has anyone tried drinking alcohol to help them write? i just had half a bottle of some cheap alcoholic beverage my mom had in the fridge and it aint workin'. :? my eyes are trailin' too.
Well, it sure helped Hemingway and Joyce and Faulkner and probably two thirds of all the great writers there are....but writing under the influence usually just makes me want to do somethign else, or possibly fall asleep.
One or two times it has worked, though...and it's been magic. Not the writing, necessarily, which the next morning proved to be exceedingly average, but just the feeling. I felt like I was firing pearls (and not in the way Bjork means when she says that on Vespertine, you sick bastards)!

I hate Hemmingway.

You would feel much better if you read the drunken message board rants of Film Student and Pubrick.
Wait, you're still drunk? It's saturday morning....

where r the 'drunken message board rants of Film Student and Pubrick.'?
me looky and me no findy
Unless your grizzled and weathered, beaten by the forces of nature, and humanity, unless a woman has shared yoru bed and your love only to tear out your heart and trip the light fantastic with your best friend, who swore a woman would never come between you, unless you sit by the sea and dream of what might have been if only... Then put the bottle and the pen/word processor/computer down, go lay down and sober up and get smart... When you write stuff about pilfering from mommy's liquor cabinet, it screams that the only thing you are ready to write is "what I did on my summer vacation" when you go back to middle school.
This is me being kind.
alcohol also makes you a better driver

Alcohol is not my friend. I'd dearly like it to be, but it hates me. :yabbse-cry:

the drunken rants on the old boards surpassed any drunked rants i've ever read here. that's not to say that you'd never be able to surpass them. it's just that you can't.

Smoke some weed! :wink:
i have a concept for a film in which a man and a woman are two detectives meanwhile the final reel of the film in which they exist in is stolen and then have to find it before the film ends and if they don't then they'll simply cease to exist and will never find out if they find the final reel and in a twist ending once they find the final reel and load it into the projector they are killed by the person who stole it so they would have been better off by just not finding the final reel i call it the final reel

that's an odd name. i'd have called it "chuzzwuzzers".
That's totally awesome. It should involve a hapless projectionist who somehow gets tied up in the mystery.

the projectionist is the prime suspect but the killer is really the disgruntled usher didn't see that one coming did you
