The Situation

(This is a one page sketch or a script that I'd thought off will laying down on my bed and staring at the ceiling. So here it is...enjoy)

The Situation
Scene 1 EXT. Construction Site
A dead body (Du Rate) is laid sprawled on the ground with a Bent Coin in palm wearing a wedding suit tuxedo.

Inspector
Detective Mal, Private-Eye; what’s you got for me here?

Detective Mal
Evening Inspector, the situation? Suicide, jumps off the building, dead by shock before impact. Who we have here is Mr. Du Rate, his wife hired me to investigate his whereabouts; I discovered that he’s in love with another woman. Mr. Du Rate is from the Du Rate family, rich and famous and all that. His marriage with his wife was more of a business deal between the families. Following his diary, he seems to be in love even before his marriage. The woman he loved took her own life yesterday, while him, tonight.

Inspector
Double suicide. But why jump off a building?

Detective Mal
I believe, to him, by jumping off a building is like he had flied off into the next world and by doing so, left his body tumbling down to the ground; a ticket bought. The woman he loves took her life in bed by drugging herself with sleeping pills, a painless death, I assume. Well, at least their together now.

Inspector
Incredible! I assumed that they’d been planning this for awhile. But what’s with the Bent Coin in his palm?

Detective Mal
Through the letters, he kept saying that their love is priceless not like the marriage he had with his wife. Paying the Ferryman everything they have just to be together is not a price at all. They can’t be in love here, so they took it on to the next.

Inspector
So that’s love eh? How’s his wife?

Detective Mal
Pleasurable!

Gangs, Gangs and GANGS

Last night, it was raining as usual, lately; was watching a documentary on Jap Culture when all of a sudden it went to spoil. How I angered at the weather? Anyways had nothing to do, so thought I'd shuffle through my DVDs collection (what i had of course, not much though) and pulled out "Gangs of New York", slip the disc into the player and press play.

I enjoyed it as always and at the end of it, press stop and went down to my own room with wildness in my head.

Stories started to form in my head and rememberance of others like nearly the same like, "A Clockwork Orange", "The Warriors", "Green Street" and many others, Gang movies of course but their titles escapes me, even the Oceans came to mind, than...

It came to me, Gang movies no matter what would always capture audiences and the cool thing about creating a Gang Movie is by doing so you're absently creating cultures that varies. I will write a script in the same genre, thought it would be fun...

Coincidence=Jap Culture+"Gangs of New York". Hmmm...

Short Film in a Last Train

I was involved in a Play done by a my Lecturer, I was appointed as a Stage Manager, I live and sleep in SJ and had to travel all the way to KL for about six to seven days I guess; inconveniently I have yet to claim a car of my own, big downer right!...anyways, so to do so: onwards to KL with full hearted support on the simpleton of Malaysia's very own public transport services, what a pain!!!

...all the show just had to end "approximately". Sometime I'm early for the trains and sometimes, upon misfortunate occurrence I would miss them or fortunately enough for the Last Train.

Lingering in my mind with boredom, as my only friend at that time; I started to observe my surroundings and Boredom, being such a very good friend of mind introduce to me the frankness of those people about me and the little drama that played in. A play of themselves in a moment, in this moment in the Last Train.

Practically that one single night, I had noted down about seven dramas about me and all of them had the subject of humanity written on them. It was beautiful.

Coincidence; when I had stood out at my stop, as the Last Train went rushing onwards to different destination I saw credits being rolled upon the windows at the side of that specific train.

And I uttered, How I wish to watch that movie again?

Recordance Idea # 1

EARTH INFINITE

JOSEPH

Preface

I could never comprehand what goes on in my head. It ravels about within me like some craze party in an underground club, shaped as a sphere with spectacular effects, colourful lights, booming tunes, ever striking beams and lasers accompanied with projectors, "projecting" images on the wall with pure likeness to life, death and all-those-whatever-things-around-us.

Strangely: Why are those things in front of us anyways?
Another question for the mind.
"I'll ponder on that later."

Anyways this is just a "preface". This Compendium is my own accord of recording all those "wateverz" in my head.

Why? Because of late I'm forgetting most of it, sort off; those little images starts to fade, the head-banging stops, that crazy train ride all gone. Well not all, but I'm being selfish all of a sudden and I just want them all preserved somehow or somewhere.

And so I had an idea for my ideas.
My very own Compendium of Ideas
