I am making a school project and I need to know how to get a scene from a movie into my film, i need whatever your answer is to work with iMovie, also i can not spend any extra money...thanksQuestion #2:
I need psychological help?
I'm 19, in first year college. I feel like I'm going to break down any day now from a problem that may not seem like a big deal for any of you (you may say I'm too young), but to me it's slowly killing me. I have never had a girlfriend. Never had a date. Never talk to girls much. Why? I just don't freaking know. The way I was raised, I don't get much affection from family. I have never hugged or kissed anyone, not even my own parents. It's like I just can't, as if a boundary is there to stop me. My parents love me, but they don't always physically show it. My dad has never hugged me or told me he loved me. He yells at me all the time, and sometimes gets physically aggressive. The biggest gesture he's ever given me was a handshake. That was once, about 7 years ago, when I was leaving to Israel to see my family. There was previous news of missiles trying to attack a plane, but we went anyways, and prayed we'd live. My mom and brother got a hug and a kiss. I got nothing. I felt like trash. My mom is ok. She hugs me or gives me a kiss once every very long while. Lets put it this way. My friends give me more affection then my parents. They always tell me that they love me (buddy love), and sometimes try to hug me. I feel so bad because I can't do the same to them because I don't have it in me. However, my friends tell me I'm one of the most amazing people that they have ever met, and one of a kind. They say I am very polite, strong, faithful, and full of life morals. I try to be the best that I can, but sometimes I just don't cut it. They tell me, "Danny, you need a woman. We recommend it so much that we think you should get married by next year." I am still a virgin, and won't have sex until I'm married (one of my life morals. I want to be pure for her). They tell me I should get married because of how stressed my life is. I work so hard. I start college around 9am in the morning, and may stay up to 10pm at night (I'm a film student). I'm starting to grow a few grey hairs. The reason I THINK that I'm so depressed is not just from school, but also from the lack of receiving affection from people. I'm just human. We all need that sense of love. I want someone to teach me to love, but it's so difficult to find someone when you are 19 and can't even talk to girls. Believe me when I tell you I've tried so many approaches. Girls never seem to want to talk to me. I feel so unappreciated sometime, and I do so much for people that it's crazy. I do it to see them smile. That's all I want from them. But I also need someone to be there for me. I'm not superman. I can't live alone like this for ever.Sorry I talked so much, but what I wrote down isn't everything that I have to say. But you guys got the idea. What should I do?
Question #3:
Is this a somewhat good start for the "Alice in Wonderland" review I'm writing for my school newspaper?
I'll probably end up changing it, but what do you think?It was on March 5, 2010, when my mom decided to check me out of school to see the most talked about movie of the year, "Alice in Wonderland." I was super - and I mean super - excited for this film. I was so excited, that every time I saw a trailer, I would either hyperventilate, or tinkle my pants a little like a Twilight fan meeting Robert Pattinson for the first time.
I don't care if you say it sucks. This is just a rough draft. I'm sure I'll end up changing it.
Also, I am terribly sorry if I have offended any Twilight fans out there. I know not all of you are like that.
It would have been nice if you guys answered this question before I changed everything. Thanks a heap.

Question #5:
Am I screwed or is there a way out of this?
I didn't want to go on my photography excursion in school because I would be by myself and I didn't know my way around, I was also away the day my teacher handed out the forms. Not to mention if I go on the excursion, I would miss school needles that my mom paid for. (usually a good thing)Well, my photography teacher that looks exactly like Nanny McPhee, said she wanted a "good excuse" why I was going to be absent. I told her something that was actually going to happen in 2 weeks time, that my Dad is taking me to the airport to meet family.
Sounded good.
But then she lifts up a camera of school property and sais "Perfect. You can take the photos at the airport" Maybe she didn't believe me? I'm going to use the film to take photos of parks instead. I told my mom that.
But my teacher is going to SPAZZ. OUT if I tell her I lied (you don't know my teacher!!)
Should I get my mom to write a fake note that I got the airport days mixed up?

Girl Trouble (Need Advice)?
Alright. So, there's this girl. She's everything I want. She's cute, funny, friendly, up front, polite, and not to mention absolutely gorgeous. But, my best friend really likes her too. He's liked her for a long time and he says she likes him back. But, the thing is.. My friend likes a lot of girls. And I mean A LOT. He likes her sister who also likes him back. And he can't choose who he wants to be with more.Anyway, I met this girl a couple weeks ago. We did a short film for school together along with 12 other people including my buddy. I was swooning at first sight. But, i was too afraid to make a move or frankly even talk to her because I didn't want to hurt my friend or anything. Well, that didn't work for very long because we ended up talking most of the night.
A week later I found out she liked me. He also mentioned something about her not being as flirty around him. He said he thinks it's due to her not wanting to hurt her sister. Well, just like she doesn't want to hurt her sister, I don't want to hurt him. I don't want to take the opportunity away from him, but, at the same time, I want to be with her. I also finally told him that I liked her too. He said "If you want her, go for her". But, I don't know if he's just saying that because.. One: I always make jokes on how she wouldn't never even be attracted to me (and he doesn't know she likes me back). and Two: He might just be saying that to seem like a good friend.
Either way, I don't want anyone to get hurt or even mad at me. I already f*cked up one friendship by "stealing" somebodies future girlfriend. What should I do? Fight for her? Or let my mate have a shot? Anyone have advice? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. This girl has been through a lot. She really needs someone to be there for her. Someone to make her smile or laugh even when she wasn't looking for one. Someone to take her breath away. And there's nothing more that I want than to be that someone.
Question #9:
How long does it take to get a part in a movie?
I have no acting experience, but I am positive I love acting. When I was younger and acted in plays I thought it was really fun, but that was years ago and I can't put that on my resume. My sister just recently acted in a play and had so much fun. I really want to start acting too, but my school isn't having any more plays this year...I really want to be a film actress and move to LA. I'm going to be 18 this fall. I'm kinda pretty and I can look anywhere from 14-18 depending on how much make-up I wear and stuff, so I think they might like me. Still, like I said, I really have no experience, but I want to do film. What is the average amount of time it takes before an actress gets her first roll in a film (not a main role or popular movie, just a part in a film). Do I need to spend time doing plays or other things before I jump into this. What should I do and how long will it take?Question #10:
Please help me find the title to this late 80's thriller/horror film?
Here's what I remember:A man(possibly a lawyer)saves a woman from being attacked/abducted, he takes her home and finds out she is being pursued by a cult(satanic I assume) He helps the woman all through the film but at the end it is revealed that the woman was a member of the cult and she was just setting up the man so that the cult could sacrifice him and in the end that's just what happens. The bad guys win. I remember seeing this on VHS when I was in high school so that puts it in the late 80's. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.Question #11:
Im pregnant but this dream has worried me...?
Basically in this dream i went into premature labour, I was rushed to hospital and then in my dream, I woke up at home and my baby bump was gone so I searched my house (which wasnt actually my house) and walked into a study room where my babies dad (my ex partner) was sat and there was a moses basket, i walked over to the moses basket and picked up a baby girl but she was rather old like a 6 month old baby. My ex partner gave me a wierd smirk and said meet the latest member of the "ritchie" family... I then realised the baby wasnt mine and put her down and ran out the house, my ex partner just stared at me smirking. For some reason I ended up back in school after this trying to find my baby and one of my old form tutors were there and she advised me not to go to the hospital, but i wanted to know what had happened to my baby. She tried to stop me from going so I ran away knocking a load of people down the stairs. I got to the hospital and asked a man who was a sonographer where my baby was and he said "has nobody told you yet?" and i automatically thought my baby had died, he then said "your babies fine, your still pregnant" so I asked him for a scan to show me and whilst I was having the scan I saw the babies face and it had blood shot eyes and looked quite scary. After that the police were chasing me for knocking those people down the stairs so I ran off onto some balcony thing and was getting changed outside, a girl then came out of the hospital and told me the man asked her to give me this scan picture of my baby.I woke up after this and rang up one of my friends almost crying. I cant get this dream out of my head! It was like a horror film!
Does it mean anything?
Question #12:
Could anyone suggest the best film versions of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" and "Julius Caesar?"?
I'm about to teach a high school unit on these two plays, and it would be great to have a film to show after we read them. A quick look at Amazon revealed numerous film versions for each, and I am a little daunted! I'm not necessarily looking for the films that most closely follow the original play. I'm hoping to find films that will hold the students' interest and remain true to the spirit of each play. Thanks so much for your input.Question #13:
What do you think of the March 4th protests (details and video)?
