ENDING DO, ENDING DO, ENDING DO !!!

Warning - Usual Personal Rambling post

The past one week has been tumultous.

Writing a script ..hoping it gets made …the premise is “out of the box” …but the 4 solutions that i had offered were not doing justice to the premise.

As Navdeep Singh, Machchar Kumar and PhonixNu say “A good idea isnt enough …it has to be a SCRIPT”

Making what they call in computer engg a Binary Tree..or a Decision Tree

Thinking..ideating..jotting down possibilities…a THRILLER HAS TO THRILL !!! and a THRILLER HAS TO HAVE A CONCLUSION!!!

Says who ?
Says my “Smarting Revenge”

Almost everything i am trying is coming down to a nolan-ish residue at its heart…but having my soul. Damn why do i love Memento so much ?
Where is christopher nolan ? What is he doing ? What is he doing right now ??? Don’t friggin say Dark Knight !!!

Where is Sriram Sir after the lovely “sculptured” Johnny Gaddar ?? the brilliantly layered film ??

Sirs…Aashirwaad Do !!! (No i dont mean the DVD of the innocent and lovely film starring Ashok Kumar)

And of course there is the oldboy influence…
sometimes i think no matter what i do ..i cannot get away from these two films(Memento and Oldboy) …and of course mani sir…how do u consciously avoid something u love and instead do something “that you are” ?

May be its bound to be … when ur soooooo drunk ..u r bound to have a hangover the other day…only as the day progresses .. the hangover passes away..then u r are your comfortable self …

Didnt get it ? Lemme explain..

u get drunk when u see ur fav director’s/actor’s/genre’s films …. then the first effort is always a ‘hangover’ of them …may be the 3rd or the 4th …you discover yourself ….

“YOU HAVENT EVEN WRITTEN A COMPLETE SCREENPLAY AND ALREADY YOU ARE SOUNDING LIKE RGV ????”

Yes..forgive me for that …..

Saw the Coen Bros Miller’s crossing. Loved it ..didnt understand it though fully.but loved it ….

Dabba’s post made me re-examine everything. The villan needs a motivation. He needs a face. Damn right he does ..

Why ? What for ? Yes he does … There must be a resolution…the resolution must be strong…Else it will be an anticlimax…not unless u r making something like zodiac (David GOD Fincher) or the korean masterpiece Memories of Murder (BRILLIANT) ..Which i confess i cant ..

Am half way through..the post intermission is left ..now i know why it’s called inter-mission. Its the mid point of a mission. THE MISSION ..the hero is on a mission ..the story is on a mission …. the mission must be completed at the end of the show. it neednt be right..it neednt be correct..it must be complete…

i dont even know what the above mentioned statement means ..but it does have a meaning..if i knew it ..would i not be writing the script instead of this blog ?

It would be soooooo easy to go the charlie kauffman way and write like adaptation..an aspiring screenwriter writing about a crime thriller..and getting stuck….may be thats more Donald Kauffman though than Charlie ….

Went out on a sort of a ‘date’ the other day after aaaages …. had beer …Got labelled as a “sick-psycho-disgusting-ass” again ..as usual…..nothing new …nothing unbelievable ….

Thats what it shouldnt be ..there must be something new..and something believable too !!!

came home to find out the mulund-sikh-flare-up. Trains..roads..buses..autos jammed
Nothing new again in a city like bombay..oops mumbai…

Have been perching here in the house alone in airoli ….thinking..working … boozing…more thinking…
I havent even gone out to drink a cup of tea !!! Can you believe that ?

Inertia is dangerous ..Stationary inertia is worse …

Stationary inertia is wanting to do it ..but not doing it …
At times i fall here …. and many more of the people i know …

Kinetic Inertia is doing it soooo much that you dnt even have time to think ..it’s like am busy driving the car so fast that i dont even have time to fill in petrol !!!
It’s wat RGV’s Factory was may be 2-3 years ago ….

Must wash my undies …need to go down the 4th floor and get surf excel detergent…Excel ??? Farhaan Akthar ? No i dont want a SRK or an AB Sr..I WANT AN ENDING !!!

Sriram Sir and Christopher Nolan where are you ????

How about computer hacking angle in the plot ?
NO
How about RAW/DRDO/ISRO Angle ?
NO !!!!
How about Pakistan ??
NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
How about Terrorism ???
NEVER !!!
How about a Vodka ?
Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss !!!

ZZZzzzzzurya I am coming ………
