It happened again. Fifteen years later. One of my movie ideas was censored and will remain unproduced. Ha ha. Not that I really make movies, but I have crazy ideas and then people think they are too crazy and censor them, and as a result they never become movies and probably I miss my chance to become a famous director. In 1993 we had to make a movie for a school project (yes, I was an undergrad) and I wrote a comedy script. I ran it by my leading actress (my adored friend Betty Faugier) and she approved it, but then the rest of the cast and crew started running away, and then the school said the idea was too risky. It was a comedy... nothing too graphic, but probably too much for a school project. A couple of scenes were too crazy and I was convinced that without them the idea wouldn't work, so we never made the movie. Instead we shot a sucky script that Paco and I wrote in two days, and the movie was poorly edited and with horrible sound. I don't even have a copy of it and probably should Alan Smithee-it from now on. Well, this summer I was planning to make a small movie with some of the puppets in my office, kinda following the shorts I made last year for my Facebook page. I wrotea script and made a quick storyboard... and it has been censored like crazy. Most of the friends I have approached asking for feeback say it is too crazy and would get me in trouble. Hee hee... So, I am officially abandoning the idea. No "Things I hate" summer movie coming to your Facebook screens.

querido amigo.. que no fue esa una de las razones por las que Salvador Dali dejo la escuela de arte???.. y mira en lo que se convirtio... no te rindas

Aw, what would Cartman say about your script? It's your Facebook page, dude. Make your film and start a controversy.