16 students at UW Milwaukee were arrested for what the police and school chancellor claim was violent behavior. I was there and personally saw no violence. Here's a video filmed by a student journalist, who gets arrested at the end of the video as well.I know this was a few days ago, but it was just released since the journalist's camera was confiscated.

Im 17 too and i sorta like him more than a best friend.
well considering hes my best friend...you would think he wud be honest if he doesn't want to come...and not be secretive
Question #16:
How come, having started off with the best and purest intentions for my life, I've ended up in complete ruin?
So, in high school everyone praised me for having such a high GPA, getting into a great college, and playing baseball while also editing the yearbook and being in Honor Society. I had few real friends and kind of just blended in, coming home to mess around and study. I worked extremely hard on my writing, getting tutors to ensure A’s and high SAT scores, and I was a total detail-oriented person in every way, even diligently studying the Driver’s Ed book...and cropping photos for the yearbook like it was for National Geographic. I thought that as long as I did all those things then everything would be great in my life. Unfortunately, not the case...Fast forward 2004 to now, I've had friendships start, end...I've been hated, loved, praised, mocked. I've done masterful work in college, I've also done lazy work in college. I've been so anxious to get a 4.0 at times that I took Xanax to dull the nervousness but since about a year ago I just feel like I want to graduate and get out of there and I don’t stress the classes or my grades that much, just care about passing as it’s my last semester.
I smoked almost 2 packs a day for half a year due to school/interpersonal anxiety. I quit that 1.5 years ago. I got into shape and dropped 50 pounds while cutting my body fat to about 12% and looking really ripped. I became disillusioned with the fact that it didn't get a nice girlfriend so I put back some of the fat from before and it’s kind of like that time and effort was wasted at the gym. I tried to transform myself into a Pickup artist from reading 'The Game' to find strategies to get women at bars to like you. I became very outgoing with women and they responded, but again, it was either superficial banter at the bar or a superficial relationship that hurt me more than helped me.
I tried to find the Lord recently and bring myself to Jesus. I was saved (hopefully) and baptized at a Baptist church. I thought I would fit in there...but I didn't, they taught all these rules on what I could and couldn't do and I couldn't understand their hatred of all things 'normal' as well as Catholics and things like that. After having found a haven in the Church and being an active member like 2 or 3 days week for several months, I ended up telling them goodbye and never looking back. I do love Jesus and have a cross tattoo on my arm that I absolutely love, but I guess I don't love him as much as I should since I don't pray, repent regularly, or even pick up my KJV Bible.
My best friend of 11 years basically cut all ties with me for no apparent reason. My other friend just graduated with a degree in Econ from a great school but he was just taken to a psych ER for having semi-delusional thoughts and anxiety...I feel bad for him, but he'll be straight. I've tried to become a Jersey-shore type character where I dress with a huge cross and all fancy clothes, girls tell me I'm cute but that makes me feel even worse cuz I've been told that for years but I haven't had a relationship that has made me happy...just random, physically-satisfying sex that makes me feel miserable afterwards.
Now, everywhere I go...bars, clubs, strippers, prostitutes, girls off Craigslist who want nothing but sex, I keep getting questioned as to where I work, why did I quit a cushy govt job where I couldve been making 70 thousand in 5 years, and where I work now. I tell them I'm just studying full time, directing student films. They ask me why I still live at home. Why I'm not applying to grad school or looking to make something of myself? What is my drive...am I gonna move out to L.A. to become a big-time filmmaker? I don't have the answer to any of these questions.
I'm just existing...trying not to die, not to hurt people in any way other than my occasional rudeness which I’m working on...I want to feel good, avoid pain, have sex, be loved, make videos that touch people in some way, show people that I'm creative, prove to people that I'm smart who think I'm silly. What does it mean to be a success? When I had a job at SSA no one wanted me...now no one really wants me either who I consider relationship-worthy. Many believe I'm wasting my life away completely.
Do you guys think I'm a failure because I'm 23 with no job, still in college, and not working? So if I had my own place, a good job, and a degree on the wall would I be able to take these girls home and they'd love me? Is it drive that determines success, or results...or a high-paying job? I thought looks, charm, and funny stories was enough to find your dream girl. Now, is it just 'do you work and have your own place' that determines your status in life? By all means, dissect my life. I’m game.
