big bucks are on the line, and he is one of the top five horror directors of all time.

The director is a fucking moron and, for the future of Project Greenlight, I hope they fire him.

That fookin bitch casting director goes behind the director and producers back to get her friend cast in the part of heroine.

And she accuse Gulager of Nepotism.

Ava or whatever the fook her name is, I cant even remember because her performance wasnt worth staying awake for, SUCKED!!!!!!

If this wasnt Project Greenlight she would be selling on the Strip right now cause the producers and director would have had her ass fired.

"I wouldnt have pushed for her if I didnt believe in her," what a crock of shit, she and whatshername are good friends, figures BITCH.

THe creatures looked kind of kool but without a strong cast especially the hero, whoever it is, this film is going to go straight to video.

This is why I hate major production studios being involved with anything. ' Oh we want to get behind her because she is so HHHOOTTT' yea well I got one word for a film like that BARBWIRE, what a piece of cinematic crap.

That was some shaddy shit, but it wasn't nepotism. If I was one of the producers, I would have tried to get Craven to look at her audition and tell Dimension that she sucks. They just want her because she is hot and on the OC or some other dumb show. Navi is hot as hell, but she fucking sucked in those two auditions.

I thought the creature looked pretty cool. The fake dick had me laughing my ass off.

I wonder who they'll get as hero. I hope it isn't Marky Mark, I hate that fucker.

If I wasn't a gentleman I would call that casting director a c**t. How about twat....is that as offensive?From the previews for next week, it looks like the director has a complete meltdown.I hope not.....I still have hope that he's gonna make a good movie.

I bet it is a B movie and I bet John is a complete failure in the future. That guy has no people skills and his "talent" shouldn't have him in this position.

[AUSTIN316426808]

I saw the commercial for the next episode where John says he's uncomfortable with any kind of human interaction.

Maybe it's just me but it doesn't make much sense to pursue a career in which everyday for the duration of production you have to tell everybody what to do,how,when and why to do it if you aren't comfortable with human interaction.

[AUSTIN316426808]

I noticed when discussing the lead they were considering Sean Penn and Ben Affleck, aren't they in the 10-20 million range?

Its kind of hard to give people a vision of what you want when people tell you that everytime you want to change something they start bitchin.

John wants to change how something is shot, everybody is whining.

The actors and or actresses had to sit around for 9 hours before they had something to do, aaawwww poor babies, go cry in your fookin trailer. Ridiculous how spoiled these people are, they are sitting around doing nothing, they have to play pretend for 5 mins in front of the camera, and all the while getting paid for it and quite well I might add.

I wish I got paid for sitting around doing nothing.

Note to hollywood celebs, shut the fook up, the rest of the world only wishes that they had half as good as you.

It seems to me that John has very little control and the rest of the Dimension crew that is supposed to be managing the set and time has their heads up their asses.

They were given a ridiculous timeline, a shitty script, and some actors and actresses with an attitude, if I were John I would get frustrated too.

No actually I would go fookin post office on these people, they are supposed to be having fun.

The producers made some comments that John is doing a great job, its everyone else and their elitist attitudes.



IMO of course.

[newb]

I agree with you 100% creeper. The funny thing is in another thread you said you hated nepotism.I also agree with that except in this case....if John was able to bring in his people, I think things would be going a bit smoother.

Its going to get pretty interesting, I think.

You know here is the thing about 'nepotism' I dont have a problem with it persay, as long as the individuals that are brought in are qualified to do the job that is required of them.

John did get to bring in his wife and father so he got something he wanted but if this is how the film making industry really is, then I will stick with Indie films.

Always a stab at the celebrities. Yeah, they suck. I used to think that we should have another "French Revolution" using celebs (yeah it's a sick idea), but now I think we should storm Hollywood, take their money, cars, clothes, houses, et cetera cage them all, then make them work customer service for the rest of their lives.

what's wrong with them not wanting to sit around? I thought they'd be spoiled if they wanted to just sit around and be paid for it, it's not being spoiled if you wanna work and not sit around.

John wants to change how something is shot, everybody is whining.

The actors and or actresses had to sit around for 9 hours before they had something to do, aaawwww poor babies, go cry in your fookin trailer. Ridiculous how spoiled these people are, they are sitting around doing nothing, they have to play pretend for 5 mins in front of the camera, and all the while getting paid for it and quite well I might add.

