"LET THEM FALL"...

WHEN THEY DO SO, IT IS THEIR TIME TO DO SO, IT IS NOT OUR CALL NECESSARILY, THOUGH THEY WILL GET UP RECOVER AND MOVE AHEAD, JUST MAYBE NOT WITH US...WHICH IS WHY AMERICA IS IN THE NUMBER 1 POSITION IN DIRECTING THE WORLD OUT OF THE QUAGMIRE THAT WE HAVE FOUND OURSELVES WAY TOO LONG, NOT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.

WE ARE ALLOWING FOR PROGRESS AND THOSE WHO HAVE ATTEMPTED TO TALK ME OUT OF THE 3% THAT I AM ENTITLED WITH MY GLOBAL PLAN ASKING ME TO RAISE THE PERCENTAGE ARE NOT LOYAL TO OUR CAUSE AND OUR GLOBAL PLAN...WE MUST AND WILL PROVE OURSELVES AND WE DO THAT FOR NOT ONLY OURSELVES BUT FOR OUR INVESTORS WHO HAD TAKEN A CHANCE WITH US...

"THIS IS A NEW WORLD"...WE ARE NO LONGER RUNNING THIS MACHINE USING THE OLD PARADIGMS AND THEIR PIMP MOBILES...WE ARE LOOKING FOR THOSE WHO THINK AS WE DO IN KEEPING OUR PROMISES AND DELIVERING ON THEM...

FILM IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT...WE WANT ALL OF OUR TEAM MEMBERS TO BE IN FIRST TIER POSITIONS...

YOU MAY ALSO RECALL THAT ONCE WE COMMENCE SHOOTING THINGS WILL GO QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY DUE TO OUR VIDEOING EVERYTHING BEFORE WE TRANSFER IT ON FILM,(WHICH HEARKENS BACK TO THE YEAR SPENT AT AFI IN GREYSTONE MANSION IN 1975) THIS WILL BE ORCHESTRATED BY THE CINEMATOGRAPHER, EDITOR AND MYSELF THE WRITER SOMETHING THAT WILL BE TOTALLY NEW IN MAKING A FILM, USUALLY THE SELF PROCLAIMED POWERS AT BE WISH TO DISPENSE WITH SCRIBES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BECAUSE WE MAKE SENSE AND WE KNOW OUR CHARACTERS WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT THEY WILL AND WILL NOT DO AND SAY...

THOUGH WE ARE AWARE, AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED, THAT AN ACTOR AND ACTRESS CAN COME UP WITH A BRILLIANT IDEA THAT THE WRITER, OR NO ONE ELSE HAD EVEN THOUGHT OF...EGOS CAN GET IN THE WAY, AND WE WILL ATTEMPT TO KEEP THIS FACT AT A MINIMUM.

ALSO IT ELIMINATES MAKING IT EASY FOR OUR ASSASSINS TO TAMPER WITH OUR FINISHED PRODUCT, CHANGING CHARACTERS, ADDING CHARACTERS, ELIMINATING THE ORIGINAL LEADS, AND CREATING PAY DAYS FOR THOSE UNDESERVING, WITH NONE OF THE EXPENSE INCURRED BY THE ORIGINAL FILM MAKERS, WHICH COULD BE THE REASON FOR METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER'S DEMISE, WHICH IS WHY ON FEATURE FILMS AS I HAD MENTIONED IN AN EARLIER UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE BLOG, MANY OF THE CREDITS HAVE BECOME LONGER IN LENGTH THAN THE FEATURE FILM ITSELF. THIS NATURALLY WOULD CERTAINLY ALTER AND EVEN ELIMINATE OUR RESIDUALS, AND FUTURE PAYMENTS WHEN THE FILM RUNS, WHICH HAS HAPPENED IN AT LEAST TWO OF THE FILMS THAT I HAD APPEARED, "SHAFT" BEING ONLY ONE OF THEM, DISTRIBUTED BY MGM, AND SECONDLY "BROTHER ON THE RUN" DIRECTED BY A FIRST TIME DIRECTOR ED LASKO, AND PRODUCED BY FRED WILLIAM OF LOUISIANA, AND SHOT AT PRODUCERS STD. ACROSS THE STREET FROM PARAMOUNT.


THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL ASSAULTS TO NOT ONLY ME, BUT MY CO-WORKERS AS WELL, BOTH ABOVE AND BELOW THE LINE TALENT ON OTHER FEATURES THAT I AND MANY OTHERS HAD APPEARED, AS WELL ON NETWORK TV, AND PAID TV, WHICH AGAIN, AS PREVIOUSLY STATED THAT WE MUST BE THOROUGH IN ALL ASPECTS, THIS DOES TAKE TIME AND WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.

THE OTHER ISSUE IS HAVING TOO MANY WRITERS BEING HIRED ON A PROJECT TAKING IT AWAY FROM THE ORIGINAL SCRIBE, SO THAT THE DO NOTHINGS ONCE AGAIN MAY HAVE ANOTHER UNEARNED PAY DAY. AS I HAD MENTIONED IN THE EARLIER BLOG REGARDING THE ARBITRARY CHANGES ON ORIGINAL SCREENPLAYS WITHOUT HAVING FACE TO FACE DIALOGUE WITH THE WRITER IS ESSENTIAL THIS RULE IS APPLIED IN THEATER WHERE A PLAYWRIGHTS WORK CANNOT BE TOUCHED, NOT EVEN SO MUCH AS A COMMA AND I SUGGEST, IF I MAY, THAT WE HARBOR THE SAME RESPECT FOR SCREENWRITERS, PARTICULARLY, THE SEASONED INDIVIDUALS WHO HAD LONG AGO EARNED THEIR STRIPES, BEFORE THEIR ASSASSINS SNATCHED THEM OFF.

AN ENTERTAINING FLICK, "BECOMING JULIA" ACTUALLY HAS A SCENE OF THE IMPACT ON A PLAYWRIGHT WHEN HE ATTENDS THE OPENING NIGHT OF HIS PLAY, ONLY TO FIND THAT JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT HE HAD WRITTEN HAD BEEN CHANGED, AND HE IS PORTRAYED AS A BUMBLING IDIOT SOBBING OVER THE ATROCITY.

THIS IS IT FOR NOW OUR FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT AND CLEAR, FULL STEAM AHEAD!

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING, HAVE A SPECTACULAR DAY!
