A Bitter View

What Happened?!

That was the start of the conversation that my instructor/advisor asked me when he looked over my final I barely passed with a D-. I told him that my main objective was to get down the lingo of the book that we started with. I neglected studying the handouts we received during the class which led to my blank short answers. He asked me once he got my final paper/script what 3 things could be changed if I had the ability. I told him smaller cast, more plot and better ending. He immediately turned my score into a 65, oh joy a D. Yay! I told him how useful the class was since I plan on submitting a comic book script soon. What he told me was something that hit me on the head since I didn’t realize. Comic books and Graphic novels are basically storyboards to a possible motion picture. That made perfect sense; I mean why wouldn’t directors like Hudlin & Smith get deals to write the books. It definitely brought about just a taste of more ambition and inspiration to make something happen. One final’s down and another to go.

I headed to my fave DVD hobby shop I picked up 2 flicks one called Born to Fight by the director of Ong Bak so I’m hoping at least the action is as good. And a Blaxploitation classic called Coonskin a.k.a. Street fight. I asked the owner about wholesale fees for the purpose of selling them on eBay. He told me it’ll be a grand to get started. A “G” that I didn’t have at the moment, but he told me he’d work with me for at least half.

I finally got me some cheap Nike from Eastbay catalog under 50 bucks. I refuse to pay 200 for kicks; which is why you won’t see me with Jordans on from my own money.

I’m working with the bastards tomorrow and Friday while studying for my final Monday. whoopee
