Cliff,
I work in the movie industry - in Hollywood. After reading the various messages you have posted to the FNTN thread, the image that is created in my mind is that of the perfect description of a fictitious character one might see in a movie.
Please allow me to describe this fictitious character - as I see him (perhaps, if I find someone to write the screen play, we can hire you as a technical advisor).
Anyway, the location would be a street corner in a ghetto area of any major city. The buildings would be boarded up and, parked up and down the street, are a series of cars that have been vandalized, but still remaining on the street.
As the camera pans the scene, we see the most outlandishly dressed man. Although in his own mind, his attire is swerve and continental, in reality, it is bargain basement merchandise - whose labels could never be removed.
Next to the individual is a totally "pimped out" Lexus or Jaguar.
As the camera moves closer, we can hear this "Pimp" talking to anyone and everyone who walks past. Like his clothing, he thinks his knowledge and vocabulary are vastly superior to that of anyone within the sound of his voice.
However, only after listening to his rhetoric for a short time, the audience knows this individual is full of crap and, as the old adage goes, "He doesn't know his ass from a hold in the ground" or "He doesn't know sh** from Shine-Ola".
The only hook this person has on the audience is his sprinkling of sparsely intelligible words that are mixed in whit the continuos jive and rubbish that flows from his mouth.
As always, the Pimp is "A Legend in His Own Mind" and nothing will ever change that. The pity is that there are some people, young and middle aged, that get caught up in his rap - and start believing it.
Does the Pimp care? No ! - - OF COURSE NOT ! !
As a matter of fact, the more people that listen to him, the higher he gets on his own words.
Hey Cliff - this sound like a great movie. Do you think we could find someone to play the part of the Pimp?
Would you be interested in investing? It could be a really low budget film and make lots and lots of money. After all, the public is willing to pay their money for anything. But than again, you might feel it is your responsibility, like Ralph Reed or someone like that, to protect the public and make sure the film will never be made, much less distributed and shown to the mass market.
It was just a though. I guess that's why I'm on the financial side of the business. So much for my opinion on the making of a movie.
Anyway, the entire thing is just a JOKE.
