Interest in "Just Between Enemies"

And I quote:

"My office may have an interest in representing this script for major studio development. We look forward to discussing this matter at length soon and hope to hear from you soon!"

Got the E-mail on Monday from a Los Angeles based production company. I replied yesterday. We will see. Keep your fingers crossed.

I submitted the screenplay to Scriptapalooza as well.

Just Between Enemies

Log Line:

Motivated by revenge for their father’s murder, two brothers and their friend, plan to destroy two warring crime lords in an elaborate sting.

Synopsis:

Upon learning what really happened in the brutal and untimely death of their father, two brothers with the aid of their best friend, plot their revenge. Once involved, however, they realize they have put themselves in the middle of a territorial battle between “bad” and “worse”. Only by using a combination of street smarts, higher learning, and some savvy investment strategy can they attempt to wriggle free from two crime lords bent on destroying each other and anyone else who gets in their way.

WOW... 18 - 1

18 - !
Eighteen... and one.

Eighteen wins!

one loss.

The Best Super Bowl ever.






And spoken by a Raider fan no less. OK. Best since Marcus Allen was MVP. (For all you Raider fans out there)

If you are a Raider fan, you remember that game in the snow in New England? The one that saw the rise of Tom Brady and the decline of the Oakland Raiders. The one in which Brady fumbled and the Referee and the Instant Replay official said he didn't. You remember?

He fumbled didn't he. Yup, you're a Raider fan.

Yo Miami fans. You must be ecstatic. Larry Czonka is still the best power fullback I ever saw.

Congratulations NY Giant fans. A game for the ages. I'm writing the screenplay as we speak.

What is it about New York football teams as National Football League Goliath slayers?

Say it ain't so Joe. You and your New York Jets can no longer lay claim to the greatest upset in NFL history. Jets over Colts. Great. Nice. It certainly had it all: predictions, first AFL team to win the Lombardi Trophy, all that stuff. Real great. Nice. But guess what. Your NFC cousins now can lay claim to that title and rightfully so.

New England fans? ahem. Ummmmm. What can I say? Now you know how it feels? Curse of the Babe anyone? Sure. Why not? Baseball, football, who cares. You are now officially cursed, again. Eighteen wins... end of story.

Lynn Swann. Guess what? Your catch against Dallas in Super Bowl number... I forget. Nice catch but its officially number two now. Greatest catch in Super Bowl history now belongs to.....drum roll please... David Tyree.

The Manning brothers story? Come on. If this isn't the Disney movie to end all Disney movies. The greatest game ever played, at least this week is not about Golf, nor Hockey, or Baseball. No. For the next ten days or so its about a team that did what nobody thought they could do:

Slay Goliath.

Thank You NFL.

End of the World?

I'm getting two different dates here, Mayan calender speaking:

October twenty-eighth 2011 or December twenty-first 2012. It's all rather cloudy.

Mr. Weinland has his thoughts on the subject relayed to him directly by the God of Abraham. I've left his PDF book, 2008 - God's Final Witness, in Cool Sites. Read it, if you will, then cast your vote.

Homer says,"Time is accelerating. Hope there's beer in heaven."

Peace,

Screamman

Bad Beat

OK. So. I play poker, right. And I have KK. And, a guy in front pushes from middle position. I'm on the button and middle stacked. I'm in the hunt. And we are in hour 7, of a tourney that normally runs 8 hours on the internet. Absolute slowest tourney of all time. Eleven dollar buy-in for a chance to win nineteen thousand. I'm already in the money, being in 26th spot out of a field of 19,000. Big field. 40 left. I have 3 point two mill. and that still only puts me middle stack. There are two guys way out in front.

He's just put his whole stack at risk.

Which leaves me, if I lose, out of the tournament.

I'm listening to this tuneage at the time. F.E.A.R.



I think: Did I just run into AA?
I think: You know your KK kurse Scream.
I think: Guys a player. He's a bomb. Doesn't normally risk a lot pre-flop. Borderline shark.
I think: Can't fold KK. Ive won $307, at least I've won some already.
I think: Call.
I do: Call, I'm all in.

The rest fold.

I see his cards. He sees mine. He has 23 suited in hearts? WTF? Who is this guy? Sam Farha? Gus Hanson? A complete fuckin' donk who just made a real donk move? At this point I'm happy. No AA. Still though why push with that? I almost feel a twinge of sorrow for this guy; to play so long and push with that.

Flop comes: K A Hearts, 3 of Clubs.

I think: Fuck-off flush draw. I know 23 likes that flop. But I like it too. I'm approximately 2 out of 3, hearts don't hit on turn or river.

Burn and turn. 3 spade.

Good for me. I just hit full house. I'm solid. Flush draw is dominated.

The River card. 3 diamond.

Stunned silence.

Are you kidding me?

And then from out of the blackness, I can hear his YES! YES! YES! in my brain.

I can feel the blood rushing from my head. Brain cells begin to shut down. Runner Runner for quad? Shit for brains, gives me the sheepish "sorry dude gg" (good game). Whatever.

I just paid my hydro bill for three months and am royally pissed. That hand would have grabbed me a seat at "final table" for sure. Kiss $19,203 goodbye.








Ok. I'm not a big fan of the bluff and, to me, this is a bad play by Moneymaker. Sam on the other hand has played so many bad cards pre-flop in his career he probably psyched himself out with a fairly decent hand to Chris's shite. Money maker went on to put amateur and internet poker on the map. Nice legacy. And, Of course, the name helped.

As for Gus and Dan, well... the video says it all. But, the "huh" from Dan is my all time fave.

______________

The high points of 2007, poker wise, for me were: a first out of a field of 2596 and a second out of 2633, both poker Stars tourneys; Ring table wise, I knocked down one thousand dollars twice in two 12 hour sessions, playing dollar blinds. Starting with a bank roll of 200. I played in the Sunday mill three times on PS, finishing in the money once. All play was as "Alter-Ego Screamman", who holds the secret power of anonymity.

I'll give you a hint: he's a bomb, and he's a fish, and he's a shark. He was once a mouse. He never wants to go back there again. He likes to put an "x" before and after his xnamex. His avatar is somewhere on this blog, and it isn't Goatee man here. Get to work Holmes.

Save us Screamman

The New Name Has Arrived

Good-Bye "Screamwriter" Hello "SCREAMMAN".

I decided to go with one of my online poker handles: Screamman. He's an enigma; a mystery wrapped around a piece of bacon and tossed behind a riddle. As the painting makes abundantly clear, there are many Screammen, each with his own super power, surfing the world wide web to spread peace and joy and happiness to all who need the solace of the Screamman.
