trying something new...lemme know what ya think

Been on CBM for a long time. Honestly, things have gotten kinda boring. It seems like it's the same exact thing everyday. So I'm trying something new.

By Joslezio85 - Mar 13, 2010 01:03 AM EST
Filed Under: Fan Fic

Basically, I've been on CBM for a year or so now. I've contributed many, many fan fics along with fan casts. As of late, it seems like a lot of the talented, hardworking members of this amazing site are being ran off, dwindling away by the masses of....well crap that has overtaken our beloved fan fic section. People seem to want to post stupid mind numbing sh-t that either, doesn't have any place on the web site or, just doesn't make any sense at all so no one has any idea what is going on. Whereas, I personally feel something should be done about it. I know there is little I can do. So instead, I'm just going to start posting as much of my own stuff as I can. Make it as good as possible, and hope for the best. Maybe, people will catch on and take stuff more seriously. This web site is for fun. But, a lot of people on here put their heart and soul into what they do, myself included, and to have it almost completely erased by ignorant posts before ever being seen is, in my opinion, a complete and utter disgrace to not only journalism, but the entire writing process. I'm sure this will offend many, and believe me, that's not my intention. Just saying what needs to be said. Now that I've said, check out the sh-t below. I'm going to start doing a lot of these. I hope everyone likes it.





Ok. First. I'm an avid lover of comic books. Notably anything X related(X-Men. X-Force. X cetera.) Ha ha. Get it. X cetera? crap. Anyways, I'm also an avid lover of movies, namely cbm's, westerns, most Sci-fi, Horror, and almost anything Tim Burton has ever done. I also like most Cult hits i.e. the breakfast club, boondock saints, sixteen candles. Ok? I also love music, It's been a life long passion of mine. I love all sorts. A lot of which some of you will have heard of, and some of you will not.

Second. What I plan to do.

I am a firm believer that in order to make the perfect CBM, everything has to be perfect. From the choreography and dialogue all the way down to the type of font used for the end credits, and everything between. My intentions on this site are to...1. Review some of my favorite movies in many of these ways. Which will hopefully, open eyes to new talents of every variation for some, and possibly start some really good conversations with others, or both. Now, we've all seen Fan Fic and Fan Casts. But I've never seen a Fan Score. I plan on trying this out. It will take some time, for obvious reasons. But, I feel meshing all of my favorite things into one, and than sharing it with the world; is totally worth the consumption.
Let's see...

Oh yes, My current favorite comic is the new X-Force. So, I figure I will lay it out right here. Not everything, but a few scenes and some preferred music, and who I feel are the perfect actors, and actresses for the roles. Let's see how it goes.

Ok.

So as in any movie. The first few scenes, should start with the introduction of the main characters.

I do believe the first scene should open with a man in blue jeans and a tight black t-shirt riding a motorcycle through the desert. Come in from the air, and come behind him, and than jump to a camera angle coming up from the road as the hog drives by, blowing the sound of the engine through the speakers, followed instantly by Johnny Cash's Rock Island Line. Zoom in on the rider revealing that it is none other than Warpath.

Michael Copon as Warpath, he has the necessary build, and is 27 years old. Which imo, puts him at the peak of physical performance. He did in amazing job
in the second Scorpion King, movie sucked, but not because of him.

as



Skip to the next scene, Logan(Wolverine is standing on the deck of Warrens home(just like in the comic) Cyclops comes to talk to him, yada, yada, ya know how it goes. In steps Rhane Sinclair, the argument. He finds out who all is involved.

I'm choosing Carmine Giavinazzo as Wolverine, I've always liked him for the part. If you've ever seen CSI: NY, you'll know why. If not, he's a smart mouth, short tempered, short guy,he does it well, and has a good build for the part. Also, I hate Hugh Jackmans pg-13 version.
as



I'm choosing Keira Knightley for the role of Rhaine Sinclaire. First off, she's a great actress and she really quite looks like her. Second, Rhaine is a very emotional and trouble girl, I know Keira could nail this role to the wall.
as



I'm sticking with James Marsden as Cyclops, I hate him for the role. But, he's already been doing it for quite some time, so for continuities sake. I'm keeping him.



Now to pick up where I left off, it would be where X-23 is inside of S.H.I.E.L.D. investigating the dead agents. Nothing too exciting happens here. So I'm just going to breeze past it.

