Char Siu, Script Cuts
பிப்ரவரி 28, 2022
Ate rich roast pork and noted how calorie-dense it felt after half a box. Later studied film revenue forecasting and planned major cuts to a 120-page script
Sri Lankan Emigration, Lost Leadership and Minority Exclusion
9:30 p.m.
I'm sad that a lot of good people in SL, they left SL, they went overseas. They saw no opportunities in SL. They saw too many problems. They don't even want to talk about Sri Lanka, as they have given up.
It's unlikely I could be leader. If that was the case, the Dutch Burghers would return, the English speakers, the properly educated Sri Lankans or Sinhalese and Tamils, they would return. It won't happen, only a dream.
I was watching this. I thought to myself. The Cuban marxist revolution, was a lot like, the Sinhalese nationalist attitudes. ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
Cutting a Ninety-Page Chapter Down to Twenty Pages
11:00 p.m.
(c)
I don't share any info on my script. Here is an edited screenshot to illustrate a point I keep raising.
The whole script, is like 120 pages. Chapter 6, is a whopping 90 pages now. This is after I edited the entire script which was a nightmare that people ought to make a black 'n white movie like Mank on me for, suffering through, to make a Citizen Kane.
So, this 90 pages, I have to somehow, cut it down to around 10 or 20 pages. Each page is a 1 minute. I think it's great for value, as the whole thing is useful for conducting a lot of joint business with US.
Mum’s Bollywood Picks and My Girls Next Door Choice
1:00 a.m.
I think my mum will pick Amitabh Bachan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hirthik Roshan at Kabi Kushi Kabi Gham.
I'd pick, The Girls Next Door
The first five seasons centered around then-girlfriends, Holly ███████, Bridget █████████ and Kendra █████████.

Watching No Country for Old Men and Editing Chapter Six
1:30 a.m.
I'm going to watch No Country For Old Men. They portray a psychopath accurately in it.
Douglas MacArthur's Tommy Lee Jones is in it.
He's in Men in Black, I love the guy.
I think my script, it is good, I will just write chapter 6 slowly, it is going to be reviewed and then edited to be as short as possible.
Looking Past Distractions to Solve the Actual Problem
1:30 a.m.
(b)
A lot of people, they get caught up in the movie, they lose eyes on the point.
They get caught up in the game of sport or luck, they lose eyes on the point.
They bet at our 300 casinos in Sri Lanka, only we end up winning all the money.
The drug cartels dig tunnels, deal drugs in USA, Trump talks about building a wall, they talk about funding the DEA to fight drugs and cartels:
Why not just profitably control the supply?
This is the point.
They are not thinking. They are not using reason. They are not solving the problem. They are just using the same hammer to hit a problem, which won't solve it. You don't need a hammer, you need to see...

Disliking Tiny Viewfinders and Developing the Script’s Narratives
2:00 a.m.
(b)
In filmmaking, something I despise, is the view finder. See, I like it that it is outside, external, a monitor. But, I don't like, how, it is very small.
Usually it's tiny, this is bad because, then, the resolution and composition of a shot is not captured.
Proportionally or how it will look on a wide final screen, or in the cinemas.
This is very bad.
I am thinking to myself, about various narratives in my script, and about how some of the stories should be evolved, and things like that.
