This is an update blog for the forthcoming Bug-Juice Productions film project Killer Meatloaf (working title).
Thursday, February 10, 2005
Here's a little peek into the process of pre-production, compromise and whatever. I get a giggle out of this conversation between me and Quill.
Quill desperately wants this scene of the Loaf popping out of a pizza box at some random stranger, cuz it's his original idea from years back.
Here ya go:
nixizevil: Hello, dude.
quilled_one: hey man
quilled_one: what up?
nixizevil: Found the plans for making a $14 steadi-cam. So that's added to my own personal budget.
nixizevil: Along with the 2-way radios. Those are things I'll get myself.
quilled_one: hmmmm
quilled_one: awesome
nixizevil: I"m stoked about the Steadi. Will help a lot.
quilled_one: oh yes
nixizevil: I think I"ve worked out how to get your damn pizza guy scene in the movie. Bastard.
quilled_one: haha
quilled_one: coolness
nixizevil: Check it...
nixizevil: After the Loaf kills the mormon and takes off down the street or through the yards and Dave gets up to chase it and knocks himself out...
nixizevil: The Loaf is racing past the pizza guy at the door and just jumps him then crawls in the box. The door the pizza guy was at is Corey's house. So it disguised itself as a meatloaf pizza and that's why Corey ate it.
nixizevil: Makes more sense than the Corey explanation I had. So thanks.
quilled_one: actually dude
nixizevil: Corey could open it and say "That's one meaty pizza" or something.
nixizevil: ?
quilled_one: I would ask that it be done as a random victim and jump out at the guy from inside the pizza box
quilled_one: not to be picky...it's a good idea...but it's the one scene that holds my original vision for Meatloaf
quilled_one: and I'd request to keep it, in light of my other cooperation
quilled_one: even if it's a deleted scene
nixizevil: But the random deaths are occuring at this time of the film. So you've got your randomness, but it just so happens to be a friend of our character. I thought it was a sort of nice compromise/balance of what you described. The loaf is hiding from Dave and that's a perfect way to do it.
quilled_one: but that's not the way I wanted that scene to pan out
nixizevil: You want the jumping out and shit, I take it.
quilled_one: yes I do
quilled_one: you have to admit, except for this, I've been open to everything else
quilled_one: but this one scene I wanted to be the Quill portion of it
quilled_one: since it was from my original vision
nixizevil: How about this...
nixizevil: We do your jumping out and slaughter and then it climbs back into the fucking box or drags it behind and gets to Corey's door, jumps up and hits the bell then crawl back in the fucking box and emulates a goddamn pizza?
quilled_one: why don't you just have the meatloaf on the table
quilled_one: and corey saying "huh, mom left me dinner! cool!"
nixizevil: Cuz it's retarded and I hated that part that I wrote.
nixizevil: I'd be more willing to eat a pizza than a fucking meatloaf.
nixizevil: Thank you, Dominos.
quilled_one: but that doesn't make sense because pizza has dough and cheese, which it wouldn't be able to emulate because it's completely meat lol
nixizevil: It just kinda spreads itself over the thing.
quilled_one: omg, I'm arguing technicalities over killer meat
quilled_one: lol
nixizevil: No shit.
nixizevil: A very meaty pizza, dammit.
quilled_one: still, I would like my pizza scene to be intact and not altered
quilled_one: ...please.
quilled_one: :D
nixizevil: That's what I just said, you....you....dammit! That's what we just worked out.
quilled_one: alright cool
quilled_one: thank you
nixizevil: I"m posting this ridiculous conversation on the Loaf blog. This is funny.
quilled_one: you know...the meatloaf could always just force itself down a sleeping Corey's throat...
quilled_one: if it can kill you, it can certainly do that
nixizevil: That's true, but not as interesting. We've already had one sleeping death/attack.
quilled_one: alright...how about a waking possesion?
nixizevil: That's you.
nixizevil: Not an actual ingestion.
quilled_one: the meatloaf leaps at Corey and covers his face, alien style
nixizevil: You're the one who's possessed. But you bring up an interesting point. Just another effect, though. Will have to think about how to pull it off and $.
quilled_one: easy...have a scene showing the meatloaf leaping at Corey
quilled_one: then have a scene with corey laying prone on the floor, meat covering his face
nixizevil: Gee, never thought of that. (sarcasm)
quilled_one: we're going to go through a lot of meat
quilled_one: it doesn't have to be spider-crab shaped meat like a facehugger...just has to be covering his face....
nixizevil: I know that, goofball.
nixizevil: I want a disgusting eating scene. I want Corey to have shit dripping down his face and totally enjoying unknowingly killing himself.
nixizevil: Anyway....your scene will be done. I'll figure out how to move on to the rest.
quilled_one: at least you can say that I'm the most liberal producer on earth in terms of giving you artist reign with my brainchild
nixizevil: Rock on.