But, I'm choosing Summer Glau for X-23. I've loved her for the role since the first time I saw her, and will never change my mind.
as


If I recall the next scene is Logan meeting up with X and Warpath. I do believe it should stay very dark for the whole outside scene, and we should only be able to see shadows and hear bones cracking up until the moment they bust in and start shredding the shit out of everyone. Now this scene, since it is the first hardcore brutal kill scene of the movie. Needs to be done perfectly to a T. Now, I believe from the moment they bust in. It should be very slow motion, so that the watcher can get a feel for every drop of blood and every claw or knife stuck. As soon as they kick in the front door My Chemical Romance's The End should start playing. I do believe it would be a beautifully orchestrated scene. Much like the Hallelujah scene from Watchmen, but without the arousal. Unless your into that sort of thing. Well I do believe I'll continue with more. But this is it for now. Hope you enjoyed.

JOS @ Good for you, i know what you mean, theres a stupid one man cast in fan-fic of [frick]ing EVANS, (without even a teaser) taking up space here, not been in yet, probably wont lol, sad choice for CAP! But its deff not fan fic lol.

I like this, hey great RHAINE choice, ive got that pic too, very original WOLVIE pick, i like, he'd be a great LOGAN! The X-23 choice is everyones basically at cbm.com lol, but why not its a good pick! WARPATH cool, and i like the actor who plays SCOTT, so great one!

No villain man?

Anyway great article!

@ joslezio 85 I agree with what your saying, this site is getting stale
sorry Galactus but its true
Sorry if I miss anybody here but guys like Shaman, TheMyth, TheHawk, DDD and a few select others put alot of work into this site, and now you rarely here from some of them now.
All these guys namely Myth would not even give you a chance to argue your points, due to being prepared and knowledgable.
Now we mostly read regurgitated crap in the fan fic section. I,m not saying I can do better cause I can,t, thats why I don,t.
Just my 2 cents, sorry if I pissed some of you off
Nice cast to joslezio nice to see some originality again

Good stuff man - I love Glau for X-23 and that's an interesting Wolverine choice!

I, of course, completely agree with you about fan fic - things are a mess and you can guarantee that this will soon be buried by more one character casts or one paragraph articles. There's no quality control, too much stuff here and something needs to be done so that everyone gets recognition for the hard work they put into these things.
DDD
DDD - 3/13/2010, 8:23 AM
Cool idea Joslezio, the injetion of
music into a fancast!!

Carmine is a little too slight for
my idea of Logan but an interesting
choice! He's very good on NY:CSI

Copon is built but he's a little short
for the 7 feet tall Warpath, even with
movie magic!

Great idea for a unique fancast!
And yes, something needs to be done about
all the tacky, short, stupid, pointless, or
one-man fancasts or fancasts just thrown
together with no artistic value whatsoever!

It's getting to where I don't really care
to do a fancast anymore cuz it just gets
buried so fast no one even knows it came
or went!

This is supposed to be a place for artistic
expression and stories and such! Not just a
place to vomit out whatever fumbles out of
the mind!

Scarface - 3/13/2010, 8:47 AM
Amen DDD and sorry for not pointing out your efforts either Josh
This is what i,m talking about a guy like DDD not wanting to do this anymore cause of douche bags just posting some random crap that took all of 2 seconds to think of and i,m being generous when I say 2 seconds.

Galactus needs to step up here.
I propose a fan fic area where you have to earn your way into, via a password or something to that effect.
I say this so trusted users can post artistic talents and thoughts without it being buried in minutes by countless spider man reboots ala hanna montana disney shit that no real comic book reader cares about

Was gonna do one one day, but been put off for life lol! : P

ecksmanfan - 3/13/2010, 10:47 AM
Great idea man! I'm diggin the cast you have up there and I'm anxious to see where you take the idea.

As for the Fan-Fic section, I agree with the majority here. I don't even bother reading fan-casts anymore unless I know the names (JoshW, DDD, LEEE, et al) as I know the hard work and time they put into their stories and casts. Not to say the others I don't read haven't, but there is just too many of the same fan casts being spewed and barely any original picks. I have only done two or three casts, so I know how hard it is to out them together.

Joslezio85 - 3/13/2010, 11:05 AM
Thanks guys. I knew there would be a lot who agreed, but good god.

