*puts a wallet under your tongue*

Let it out, babe. You'll feel better.

**hugs Cleo** **pokes Cleo's writing gnomes with a stick**

Cookie is filled with many hallucinogens relaxents.. I think you need them.

I'm sorry. If it's worth anything, people will love the parody anyway, and it'll be worth it. I hope.

But until then, just...I don't know. Keep trying. It'll pull itself together, hopefully.

If you send me your address, I'll mail you some Pocky.

Oh, you mean your automatic, self-typing keys aren't working either?! Ack, what is wrong with technology today?!?!?! *sulks*

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

A wallet?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I've never had pocky. What's it like?

Perk up.

Fantasy novels run 400 manuscript pages, without all the white space of script format.

Cleo, Titanic's a frickin' long movie. I saw it once on a flight from Munich to Washington DC, and that pretty much took over our takeoff to landing timespan. Kinda. There was that one obnoxious business who needed our help as he obsessively compulsively moved his laptop around the storage of the almost empty Business Class. He was a big timesuck. Until I told him that if the pilot ordered us into crash positions he should remember to follow Kate Winslet. 'Cause she lives.

So.

You know what each of my published writer friends tell me? "The hardest part is meeting the deadlines."

You are not alone. But you know that, which is why you posted your cyber-scream.

I hate to say it, but the movie wouldn't freaking end either. Perhaps it will be an evergoing cycle of CRAP.

::went to see that movie for the first time with a friend who's a nautical historian.::

Run Cleo! Run while you can!

I actually have no clue what it means, just another MST3K reference that makes me laugh without knowing why.

[pygmymetal.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, I wanted the ship to frickin sink!

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Is it okay for us to laugh at your pain? I'm sorry. It reminds me of the "Why don't you go to your home? Are you too good for your home?!" rant in Happy Gilmore.

Also, twenty-nine pages? Damn, I thought these were Movies in Fifteen Minutes. Can't you cut out all the, I don't know, people, and write the whole movie from the perspective of the ship?

TITANIC: All good.

TITANIC: Yeah, all good.

TITANIC: Damn, this is a lot of people.

DOLPHINS: Eek, click click!

TITANIC: Fucking dolphins.

TITANIC: OMGWTF ICEBERG!!

The end.

(Good luck, yo. Feel better.)

Dude, for real. I would actually give anything to be working on Black Ribbon right now--just plain narrative prose, anything. This is going to sound like a conceited analogy unless you take it the right way, but these movie parodies work a little like poetry--in that every line has to earn its place. There can't be extraneous filler or pleasant tangents. Particularly since it's specifically "in fifteen minutes"--"brevity" is the watchword. And usually when I'm in a tight spot, I can just start freewriting or rambling and eventually I get what I want and I cut the rest. I can't do that here. RAHHH.

Yay! I totally don't remember it--not that I've seen all five jillion eps--but if it's MST3K, it's okay with me.

[koritsimou.livejournal.com]

Yay! MSTies unite!

[bast-setesh.livejournal.com]

You forgot:

ICEBERG: I cut you, bitch!

TITANIC: Oh, sh--*garblegarble*

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

Oh, I just thought of another question for the FAQ:

"Are they really fifteen minutes long? Do you read them out loud and time them?"

RAHHH.

Ooh, you should put a "SHE-" in front of that.

*comforts*

But now that i've done that, I need to laugh, because you are so hilarious at expressing your anger. Your "current music" made me burst into giggles, and teh entry itself was very humorous.

:is slowly becoming a very rabid cleo fangirl:

[genesisdesire.livejournal.com]

Send ME your addy and I'll send you...um...a posty? Maybe some relaxing bubble bath? Possibly a cute animal drawing? Your choice.

[unexplored.livejournal.com]

This is the greatest thing I have read all damn day. THANK YOU for cracking me up. :)

[theatre-angel.livejournal.com]

*many hugs*

You're an amazing writer. Not just for comedy, but just an amazing writer in general. You'll finish it.

*hugs*

Pocky ROCKS. My favorite treat when I lived in japan was pocky.
It's these graham-sticks dipped in chocolate, or some other kind of flavored chocolate like stuff. like vanilla or white chocolate or strawberry or mm.
