nothing
It's definitely an original idea. I'd like to see what you come up with Lucinda. Keep me posted! :)
'p
I encourage you to make a script out of it. It's a hard thing to comment on ideas b/c they can go so many ways. I don't even know if your movie is a comedy or drama...so it's really hard to say how good an idea it is. I'm sure Ishatar sounded good in the beginning.
So develop it.
It's a drama..
It has the underpinnings of a quirky short comedy too....but wtf do I know... :)
Quote from: Lucinda Bryte
But a depressed coffee table is cool.
one of the coolest things i have ever heard.
can either be great or a disaster, depending on what you do with it. but definitly do something with it.
i once had an idea for a short that was told from the perspective of a penny spanning about 35 years. it was to be a comedy.
Actually I think it could be a really cynical comedy... Hmm! I will have to think more about this. I like your penny idea as well. Thank you for the feedback, everyone. :)
Change the coffee table to a cynical action hero and the troubled family to a wisecracking talking dog and you got yourself a movie.
Seriously though, personified inanimate objects are awesome.
Quote from: Lucinda BryteAnd Kiiljari narrating about how he is used to pile bills on and that's a symbolic reference to something I haven't quite worked out yet
Umm... let's see... He yearns for what the family has, so he yearns for money and stability, and they pile that stuff on him, literally slapping him in the face with bills. He can't consume like they do
and he's smitten with the aftermath.

No no no, that's lazy. Of course it could be a cheap little comedy, but you have to extend it into a nearly pretentious epic drama. It has to be played seriously. Then it would be a truly beautiful thing.
I am so pretentious without realizing it. It's a flaw...

No, it's a good thing when combined with absurdity.

Well thanks actually.
It's odd. I was just thinking of bands that have been around a long time who sing songs from the beginning of their career. It seems like it would be re-visiting an old memory of when they wrote the song.
And if I ever made this (or any other) movie, I would look back on it twenty years from now and have that mindset reminded to me and probably feel embarassed.

I really really hope you're joking. Pretentious epic drama?!?!
Hey Lucinda, the fact that your favorite part of the idea is the depressed coffee table and not the unhappy family leaves me certain that you'll do right by this idea. Like someone else said already, I think, a depressed coffee table is a beautiful thing.

P.S. Can you change your name to coffeetable? Just for a day or something? That would be great.

Wow that means a lot coming from you. I sort of post stalk you because I love the way you write.. :oops:
In case you need it, Ghostboy, this (http://www.dvmen.org/dv-10.htm) is for you.
hahaha
:lol:
MacGuffin always picks on me.
I just read Lucinda's live journal.
I have decided that she is the coolest girl alive.

That makes me feel spiffy and awesome because I always thought my random musings about nothing were just... pointless. Glad you like it. :-D

I think the left hand banner should be changed to "We molest girls."

:lol: I wish I were dreamy. I either wish I were really stunning or really ugly. I'm not sure which I lean towards more but I'm sort of stuck in the middle with a boring look.
That's my life. One giant hunk of bored.

It doesn't have to be a "truly beautiful thing." What's wrong with a few laughs? I don't see feature length written on it, so it could be just a fun little comedic short for our adorable Lucinda to practice with. ;)

I think I had meant for it to be a drama at first but now I'm not so sure. I think Kiiljari should be a bitter cynical depressed coffee table now. Much like Marvin the robot in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So morbid but humourous at the same time.
That sounds alot better Lucinda.
Quote from: coffeebeetleIt doesn't have to be a "truly beautiful thing."
But why waste this potential?

Pshh. Just because it's an absurd pretentious epic drama doesn't mean it can't be funny. It could be funnier than a little short comedy, and in a more profound way.
Would you care to explain how a pretentious epic drama becomes a comedy? I really want to know.
Quote from: coffeebeetleWould you care to explain how a pretentious epic drama becomes a comedy? I really want to know.
Absurdity. That's all you need. It wouldn't be a comedy (I never said that), but it would be really funny.
Okay dude. It won't be a comedy, but it'll be funny. A dark comedy perhaps? Tongue in cheek? "Throw me a frickin' bone here..."
Quote from: coffeebeetleTongue in cheek?
Definitely. But without losing its dramatic pretentiousness.
Quote from: coffeebeetleA dark comedy perhaps?
Maybe in the same way Natural Born Killers was.

I could defnitely do the pretentious thing. Would have been better if I had written it when I was 16 and thought I had the world figured out. Ah those were the (embarassing) days.
Quote from: Lucinda BryteWould have been better if I had written it when I was 16 and thought I had the world figured out.

No. I was 16 and thought I did. Now I'm 18 and I know better.

Anyway today I'm going to Barnes & Noble to write. Something I haven't done in awhile. I might post in my THREADE later to see what I came up with.
It will probably be god awful.
Quote from: Lucinda BryteAnyway today I'm going to Barnes & Noble to write.
Boo! I expect more originality out of you! That is such a cliched idea.
Lemme know if you want me to help you brainstorm for another destination, as the outcome could be extrodinary...

Other people do that? Oh hmm. There is just nowhere else to go and it's so close. I guess the library... Or Starbucks. I actually did go to Starbucks once at five in the morning... Or are you just being sarcastic? I used to go in the old fort on my swingset but it's been taken down now. :(
Quote from: Lucinda Bryte... Or are you just being sarcastic?
no, not at all...I know it's convienent, but dull and boring in my opinion.
How's the weather by you today? give me some hints to work with.
(Realize i am only tryin' to spark new ideas...starting with yer location on this notion...)
This discussion reminded me of Cosmo Kramer 8)

It is overcast and cool. My kind of day.
I got bored there and started reading "Choke" by Chuck Palahniuk (I can't spell his last name...) and then I got paranoid and dissociative and left.
ACLOCLWORKJJ WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG! I must listen to him from now on.

Doesn't something next to my username say SUBURBS? :P
Wait no it doesn't. Umm the suburbs.

grab a notebook, we will call it yellow. Head due east, passed the tree.
Find a stoop, with people around. Grab a pen incognito.
watch and write. the burbs are funny, just look. no specific form, just the norm.
ps. get a cup of coffee, none of that latte icy fruit shit.

Haha actually going east would be walking towards the park with the weird people in the apartments. Those people are fr34x0rz.