I wish I got paid for sitting around doing nothing.

Note to hollywood celebs, shut the fook up, the rest of the world only wishes that they had half as good as you.

It seems to me that John has very little control and the rest of the Dimension crew that is supposed to be managing the set and time has their heads up their asses.

They were given a ridiculous timeline, a shitty script, and some actors and actresses with an attitude, if I were John I would get frustrated too.

No actually I would go fookin post office on these people, they are supposed to be having fun.

The producers made some comments that John is doing a great job, its everyone else and their elitist attitudes.



IMO of course.

Are you fucking 12? That is one of the dumbest posts I've ever read on the Internet. You act like you can change a shot in a matter of minutes. There is a reason most Hollywood movies take months to film an hour and a half movie.

You act like any of those actors are getting paid a ton of money. The entire film's budget is $3 million. If you think any of them are retiring on what they get paid for Feast, you're a fucking moron.

Thats the dumbest post you ever read? you must not come here enough. Honestly, I can't believe your sticking up for those Hollywood Big wigs. Fuck them.

I have too agree with that guy alittle... Actors get paid good money (even the poor ones... if they find work) . There all jealous of John and he is doing a good job, I'm hoping he'll show all those ass faces up.

I think hollywood actors are stuck up little bitches and need to shut the fuck up.. I mean, there getting fucking paid for doing nothing. Sign me up! You don't see Henry Rollins bitching.

The only person I felt bad for was Jason Mewes.

No actually I am 35. How long have you been on the internet? a few hours?

I didnt say that you could change the shot in a matter of minutes, I said John want to change things and everybody whines.

I dont care if they are getting paid in peanuts, they are still getting paid to stand around and do nothing.

Most of us BUST OUR ASSES for pennies of what actors make.

I think most celebs are ungrateful egomaniacs.

No I dont think they are going to retire off of what they make from this film, and judging by the performances maybe they should grow up and stop playing pretend for a living.

As for the personal attack of me being a moron, good thing for you the internet is anonymous.

Are you related to that bitch who is the casting director by the way??

Either A. you work in the entertainment industry or B. you are a civil servant.

Everyone has an opinion and fuck you if you dont like mine.

No worries, I wasnt refering to kicking butt, thats another story. Honestly I could care less what her or anyone else thinks for that matter.

I just felt it was uncalled for.

[movieman64]

Not only are the actors in "Feast" being compensated to ,"sit around" they are recieving exsposure by being in the film, as well as on the televison show.

I think communication between Gullagher and the DP needs to dramitically improve, for things to go more smoothly. I still dislike the writers. They on one hand say that once it is in the hand of the Director, it is his vision, then they turn around and bitch about a scene(s) being changed/removed from the screenplay.

[AUSTIN316426808]

I finally saw last week's episode and I still have to disagree because if you think about it we're not talking about Tom Cruise or Sean Penn although nobody knows for sure but I think it's safe to say those guys and other actors of their status shouldn't have much to compain about for sitting around a few hours.

On the other hand I heard one of these guys saying they had to see their landlord to pay their rent but they just had 'em sitting their doing nothing, that sounds like someone who was being patient and then just got fed up not a spoiled hollywood actor but that's just me.


and overall I think Gulagher isn't doing a good job at all and the movie isn't going to be that good not just because of him it just doesn't look like it's going to be that good and the only money it makes besides the average B-movie income is going to be because of the attention it's getting from the show.

[movieman64]

I'm a real fan of low budget/B horror movies. I agree 3 million is pretty low in comparison to most movies, and your right this movie will make more do to the show, in the theatre, but will do even better on Video. The Director says it's slow from what he has already seen so I'm sure there is going to be some creative editing.

[AUSTIN316426808]

I don't think the budget has much to do with it, of course there is a point where it's just to low and you're not going to get anything done but Halloween was done on a 300 thousand dollar budget and was shot in a month but it's one of if not the best horror movie ever made so having 3 million shouldn't be much of a problem unless you don't know what you're doing which so far Gulagher doesn't.

[movieman64]

IMO Halloween relied a lot on the psychological aspect, not gore/FX i.e. a guy standing in the bushes. Whereas "Feast" at face value, appears to rely heavily on gore/FX, which can really eat up the cash.

It appears that Gullaghers leadership abilities are lacking, but his directorial skills are yet to be seen, as far as this project is concerned.

