The Joy of Plasterboard

I would just like to preach about the joy's of plasterboard...
My first movie on Saturday was hardly Oscar standard, and it definitely needed a few bright spots to perk things up a bit. One of them was the finale. We were planning to have the baddie get hit with a fake rock, untill Dad came up with a stirling idea of Plasterboard, which he'd get from work.
Little bit of brown shoe polish, and nobody could tell it was a real plank of wood. One firm wack over my head *ouch* with it, and snap, a lovely 'wood smashing over someones head' effect.
For fight scenes, plasterboard is the way forward!

Always find a way around anything, good to see you coming up with ways to do things. Hopefuly you will be able to get your film online.

Since I bleive in method acting, I just hit them with real bords, and such, maybe thays why people stop working with me.

LOL! Yeah, that's the problem I had Foxwood! You need to at least pad the 2X4s first!

But that diluts the impact. Well ok maybe I don't do that much.

Impact should never be diluted:D

And if it kills actors so be it.

A lox level of casualties are acceptable as long as it does not involve oneself

foxwood · Post by **foxwood** » Mon Jul 28, 2003 1:45 am

Exactly, or the law once they get involved it starts to cost money, and then you can't finish the film.

Plots can always be rewritten

foxwood · Post by **foxwood** » Mon Jul 28, 2003 2:02 am

True. And as long as the shoot is gotten then all is good.

They always used to re-write plots on Dynasty, because they actors kept goig on holidays, and yacht cruises during filming!

"Oh blake, don't walk out on me, I'm so helpless"

"Crystal, I don't care much for what you think, Alexis is the woman for me - I'm going away for a while with her to a horse riding holiday in Monaco!"

But those plots are so out theire that anything goes, you could have little green men and the audeance would buy it as long as people were still sleeping togther.

Oh, obviously you missed that episode then!;)

Never was into those, daytime TV, always to busy, doing importinat things, like school, movies, games, reruns of MASH that are always on.

In the voice of Dr Smith (Lost in Space).

"The Joy of plasterboard? Oh, the joy, the joy!"

<Hand on forehead!>

Now there is a classic show.

El Brenty · Post by **El Brenty** » Mon Jul 28, 2003 3:36 pm

That had to be one of my favorites! I think the movie remake didn't do it justice! The new robot was a pile of doggy doo! And the Will Robinson character was just arrogantly annoying!

The movie, was to sereus, and played like a bad episode of Star Trek, as oposed to the way it should have been done extremly campy. But Gary Oldman played a crapy Dr. smith.

Movie starring a FRIENDS cast member=:(

foxwood · Post by **foxwood** » Tue Jul 29, 2003 1:02 am

They pop up all the time and the movies they are in suck usualy. The only good movie with a friends cast member is Office Space, Jinnifer Anistan. And well Band of brothers was cool even if it has david Shwimer.

Then it got trendy!

Then I got bored with it!

Plaster board to be precise!

foxwood · Post by **foxwood** » Tue Jul 29, 2003 2:31 pm
