Author Topic: The ex strikes again Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

The problem is Hollywood has made that movie 1000 times already. What am I saying!? That hasn't stopped Hollywood before!  |  IP: Logged Greg Anderson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 766 From: Ogden Valley, Utah Registered: Nov 1999 posted 03-08-2011 07:16 PM                        ...and the girl would be a nurse or a doctor or a lawyer who handles medical malpractice lawsuits. Soundtrack by the 1980s punk band The Circle Jerks. Shot in IMAX or maybe with a DSLR camera, I'm not sure. And I think we call know which font would be used on the movie poster.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-08-2011 07:42 PM                     The movie would be shot in 1080p/24 using a Canon EOS 7D on loan from . Naturally the ISO would be cranked up to something like 6400 to make the image noisy. The finished movie would be projected in IMAX. Trajan is a given for the movie poster. Subtitles in the movie would be set in Papyrus.  |  IP: Logged Greg Anderson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 766 From: Ogden Valley, Utah Registered: Nov 1999 posted 03-09-2011 05:43 PM                        ...with Natalie Portman as the "nurse with benefits."  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-09-2011 06:10 PM                        There's the closest Bobby will ever be to Angelina Jolie!  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

I'm a little more partial to Natalie Portman (as if I have a shot at her either).  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-16-2011 09:56 AM                     quote: Manny Knowles it sounds like you had a lot to lose -- and then lost it. Manny, Forget the material things, the worst thing I lost were my kids. When we split, she packed up everything that would fit in the Sport trac and moved to Florida from Omaha. She has no family there, she just liked living there. I ended up back in Indiana. I get the kids either on or after Christmas, every other spring break, and one month of the summer. I could see them on weekends, but it is an 850 mile drive one way. When I pick them up it is 1 day to drive there, 1 day to drive them back to Indiana, then the same when I take them back. It costs at least a thousand bucks just in traveling expenses after the gas, food and lodging are added up. Not to mention the 3400 miles of wear on the car. When I have them for a month, I still have to pay support to the ex. Sorry, Ranting again Rick  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-01-2011 11:23 AM                     The Rick SAGA continues. My ex remarried earlier this year and a couple of months ago left her "new" husband. When she was getting married, I was genuinely happy for her. I was thinking stability for the kids. She packed everything up and took the kids and moved to her parents million dollar house on the Chesapeak in Maryland. Now my kids have to adapt to a whole new situation, friends, school, etc.... I'm left to deal with the overdue taxes, and now I'm getting notices from the state about child support arrearages. Seems I owe my ex $40,000 now, and because of that amount the state is increasing my payments. I have borrowed and sold everything and have been making payments on or ahead of schedule for the last few years. If I get a job now, they will take out the first $1500 per month out of my paychecks. There aren't any jobs here in the "biz", and I can't leave town yet because of my dads health. Last year I tried working at a couple different factories and they sucked. One was metal plating (I got nosebleeds and headaches from the fumes), the other was assembling boxes (the first day, I did a weeks quota). 40 hour weeks, paychecks for $0.00.....fun stuff  |  IP: Logged