I'm not sure what you mean because his directorial skills are being seen on tv every Thursday night. He hasn't been a good director so far that's obvious, the only people agreeing with him are his wife and dad. If the director isn't a good leader then the movie is going to be shit, leadership ability is a directorial skill and he's shown that he doesn't have it.


p.s.
If you're right and it is depending on gore and FX then it's probably going to suck anyway.

[movieman64]

I guess I should say vision or ideas, not his ability to tell someone where to stand.

[newb]

I think his directorial skills have yet to be seen.You really can't get much from what they show on TV.Sure he comes across as an introverted buffoon and by his own admission, he's somewhat lacking in communication skills, but.....you have to remember this is a "reality show" and they are going to edit it in such a way as to bring all the drama to the forefront.
From the looks of his submitted short, he does have a unique way of filming.

we might not get to see his vision or ideas since he doesn't know how to get 'em across to anybody in the proper way.

I'm an attorney with some experience with entertainment issues. I know some of your comments were ignorant statements. I'll leave it at that.

Why would it need to be anonymous? Are you going to hurt me? You don't know who I am and I don't know who you are. To ever bring up the anonymous card is a joke. I'd have no problem telling you that you're a moron to your face. I'm not exactly a skinny little middle schooler like most posters on this site.

Also, read my other posts. I ripped on the casting agent previously in this thread.

That was in the 70s with no special effects and no money spent on building monsters, etc.

[NirvanaNole]

The last episode seemed to indicate that it will come out in late fall. I'll definitely go see it. I can't wait to see the final result. The intro parts of the movie giving a bio card on the characters was pretty cool. I have a feeling this movie will be pretty funny.

[Deposable]

I highly doubt it will be released at movie theaters

Then I highly doubt you've been watching it lately, they they're going to have a theatre release.

If it is released, It will be in very few theaters. I watched every show. Just because Bob "says" its going to be released doesn't mean its true. All those guys were full of shit in the past, what makes this any different?

Figures that you would be an attorney. Nufs said about that.

I wish that you would say it to my face, but seeing that there is about 1000 miles between us, I will have to write off your ignorance and be done with.

Lets face it, you attacked me for my viewpoint, I was defending myself.

Personally I dont give a shit if you are some teenybopper, 75 year old fart, muscle bound idiot, or a stuff shirt, you asked for the bull now your mad goes you got the horns.

Again, Fuck you if you dont like my opinion, I didnt ask for your shit.

Now go chase an ambulance.

1. Shame on me to take a job in which I'll make a lot of money.

2. Drive on down, bitch. You assume I'm some little Internet geek. Keep dreaming, creeper. Go ask Fluff if I'm some little kid.

3. Go pick up an English book. If you have kids, I hope to God that your wife and/or school teaches your kids English. English was always my worst subject growing up, but I feel like a Harvard English professor reading your shit.

4. Don't post stupid posts if you don't want to be ripped. Your post was idiotic. You know it was idiotic. Instead of admitting your ignorance, you tried to act like I was some kid that didn't know shit. I told you my basic resume and now you back off that point. Just admit you posted some dumb shit.

5. It is funny that you don't "give a shit if you are some teenybopper, 75 year old fart, muscle bound idiot, or a stuff shirt, you asked for the bull now your mad goes you got the horns." You're the dumb fuck that brought up age and occupation. I just filled in the blanks. I'm 26 and an attorney. Don't run away like a little bitch once I answered your questions. You could have EASILY argued against anything I replied without bringing our personal lives into the debate. You brought it in hoping I was some dumb kid. Sorry, you're fucked now. You can make all the lawyer jokes that you want to. You'd love to have my education and job.

6. 1,000 miles is an easy plane trip. Soon I may accept a job in Sarasota, FL. If I do, fly down and meet me. You won't have to write my correction off as ignorance. I'll beat your ass and then we'll be done with it. That's up to you, big man. Keep talking your bullshit through a computer. I have no problem agreeing to disagree, but when you act like a big man that would whip me without knowing me and decides to just wash it off because of distance, well, puhleaseeeeeeeeeeee. You look like a little bitch for bringing up fighting in the first place.

7. I'm not currently a plaintiff's lawyer, so I won't chase anything. I've represented insurance companies, so at least give the right idiotic rip.

8. Blow me.:rolleyes:
