Finished the second outline, writing the third one now. I couldn't come up with a solid premise for it until now.

I want to write one more before stopping and sending them out to people. From these, the one with the most enthusiasm will be the one I will make.

Stumbled across this small album of the Kowloon Walled City before it was demolished.

Would love to give this a read.

That's one expensive book. I bet it's an awesome read though. Why is it so expensive? The fifth picture from the bottom in that gallery is really cool.

EDIT: I realize it's out of print, but was it only produced in very small runs when it was released or what?

That would be my guess.

I have that book. Would you believe I bought it new and sealed for £60.

Fucking hate phones. I can deal with facebook though, and it's useful for keeping in touch with friends and organising shit.

Christian Bale's Batman audition in Val Kilmer's suit. The whispery tone in Begins was much better than the growl in TDK/R. Something I didn't know until now but Bale's voice was altered in post production from TDK onwards. So that explains it..!

I'm really struggling writing this third outline. I'm almost done, but there's no way in hell this can be a plausible FF movie. It's too far-fetched and it just gets progressively weirder as it goes on.

The very idea itself is interesting, but this doesn't justify it. I would scrap it and start over but I rather show it to people just to get their two cents on it. The other two outlines are way better but that's cause I knew where they were going. This one was just a pitched idea from someone else and it happened to gain interest, but not even that person could fully flesh it out. Arrrgh...

You should scan it so peasants like myself can read it hahaha jk. You have read it though right? What's it like? I have been reading some forums posts about it and short excepts I could find at my local library. But info on it is scare to say the least.

It's excellent. It's mostly made up of interviews from the city dwellers and photographs of their environment, whether that's a school classroom, convenience store or factory. Surprisingly, almost every person weren't willing to move out of the city after the official announcement. One man had lived in the city most of his life. He lived in a small apartment, (with no natural light as someone had built alongside) and listened to a crackly radio all day long.

So much expression in his face. The Italian masters could only dream to convey such emotion in a single frame.
