One of them is a full feature that my friend wrote. We're shooting in hi def and I play an evil pimpdaddy type character that beats the shit out of people.
The other movie is going to be submitted to that spielberg show (the one that is like american idol but for amateur film makers) where I will be playing a hulking evil character in a post apocalyptic world where water is sparse. I fight the hero for half a gallon of dirty water.
I'm sensing a trend here...but I'm fine with this trend. That guy that played shaokahn in MK 2 probably makes 100s of thousands a year and lives a great life, but then you add in my sensitive side that loves kittens and such and I might be able to transcend being the evil character and realize my destiny as a true star so that one day just like ron pearlman I can squeeze a lime into my eye, drink the tequila straight up, and take home the 19 yr old girl. He's like 40 right? God Bless America.
-
Damn, typecasted already and you've barely gotten started.
-
Yeah I know right. I auditioned for the film school projects and I'm hoping they pick me for something other than a juggernaut role.

You're going to be in Tank Girl? I thought they already made that movie.

Looking at his resume he has mostly been in guest starring roles on TV and low budget flops. I have doubts he makes a lot of dough and might have to do the sci-fi circuit to make the rent.
You know if you don't want to be typecast you may want to change your image. I mean if you are a big bald muscle bound guy...then they are going to put you in roles that fit big bald muscle bound guys. Which are usually Villains, Henchmen, and Sidekicks. Which ironically enough is what I'd use you for. I'd bulk down a little...re-grow your hair and trying shooting for more normal roles, and less ones involving post apocalyptic worlds or pimps. Not saying that to be mean, I just don't think you'll be anything more then the villain/Henchman/Sidekick till you change how you approach a role. I mean if you came to me and said "Rama, you think you could write a part for me in your next project." the best I could give you is a low level enforcer that the hero actually beats up. Sort of that overcoming the odds thing. Because with the way you look, it's about all I'd have for you. But if you weren't so huge and at least looked a little more average...I could put you in a lot of different roles. Ones with lines even!

IDE could be the next Vin Diesel.
....
-
So he'll have two films of note, then start making bombs while rumors fly that he is gay?
-
Try wearing a pair of coke bottle glasses and a Ryan Seacrest wig. Tell us what happens.
-
A producer that I had 2 meetings with over the break told my friend who works for him that he sees me as a bruce willis type, but online I probably come off more vin diesel. If I could choose what kind of role I'd be picked for it would be action hero and this body type suits that. My personality has alot of other qualities that don't really shine through online. In one of my classes last year our final was to do a "show" where the first person got up and recited their monologue and then the next actor got up and said their monologue to the previous person and so on. I did sonnet 18 but as a father whose daughter is dying from cancer and I caressed the girl's face and gently held her and kissed her forehead at the end. It was beautiful and a guy cried. When someone who looks like me speaks from a place like that it has a very powerful and moving effect (according to a professional actor).
Plus if I ditch this body and look I'm gonna lose out on nailing all the beautiful babies! Making dudes cry with shakespeare doesn't get you laid!
And shaokahn guy has been steadily working year after year and is in 3 films coming out this year I seriously doubt he is having trouble making ends meet. The guy who played the joker's sidekick "Bob" in batman one played a bunch of small roles every year and made 6 figures (he pawned his daughter off on Danny Devito and my friend ended up dating her for awhile and subsequently hanging out with Devito alot, attending red carpet premieres and what not but that's another story).
Also, Vin Diesel is gay (or bi at least) the aforementioned friend had lunch with his publicist the other day.
And Julia Roberts fucked George Clooney while they were shooting Ocean's 11 even though she was dating what's his face at the time (his acupuncturist is my cousin).
Edit: But yeah if I keep getting pigeon holed as a villian I probably will drop some weight to try and look a little more bruce lee than arnold. With these 2 films though I can start assembling my reel but these will ideally be the only juggernaut roles I showcase on it.

