wow its been august since I crawled into this space and spilled my thoughts.

I have thunk a lot recently and i guess itll all spill out here so excuse me if I ramble or talk crap but hey this is my time! my time!

Good now that you're all gone I can talk. The Premiere went well, the day just flew by, there was a great turn out, an amazing applause that still makes me tingly and the reaction was great, I havent heard a bad opinion of it yet. Sure there were some things that need fixed or can't be fixed but this was my first feature film and we did everything ourselves (the cast and crew that is not me and my imaginary friend. You don't do heavy work do you Bobby? Do you?!? Layabout!) So I think we did pretty well and I'm hella proud of everyone involved, what a talented bunch. I noticed things at the screening I wasn't even aware of like how Ross (intentionally or unintentionally) takes David (lead male and straight character of the movie) and gives him a subtle progression. At the beginning he's moody but cocky and cheeky towards Benny. By the time he sits on the bench with Lynsay he's melancholy and subdued. At the canteen table he's about to give up and then he seems to get a bit of swagger back about him and grow a pair. Or maybe I wrote it that way and never noticed. Then there is Chris, who took a whiny, know-it-all farmers boy and turned that character into the retarded bastard step child of Lloyd Christmas and I can't watch that guy without laughing now, he stole the show for me. Big Gareth with his L'oreal moments and his effortless cool. David with his quest for knowledge and search for the inner Marc. Tony playing a perfect homo-phobe! Cat playing Cat. Rachel playing sweet and tempting, Scott's ever expanding role and Jennifer playing dual roles and getting that broad down note-perfect. Not to mention Big Fat Toni and Her sexy dancer who people can't get enough of. I mean this movie has it all, hot girls, good looking guys, killer tripods, cowboys, 100 year old cameras, gangsters, love triangles, slow-motion, pigeons, musical numbers, dark alleyways, girl's in guy's coats, a "ka", a fat man you never see, a three line joke that we kick the arse out of, the a-team, thundercats, airwolf, will smith, a bugs life, baywatch, knight rider, the hoff, milk, mail fraud, evil janitors, chloroform, talking to yourself, homo-phobic rants, politically un-correct at every turn, lesbian pole-dancers, my mum. God it's like Clerks on crack but tasty.

And if you don't wanna see it after that you better check your pulse cos Im coming at ya with a sledgehammer and I want you distracted!

So for your pleasure I give you an idea I had today for a potential sequel. See if this takes off and Im famous Im gonna need to cash in a few years down the line when I get my first stinker and my career hits the shits so I'll pull out this one "Pondlife: Take 2".

Set 10 years later (yes, like Clerks 2, what do you want a badge?" Imagine, David, Johnny, Benny et al working on or hanging around the set of KNIGHT RIDER: THE MOVIE. Cue cameo from The Hoff. I reckon by now Ruth is in porn and Simon is Will Smith's PA/Gay lover (yeah I never saw it coming either). Marc still hasnt been found in fact they're making a movie about it across the lot lol. So things would happen, don't wanna give it away but this little exchange might take place, I thought it up today, so sue me if it sucks you can bite my ass! ;)

EXT. LOT - KNIGHT RIDER THE MOVIE - STUDIO 2, DAY.

Standing against the wall are our favourite guys. Johnny, DAvid and Benny. They are in mid conversation.

BEnny: So, David I heard you and Kay were pretty close at the party last night?

David: You just started the day, how'd you know that?

BEnny: News travels fast.

DAvid: Aye well travel it slower eh. We were getting along fine and then it all went to bloody pot!

Johnny: That happened to me once.

Benny: What you were getting off with a mega famous actress, starring in your movie in the middle of a club full of famous people and you made an arse of yourself?

Johnny: No, I was with a girl. We were getting a bit steamy. My tongue was in her throat, my hand in her delicates and I'm whistling "take me home country roads all the way fuckmeville. Then we hit a brick wall.

David Figuratively?

Johnny: No, we actually hit a brick wall, I was driving her Dad's Merc at the time.

THey both pull an "ouch face!"

Johnny: Word of warning, when you are getting it on wi a bird and you crash into a brick wall don't ask why she stopped.

BEnny: Anyway listen to you!

David: What?

Benny: Figuratively? Where'd you get these big bloody words?!

David: It's called a Dictionary Benny, look it up.

Benny: In what?

David: What?

BEnny: Well I mean, is the word "dictionary" in the dictionary?

David: What the fuck are you on about?

Benny: I said is the word dictionary in the dictionary? and if it is, is there a picture of a dictionary next to it?

David: benny fuck off!

Johnny: No hold on, Benny may actually have a point. I mean if you had to actually look up the meaning of the word dictionary and you used a dictionary to do so wouldn't that defeat the purpose?

David looks at them both, his whole world may have turned upside down if benny has this one right.

Scene.

So it's not the best but what do you want for nothing. let me know what you think either here or on the board.

See ya.
