Wankage Point

I went to see the film "Vantage Point" starring Dennis Quaid & Forrest Whitaker at week's end.

I wish I could say that it gave me the horn but I am afraid it left me with nothing but knob ache. Like most of you I was hoodwinked by the soulless profit hungry marketing machines  of the major film studios into thinking this was an explosive political thriller with more twists and turns than one of your poncey roller coaster rides.  The only coasting that transpired was that of my vomit expelling from my obiculoris oris (mouth).  This film (and I use the term loosely) was repetitive, boring, and left me wanting my money and time back!  The manager of the film house was kind enough to refund my money (he clearly had heard that was responsible for the masterpiece that is "Great Shame.") but was at a loss when I demanded my time back.  

If it is a cutting edge thriller they (they being the HKG (Hollywood Keeper's of The Gate) want then they need look no further than my new script "Great Shame." "Great Shame" is an incendiary piece of art that explores the dark side of the American family.   Think "Long Days Journey Into The Night" meets "Deliverance."  Can the HGK fathom "Great Shame"?  Of course not because they dream in dollars.  Here is what a meeting might look like:

HKG:  So Mr. Wynn where would be know you from? But more importantly how do you see the promotional poster for "Shame Shame?"

R.A.W:  It's "GREAT Shame" and I see a deserted Thanksgiving dining table with the cat licking the cranberry sauce.  

HKG:  That's interesting.  We saw Lindsey Lohan (she would be perfect for one of the brothers) wagging her finger at her father indicating "you naughty naughty man!"

R.A.W:  Funny, I didn't realize that Linsey got a sex change.  The role is written for a man.  Not a spoiled girl.

HKG:  We think it would be better received if you made the brothers sisters and that we Hillary Duff could play the other sister.  She might even break out in a song about "Papa Papa how could you Papa!!!!!!!"

R.A.W  I am starting to feel shooting pains up my arse because you are buggering me with a bit of the old ANGRY ANAL!!!!!!  Fuck off you stupid cunts!!!!!!  I will do this my way or no way.  I will not comprimise the integrity of "Great Shame."  Never!

As I make my dramatic exit I turn and say "Life IS Great Shame."  I then storm out and slam the door.  

Anyway "Vantage Point" gave a less than limped reading on the Wyatt Hornometer.  Wait until the dvd is released and then use it to scrape off your dingleberries!

This is Ray Wyatt reminding you that nothing is as it seems.  Especially when it seems like nothing.

Writing The Screen

I just watched a teaser for a film called "BuzzKill." It struck a chord with me. As a writer I can attest to how hard it is to get people to your read script. They are much more content reading about a governor and his hooker or watching "Project Runway" on their iPod while they ignore the world around them. In the end it is all about distraction. Why not opt for a distraction that will enhance your mind rather than numb it and make it easier for the politicians who run your country to manipulate you.

Teaser looks good. Would be interested in seeing the entire film.

Hillary

So Hillary is really pissing me off. I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican. I am a writer. Hillary belongs to the Hillary party and seems hell bent on destroying her own party to make sure that Obama who is winning no matter how you slice the cake comes out of this damaged goods. Her claim that she mispoke on her Bosnia trip while serving as first lady is a crock. She lied to give the impression that she has foreign policy experience.

Being married to a governor and later a president does not qualify you to be president. In fact being married to Bill Clinton disqualifies you from holding office period!
