stray thought but i just remembered guillermo del toro also directed the first hellboy movie franchise so now im thinking abt whether he made shape of water because he thought the fishman in hellboy was too fuckable to let fade out of society’s collective memory or not
Abe was Sherlock Holmes & Aquaman at the same time
I have a notebook that has tons of ideas and drawings; But you being a “creator”, like me. I'm sure you too have ideas. But How do you know if its the one?
Motivations over time of development change. Things that excited you as a game designers change. I have to always ask myself "What am I saying with this game"? and “What do I want to say at this point in time”?
I’m over the thrill of the technical challenges, I’m over trying to prove something to myself, so now I can really get down to what is really important when choosing a game (film etc) to make.When you start any big project you’re trading years of your life to realize the project- so you have to think about what is worth trading years of your life for…
“ I’m not interested in writing short stories. Anything that doesn’t take years of your life and drive you to suicide hardly seems worth doing.” - Cormac McCarthy
What ideas or ideals are you willing to die for? What message do you think is so important you need to trade your life in order to make it real? What topic can you not stop talking about?
Let the idea age with time, like fine wine. If you always feel like you have more to say about a particular subject than maybe that is the one? If I don’t get choked up when running through a story/idea outline I know its NOT the one because then it doesn’t have a connection to my core and it NEEDS to have that if I’m going to fight for it to get made.
I am planning to write an article about celebrities who are also Haunted Mansion fans. Outside a few names including director Guillermo Del Toro, actors Neil Patrick Harris and Ryan Gosling and SFX makeup artist Rick Baker, i don’t know who else is - maybe you can answer this ? As the Haunted Mansion fandom is mostly american, i guess there are local celebrities we don’t really know here in Europe who may be into it. Please i need help on this - thank you.
Reblogging this to help Galaad in her research! :D
This is like the third time they’ve done this plot
Imagine getting What We Do in the Shadows out of the Fox purchase and not using that as an easy template for a comedy skewed Mansion movie.
Oh my god they couldn’t be more boring and overdone. When are we going to get a movie about the ghosts haunting the house and not the dumb ass losers moving into the house??
They will neverget it right. The fact that they refuse to acknowledge the ‘happy’ in ‘happy haunts’ is simply hilarious at this point. Not that you can’t have a villainous ghost amongst the bunch, but the focus shouldn’t be on them.
The selling points should be the dark and surreal humor and the alluring strangeness of the mansion itself.
‘Exorcise’ and ‘Haunted Mansion’ shouldn’t even be ALLOWED in the same sentence unless the first word is used in the context of exorcising the fear of death with humor.
Unable to perceive the shape of you, I find you all around me. Your presence fills my eyes with your love, It humbles my heart, for you are everywhere.
Well, Award Season is on us in earnest!! The Golden Globes are done and the race for the Oscars is taking shape. But just what are the winner’s chances?
“Unable to perceive the shape of you, I find you all around me. Your presence fills my eyes with your love. It humbles my heart, for you are everywhere.“
The horror? The horror was for love. The things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you, maims you, twists you inside out. It is a monstrous love. And it makes monsters of us all.