Just don't forget your INTERNET roots...when you sign autographs in your glory days, sign them "IDE"....
-

Well as long you have your priorities straight.
-
How do you dress? Try investing in some suits.
-
Vin Diesel is not gay, he's a whore, he has fucked almost EVERY socialite in NY. it's disgusting, he must have like 29348938 diseases
-
Well he's also sticking it in man pooper apparently.
Also at this time I wish to put everyone on notice that it is a fucking travesty that I am not in the movie 300. I watched the trailer again today. If I had been able to audtion for that movie I would have been in it for sure. Running around with your shirt off during epic battles, crushing my enemies, and loud guttural war roaring are what I was born to do. Without me this movie cannot live up to it's full potential so it's a sad day not just for me but for everyone who sees it.
-
Maybe they'll remake it in ten years and you can be in it then. You'll only be, what, thirty-three years old.
-
In 10 years? I'll be what? 26 probably :P
-
My mistake. I forgot you don't age in human years, much like a hot demon in a Japanese anime.
-
It's usually 25 years before they attempt to make a remake. So you may be able to land the coveted, "Emilo" role in the remake of the Breakfast club.
-
You forgot the main thing: you have to be cute to be in a hollywood movie.
-
OHHHHHHH, ouch.
-
I started looking up remakes and Jesus Fucking Christ! http://comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=15368 (http://comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=15368)

I never knew Demons could be so hot until I started watching a lot of anime.
-
You're just asking for the incubus to come back now. :angry:
-

Tell that to ron pearlman.
And besides I am attractive. How else do you think I could do what I do? I'm certainly not getting by on personality.
-
You're not? You seem to have plenty of it here. Is it another trick by the Internets? You mean spooie's not a 14 year-old cheerleader?
-
I'm flexing my pecs and bis at you right now but for some reason it's not having the usual effect.
-
What effect is that, when someone attempts to pop one of them with a needle?
-

Why? Just Why?
You're just asking for the incubus to come back now.
I still think the Battle Robot idea has merit.
-
Why? Just Why?
Yeah, I think if I had just eaten at the time I might've projectile vomited.

There is a reason that Adventures in Babysitting is in the 5.50 bin at Wal-Mart. Most memorable thing about that flick was that little girls obession with Thor, that and everyone thought Shue was the girl in Playboy all through that movie. I don't even know why they were on an "Adventure".
-

I didn't see it last time I was there. Perhaps it was buried under that pyramid of "Reindeer Games".
-
They must like that movie here, cause never seen that one in there. Can't complai though, I got Hunt for Red October out of the same bin.
-
I saw it there, but didn't get it. Mainly because it wasn't a bin, it was like all the movies they didn't sell for Christmas and there was no price on it.
-

Well, it's also twenty years old. And given that I've found Casablanca in the bin before, equating a movie's quality with where its found is not admissable.
Anyway, it's an enjoyable but throwaway movie...most memorable for graciously introducing the world to Elisabeth Shue (but not so much Vince D'Onofrio). Too bad she had to age.
-

Should be $4.88. That's what it cost me.

Considering I just said that I found "The Hunt for Red October." in the same bin, I think I'd already made that leap of logic. But really the bin is usually full of movies that have either 1. Had large print runs, 2. Are very old and thus the roylaties are not as high, or 3 just movies that people as a whole don't think are very good. Since "Adventures" really doesn't fit in either of the first two...it must fall into the last. If you like then good for you, but doesn't mean everyone else agrees. I liked The Mothman Prophecies, but it seems most people disagree with me, so I got it for 5.50 cause it doesn't meet the first two either.
And I would think The Karate Kid introduced her to the world. Even though it wasn't a staring role, I'm sure more people saw the The Karate Kid then Adventures in Babysitting.

I'm going to be in 2 one act plays this semester also. The theatre majors put on a show that consists of a series of short 1 act plays. My audition consisted of me telling a story about how I and 2 other heroic warriors fought a portion of the FAMU offensive line and their lackies (for the wrong reason). It was like that moment in FoTR where Boromir says "they have a cave troll" but this time they had 4 cave trolls and their entourages were like the orcs and goblins. I and my 2 friends were of Numenorean stature.
I parried a troll punch and felled one with a single blow of my mighty fist. Then fell into fighting with 2 of the orcs. I did a crazy matrix move that was more awesome than legolas hopping up on that horse and eventually was forced up some stairs. The troll I dropped had recovered by then but blood was still gushing blood from his nose, but 3 minutes had passed and I looked to the west, there on the horizon were flashing sirens so we all ran off into the night. My friends had also done well for themselves sustaining no more than a black eye on one of them. Truly we were born in the wrong era.
The next day the football players were heard to remark to one of our friends who bounces at the club there "Man, you got some crazy ass white friends".
-
IDE, You're one crazy ass white guy.
-
Not one of his better stories IMO.
-
IDE's set a high standard for himself.