@Leee. There's no villain yet. I'm trying to stick strictly to the comics, and the villain hasn't shown up yet. One of the many, actually shows up in the next few scenes which is what I'm working on right now. It's hard, cuz I haven't read them from the beginning in a while. So, I'm having to go back and re-read a lot to make sure I don't leave out any important details. Believe it or not. This is a long process. I have to think of the many different directions this could take, and think of what kinda music would give it its own feel. I don't want to make it just another crappy two bit metal soundtrack. Too many movies do that these days. I want to make it very eclectic without losing the feel of the movie. I'm working on the second post as we speak. Searching through my endless library of music to find the perfect matches.

I'm also working on a Wolverine sequel-ish. It's not really going to be a reboot, but I'm going to pretend a lot of the first one didn't happen. Which isn't hard considering he lost his memory. Fair warning, it's not going to be "exactly" true to the comics. But, I do think it would make a very good movie.

Thanks for reading.

@DDD. I know, he's short. I originally had the rock. But, I thought someone lesser known could own the role better. I thought about casting the rock as his brother for those short moments he's in the story.

@ Kunyahk. I'm aware, and believe me. I thought hard about it before I decided to go ahead and use him. Most of the Indian actors I'm familiar with are either, too old, or are small. I lot of people have suggested the guy from Apocalyptica? to me. But, although, he's in great physical shape. He's not very thick, he's a lanky guy and doesn't look built because of it. I also considered Steven Strait from 10,000 b.c. but he's not Indian either and I thought Michael Copon fit the bill better. If you've got any suggestions, I'm always open to hear em.

No big deal not gonna cry about it but it's Bullsh1t..And his was seen more!!Nobody saw it it got buried..

Joslezio85 - 3/13/2010, 11:57 AM
well SHHH. I did just that. I went through and found yours and the other article. Ironically enough, your both on the second page, and you both have the exact same amount of comments. Whereas I don't agree with taking someones ideas. It seems like his casting choices were mainly different. I do find yours more original, just so you know. I do agree it sucks, I had seen his, but I hadn't ever seen yours. I don't think you both doing the same thing is the problem tho. Your both very entitled to your opinion. The problem is that a million different people are doing the same thing. How many fan casts do we need for Logan Lerman as Spider-man? Also, how many fan casts have to be Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man? Isn't that a given by now. I don't know some of it's alright. But enough is enough. I do understand your frustration. But the real problem is the lack of creativity and originality. It seems, as of late, that people just post, to do just that, post. Nothing more. They don't care what its about. They just want to have it on the screen. As long as people keep commenting on the stupid-crap(yes, its a word). People are just going to continue doing it. Now, don't get me wrong, a stupid fun filled post every once in a while is awesome. The Wolverine hummer post(if you recall that one) was hilarious. But, too much of a good thing, always ends up just annoying.

That is the problem as you explained it better than I did mine was more about frustration.. Key word Originality.
Joslezio85
Joslezio85 - 3/13/2010, 12:19 PM
I'm hoping there will be some changes in the near future. Everyone who is frustrated, hold tight. CBM won't let us down. They are just as passionate about some of this stuff as we are. I have complete faith that they will take care of what needs to be done for us. Just hold tight a little longer. I've heard people mention leaving, and not posting anymore. I don't personally feel that anything so drastic is necessary. Just a little more patience for a little bit longer. CBM's good to us. We just gotta do our part and wait.

I hope...

@JoslezioI totally agree with everything you said man.

I make try to make a fan cast every week, even if it doesnt end up the best. I at least try to put effort into it, because it's what we should do. One pick cats shouldnt even be aloud. if you care, then put other people that support that character.

I write a lot of stories and every time i finish one i dont know when to post it cause i know that it will be on page 2 in less than a day. it pisses me off, but it's life.

About the story. it sounds really good dude, you should finish it.

joslezio85: I got it now it was late and my mind was a little fuzzy lol...but I feel what your saying about the fan fic. It's one of the reasons I love this site but lately it's just too much of the same ole same ole.

I've also noticed alot of the more thought out cast posters/bloggers are hardly posting in fan fic.
LEEE777,DDD,JOSHW,OZ,AND I can name a few who I actually
get on here to see what they've got going ON isnt hitting us up with much. I guess they're tired of people stealing their ideas and recasting their characters with a little twist so to speak LOL. Hopefully this will get worked out and dont worry about pissing someone off...we're all big boys n some girls we'll all live.
