Hey everyone, we've just added a new lounge topic for Favorite Movie Quotes. Check it out here and let the Stage 32 community know some of your favorite movie quotes!

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. As a female performer and also a fierce believer of equality in the workplace, I have always introduced my profession as being an "actor." More and more I am "corrected" by the people that I am talking to with "I think you mean 'actress'". It was my understanding that the term "actress" was outdated, and now it was more politically correct to say "female actor," "male actor." Personally, I prefer the latter. I feel that by using the same word to describe us all it puts us on an equal playing field; the word "actress" just sounds less professional and serious to me--as if I'm still the little girl I was when I was 3 dreaming of being a big performer one day (not that there was anything wrong with that). I'm curious to know: Females: what do you introduce your profession as? What else have people heard the most?

What time of day do you have your best ideas?

I am pleased to announce that Producer Steve Roeder has optioned my epic gangster/baseball drama “The Negro League”. I developed the logline and synopsis last month and Steve immediately pitched the idea to the History Channel. They passed on the concept, saying it sounded “very classy” but were looking for something more “badass”. However, Tyler Perry Productions expressed an interest in reading and possibly developing this story. Over a ten day period, sitting down at the laptop for long stretches of work, I wrote a first draft that Steve sent over to TPP today. Please stay tuned for further developments.

There is currently a post discussing how you consider your own script titles, but I'm curious to learn what titles you feel really nailed it. Which ones make you stop and think, "Wow, great title."

Hello All, First off, I have no ability to write a screenplay... I applaud all of you who can, your amazing, this industry would not exist without a good story. With that being said, I have a wonderful story (in my head) that I feel could be a good movie.... how do I go about getting someone to work with me on writing it? This story has been rattling around in my head for a couple of years now and I feel it really needs to be told.

Creed 2 is a mistake, totally predictable, slow, unintuitive, and drags from seeing movies plenty throughout the years the use of being informed while watching the news when at a bar just shows the stage after stage of copying a model, and I’m not somebody who likes to watch the news that tells the same story over and over again.

I feel a coming, everything is going to change, but wonder how its rating dares to reach above 5.6. The first was terrible but it was better than this slow thing. I mean are these people that love to drive on the slow lane, that like these ridiculous slouchy creations.

Michael B Jordan is quite good, but has he been given room to manoeuvre with this type of pace in the film, I suggest he tried but even he becomes stale because of the rhythm.

I would had flipped this script and made it hard, y'all coming out of the theatre like you've just had a thrill.

The Rocky days are over that was past, it’s now 2019, look what surpassed a Black Panther movie got nominated because of its ingenuity.

I'm bored, is this for people living boring lives, the let's watch a movie types.

I mean I've had my phone out, I'm even typing this post.

What's happened to these actors, at least Margot Robbie is firing.

What does everyone think? A little stagnant at the moment? Plays need to step-up a gear to a more realistic format, perhaps closer to reality T.V.? Knowing we're watching a movie feels great, but how will it feel when presented in a 'no holds barred augmented' real-life flow? Danger, anticipation, at quick speeds. In real-life this is the scenario that stages a swim in the deep-end scenario. A spark of that fire, a rush of wind, who's going to keep-up? I think the audience will. They are ready? A dash of lime can come, we’ve had ENOUGH of a pinch of salt.

The greats have already found, this is why De Niro can diversify, and try new things. Problem is others are stuck, unable to get out of what they have created in the past. Matthew McConaughey is now in this situation. Jennifer has come out of friends though Jet Li, even Jackie Chan, etc, etc, can't find another way. It's like somebody who has taken a job and stuck with it, they're not a janitor, but think they are because it's now been 10 years. Get too attached too what you think you’re looking for and it will be like super glue. Give and let go, apply the super glue and you retract your energy and move onto what's next, the glue does its job. Christian Bale is good at this, even Bradley Cooper, A Star is Born, looks extraordinary, as he directs and acts. The pedestal is long gone, now actors Direct and act etc, produce etc. Meshed there is no extraordinary individual in one space, but those that have the ability move, do and finish. The light bulb is the light bulb and it is done.

Whiplash... exciting and riveting. When we thinking of extreme precision this us the level I thought was required, if so wished upon because it exists, and the screenwriter Damien Chazelle is in vogue. After La La Land you know this guy is precise. Now if you production companies were looking for genius, actively participating in discovering it hence Whiplash (obviously not so so extreme) but with the sane intensive passion without abuse, y'all find that very stunning brilliance, that level of awe because y'all see it, notice it and prove it within a fraction of a second such as evident n example by a masterpiece movie, whereby the actor (Miles Teller) himself understood the detail.

