Getting this thing done

Took the bitter pill and decided to run instacrap down in manhattan yesterday for like just a few bucks whatever. It turned out to net me at least 70 bucks. Good haul. Just doing maybe 5 hours of work on the super busy days will make you a decent buck. So it was a smart move. I don't mind it but I do mind it, it's not hard but a bore and they will screw you with long distance bull crap. Drove MILES to deliver a few bars of chocolate. Does that make any sense? Who the hell orders chocolate bars from a super market miles away instead of maybe ebay or just getting off your lazy ass and going to get it. I can't say any of that kind of delivery like that makes sense. You get deliveries to people who are like taking care of their kids and CAN'T just leave to go grocery shopping because as parents know it's a horror show going out and juggling kids anywhere. So those deliveries make perfect sense. But the stupid ones, god are they meaningless.


Going to go down and do it again today; again, not going to enjoy it, but at least I'll get closer to affording my car insurance.

Wonderful I must say to come home from the Spawn anniversary and just chill and watch dragonball super. Took me back to the toonami days. I do wonder if the voice actors are feeling stretched too thin with dragonball still going as they get older, hell as the original voice of goku is now 80+, it's getting ridiculous... What a joke. Dragonball is still pumping out new episodes, still getting viewers young and old, still being popular and people still talking about it, yet the movies have completely been ruined and the sad fact is that no one involved with the films wanted it to just be a flop and fail. So much honest passion for db was put into aspects of the movie and yeah chatwin was to me the perfect Goku and physically would have put in the work to get there and achieve the live action goku we all were dreaming of. He himself looks upon the film as a mistake he made nothing more, to this day, him and all involved with it, an oops, didn't mean to make that thing, moving on. But doesn't change that we COULD under different circumstances be standing here today with maybe 3 movies made chronicling goku's journey from boy to man. It was possible. It was so possible.

M. Night making Glass, new behind the scenes video released showing a fight between beast and Dunn.

I can't wait for that obviously. It's going to be epic, and probably break the box office like no film ever has. I mean what M. Night is going to do is actually make a solid film under this guise of an epic super hero movie... it's not going to be epic or flashy, it's going to be intimate, small, like he said he wanted it to be. It's not going to try to be bombastic, we'll see. I wouldn't mind at all if he did epic big stuff. It's the final unbreakable movie and truth is, it's late. I won't let him get away with taking so long to make it. Should have been done years ago. Years damnit.

As far as static shock? Well I'm like still flabby so I can't put the final nail in it yet. Got stuff shot for the scene where Boom blows  up stuff in the neighborhood and then static shows up, need to hopefully finish shooting that bit today and get it out of my head. I want to focus on the bank robbery scene and joker scene. Going to go down in the subway and shoot a fight elements for when static encounters red cape guy. Then tons of green screen work etc. I mean It's about just like taking the subway at the right time of day. You have free reign over the subway at certain hours vs others. If I can get some privacy in a car, I can get tons of stuff shot, but you need to get on at like maybe 2am to have a shot at shooting without someone seeing it...

I'll get that going on tuesday. In fact this week I will shoot prettymuch everythng I have left to shoot.

I don't know, I mean I'm thinking about it, actually showing it at like the urban action expo thing.... But unfortunately it'd be more embarrassing than worth it due to the nature of HOW I'm adding people to it instead of having legit actors to work with. It's a silly fan film thing I've been doing since I was a star wars nerd years ago and we all made stuff like this, it's what the star wars scene was like back in the day, tons of fan projects came and went, were never held up and put on big screens or none of that shit...

Just, this project will be special, will indeed be something to behold. There's things I came up with that are really amazing, even to me, it's like actual good film making kinda stuff...

I've also recently become aware that there are rumblings of a live action static shock film in the works. Long overdue.... but yeah recently, a fan film for black lightning that was shown at the expo had static in it, live action style, and that's what it's all about, making the right people want to make it happen. It's going to be released online on nov 14, I'll have to check out the competition to see what this static was like vs mine... He's kinda alright, but not very interesting a performance. That's the hardest part about playing static, making him interesting. You have to do it phil lamar style. He made static have a sense of humor and just awkward nerdy quirks to him, that's how he punched static up, brought him more character than he initially had perhaps. Don't really know, but yeah. I don't think the comic version was that vibrant or complex. To play him straight as this kinda bland person with powers, just doesn't work as well. I basically do phil's version plus add a sense of drama and weight to him since he's masking his inner pain all the time, that sort of stuff... And I freaking look like him. The guy in the film doesn't look like static, like an obviously older guy cosplaying static. So I win.
