My captain at arms, Big Sugar asks why we beat a roach with an 800 pound gorilla. I say, because we can! To the depths they will find themselves be mates! And make no mistake, I am not bringin' war, I'm bringin' hell! Capitan Dracula Peceno! Prepare your ship and load ready your guns! Capitan Leon. Our fearless leader of the karma pirate code. I request your arms. Captain Brendan. We be needin' some swords. Acquire the blades! Captain Xarach! Give'em somethin' to be fearin'! Captain Yuma. We've sailed into battle many times. It will be an honor to harbor war alonside your ship. Captain Parker. A lady always gets her way. BLAST AWAY! Captain Turzman. The gunman. Be sure your hand muzzels be ready by boardin'! Captain Youngs. Plenty of rum be awaiting in proper accord after the sinkings! Captain Sonnyboo! Your cannons are requested in the proper accord known as be blasting!

Nicely Put, Victor...
Fact, however, is that you left for the wrong reason, and you return(ed) for the wrong reason. Ceteris paribus, it could have been different :-) I'm proud of my webmaster too.

Uncharted waters
Hey Reincarnut, nice to see you you're taking the cannonade in stride. Its fun for everybody, I feel sorry for whoever may be taking this more seriously than it should be. That said, it's time to keel-haul ye! Rope tied to your ankle, dragged underwater below the entire spine of the ship till you come out the other side! Avast!
UNCHARTED, YES.
Marco, good show on the agent. All the best!
Yo, pirates - shouldn't you guys be out celebrating Marco's success or something instead of trying to get my goat? Man, sometimes you guys are way down south of ridiculous. Shoo! Go make a movie or something.
Aye aye
Thank you sir, I still haven't made money nor moved to LA, but having an agent is a step forward, thanks for the well wishes!
As for the pirates, you know when my concern about this pirate battle completely dissapeared? When I saw you posting back stuff in a different language. That's when I knew you couldn't possibly be taking this horribly serious either, so hey, lets have fun.
There's gonna be soo much fire on your ship that if the if cannonballs dont kill ya the lead poisoning will.
Have at thee, scurvy dog! Avast!
IT'S EASY! EZ. E--Z
It's a weekend! And yes, we are ridiculous, so ridiculous, that we're making movies, members getting agents, contracts being made, high budget films in pre-production. Yeah. Ridiculous as fuck! Who would have thought, that the karma kids would be at this point? I never thought about it, I knew it. Cause I saw fire in the people that are part of this online community.
And those that didn't have it, left, and became....well...now wannabes.
EZEQUIEL
ISN'T IT FUNNY?
I am famous as a wannabe :-)
I am the same
the time that I was at wannabe there was no pirates there meanwhile I was figthing
in the same terms of always here, just for fun
and you know why?, becouse the pirates here are all them "amazing adult and talented people"
like no others in any place, Pirates deserve respect, and Pirates like to play becouse they have nothing to prove, take a look to their works and wonder, I don´t know what you could see
but I see the best people ever, funny , intelligents, and full of talent it is one of the best gift that I have ever had, sharing whatever with The brethren of the pirate code
show your respect to all them
Rum!!
Pirates arriving wannabe
could be a great oportunity to wannabe to play and got a lot of fresh staff
but you show FEAR hummm
wannabe loose a great oportunity to move forward
sorry you loose!!
PIRATES FOREVER!
haha
Rum for me and all of my pirate brethren!
Wannabe said "grow up"
haha!
BOOM! LISTEN TO THOSE CANNONS!
BOOM!
EZEQUIEL
You were alone in the battle Ez

You must to be proud Captain!!!
Your talent and valor are safe!!!
Rum for captains!!!
MY KARMA PIRATE FLAG IS HIGH AND PROUD!

Signed up for an account. Awaiting approval. Can't wait to see how this goes down. Bring on the chaos!
FORGET THE ACCOUNT
Captain Young Blood Brendan. Don't worry about it. We brought the battle here which was the intention!
Besides, you don't want to be a wannabe! Remain a true pirate! Follow the code! And remember, it isn't my code, it is the code that was written for all of us here that are pirate captains!