Such fascination, but disappointment in some of these scouts, looking to copy and paste rather than create magic. Flexibility is the number one access key to inception of greatness.

I know where London is... I'd said London, England. Do you think she would had retorted the same if I'd said London, Canada? Not her fault I've recently acknowledged the pompous behaviour of builders/tradesmen, at the top of their field failing too identify simple executions as brilliant rather seeing them as an insult to the trade. Point being never see any as super or supreme, just because the thorough position they have might seem sophisticated to the dime, you do not know who you speak too. Otherwise they take all that specialness of which you have and make it dull, while placing the dull picture on the wall as art. Striking yes, but on the second visit, it is no longer interesting, it is nothing. It almost takes away the worth of the first visit, too the point of the third and fourth visit, you'd rather look at the plain painted white wall, because that lends more too imagination than that temporary copycat painting.

Only beauty is fine and free, open and expressive the small door that leads to Neverland. Just like the girl who knows she shouldn't be with you but wants to trick you into being with her, what out! She's not pretty enough, and she knows it, it;s an outright disgrace! One friendly encounter is enough and that's all she deserves, and that's what these weal movies eve with big names attached to the, deserve! One watch, at least by those conscientious enough to distinguish what's been proposed as as enough for a moment, but recollective as a classic, never!

Are you getting excited by the possible success in trickery for monetary gain is the question or unfair advantage against sense for a progressive sensed life?

Bringing confusion so that you can gain is a terrible acquisition and proven is this by that Weinstein, and the rest of these disgusting people, thinking they have power and glory, but nothing exists but waste in the end.

The Feminists..

If you comment on things like 'huh', you are the inadequate one.

Me, me, me, me, what about Steven Spielberg, perhaps evidently he hasn't been so inclined by his way of life to have a female lead, not his problem.

Does she want more roles (women in general), she has to break habits and make it happen, either look for innovative independent screenwriters, producers the whole lot.

It's not his prerogative, it's hers.

The question is… do these actors ever get bored? I question Jason Bateman… as it’s as consistent and the same as ever. Morgan Freeman just looks BORED. Samuel L. Jackson was until he got too push more and we saw excitement in him thrill through his body in his performance for The Legend of Tarzan. Why, who, what? And so what if there are MANY shows on TV, there’s a time for everything… and now it’s showing through the actors. Is it NOW becoming a chore? Bored of the same tones, I mean Jack Whitehall I noticed in his first scene for Mother’s Day, how slow and perhaps taught he’d been made too act. The same tones who’s it all done for? 1940’s up until the 80’s the drops of shadows in these boring things need to elevate. People and the world is different. The truth shall set us free regardless of political correctness etc, censoring, etc, blah, blah, what, what, who, who, scared and afraid, bringing nonspecial standards too people that are in need of better. Everybody would prefer too have an original fashion label rather than a knock-off. The magical twilight is that in the end the truth will erupt.

Carmichael ignores the notes if they are not the truth. Ansari had to write it himself too be lead. Key speaks of systematic data. Lowe had a list of parts he shouldn’t play because of how pretty he looks. Ha-ha-ha-ha! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8Be3MgtXLI

34:14 Theirs no one else in my WRITING room… it’s me and a cup of coffee :) x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kwbbU2fMdA

My Father a Doctor indeed, very aware in politics... I asked him something today, he went on told me of LEGITIMATE EXPLOITATION. This makes me feel sick. Dumb 'earthlings' as one producer interpreted in her OWN way what people are in the film that I described to her. I mentioned not the 'earthling' word AT ALL, this came from her mouth... 'the earthlings'? ... "Hello... are we in wonder world or are we listening". So caught up in the hype... just like those following TRUMP! Dizzy around studios, more dizzy when on a phone call... 'Keep it together' Eddie Murphy had to say in Bow Finger. Who's seeking ownership in order to exploit. People winging it. There was once a saying when it comes to housing, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Hollywood tried to sue Paul John Hollywood, and then realised how long in generation that name is in his line. ARROGANCE. They think some special effects is the best thing in the world, an emotional movie, remember get the balance, EVERYTHING IS NOTHING. There's no specialism here, it's all a copy of REALITY or attempt to create something and at reality it truly isn't real as to my breathing air. So what you do is not super special unless there is virtue behind it. Hunger Games etc etc, Allegiant, etc, these movies, Terminator, showing the dumb with geeky greedy minds giggling at the very creation that can destroy this beautiful earth. Hungry, Hungry to get an award, not hungry to feed VIRTUE to the very beautiful minds created and witnessed as life... equal...not by location, location of happenstance. People think they are adults but they are children. https://www.facebook.com/BusinessInsider.Politics/videos/101502708524029...

