Now you probably have no idea who I am. You probably don't care. In fact, the whole concept of a ghetto town is probably the only reason why you've even opened this silly topic. And yet, there is truth in all this.

I'm working on a film which will actually be broadcasted on one of those local network channels that nobody ever takes seriously. But hey, its still being broadcasted. And yet its going to be something insane! Its the Ghetto Town Super Heroes a live action sattire that sort of combines Seinfeld with the 60's Batman sitcom.

Ghetto Town is basically the stupid town that everyone had to go to high school at. It looks like the slums, its known for the druggies, the whores, the crazy old men that attack you with lead pipes if you tread on their lawn. The people are miserable as they walk about the streets. The youths spend their days playing b-ball or the nerds sit around making posts in post apocalyptic message boards. Its basically where you live.

And the super heroes are just normal people, yet they want to make things better. Yet with names such as the ones they have and with villains being the people from your childhood nightmares such as that one creepy janitor in junior high who you swore was really Freddy Kreuger, you'll know that there's something special with the heroes from the Ghetto.

Anyways, I'll probably be posting pictures, costume art, a possible script for the pilot episode, and of course I'll put the finished pilot on the web for everyone's viewing pleasure. I'm going for something that's about 15 minutes long. Short and sweet to the point. And don't worry there will be plenty of action and philosophical crap to make you roll your eyes.

And who knows, maybe I'll make a few extra episodes. We have some in mind. Anyways, if you, for some reason, would have any questions about why I'm doing this, or what the heck I'm talking about, ya might as well just throw it up on me. If ya have any ideas for a ghetto super hero satire, just toss em up to me.

You can catch me at Wolfsbane@attbi.com or you can just talk to me in this topic.

Anyways, this is just one of those things that I'm excited about ya know? I'll start filming in late spring.

Sounds kinda interesting actually... More in a "You're doing what you want, good luck to you. Getting to this stage is the first step and not a lot of people make it even that far" kinda way, rather than the "Yeah, I'd watch it" way.

You said you'd publish it on the net. Got a URL?

Ya know...

People will probably just scratch their heads. I doubt older people will get it. You have to be young and silly and always wonder what actually made a super hero super...

Heh

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Feb-03-03 AT 00:40AM (GMT)[p]My parents are in their 50s and they don't get comedy. They consider it all as silly, foolish, ridiculous. Now my father will laugh at any farting sound in a movie, my mother will well...no she doesn't really like comedies.

Take Kung Pow for instance. That is comedic genius. Although most people hate it.

Now, I sit here and think to my self, I have a homemade movie...will old people understand what I'm trying to make as funny? Will they see that I'm making light of super hero movies, tv shows, cartoons, and comics? Eh...or will they just think I'm some moronic kid who has nothing better to do.

"Get a real job," they might say. Hmph. I've gone through that before.

RE: Heh

So you come in here, plug what your doing, and then tell us we're too old to see it? That's an outrage that is. I am enraged. I am becoming violent.

Er...

Actually its kind of my way of being humble. Stupid wording I guess. All I was saying is that it probably won't be funny to you guys anyways. I don't really see myself as being successful as anything. I dunno. Low self-esteem or something, thats all. Its my way of saving face. Its like, "I'm doing a satire on super-heroes. I really want to do it, you're probably not going to like it. If you're older you might not really care about it..." blah blah blah.

Tell you the truth, that is a really stupid way to talk about a project your doing. I guess ya might as well forget I even typed it. Sometimes, I have no idea why I open my mouth. I mean well, thats for sure. I'm just not always on the same level with everyone. My sincere apologies for getting you upset.

I'm serious. =/

Well, we'll never know if we like it or not if you don't spill the beans.

No, it's because you will fail. Trust me, I know. You're going to fail, and you're going to fail miserably. This will be the worst moment of your life. Well... except for maybe when you marry your dog. But that's still a few years away yet.

Yes, it is very much like that. To be more accurate though, it's more like what you had in your first post.

See, now I just want to kill you. Very violently too, with a cheese knife.
