Allons-y On Over to the Youtube-itized Allons-y Movie

Yeah, that’s right, I fixed some things and did some things and then put it on YouTube. w00t. Head on over to here to visit the Allons-y page.

Unrelatedly, you should also take the STP survey to do your part in making this site better.

Anyway, now to the point…

I was convinced that the world was going to end by some massive robotic revolution. So much so that I wrote an extensive blog post about it. I was rather proud of that post, honestly. It took me a long time to write it, so I felt rather accomplished when I was finally clicking “Publish.” I also started a fairly epic script about it. The script, if you were wondering, sorta just went in circles. The blog post was probably better, honestly.

But then, of course, I was reading stuff on the IMDB message boards for Doctor Who. I’m sure the guy who posted these arguments for the imminent downfall of us in the year 2012 wouldn’t mind me reposting them here:

1. Mayan Calendar
The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things:

Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone and
Sacrificing Virgins.

Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it’s likely they’ve got the end of the world right as well.

2. Sun Storms h

Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it’s supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it’s been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it’ll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012

3. The Atom Smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world’s largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it’s properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They’re predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.

4. The Bible says…

If having scientists warning us about the end of the world isn’t bad enough,religious folks are getting in on the act aswell. Interpretations of the Christian Bible reveal that the date for Armageddon, the final battle between Good an Evil, has been set down for 2012. The I Ching, also known as the Chinese book of Changes, says the same thing, as do various sections of the Hindu teachings.

5. Super Volcano

Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple – it’s sitting on top of the world’s biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we’re many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.

6. The Physicists

This one’s case of bog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the numbers. and they’ve determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they’re claiming their calculations prove, that we’re all going to die, very soon – while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.

7. Slip-Slop-Slap-BANG!

We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds us from most of the sun’s radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so – and right now we’re about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.

Very scary stuff right there.

Also, completely unrelatedly, on David Letterman they just sent fifteen people dressed up as aliens into a Jamba Juice and then sent in iron man for good measure. I’m not even sure what the context was, but I thought it was funny.

Oh, and, no school! Yay!

I, hereinafter referred to as Timmy, hereby vow to accomplish the following listed tasks without any backtracking and/or regrets for vowing to accomplish them. Furthermore, I vow to attempt to my fullest ability to accomplish the listed tasks sometime during the up and coming summer, while others are off enjoying their time in other ways.

1. Make The Original Stiff a real reality. I’m serious. I’m finally in a freaking band, and I am not going to let that explode like it normally does. Honestly, and I mean no offense at all to my dear sadist, even if Moses doesn’t want to do it, I’ll get others. I swear, the Original Stiff is going to be awesome and magnificent and is, in fact, going to happen.
2. Speaking of Moses, I vow to get him the present I need to get him for his birthday. Srsly.
3. The prize. Starts with an ‘l’ and ends in a ’5.’ I was gonna say the entire acronym, but if you Google it, it’s actually the very first result. Heh. Anyway, Sticky and I will do this. I’m serious.
4. Meanwhile, we’re gonna start filming on POTOR, whether you like it or not.
5. I’m going to remain thoroughly and completely feeling bad for crushing Chris’ dreams of creating one of the greatest films ever, The Puppet Demention. Everything exploded at once. It sucked… sorry, Chris.
6. I’m going to finish up The Legend of the Purple kNights as well as the revision of Jamez Blak and the Monks of Tunisia (*cough* on the linkage).
7. I’m also gonna finish up the typing and completing of the first Brotherhood book and then work on getting it published. Yeah, that’s right, I said published. I’m getting tired of, when people suggest I get it published just saying, “heh, yeah,” like I’ve never considered it. Of course I’ve considered it. I’ve written almost five-hundred pages when it comes to the Brotherhood (if I’m doing my math right). It’s not just going to sit there and wait for an archaeologist. Even if I have to publish it myself through, like, LuLu or something, it’s getting published.
8. I’m gonna get over the whole Keira thing. I’m a failure. I get it. I have to move on, self, seriously. You suck.
9. Finish my post-apocalyptic script. That thing, while being sorta cliche in parts, would make an amazing film, I have to admit.
10. I will have a life. No really, I will.
11. I will, while maintaining said life, update this blog regularly and update you, fair reader(s) of my daily goings ons. Or, y’know, weekly. Or, y’know, no goings ons at all. I may just do reviews and Words & Phrases. My intention is to make this site a rather enjoyable place to be. I may add a forum. I may not, though. That might be too presumptuous (in thinking people’d join, that is).
12. I’m gonna shoot several things on the HVX, even before we do POTOR (or l—-5).
13. Read some good books.

Although that is all that Timmy can think of at the moment, he hereinafter vows to accomplish all further tasks he sets for himself to accomplish in the coming future.

I’m serious.

Hey, guess what (no punctuation goes here) We have a trailer for Allons-y! Amazing! It was edited in iMovie, so it’s not up to my regular standards (ha, standards), and it lacks epic music, but I still sorta like it.

My hair looks like crap, though.

I may add a high quality download or put this on Vimeo or something, but until then…

Numerous Things of Possible Interest

Mitchell told me to put that on here. It’s the poster for the upcoming epic, “Morgan,” a fictional film about a guy named, you guessed it, Frank. No, wait, his name is Morgan. Right. Okay.Honestly, I don’t know if that’s right–I mean to say, I know next to nothing about the production. Anyhoo, I am fully expecting it to be amazing. While it is not, indeed, a St. Timmy Production, I’d even be willing to host it on this website.

But then again, I’m sure none of the Morganists would want me to do that, so I may not.

Just the slightest bit of pimpelage, for ya.

Next up on the docket is that POTOR is being delayed in the slightest bit, because apparently, according to Sir Einolfenstein, my script is crap….and he still hasn’t done that revision of his. So, on that note, allow me to repeat: send your emails, pestering Davis to complete his revision, to Partridge@sttimmypro.com.

No, seriously, start pestering Partridge@sttimmypro.com. I dare you. Twice. We can call it a double dare, of sorts.

Thirdly,  this should have gone right after the pimping of Morgan: coming June 5th is the next St. Timmy Production after the Alterum Uno (unless–well, I don’t want to have any ‘unless’es): Allons Y. Technically “Humans” was the last St. Timmy Production after the Alterum Uno, but I don’t like humans, so…

Allons Y is an amazing film. Seriously. You can wait for more details until the trailer comes out, but I’m just saying: wait for it and wait to be amazed.

Fourthly, Allons Y, Alonso.

The POTOR Auditions

WERE AMAZING.

Seriously.

So, out of the grand three people that I was expecting, a fantastic 25 people showed up. Twenty-three thirds, man. That’s a lot more than I thought. Seriously.

And they were all fairly good too, which was also, admittedly, unexpected.

The last shock of the day requires the slightest bit of explanation. You see, when we were working on the script for POTOR (in the back of Ms. Schumann’s class, funnily enough), we realized that there was going to be a distinct lack of females that would want to be in our little, stupid film (which happens to be neither little nor stupid, thank you very much). Therefore, we made a conscious choice to write in relatively few roles for females.

Sixteen out of the twenty-five, by the way, were, in fact, female. It was crazy.

Anyway, I’m compiling a thing of everyone and their stuff.. it’s awesome.

Really.