We are brothers and sisters at arms. We support each other. And as you have grown to see, I'm here to promote, and fascilitate. I'm not a wannabe.
But keep your gunz fast and ready young blood captain, this isn't over yet. call into the radio show today, the challenge has been set. Wannabes might be calling in. What I don't understand is, why would anyone want to walk into a massacre!
EZEQUIEL
HMMM...
I don't think anyone else from Wannabe Studios will. Don't blow it out of proportion as usual!
WELL WHY THE HELL NOT?
The members of your site obviously thought they were better than us. Are they scared of the truth? Rally 'em up! let's talk on the real. on the show.
EZEQUIEL
SOMETIMES
You're just plain annoying sometimes - like that Brendan guy on this thread. NO ONE IS COMING. It will be just me. ONE.
RAD!
I can be annoying to those that find me annoying. And those that find me annoying are those that are annoyed by themselves because they set out to accomplish something they were capable of.
It's still funny to me. People that are rising and climbing never have an issue with me and the things I say. It's always the bottom feeders that do.
NOW REMEMBER. If you have IMDB pro, you can always look me up or my manager/agent JON BROWN. My partner ROBERT LAWRENCE.
So cool. We look forward to your call. Call 20 minutes into it, cause we have a movie review section, and then a guest. And no, our guest isn't Rose/Stallion/whatever.
Talk to you then!
-e!
EZEQUIEL
Do you take pleasure in
Do you take pleasure in being annoyed? Because you keep coming back asking for it.
????????????????????????????
"Therefore one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the most skillful. Seizing the enemy without fighting is the most skillful."
That's from The Art of War.
You guys are nuts. You are running straight for us with your pitchforks announcing to the world that the only thing you are interested in is creating trouble at Wannabe Studios and that's the magic password? Nah... not happening. We are a peace-loving, sissy, too-good-to-be-true bunch of - what else, wannabes. We aren't 'all about Hollywood' like over here. We're just trying to make our li'l vlogs and home videos so that we can feel good patting each other on our loser backs. Y'all know THAT!
Victor, we are in touch otherwise. We don't need either networks to actually do something together. Ironic, isn't it? JayYuma, somewhere between belligerence and incoherence I'm fairly certain you'll discover common sense - all the best with that. By the way, Brendan, I'd doubt you'd be able to get approved - same reason as Victor. You'll have to make do with talking trash about me and Wannabe Studios here. EZ, you're trapped in a sea of wannabes at the moment, hee hee. And Marco, you, of all people, should know that not everyone can 'take anything' in stride. Me especially :-)
La vida continúa, hermanos. Para el futuro!
Why So Serious?
Funny. They approved my account last time.
The shit-talking about Ezequiel is old and boring. The dude has accomplished something and people get mad when he boasts about it. Wouldn't you do the same in his situation? He should boast about it, he made his first feature and it's being recognized by certain people that most people in life will never get a chance to ever stand in the same room as. Not only that but behind all the boasting is a message of advice that most accomplished filmmakers don't often come onto message boards consisting of aspiring filmmakers to share with them. He was one of the little guys too before he got where he is today. No one else on an online forum or community has given me the kind of advice that Ezequiel has, and for that he is one helluva cool dude, and all the insults he gets from the old On The Lot guys is all total bullshit. So yeah, I am willing to stick up for him. As well as the other brothers you've mentioned.
JayYuma = Comic genious. Who else has ever brought to life the greatest inside joke on Indie-do it all yourself-filmmakers that he has? Please, watch his two films, think about it, and name someone. Good luck.
And Victor... Man, no one here or on your website even has anywhere near the same amount of talent as that guy to even touch him! This guy right here is the essence of good filmmaking. Sorry, talking shit to Victor is like trying to assassinate the president with a water pistol.
VICTOR CAPITAN DRACULA
If you are in touch with this guy, then you are breaking the code. And I know that Captain Dracula won't do that.
And no, we are not wannabes. Like I said, CALL INTO THE RADIO SHOW.
EZEQUIEL
YOU ROCK!
