a message from Kurt and a breakdown for the new series I'm working on --

Here is a little dialogue from Kurt regarding his rise to fame versus my struggling, after I hand him a charming little present of yellow American Spirit cigarettes ---

(to me at unplugged)
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm an asshole. This is rediculous."

(to audience)
"My wife has been struggling her ass off while I sit here on my ass. I hate this shit. Performing. And I'm done breaking her heart with it. She deserves everything I've earned... And I'm gonna spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to her..."

I encourage him to play one song or two if he wants, and he refuses... we exit the stage.

lights out, unplugged.
========================================================================
Here is a new series I am working on writing, producing and directing. It is going to be in vain of an afterschool special, Sweet Valley Highish only darker.... it is called "The Suicide Series".... it will be four short films with the same theme. I have written several taglines for each, they are listed below:


"The Beautiful One"

logline:

New to school, a boy with extraordinary good looks and a beautiful girlfriend, tries to make new friends, when he is thrown to the side for others because of his extreme beauty, he believes he is unwanted and outcasted due to personality and ugliness. He has always felt ugly due to his lack of relationships, and contemplates suicide with a note that reads his true feelings of disgust. In a shocking twist, he is finally let on to his outrageous physical beauty, sees it for the first time in photos and the mirror, and is so shocked it startles him into suicide any ways.....

taglines:

- he was her everything, If he only could have loved himself too...
- when you've felt ugly your whole life, beauty is only skin deep....
- they say beauty is everything, but for him it was his greatest flaw...
- when you are this beautiful, all a friend is is a known enemy...


"Rock Star Suicide"

logline:

When a famous rock star has the notion to go out in history with a dramatic suicide death, his hollow, emotionless suicide note that he believes is sparkling and worthy of its plot changes the worlds opinion of him and instead of making a statement and big splash, his death revolts all his fans and sends them into a revolutionary frenzy...

taglines:

- he was looking for the ultimate punchline, but in the end he still became the ultimate joke.
- all he ever wanted was just to burn out, but all he managed to do was fade away...
-he lavished in his rock star life... but in the end he paid at the ultimate price...
- his music was deep, but when it came to his suicide note, the cost of his words didn't come cheap.


"The Hollow"

logline:

A group of empty indivduals wreck havoc on a small town just to realize they were born with no souls. When they realize what it is like to have one, they go on a killing spree of the ones with them and end up experiencing the most frightful deaths on earth -- flash to black, then nothingness.

taglines:

- how do you kill something that's already dead inside?
- when you're born with no soul, and the streets have no name, your body is empty and the soulful take the blame...
- their eyes are as vacant as their deaths...


"Tight Spaces"

logline:

A woman who is terrified of small areas finds herself wrongfully locked up into a tiny jail cell and then given a deadly lethal injection that does not kill her. She eventually awakes and finds herself buried alive in a tiny casket, and finally dies of a heart attack.

taglines;

-when you're already clastrophobic, the fear of death has no boundaries...
-she went in for a soda, and ended up paying for it with her life....


And

"The Voice In The Crowd"

The fan from The Rockstar suicide who starts the revolutionary frenzy --

Tagline:

You were everything to me. I don't eat anything green either!!! I'd rather be dead than cool too!! But I needed you!
