Ezen Baklattan Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Welp, Alpha says that Heaven is his masterpiece, and then we have Ric's comment. One of you is going to be wrong. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The Oscar race in CAYOM is more competitive than ever, it seems. The key then is to avoid the early hype. Cause I see some people here throwing out how X film they're making is gonna be Da Bomb, and it's a good way to blow the wad too early. Gotta sneak some high quality stuff in there to steal the thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Plus I've accepted the fact that I'm not going to have a big BP nomination for my films.I'm mostly aiming for technical categories. Then now you're Rukaio's worst enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause I see some people here throwing out how X film they're making is gonna be Da Bomb, and it's a good way to blow the wad too early. Gotta sneak some high quality stuff in there to steal the thunder. That's the best way to make a movie. Shut up. You will hype it so much that even a masterpiece will seem underwhelming. Worked well for some of my movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I guess I should stop promoting Heaven, since of course when I hype something it always turns out dissapointing. (cough...Kansas...cough) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riczhang Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) I'm like halfway (?) through my next PTA/Coen movie, but I like haven't had the time between work and spending a month in china with the bf mountaining and then Russia and like the only time I've had to write was on the plane ride back and like now that I'm back like there's so much shit to deal with and like my motivation is kinda diminishing, but I really do want to finish it and yeah... It's a slow wip, but it should be ready soon? It's gonna be totally different than most of my other films and certainly my coen films. It explores similar themes, but through the lens of drug addiction, suicide and being gay, set in Hollywood. (Starring Garrett Hedlund of course ) Edited August 15, 2014 by riczhang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorschach Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm hoping to at least be a frontrunner in one category this year. That is my goal so far. My intention is to build up every year to the point of being a major contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I don't even know when I'll be making my next movie tbh... I might actually take a break for Q3 for college prep (moving Hateful Eight Redux and Area 142 to Q4 and ignoring everything else for the timebeing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I kinda struck lucky with the 4Chan movies back in my first year (Year 5). Never thought I'd win an Oscar in my first year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I've been thinking; how long do you guys think this game will go? We ran into a giant pothole in Year 8; how much longer until this game finally runs out of steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably 'till most people around here get a job and essentially start putting their lives ahead of this forum and game. Like The Creator did, for example.

Ezen Baklattan Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I also may need to cut back heavily, considering how I'm having to go back to college, too. If so, Moments of Silence and Pixie Dust would be first on the chopping block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