What else aren't your deckhands 'allowed' to do? And do you guys have the same tattoo on your butts and all that too? Damn, you guys are cult! Yay!
HAHA
No no no! we are brothers and sisters. We all have a common goal. we're not a bunch of hippies jumping around naked screaming "art art art!" We're professionals. some of us are in. some of here are rising talents.
A cult! haha
How about you guys. Name one of your members that is doing better than us.
You know why we're doing better? cause we learn from each other. we don't get all hurt over bullshit. WE LEARN AND SUPPORT.
So, name one, just one from your group that is doing better. It's not you, you don't have an agent. It isn't a middle aged actress that I don't have to name. it isn't some bitter australian guy or some old chick that thinks she's a stallion/screenwriter. or some dude with the last name Heffring.
NAME ONE. JUST ONE. Out do me. I want you to. If you can. I'll shut up. Remember, first do your research.
EZEQUIEL
MAN, YOU'RE WORSE THAN A STUCK RECORD ON CHRISTMAS
I live and work in India. Different country. Different continent for crying out loud! Of course, I don't have an agent in Hollywood. I work in India. You know - Taj Mahal, snake charmers, chicken curry and all that?
You're such an IDIOT - I could go on and on about how none of you guys have done anything IN INDIA.
"So, name one, just one from your group that is doing better IN INDIA."
Oh and here's the answer: "It's not you, you don't live IN INDIA."
I don't live in your country. Hollywood doesn't scare me. Why don't you get that into your thick head of yours?
Dude you give professionals a bad name. I am not going to name any member doing better than you here. Wannabe Studios has 98 members from all major continents and from a dozen different countries. It's not like out here with everyone waiting for their 'representation'. You talk to me about me.
The Night
See, here's where your mindset runs right off the rails, baby.
If you make movies, then Hollywood is the highest place you can
get. Period. Your precious Bollywood is still trying to
invade us over here. That's right, you whole film industry wants
into the big show over here. But I'll tell you what, let's ignore
that for the fucking moment.
Answer this; if you were offered a
contract today to workin Hollywood as a director/writer, would you take
it? Would you accept an offer from a studio, should one drop into
your lap? If your answer is yes, then you're a hypocrite and a
fucking liar. If your answer is no, well then you just a
garden-variety fucking idiot.
Back over to you.
If it's just ridiculous, it's bad.
IF IT IS RRIIIDDDIICCUUULLOOUUSS, then it's okay.
THE GOAL IS HOLLYWOOD
Fine. You are indian. you live in India. Don't tell me that Hollywood isn't your goal. It's every filmmakers goal. It doesn't matter where the fuck you live. Everyone wants tinsletown.
Once again, I have to put it this way. When someone is out huntin', and they can't catch the big catch, they will always say "well I wasn't after the big catch, I was out for the love of it" bullshit.
Your mindset makes no sense to me. So....are you telling me that you went out and made a film, with whatever crew you had and your cast not to have it seen? You think people work for grapes? When people come together to make a movie, it's because everyone wants it seen! Nobody does it for their health. You are completely lost off the fucking radar of common sense!

EZEQUIEL
MAN, YOU'RE BRAINDEAD!
"I make movie here to make money here. I make money. I make happy. I not make movie sell in Hollywood. I not unhappy about no sale in Hollywood. Hollywood not understand language I make movie in."
Was that simple enough, you lobotomized jackass? We can go on all day and all night - you have nothing on me still. Keep at it.
"I MAKE MOVIE HERE. I MAKE HAPPY" nope
Happiness is a warm gun. And we all just gunned you down.
Hollywood make happy when we make movie in Hollywood. We make movie here. We make happy.
I almost sound like you! Funny that you put it that way.
Nobody makes a movie only to show to their parents, kids and dog.
Just for one second, only one fucking second---get a grasp of reality here!
You never answered my question. Name one of the members of your crap site that is doing better than some of us. NAME ONE. JUST FUCKING ONE!
EZEQUIEL
GO SEE FOR YOURSELF
Save me the trouble, huh? Just browse through the members pages at Wannabe Studios - you'll find many. Why are you hell bent on embarrassing yourself? I'm not going to drag anyone else into this, howsoever you bait me.
