What If? # 1, 1976

eBay threatened me with a total ban the last time I did that. If they had not been making so much coin off of me, I believe they would have done so.... CAL who will think of a better way to get this done...

I have been to several Producer Rep Group meetings, and this is NOT how it works. If I took time away to drive 2 hours one way( no traffic) and did this and got turned away what a total waste of effort that would have been. I used to work for Central Casting in 1995-6 off and on as an Extra and this is NOT how it works. That was BEFORE the studios farming out Productions to Vancouver, New Orleans, Boise, etc. I still talk to Bill Dance every now and then, he asked me who the girl I had during one of my short film screenings at UCLA back in the day. Almost everyone else I used to work with, including Dave McNary of the Pasadena Ice House, have either moved out of the area or retired, like Mr. McNary. I am not so much calling you out Noman(shoeman?) but I am not that naive anymore. Why do you think Taylor Sheridan, Director of Wind River went the Indy route instead of fooling/wasting time w/ Studios? He knew had NO SHOT of getting ANYTHING done at ANY Collossal Studio. The Studios are truly the CLOSED DOORS for 99.999% of us; they already have their creative teams in place and after their family & friends, there IS no more room/money for further development anyway. The running joke USED to be: Aspiring Hack wanna-be Actor sees the one empty seat in the audition room. But he is reluctant to take the seat as this plump, pizza-faced girl is sittong there, sweating up a storm. The BIG boss walks in, followed behind by his PA's. ( Old Man Jack Warner):"Hey you wanna be a big-time Actor?" Young kid: " Sure! Who do I have to kill?" Warner:" You don't have to kill anyone. Just marry my 28 year old homely daughter and I will put you in the John Wayne movie". Kid: " I don't care what she's like: is she at least normal( not you-know)?" PA: "Okay kid, sit in this chair next to Ms. Warner, you got the job. Roll sound!". The NEW version is that not only do you have to marry the female relative that couldn't get the job done when rich parents jettisoned her can to USC, you have to have KIDS with her or else the top bosses won't help get you work. Think Frank Stallone, then Tom Hanks's hack son, too many others to mention that can't grasp the fame... CAL who sat through several 16 hour stints....

CAL did NOT get the beat down from anyone, let alone that snot-nosed kid that I SHOULD have destroyed... CAL who hates fact-twisters...

I hate to be so harsh sometimes but it is Clowns like CHAIDINAR that need to be removed from the 'Bay. I will keep everyone posted. eBay DOES watch this Forum, and they are dreading my tyrannical, demomical phone calls.

What is the ONE REASON I started three(3) Threads... CAL who is extremely busy today thus more direct...

My wife speaks fluent Spanish. She's staying at our daughters this week as daughter is having health problems. I can call and get this straightened out for you if you wish. CAL who DOES have most of the fun around here, but sometimes IS the answer you are looking for....

I can bring a Synopsis down to your producer. Just let me know who, when and where and when. Docs don't necessarily have a "--script" per se; they have outlines and SOME scripted Questions and points from the Narrator. The Documentary Boom of 1995-2006 has run its course and the Markets have corrected themselves. CAL who knows a little about Cinema....

I spoke too fast - I DID chech CHAIDINAR's feedbacks a Seller, that is why I decided to take the strike instead of him shipping the Comic Books w/ NO cardboard - I already posted the screenshot where he says he was going to do that again. What I REALLY should have dome was go to eBay, but it is better once he threatened me with this CGC Forum he dug up on me. I am willinfg to bet i will get him removed permanently from eBay. I just need to sit down by Thursday and do that. CAL the Judge, jury and Executioner...

As Daredevil, he was okay. Better than I could ever be... CAL who likes behind the scenes...

One of my FAVORITE forum pics! CAL who still has that Zoot Suit!

Thanx for the kind words! I woke up one day and had Sellers Remorse. I wanted all of those IMSMS back. So I started to board them back again. I am planning a special video feature as Jan. 2018 is the 50th year the great One -Shot was issued. Want to have a few models from Film School, etc. Displays and whatnot, but my wife wants me to allow sales! So things are happening! CAL still the KING of IMSM !

Who really takes that time to do that? However I agree that your point is most prudent. CAL who needs to slow down a bit...

Yes, especially after THAT video you need to watch at your job... CAL who used to work part-time at hospitals...

I did not know younwere Daredevil! CAL who used to like Ben Affleck...

I LOVE This post! Still laughing... CAL who needs t start packing...

Interesting... CAL who should have studied a different subject...

I am not surprised that they still PM each other here. A benefit of social media? CAL who is still the one-man crusader...

That email from halo-spidey made ME smile! CAL who gets to chalk up some points for REAL Cred...

I can't speak for Roy directly but if these fanboys harmed his reputaton and thus his sales, Roy would NOT have taken it well. I would have defended him if that happened. CAL who knows who is who here...

Okay what is the User ID... CAL who is so good he has to have TWO Blocked Bidder pages to block 10,000 "entities"...
