Your friends still won't pay you make two dollars.

Go away you CF supporter.
My very being is crushed.

Also, "Your friends still won't pay you make two dollars" isn't a sentence.

In other news, it's funny that Murphy is going to ride that bizarre "Child Frog" thing into dust.

Okay, Murphy. All ball-fondling and bickering and my own quiet awe at this debacle aside, what the hell, exactly, does Child Frog mean? Where did that come from? What does it insinuate?

So, I felt, if I'm going to react I might as well over react. (audience laughs) So, I said, right, that's it, no more Hollywood films. And if they do make films of my work, then I want my name taken off them and I want all the money given to the artists. I thought, God, that sounds principled (audience laughs) and almost heroic! (audience laughs) Then I got a phone call from Karen Berger the next Monday, she's an editor at DC Comics, and she said, "Yeah, we're going to be sending you a huge amount of money before the end of the year because they're making this film if your Constantie character with Keanu Reeves." I said, "Right, OK. (audience laughs) Well, take my name off of it and distribute my money amongst the other artists. I felt, well, that was difficult, but I did it and I feel pretty good about meself. Then I saw David Gibbons who I had done "Watchmen" with and he was saying, "Oh Alan, guess what, they're making the 'Watchmen' film." And I said, with tears streaming down my face, "Take my name off of it David. (sniffles)" (audience laughs) "You have all the money." Then I got a check for the "V for Vendetta" film. It was just, this was within three days!

SL: You must have believed there was some sort of God punishing you.

AM: Or at least he's got kind of a sense of humor. (audience laughs) I don't know what I was thinking, but I've said it now so I've got to kind of stick with it. But, on the other hand, just for the look on Hollywood producer's faces, "If he doesn't want the money, what does he want?" (audience laughs)

SL: You can't put a price on that.

AM: You can't, not that sort of entertainment.
Seems you and your friend have fairly different views on money. Just sayin.'

Devin, I've got about 30 pages until I'm done. You're right about the proofreading errors; Julia Styles is not in "Traffic."

I found the sections about David O. Russell, Spike Jonze and David Fincher to be the most interesting. Enjoy the book!

Don, I agree. Biskind is a sensationalist writer who never let the truth get in the way of telling a story. I just can't help but read anything and everything about the industry. One day, I hope Biskind will be libeling me.

Sounds like he wasn't the biggest fan before Cohen's lawsuit. If he had been, I'd think he would have seen the adaptations, if only as a favor to his buddy, Don Murphy. I mean, if I had a big-time movie producer friend, I'd probably check out all his movies.

Well, come to think of it, I was tossing around the idea of going back to grad school. Maybe you could point me in the direction of a grad school program for film production with an emphasis on poor grammar, terrible interpersonal skills, and stupid grudges against internet personalities?

Basically, although I'm guessing the hate is more one-sided than anything else. In some news update, Devin called Murphy out for being the no-talent hack he is. Murphy, clearly having too much time on his hands and really thin skin, got pissed and started this crazy message board flame war.

Hey, I signed onto this thread expecting a nuclear war of internet craziness and all I'm getting is Devin not giving a shit and you mangling the English language. This is not epic in scope. This is not a massive flamewar. This is boring. This is shit.

Like I told the ticketperson after I saw LXG, I'd like my money back.

Regardless of what I might think of Devin, it seems he has won this one. I think his lack of association with Double Dragon might have helped tipped the balance in his favor long ago though.

I downloaded it.

Someone got wise and called the FCC, but after they busted in my door and saw what I was watching they simply said 'oh, you poor bastard...' and walked out. Apparently this film is now being used to execute retards in Texas.

"ESL" is not an adjective.

Commas are your friends.

And finally, "D" is not an acceptable substitute for "Th."

Don, seriously, don't you think that it's a tad bizarre for an adult with a well-paying job and some sort of fame to call people names, star in a flame war and act like 15 year-old geek? Seriously....

And, by the way, whose idea was it to change the concept of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen? What the fucj was wrong with the comic's characters and motivations?

Maybe she could be one of those drunken girls you like to stumble on top of?

Anyway, again, stop calling me Murph. You don't know me and you should respect your betters.
Don, you weren't the reason any of those films were good, or even made.

"ESL" is an abbreviation for "English as a Second Language." It is the proper name of an education program that teaches non-English speakers how to read, write, and speak the English language. It is a noun. It is not, and never will be, an adjective. Also, I would like to take this moment to observe how incredibly ironic this situation is.

Quote:
There are no commas REQUIRED in any of the sentences.
In the same way that intelligence is not REQUIRED to produce movies, right?
