“A Game of Pool” is on MeTV, for those of you who get it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

MeTV…isn’t that like your own personal webcam?

Senor Weaselo

It’s our classics channel. It’s on after Perry Mason which Padre Weaselo now watches religiously.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes I know what MeTV is. I was just screwing with you.

Now, what’s the address to that webcam?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

A friend of mine has asked me for a decent amount of money to “invest” in a movie. He’s actually decent at this and the other people involved have made legit films (not porn) that have returned on the initial investments. I told him no but am trying to figure out if I should just say fuck it and give it a shot.

Mr. Ayo

If an actual friend and money you won’t hold over his head forever, go for it.
Also, insist on porn. And an extra role. And a royalty stake.

Senor Weaselo

A royalty stake in a porno means every so quarter you receive a, um, service, right?

Mr. Ayo

That’s negotiable. Dare to dream BFC.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I guess I have a lot to ponder.

Unsurprised

*pound her.

ballsofsteelandfury

Depends on the amount. Treat it as any other investment you feel comfortable putting money into.

Now, having been involved in certain aspects of the movie industry (no, not porn), I can tell you that prior successful experience is HUGE in this business . If these guys have done it before, odds are they will do it again.

It’s the ones that have no experience that will drain money.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Sorry I’m late to this….

If he and the others are truly good at what they do, maybe consider it, but with two conditions…

1) Don’t expect it to come back to you, principle or ROI. Money isn’t worth losing friends over.

b) Insist on a piece of the action should it do well.

$) Only if you can afford to lose it, and Lady BFC won’t hold it over your head for like….EVAR.

theeWeeBabySeamus

OK, that’s three conditions.
But you get my point.

Also…porn. I’m willing to work for scale.
Tho my scale ain’t what it used to be.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

First two points are easy enough. The third one and how often he wants to go back to the we’ll are what concern me…

theeWeeBabySeamus

That’s a fair point. Without knowing him, it’s difficult to counsel.
If he’s that kind tho, I’d say maybe steer clear.

ballsofsteelandfury

If you make money, how is that a problem? You treat it as a regular investment. You determine how much you have to invest and that’s it.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I think what BFC is saying is he’s concerned if they go over budget, he’ll feel obligated to throw more dough in…and potentially lose more on the back end.

Good money after bad kinda thing.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s why the experience factor is HUGE. If they are experienced as BFC says they are, they won’t go over budget.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hopefully.

ballsofsteelandfury

Dude, I’ve been involved in productions with people that knew what they were doing and in others with people that didn’t. The difference is gigantic.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Totally get it. It’s BFC’s concerns which were my hesitation. He needs to feel confident in this was all I was saying.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Or at least “confident enough”.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

I’m sincerely glad I didn’t have to be here for this conversation. 🙂

BrettFavresColonoscopy

But balls, have you thrown money into a film before? I’m not just worried they go over budget and come back to prevent dilution, I’m also worried that ANY profits are expected to be rolled into the next thing and the next thing, all of which are invariably bigger bites.

theeWeeBabySeamus

That’s where you need a good entertainment attorney for contract stuff.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Boooooooo

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yup. But if you want your ass covered, etc.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s the kind of stuff you get clear ahead of time. It’s like investing in a mutual fund and choosing to reinvest dividends. You don’t have to if you don’t want to.

This can be a one-time deal solely focused on this film.

I haven’t put money in personally, but I know people who have and made money. I’ve also seen money disappear. Like I said, experience plays a big role. If they know what they are doing, paying investors back is the first thing that happens once they make up expenses . You don’t make multiple films if you don’t.

Just don’t expect to get rich. That doesn’t happen very often. Treat it like a regular investment with a small expected percentage gain.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Hippo will bet on this movie.

Its amazing how many promising careers the Bengals are ruined.

I feel like Burfict has had a hand in his own career-ruining.

Like a race horse, he had to be broken to reach his true potential.

King Hippo

Call me old-fashioned, I just DO NOT believe in having my hair cut by a heterosexual man. If’n mah hair stylist of 22 years (Nikki, sole proprietor of Devil’s Haircut in downtown Raleigh) ever dies or retires, I will CONSIDER a homosexual if no ladyfolk are available.

But in truth, will probably just go full Unabomber. That would be the last straw, having to actually TELL someone how I would like my hair cut, rather than just sitting down and talking about The Leftovers.

litre_cola

Lebanese dudes were born to cut hair.

King Hippo

Nikki is Lebanese!!

Taught me the great phrase “Lebanese shower” – pits, tits, ass, and pussy (well, I guess man-pussy for me ,, smh)

LMFAO

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Guess who’s US Caucasian.

King Hippo

Redshirt

How do you feel about Metrosexual? Is that an option?

King Hippo

Possibly. It depends on how dire the situation is. He’d have to be really good and really metrosexual.

Unsurprised

That’s weird. I only get mine cut by women, but rarely the same one. I haven’t had a regular barber since college – a very old-school barbershop in D.C. – and before that the one my grandfather used forever, but that was only until he retired when I was ten.

The one barber at the shop I go to now that I really thought nailed it when she cut my hair doesn’t work there anymore, which is frustrating. All that being said, I need to get it cut. I feel shaggy.

Lost a lot of depth. Daley, Hainsey, Bonino to other teams, Schultz is out I think? And probably more. Like Fleury.

I don’t think there’s ever been a goalie who’s gotten as much undeserved credit for a team’s long-term success as MAF.

King Hippo

I got in at -6. Is now -6.5. Opened at -4.5. Am expecting an offensive explosion, and the Falcons to basically lay down (like they have most of the season).

Line was too high (7.5, risen now to 9) to bet on Jaguras, plus is an even week. Will bet on them next week v. Yinzers, should they survive.

Have medium ACTION on the Tits +8, and moneyline (get like +360-380 there, pretty hefty payout for a foreseeable Reid/KC flop).

Anyway, my dreams are all ded, fuck have I got to lose.

King Hippo

Maybe a small moneyline bet on the Vikings game, but only if payout is favourable. Won’t bet ATS, could easily see that one getting out of hand. Minny is REALLY fucking good.

ballsofsteelandfury

Ok, here is what I propose: I take Atlanta +6.5. You take RAMMIT -6.5.

Stakes: $100 to each person’s favorite charity.

If I win, I want the money to go to the Single Mothers of the Capital Cabaret on behalf of tWBS You two have to personally deliver the donation.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hehehehe.

King Hippo

that makes me LEAVE THE HOUSE. You should at least have to also buy a RRRRRRRRAM IT!!! hat and wear it to your meathead gym all winter, or sommet.

ballsofsteelandfury

That’s the point. And yes, I will wear a RAMMIT hat as requested.

ballsofsteelandfury

Or t-shirt. I don’t really wear hats. But I can wear the t-shirt every time I go to the gym.

theeWeeBabySeamus