Goddamn, I can't believe that I missed one of a billion fucking posts :o :P

I didn't remember her from it, but that might have something to do with me not having seen it since the eighties. But Adventures really put her in the spotlight.
-
I think the point is that she's well out of it now.
-
Hollow Man saw to that.
-
Not one of his better stories IMO.
I was on 8 simply sleeps and I never tied LOTR into that one before. For this story to be good I need to be telling it in person.

Or maybe trolls aren't very interesting.
-
Well I kind of act it out when I tell it in person. And you get to see what my matrix move is. And when I did it at the audition I made it seem like I spontaneously asked for a cube to demonstrate the move and I knew it would be really impressive...and it was. They fucking loved me. Everyone wanted to call me back for their play but only 4 were allowed, so the seniors pulled rank and got me, and of those 4 only 2 get to have me in their plays.

Sadly one of them wasn't "There will be no direct to DVD sequel."
-
Tons of things have a direct to DVD sequel. It means nothing.
-
Still....just know it's out there makes it hard to sleep at night.
-
Why is that? Is this like a Twelve Monkeys thing where the you discover the you of the future actually wrote it?
-
I don't think so...but that would be pretty cool.
-
Except it's for Hollow Man 2: Journey to a New World.
-
Eh...as long as I know I'm not living behind the Wal-Mart burning pages of my unpublished novel to keep warm in the future...I'll take it!
-

Hollow Man 2?!?!? What's the story behind that? Kevin Bacon's character burned to death! Didn't he? Well if soaps can make be-head character spring back to life I'm sure anything is possible.
It still pisses me off to this day that the stupid ticket girl asked for my damn ID to see Hallow Man. It was a horrible movie and not worth the price of admission.
-
her boss probably told her to bilk as many people out of full price as possible.
-
Are you suggesting she was a senior or something because she would've had to pay the same price anyway... if they let her in anyway.
Eh...as long as I know I'm not living behind the Wal-Mart burning pages of my unpublished novel to keep warm in the future...I'll take it!
Instead you're living behind Wal-mart buring the pages of your published novel for warmth because you were shit-for-brains enough to write "Hollow Man 2: Gettin' Hollower - Now a Major Direct to DVD Motion Picture".
-
Student ID is what popped into my head.

They turned a Christan Slater invisible this time.

But, Bob the Goon makes six figures!
-
BELIEVE IT!
-
Student ID is what popped into my head.
I'm almost certain I went with her and I don't believe we were even buying student tickets.
-
No, she wanted to verify I was old enough to see the movie. I was like I just graduated from College so unless I am so Doogie Howser like genius I'm old enough to see this movie. It would have been such a big deal but this was back when I didn't drive so I was bad about carrying my ID. Also it was a nearly two bus trip from home so I would have thrown a fit if I hadn't found my ID.
-
Are you also gay like Neil Patrick Harris?
-
I've never been carded, even when I was too young.
-
That's because nobody cared.
-
I would agree with you, but I've been with someone that got carded and I didn't.
-
I meant about you personally. The other person was obviously loved.
-
Maybe because you are tall they assumed you were older at least old enough to see the movie.
-
Yeah, like Baby Huey without the diaper. Or possibly with.
-
But I'm tall and I always get carded.
-
Maybe because you are tall they assumed you were older at least old enough to see the movie.
I'm sure the beard didn't hurt either.
-
Lots of twelve year olds have beards. It doesn't mean anything.
-
Well I bet those 12 year olds looked like they were 15...patchy beard and all.
-
They should've used that crap that's on the chia pets to fill in the spots.
-
They're slackers..they'd never water it.
-
Their moms could water it.
