And I thought making it through east Berlin and through the wall with a truckload of Duracell batteries from Poland. Only to lose it all and the truck at sea was an adventure.. well done old man.. some people are cursed by an adventurous life(yes, it’s a Chinese curse). I thought I had a bad...
My most embarrassing was probably on a sleeper bus in Vietnam, street food meatloaf and explosive outcome.. it was akin to the horror movie where everyone pukes from the merry go round, Just the other end. Lol.
Wow.. I feel typing that should have been therapeutic.. lol…
so, I have this one 2 week trip, started with bribing my way out of Russia in 1989, through the. Berlin wall, throw in a car crash, a near train crash, a ship crash, a few dead bodies and ends with. Me in jail.. but if I ever do...
If you play within the movie industry you must play by their rules. I was offered the money years ago to make a movie, but let’s say my self worth couldn’t pay the price. So make on their terms or yours.. if your script has real value , you turn it into movie using those who just want to be...
Ello John. it is important to understand their are only a few who chase their dreams. We are constrained by society, by culture, by ignorance.. so if you have a dream of making movies< of customization of vehicles, of making Jaguars reliable. (Lol). (Yes I have a Jaguar).. chaee the dream...
Me neither. But I can only say, chase your dreams. We are all products of the constructs we and society make, and in the end we either do or die.. I hope you do rather than die.. I truly wish you the best.
I really love the concept. But in most of America it may as well be made out of paper. Ohh, sell it as a ”vehicular detachable kite”. Which it is.. let’s face it, it’s a no wind sunshade at best..
That sounds like my fave kind of trip. When I first came to the USA it was a shock, most people who have never been to the US think of it by its TV exports, so America is viewed as NCIS, Miami vice, with superheros on every street corner. But as you know, America is basically the Dukes of...
I beautiful trip. I sold at the jockey lot in Lafayette one year then across the I10 to quartzite AZ. Into Cally, up to Hollywood, back to Vegas, got stuck at my fave place, (the Grand Canyon) then drifted back east to SC. i mostly run rural. Roads because I’m not in a hurry to be anywhere as...
I lived in Canton, sold at Beaumont, Winney, Houston, Kountz and all the way west to Quartzite AZ, up To Vegas and both the gun show and Mexican market, I’ve worked Roswell NM and up to Lubbock, then back east. A few times over the years. So dodged the crooked cops on the i10 and paid off...
I have done many a road trip through Texas. And had the best steak in the world their.. it is definitely a learning curve as a LONDON BRIT, to realize the distance and vastness of gaps in humanity once you go west of Dallas. I only just learned that only 15% of Americans live between Dallas...
Lmao.. maybe if my Mavs don’t get delivered to my from ford I can rewrite using camels.. may have to change the name to Bagdadi Gold. Lol. Love interest and getaway vehicle in one..
I think Florida summer looks like Texas winter.. lol. The heat drain, the humidity.. and of course TX is a pretty big place, so I’m generalizing about south/mid/west Texas ..
Lmao.. you can’t have a heist movie without a love entanglement. So it’s kind of the plot of all of them. Evil villains are more appropriate for my second movie, if it ever happens.. and that would look good filmed in Texas also.. lol. As the 4th movie really needs a plethora of evil...
I love Texas, and if I had the money and time, TX would be my first choice to shoot. .. i used to do the county fair in Beaumont, and another in Lubbock. I lived in Canton for a while, worked all the Trade days in east TX. The people are amazing, as is the ethic and standards.. but im in...
Their are enclaves north of the Everglades, where they look like Mexican villages and plenty of areas that are sandy and baron, with the right camera angles, should work..
Yes, the Mavs will do jumps, and I aim to buy a few damaged ones to use as the jumpers. . If he is game I know a stuntman from the dukes of hazard, Smokie and the bandit era. If he can’t I’m sure he has advice. Also I do have some longtime ford mechanics to disable airbags where needed.
