who
cares. I think a movie titled "The Machinist" should play more like a
world
famous heart surgeon (the machinist) bombarded with almost dead
patients
(parts). The drama would be the daily solving of complex problems and
obstacles while not killing the patient. There could be generic
hospital
type drama like one real brilliant machinist surrounded by a group of
people
consantly battling for place in the pecking order. I could make the
time to
help write and even star in it.



A crippled sub lays on the bottom in the Atlantic, the crew alive, but
time is

outside of
an industrial building for the only one capable of making the key part
to enable
a sucessful rescue, THE MACHINIST. (dramatic instrumental here) He
finishes the
part, it's rushed out to the chopper which is spooling up, ready to
whisk it to
the nearest AF base to a waitng SR-71............

I would pay to see a machinist movie that depicts us as the heroes we

Nawwww.........

He dont need no steenkin file, he has a horizontal cnc knee mill on board
and he's got bobcad V14 all loaded up on a laptop, he does a few quick MDI

I want a remake or sequel to "The Car". Actually I think James Brolin would
be the best choice for the sequel. Broling looks great, must be a runner and liberalg.

the arrogant know-it-all programmer that never makes mistakes has choked (but
slides the blame onto some unsuspecting soul who is fired on the spot) and since
MDI edits are *never* allowed, the program is reposted *6* times! (unsuspecting
soul is chased by violent mob while know-it-all programmer snickers to himself,
he being the only one that could save unsuspecting soul from being lynched).
Sadly, unsuspecting soul's name is remembered for decades as the slime who
caused the suffocation of all hands in the crippled sub. 75 years later the
truth is accidently uncoverd by researchers going over old computer discs found
intact in a landfill at the base of a steep hillside.
Alas, no happy ending, although THE MACHINIST did such a fabulous job and the
sailors were *nearly* saved because of his/her efforts.

I arrived at a customers once to find them getting ready to shut down a
whole chemical plant because a pump coupling had busted and buggered the
shaft up real bad. They had been hacking at thing for a couple of hours and
still couldn't get a new one on. I asked them to hold off for half an hour
and let me take a whack at it. Shutting down meant a two day startup with
losses of $8000 an hour. I drove across the street to our shop and got a
pair of digital calipers, a magic marker and a good file. In half an hour I
had the coupling back on and the plant was kept running. Oops, wrong movie,
I was and electrician in that version! Sorry!

Just as the bad guy sneaks up him taking a roughing cut the machinist pushes
the feed rate WAY up. A huge hot chip comes spiraling off the tool and
spears the bad guy with the big wrench right through the heart. The blood
sizzles as spurts on the hot metal in the chuck.

The way Hollywood would do it today.

Jon,

Allow me to illustrate how you are all ****ed up with this union nonsense. I
will write, produce, direct and star in this small independent film. I will
only hire job shop machinists, no engineers, no union machinists. The day's
pay on the set will be a 12 pack of their favorite beer, $100 cash, and a
percentage of distribution. After I win Cannes, and Sundance the film will
become a cult classic. We all get $1,000,000 a piece in distribution. Now
why in the blue **** would I need a union?

Heh, check it out:


I saw the original script for this movie in Dallas Texas in 1986, that
shows you how difficult it is to get a movie made. Unless the script has
substantial changes, it has some really interesting twists that aren't
explained in the synopsis. So as not to give the good stuff away, the one
hint is in the title "The Machinist".

My congratulations to Brad the director for hanging in there for all these
years, I'm sorry that I wasn't around to art direct the film.

running short. Out on the Best Coast a chopper, engine idling, awaits
outside of
an industrial building for the only one capable of making the key part
to enable
a sucessful rescue, THE MACHINIST. (dramatic instrumental here) He
finishes the
part, it's rushed out to the chopper which is spooling up, ready to
whisk it to
the nearest AF base to a waitng SR-71............

I would pay to see a machinist movie that depicts us as the heroes we
truly are.

then when the part gets there to do its job they find the engineer
that made the print (fill in a name_) made a mistake on the cad drawing
because he used http://www.geocities.com/banquercadcam/ Another
machinist uin the nuddke if the Atlantic ocean on a rolling ship with
only a file a hammer and a chisel finishes the part to the right
dimensions and saves the day.

I arrived at a customers once to find them getting ready to shut down a
whole chemical plant because a pump coupling had busted and buggered the
shaft up real bad. They had been hacking at thing for a couple of hours and
still couldn't get a new one on. I asked them to hold off for half an hour
and let me take a whack at it. Shutting down meant a two day startup with
losses of $8000 an hour. I drove across the street to our shop and got a
pair of digital calipers, a magic marker and a good file. In half an hour I
had the coupling back on and the plant was kept running. Oops, wrong movie,
I was and electrician in that version! Sorry!

After

If you can schedule the shoot near my vacation time, I'm in. I can act,
too - I act like I'm working all the time.

Instead of beer, maybe a few bottles of a nice Chianti for me, okay
Bill?

That story line is rather generic....

"Plagued with guilt, Trevor's shame becomes suspicion, then paranoia,
when it appears his workmates are conspiring to have him fired –- or
worse. First he finds cryptic notes left in his apartment. Next he's
told that a mysterious co-worker involved in the accident doesn't
exist."

Looks like plagiarism to me. Sound a bit like "Beautiful Mind"?

I'll put you down as "in". Two buck chuck o.k.? If not I have a European
deli that has great deals on some excellent imports.

That's Zamboanga. It's a city in the Philippines. Apparently, a city with
monkey and whale problems.

Two buck chuck? Would that be foreign or domestic? Gotta keep up

Cause without a union bug you won't ever get proper distribution, and
that mil you're hoping for will dissipate in legal fees.
