    Watchin a movie last night I seen something that I've seen many times before, that had me thinkin...If I ever made a movie I'd never do that..

    Simple thing but it bugs me!!!! someone gets shot in the arm/shoulder area then precedes to crawl along the ground using the one good arm and one leg!!!! Dragging the other leg like they just had a stroke or something!!!:confused:

    I mean if ya wanna create a tense "I'm comin to get ya and ya can't run" scene, JUST SHOOT THE LEGS!!!!!!!

    What's your's????


    By the way I'll most likely never make this movie;)

    Have a snotty/cheeky kid. I just can't stand them in films. Normal children if needed for the plot sure but ones like ya man out of the Mummy Returns simply annoy me much more then they should.

    If I was making a slasher horror film, rather than having the teen couple making out in the car killed by an axe wielding maniac I'd just let them get in on.

    Hey presto, I now have a genre defying slasher horror porno!

    I would not have a scene in which the "key" to unlocking a prospective partner's heart means making a fool of yourself. I'm thinking in particular of "rom-coms" that end up with someone standing in the street shouting, or crashing a wedding, or anything like that, just to "win their heart", whatever the hell that means these days.

    I'm generally keen on preserving my dignity, probably because I don't have much of it. An act that looks embarrassing on film would be doubly so in real life, and all the more unrealistic as a result. Not all feelings have to be expressed, in public, as loudly and as detailed as possible. :o

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