Question #17:
Is there even a remote possibility that I will ever a find a normal girl who loves me for me?

I became disillusioned with the fact that it didn't get a nice girlfriend so I put back some of the fat from before and it’s kind of like that time and effort was wasted at the gym. I tried to transform myself into a Pickup artist from reading 'The Game' to find strategies to get women at bars to like you. I became very outgoing with women and they responded, but again, it was either superficial banter at the bar or a superficial relationship that hurt me more than helped me.
I tried to find the Lord recently and bring myself to Jesus. I was saved (hopefully) and baptized at a Baptist church. I thought I would fit in there...but I didn't, they taught all these rules on what I could and couldn't do and I couldn't understand their hatred of all things 'normal' as well as Catholics and things like that. After having found a haven in the Church and being an active member like 2 or 3 days week for several months, I ended up telling them goodbye and never looking back. I do love Jesus and have a cross tattoo on my arm that I absolutely love, but I guess I don't love him as much as I should since I don't pray, repent regularly, or even pick up my KJV Bible.
My best friend of 11 years basically cut all ties with me for no apparent reason. My other friend just graduated with a degree in Econ from a great school but he was just taken to a psych ER for having semi-delusional thoughts and anxiety...I feel bad for him, but he'll be straight. I've tried to become a Jersey-shore type character where I dress with a huge cross and all fancy clothes, girls tell me I'm cute but that makes me feel even worse cuz I've been told that for years but I haven't had a relationship that has made me happy...just random, physically-satisfying sex that makes me feel miserable afterwards.
Now, everywhere I go...bars, clubs, strippers, prostitutes, girls off Craigslist who want nothing but sex, I keep getting questioned as to where I work, why did I quit a cushy govt job where I couldve been making 70 thousand in 5 years, and where I work now. I tell them I'm just studying full time, directing student films. They ask me why I still live at home. Why I'm not applying to grad school or looking to make something of myself? What is my drive...am I gonna move out to L.A. to become a big-time filmmaker? I don't have the answer to any of these questions.
I'm just existing...trying not to die, not to hurt people in any way other than my occasional rudeness which I’m working on...I want to feel good, avoid pain, have sex, be loved, make videos that touch people in some way, show people that I'm creative, prove to people that I'm smart who think I'm silly. What does it mean to be a success? When I had a job at SSA no one wanted me...now no one really wants me either who I consider relationship-worthy. Many believe I'm wasting my life away completely.
Do you guys think I'm a failure because I'm 23 with no job, still in college, and not working? So if I had my own place, a good job, and a degree on the wall would I be able to take these girls home and they'd love me? Is it drive that determines success, or results...or a high-paying job? I thought looks, charm, and funny stories was enough to find your dream girl. Now, is it just 'do you work and have your own place' that determines your status in life? By all means, dissect my life. I’m game.
Question #20:
It's 2010, do you know what your children are being taught in school?
I know many are going to say I'm crazy because I'm using Glenn Beck as my source. BUT, I was watching his show on Fri. He was talking about the indoctrination of children in public schools. Showing a video where Al Gore, was telling H.S. students, not to trust their parents. I was raised that kids should be taught to THINK for themselves, NOT have people tell them who to support. I'm a parent of 3 kids, and all 3 of them I've been teaching to look at everything from ALL sides, not just what 1 person tells you and to make your choices based on that, and most of all, make your choice based on common sense. When I hear that groups like SDS which is a VERY radical organization that the likes of Bill Ayers have been associated with, and Marxist and Communist groups targeting our nations youth, it scares me. Last year Elementary school children out on the east coast and I believe also the west coast, were filmed singing songs PRAISING, Pres. Obama. And many of the parents of these children were NOT made aware of what these teachers had these kids doing.Personally as a parent I believe that it's NOT the school's place to tell kids to sing songs praising a leader, or tell these kids, that they know more than their parents.
I know I'm a younger adult being in my mid 30's, but I believe that I have more experience in my life when it comes to politics than a 15 year old child.
So, my question to you is. It's 2010, do you know what your children are being taught in school?
About the group SDS, it was originated back when Woodrow Wilson was President, went underground and then resurfaced in the 60's.
