Working A Room- Quick

Posted by Bruce - in Uncategorized - No Comments

If you’re in a situation where there appears to be many people you should be meeting and time is of the essence here’s what you should do. Hopefully I’ll follow this advise in the future as well.

(1) Speed Giving- See what you can give to the individual you are meeting. This occurs by listening to their needs and seeing how you might fit in.

(2) Compliment- Find something “real” to compliment the person on.

(3) Beginning/Ending- Just like a good film have a good beginning and ending that leaves a positive feeling to the conversation.

(4) Make sure you exchange contact information during said conversation if applicable

(5) Always can use the bathroom break. This works better for guys as there is always room to open one’s bladder.

(6) Enjoy- Find something you’re interested in discussing and if the other person is not interested it in let them lead.

(7) Two ears one mouth- Listening carefully before opening your own mouth.  Not just to the words but tone in which they speak.

Famous Not Knowing It

If only I knew my scene would be shown to millions upon millions of people, I might have worn a different outfit or laughed a bit harder yet at 6:07 there was no choice everyone knew my name well at least face. I was just going to a comedy routine that had this note which said it was a public gathering and our image “could” be used basically wherever.  Did I know this comedy routine would lead to “The Seinfeld Show” not only seen for one season but continue to be played over and over and … over again in repeat heaven? With public camera’s popping everywhere trust me you can become the next victim or **star** you just never know.

The “Investment Club” is a group that meets every morning to discuss potential ventures before the market opens and has associates watching a live feed of said discussion.  There would be a nominal fee of five dollars each day to participate in said discussion and a monthly fee for those subscribed to the discussion. Each member of the club would have a different skill set accounting , law, marketing and even youth to gauge potential investments from various points of view.   With the “Investment Club” making monies is a group effort with F-U-N included in the mix.

Pancake-P!!

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

It’s the pancake that could and definitely did!!!  The Chocolate Chip Pancake I had at the Pancake Factory in Stony Point was truly out of my world. Crispy, light and full of delicious chocolate who could ask for anything more. I’ve had hundreds of chocolate chip pancakes in my life and this one climbed to my number one spot from the first bite to the last dip in syrup (not even needed). Dare I say it the Chocolate Chip pancake I had at the Pancake Factory might have been heavenly sent for it was something to die for.

FOOTNOTE-   Please don’t take my last sentence literally although it’s worth the journey… in a car.

Excuse Them

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

There not bad people just ones that voted JB.  Therefore please understand their paranoia, anger and most of all confusion. They actually believed things were going to get better and are trying to cling unto any semblance that this might be occurring somewhere, anywhere?  Yet even the most deluded now are seeing this isn’t the case so they create the new fear that things will some how get worse under DT. The VJB’s are good people just very confused so if the make mistakes in “regular life” understand it’s not their fault just an illness that needs to be treated before November 7th.

FOOTNOTE-  Meant to be funny unless you are suffering.

 

Not M-E

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

Where did I go?  There is medium and large but no M-E why, tell me why?!!  Maybe this guy (below) got his way but I’m not actually human although my emotions feel that way. Where did we “small” go not in any movie theater I can tell you that!! Is it just a way to charge more $$’s as the medium has shrunk to our size or are we just the kid size now? I don’t know how this occurred all I can say is it hurts not to be counted and ignored even just a cup. Thanks alot!!!!

Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes- Maybe A Room- Film Review

Posted by Bruce - in Uncategorized - No Comments

If you go to films for the Cinematography, special effects and visual appealing aspect of film-making Kingdom will be your castle but for the rest of us it’s just a room. The film has it’s moments but they are few and far between with much clutter instead especially when the “Apes” speak. I know the film-makers were trying to go for the authentic voices of the apes but we in the audience should understand the motivations better. Kingdom Of The Planet Of The Apes worth a view but only room a studio view.

** 1/2 – You can add an extra half of star if visually appealing is in your top category of entertainment values.

 

 

 

Disturb Not Offend-Filmmaking

Posted by Bruce - in Blog - No Comments

When making a film one must walk a thin rope of disturbance especially today. You must upset what your viewer expects to see without going over the top to offend them if you want them to stay till the end. Disturbances add excitement, shock and authenticity to your project.  The problem is  there are so many options out there so that line must stay firm and that is why we see so many reboots/remakes of classic films by the “big studios”. Yet art demands touching the third rail even for a second. I guess in the end one should touch but just for enough time not to disturb.