My feature is for theatrical release, you fucking attention deficit moron :-)
Dang, you're really tiresome. OK, I give you half an hour more. After that I'm off.
YOWZA!
You think you got me with that one, don't you smartass? It's like asking "Do you still beat your wife? Yes or No?" But I'll answer it anyway.
IF I were offered a Hollywood contract today, yes I would take it. BECAUSE IT IS FALLING IN MY LAP WITHOUT ME EVEN TRYING. I AM NOT kissing ass to "find representation to get found and then to get that two minutes with some studio executive to maybe see the boss one day during coffee break and perhaps make an attempt to possibly pitch a logline to him" and well, you know what your life is like. That makes me a liar? So what the fuck can you do about it? I will have the contract and you will call me 'hypocrite' and 'liar'. Big fucking deal.
Next, I do not work in Bollywood. When you don't know much about the Indian film industry except 'Bollywood', like your king EZ here says, DO YOUR RESEARCH. Go see my profile or my imdb page. See the movies I have worked with. None of them are Bollywood. Go figure.
Dude, we can go on and on...
Dead Flowers
Then here's what you do, guy; make the movies, cut 'em, mix 'em,
grade 'em. Then burn 'em. Oh, thats right, you want an
audience for 'em. And we know this 'cause you've got a film
community going expressly for that purpose. Well, so you know,
Hollywood is the way to get the biggest possible audience for your
movies. Thought it might make a fuck. And I did do my
"research." As you directed me to your site, I checked out your
profile. Saw nothning I recognized. Did I miss something,
like you worked on Bridge on the River Kwai? Just askin' baby.
If it's just ridiculous, it's bad.
IF IT IS RRIIIDDDIICCUUULLOOUUSS, then it's okay.
EXACTLY, 'BABY'
That's 'coz I don't work in, you know, duh, Hollywood. I still am working. Not in Hollywood. And not 'waiting for representation'. Did you get it at least now?
And what were the films you worked on? I missed seeing the list here. I'd like to add them to my DVD rental queue.
Swingin' On A Star
No, no, no, baby, here's where you've jumped off into fucktard
mode. I have never, not even once, claimed to have made a single
film or even worked on one. I'm a movie fanatic and a shitty
writer, nothing more. And if you'll read carefully, I've not once
tried to compare dicks about who has done work and who hasn't.
See, what I've been doing is exercising my right to be heard
here. Something you denied me on your site.
And yes, I'm waiting for representation. I want to make movies
too, fuck I want to work the crafts service table. I want to do
it all and learn all that I can because I fucking love
it. Every little sloppy, greasy, stained, stinky bit of it.
And EZ's got more knowlege in the pre-cum on the end of his dick right
before he fucks Anna Ward than I've got in my whole bodyor you've got
in yours. Therefore, I come here to learn and absorb and be
beaten the fuck up. You'd do well to do the same. The fuck
have you done lately? Slammed the man for offering help to those
who want and need it most? You must be outside your fucking mind.
Call in, baby. You know you want to.
If it's just ridiculous, it's bad.
IF IT IS RRIIIDDDIICCUUULLOOUUSS, then it's okay.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT BIG SUGAR CAUSE--
Big Sugar has the talent, he's moving to L.A. to persue his career as a Hollywood writer, and guess he's gonna be there to make sure this motherfucker gets where he needs to be. He's a true brother that isn't scared. I admire that. I will have this guys back. I had Marco's. Marco is now a Hollywood player. he's new to it, but at least he's in.
Shyam, instead of blasting you out of the waters once more and watching you come back with a crippled ship. let me ask---why do you hate? why are you bitter?
You never answered the question.
EZEQUIEL
The enemy has showed valor
that is something to have in count
he was in front of a devastate naval war with indestructible pirates
and he stand up without running away, also he recognized our supremacy
Let´s celebrate our victory and honered the enemies that figth, no the enemies that remain in the shadow like cowards
which one is the next site to arrive and devastate???
:-)
Thank you, Victor. That was thoughtful of you.