If your agenda is wrong she will sense it. The truth is what’s important. The woman does not wish for a man to approach her with a formula a robot… weird. She wants an original… the man to own who he is. She will prefer the truth or present attempt of a weirdo, than the man that tries to fool her and then becomes very weird, even if he looks like Superman… the current one. He’ll come off as creepy. If you are changing things for the sake of a so called proven formula you restrict life and it’s growth. The idea of plenty goes… I’ve heard that line before or you’re stuttering trying to fool us with the attempt of portraying yourself as something you are NOT as a person who copies frequently because there is no identity. The Bourne Identity. The Bourne Supremacy. The Bourne Ultimatum… these have all led to the truth and the title is as simple but mighty as can be… Jason Bourne. These are truth tellers the consistency is right there… throughout… a thrill… a real movie. The approach is Chris Nolan, the Approach is The Terminator up to 2 I guess. The approach is transformers… a world of greed is a dying world, and this is what this movie industry portrays at some point. Are you special because you copy? Now that’s a good question. The woman does not think so… she’s given you a chance to be you, but you did not take it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw9nC8J2rBk&list=PLiJC12qFqVo2BjGPXAn1la...

You see I have just watched The Birth of a Nation Trailer, I was impressed not to post anything critical or outshining rather to that of the normal arrivals by - myself. Now... White superiority is somewhat glanced at and perhaps elements of reinforcement for viewers is shown, perhaps this effect works as a reminder in the wrong way... done on purpose now that's a totally different question - I doubt it, but could it be possible, who are these instigators. To shut the voices was a paramount move of slavery. It's been happening since. Only now, are Black or other than whites, been seen quite clearly for fear of reprisals and this includes women... I mean we live in a PLACE where DONALD TRUMP runs for Presidency... you call this life a joke... people they say they are professionals... Trump says the same. They sit in their suits, who are these people just so by be it maybe they arrived at the place however they did it they are there JUST LIKE TRUMP. Now anyone and nobody can fool me in sight to revelation of my analysis of them... and I am straight to the point.... just like that. There is no vail... no clouds... who are these people? Talk to me about study... Donald Trump went to Yale, this is what he uses such so called intellect for rubbish... complete nonsense... but for the cruel attempts to flash gold or portray what is weak as strong by manipulation and tactics that one might think is clever but in the end it can not be of glory. Speak to me tell me... but I pretend not, in the flesh and on the computer, as it is WRITTEN and as it is on screen. Life is comical too some but STARS exist, constructed ALIGNED. Galaxies, Universe, I have no time for nonsense, when great spectacular things happen around us. Professionals that only NOW make woman lead movies, that participate in what reality is, NOT by their thinking, but BY demand of the voice of the people, Tell me about professionalism... tell me about bowing to money... yes master, yes master... all for money profit and gain... dumbing down minds, that's where their very own children will live and just like the movie says 'People think things will stay the same' but even the weather changes, so don't tell me about smart... about experience... technical experience... (fine) as if you can rule the world when smart people exist. Even the movie (THE BIG SHORT) exposes and shows everything… no building is greater than the sky… and we all experience the SKY because it IS MORE IMPORTANT! Stepping up from notions of insanity... I state that money is nothing, just as small as the earth is in contrast (Milky Way) mind everything… for a home you walk too or anybody including TRUMP walks too... but one day he enters no longer (earth)... perhaps he's moved and such is life... DO WHAT IS RIGHT. How many lessons can ONE PLANET be shown... efforts must be MADE to get them solidly seeing confidently and that includes those that support TRUMP... He's a businessman, glitter and gold, tallest building... good at statements... but at the end of staying at one of his places... he gets more wealthy. Suddenly there's a healthy mixture of people from different backgrounds in roles, at least clearly visible by eye. The sky is greater than what’s that of the earth …for space increases... therefore imagine a world where the white man is SLAVE to the black man... not as Planet of the Apes... (perhaps you're trying to avoid riots or craziness)... but written correctly this will not happen. Attending for audiences that are viewing movies 3/4/5/6 times, this is not SUCCESSFUL these are people that are throwing crisps in the AIR, while laughing hysterically, just as TRUMPS supporters... who ever this is FOR that of whom reads it - be well increase and write well, what is my participation - it definitely is not nonsense... and those that think it is are precisely what I am talking about. Keep the vail on as operating within it will take you all the way JUST like Mr. Trump... but perhaps in the END he might see... WHO KNOWS! ;) xx
