Some of the posters here are very good writers. There's a
lot of wit and brainfood in some of the commentary by people
like Ophecks etc.
I just wonder if a web message-board is the best place to
expend this energy.

I'm looking at the last generation of great film-makers and
writers and I notice that most of those from the sixties and
seventies were actually in their early twenties when they
began to create revered work.

- Do we have creators like that within the ranks of this
generation, or are those types squandering their talents
writing for small communities on internet message-boards?

(This is intended as an exercise in discussion-provocation,
not a dig at the .nu community, which I participate in &
enjoy greatly)

Giving any group of like minded people a forum will produce
interesting results. We are in a kind of "cyber happening".
If you tape recorded all of your conversations imagine how
much cool stuff you would have.

Ok,yes the internet/pc boom is a double edged sword....it
can aid talent(i.e.design packages) or waste it(chat
roomsetc).Maybe too much leisure activities? }:>

I don't think this is wasting ideas or talent AT ALL! Hell,
if not for the internet, I wouldn't know about this vast
universe of electronics.

I am the ONLY person in my fucking boredom-ridden city who
knows anything about this stuff... their musical tastes
range from Eminem to Limp Bizkit to Linkin Park... such an
eclectic group, eh? So this board is great for me, and
others, I'm sure, who are stuck in Stupid-Land like I am.

I'm going to write a screen-play about my exploits on
Aphextwin.nu... and then I'll get Steven Speilburg to direct
it, and get Leonardo Dicaprio to play me, The_Funkmaster,
and Carman Electra will play the role of Core, who will be
my secret mistress!!!

Some people write books, some people even read them. The
most creative writers I've read are nonfiction, that's what
I might say if I ever read a book.

lol, that's funny because nonfiction writing really requires
nothing but facts and a basic knowledge of composition.
Fiction writing takes creativity.

I wouldn't want anyone to play me in a movie. I'd want to
be CGI like Jar Jar Binks :)
Or maybe that really shitty Scooby Doo from the live action
flick hahahahahahah!!!

hahahaha No, no, I wouldn't want to be like Jar Jar at all!
He made episode one suck! That and Obi Wan Kenobi with that
dorky pony tail mullet thing...

ANyway, the scooby doo doesn't even look like a
cartoon dog, let alone a real dog!