But, there is no one else coming. You will need to call them out separately.
TO THE DEPTHS!
Pirate brother. And to all the other pirate brethren---we sail together, fight together and always WIN!
Rum be in proper accord for everyone! Not just the pirates of Karma, but all of our proud members!
YO HO! YO HO! A PIRATES LIFE FOR US!
EZEQUIEL
LIKE I SAID, GROW UP.
No one at Wannabe Studios is belittling the legendary filmmakers you have over here, dude. They are just doing their own stuff... to each, his own. But you just won't give up sniping at us, will you? We are like the house joke here 'coz you guys aren't allowed to pick on each other. You're making me famous :-)
It's cliched but Brendan, "give respect and take respect". You can't just sell it. Don't despair though, wisdom has this slow way of creeping up on you - give it say another 10 years or so. By then, you better have made you 'first feature' or you will end up like your idols. Trust me, I know. I just made mine.
See? Some more free advice...
YOU ARE THE IDIOT FUCK UP
let's see. I've seen clips of your feature. It doesn't look very good. Your cast? BLAH
Brendan has a potential that you will never reach. Do not , i repeat, DO NOT bring shit down on my young pirate brother or I will bring cannons to you that you do not want to hear blasting at you.
You have nothing. You are a wannabe.
we here at karma, promote and support people with talent
REMEMBER YOUNG GUNS?
Billy the kid points a gun at someone and says "I'll make you famous", if all the pirates of karma point cannons at you, then why not, yeah, you'll be remembered.
CALL INTO THE RADIO SHOW
EZEQUIEL
Not idols, just fellow
Not idols, just fellow filmmakers I respect and admire. I wouldn't take advice from you cause I haven't seen your shit. Right now all I see his a nobody, so prove me wrong.
SHUT UP, KID.
Yes, you haven't seen my shit. So, just shut up. Right now, you're just annoying. Go do your homework or something.
Alright then post your
Alright then post your shit. Or are you afraid of recieving legitimate criticism from a kid?
I'm sorry, I'm not going to shut up. I'm a member of this forum, you're not.
DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO BRENDAN THAT WAY
yOU'VE CROSSED THE LINE. Nobody talks to my pirate brothers that way. Shyam, you ain't done shit. You made a move with Dawn Akemi and Dave Williams. Should we toast to that?
And never, I repeat, NEVER attack my young pirate brother again. You need to shut up.
Like I said, you crossed the line. Brendan is a young filmmaker that I support to the fullest and now I'm pissed that you went after him. FUCK YOU. I can't wait for this radio show. I really deeply hope that you call in. And if it 4 in the morning for you, then this will be the perfect wake up call motherfucker!
If you want to fucking scrap, you scrap with me---you leave Brendan alone. Or maybe, it's because you're mad cause he's way more younger than you, has way more potential and is a better filmmaker than you are? Ok......I can see why you're upset, but you should be upsedt at yourself cause YOU SUCK.
EZEQUIEL
OOPSIES. MY BAD.
Hail Brendan, heir to the EZ throne!!! Hail! Hail!! That better, dudeking?
Crossed the line, my ass. Draw whatever line and I'll cross it, you fool. As in FOOL. Not 'motherfucker', 'cocksucker' and all that pirate poop. FOOL. Simple and effective. Now watch yourself blow up :-)
Shyam, I want to watch your
Shyam, I want to watch your movies. I saw the clips from Onan so far. I'll watch the others too.
MY FILM
I'll let you know when clips from the final cut are uploaded. What's on are from the rough edit, hence the watermarks. A good part of the film will be mumbo-jumbo to you and will need subtitles, in any case. English isn't the main language.
That's fine. I actually
That's fine. I actually tend to watch more foreign films than American.
Takashi Miike, Park Chan-Wook, John Woo, just to name a few favorites.
BRENDAN!
Yes! Watch his films cause I want you to learn WHAT NOT TO DO.
See Brendan, as I've told you many times, I want you to be successful. Make good movies, make money, have hot women. Have good times then go back to work and make more movies.
So yes, please watch Shyam's films, so that you don't make any mistakes.
