Film Studies
me: hola
JQ: hoi!
me: seen 300 yet? have you have you?
me: beautiful closing credits
JQ: oh cool
JQ: haven't seen it..
JQ: is the film any good>?>
me: yea, i loved it, comic book greece... i feel like a rather poor specimen of a man after watching it tho
JQ: haha
JQ: bet we all would..
me: batters "Troy" (the film) into submission
JQ: no way!
JQ: really - i love troy!
JQ: maybe i should have a gander at this 300..
JQ: ;)
me: the main dude has a mighty beard too
JQ: (envy)
JQ: he must be a real man!
me: it might be a cgi beard
JQ: thats not what i wanna hear! next you'll be sayin gandalf's beard was made of a polyester / cotton mix!
me: its a genuine goats beard, polycotton might shrink in the wash
me: or melt at the gates of mordor
JQ: WOT!
me: the gates of mordor are made of duplo and sprayed with grey poster-paint
JQ: nope - not haven't it. I think a sterling beard is essential for EVERY film.. I can't be havin' this fake beard nonsense!
me: hehe
me: i'm trying to think of a ggood film without a beard in it
me: ... i can't
me: :)
JQ: if you take away the beard whats left for 23rd Century cinema!
JQ: u gonna rely on 'script'!
JQ: or fancy FX? eh! what ya gonna do... Goats beard! Pull the other one. Next you'll be sayin he wasn't an authentic wizard!
me: course not, they had to get a stunt wizard in.. whenever he does magic its paul daniels on stilts
JQ: aghast!
JQ: :O
JQ: any more astonishing claims to spoil my day?
JQ: BEARDS/BEARDS/BEARDS!
JQ: ;)
me: celluloid is actually made of fermented beard trimmings, you know a film is low on budget because all the actors have shaved their beards for filmstock, sometimes the shaving is written into the film
me: is a big secret
JQ: heeh
me: wealthy producers often grow big beards to taunt their rivals
JQ: lol
JQ: sacrificial beards :(
me: george lucas, has a very short beard (which almost looks drawn on), its still recovering from the star wars prequels
JQ: and they rarely acknowledge this sacrifice in the credits..
me: never, do do so would be a sigh of weakness
me: to do so*
me: sign
me: "a sigh of weakness" hehe
JQ: Lucas was ceremoniously shawn of his growth after the prequels
JQ: but was allowed to keep some dignity..
me: he has enough beard for a 2 minute short film, he's saving it for one last really awesome idea
JQ: what a phony!
JQ: hows your beard working these days?
me: getting a bit long
me: bit itchy
JQ: are you gonna use it for a feature?
me: i might donate it to the film council
me: i tend to work purely digitally
JQ: most women tend to work in digital ;)
me: hehe
JQ: they're pretty anti cellulite..
JQ: celluloid
me: well yes, working closely with celluloid can actually cause cellulite!
JQ: its a bad mix
me: you've heard the saying that "film puts 10lbs on you"
JQ: lol
JQ: cellulite gets everywhere. Women out!
me: ... i'm thinking of compiling some of my stranger msn conversations into a book....
JQ: that sounds dangerous
me: hehe
JQ: Only if I can be hung, drawn and quartered - Crucifixion is sooo last century.
me: :S ?
JQ: the government might want to ave me dead after you publish our msn conv..
me: hehe.. the film council perhaps
me: but i dont think they have the power
JQ: those non-beard munchkins - HA!
