Gettin on the Bandwagon

I was reading a post on /x/ about some guy who used to work for the NYC transit system who aparently witnessed "Mole People" in some of the abandoned subway systems in New York. I read parts of the story and realized that I could sort of take some of the elements and make a Blair Witch/Paranormal Activity styled horror movie.

The premise of my idea would be like this. A subway worker finds a camera in an empty hallway near one of the oldest lines of the NYC system. He watches the video which depicts the journey of a couple of kids who went out looking for these Molemen. Well, glory be, they found the Molemen, and Glory be, the Molemen aren't very kind, savages if you will, the details are all really blurry. So this Subway worker gets a team together to go look for it, as it turns out some people in the Subway industry don't want tog et police and tabloids involved because they think that having "Molemen" in the transit system secretly killing people could possibly cause some panic. So, the top officials demand that they bring a small crew to investigate. So they do, group tension and all that great stuff, but curiousity gets them in situitions that cause them to give up hope after awhile, they start to think the camera is jsut a prank so that people could start specualting about the stupid idea of "Molemen". The main guy who found the camera has a heightened sense of curiousity, and he goes out alone. He finds an old map off one of the oldest workers in the system and starts tearing down areas that he though were abandoned and destroye.d He finds unthinkable things, then he stumbles upon the "Molemen" palace. Something similiar to what OLD New York looked like in Futurama. Well, mister I'm so fucknig curious get's himself captured and he finds the kids aswell. Some of them just so happen to be dead. Yea typical, but hey, we need death. But the "Molemen" turn out to be fucking crazy lunatics who resent the roles of everyday society and created a secret society of their own in this underworld. to say the least, they're fucking retarded. So somehow the camera guy escapes in an epic fashion, gets out of the tunnels, and gets to the ground level.

It ends with him sending the tape to every newspaper in the city. Have it end on that.

I know it all sounds cliche. But I think there is a way to make such a movie enjoyable and feel real. That story to me felt very real, the narrative would be simple. And the thing lacking in the film industry are films about possible REAL things and exploring them. Paranormal Activity was a stupid film and only stupid people thought it was great. Blair Witch in my opinion was amazing because of how it emoted fear, it felt real, and when I first seen it I thought it was real. It made me hate camping to such an unbelievable degree. But the thing that made it real was exploring an uknown world and meeting uknown beasts. Molemen are legends of folklore, but they're reasonable folklore tales because it's eeasy to understand why someone would live underground, and it's easy to find a place to do it in the scattered tunnels of the subway system.

But hey, My ideas have failed before. This might just be another thing i hang on the shelf for myself to think about.

The Wandering Jew

I've decided to right a novel. It's about the Wandering Jew mentioned in Christian folklore.

Here is a rough synopsis I wrote out in an msn conversation. I'm definetly going to work in this more. Since it is folk-lore, I can make up some crazy shit for it.


He aparently spat on jesus during the crucifix and was hexxed to wander the earth until the second coming of christ.
I plan to write it as if I were him. I'd be traveling, not working but stealing, and I am unable to die because of my hex. I do not age. But no matter who I try and love, i know that they will die in my existance and I will have to suffer.
So I go through life, living off of nature. traveling, looking for a way to spend my time tell christ comes back to clusterfuck the earth. But while on my journey I become deeply religious by seeing various events. I turn into a preacher, and then I travel the world preeching, and then people try to kill me. They fail, and my secret gets out that I'm the hexxed jew.
I go into Exile, and wait, praising jesus. i watch as sociery goes into a downfall, people stop caring about religion, they think death is inevitable and that heaven doesn't exist. In the end I'm the only one left to believe in Jesus. and when he comes back. He forgives me.

After School

Time to put the plan out on paper!

So, things have changed from my original plan which I laid out before christmas. The plan was to mvoe in with Alex after School and start working on scripts and such. But things have changed and stuff has become complicated.

So new plan after Graduation-Move back to G.P to chill and live off free rent for 2 months and finish 2 scripts.(Hopefully I'll have The Getaway Driver done by then.. Sigh) Then move back to Vancouver. Get full time job working something exciting(NOT COOKING) and make decent money(15$ an hour?). Work for a year and save up enough to go to holywood for a month in order to do some mass pitching. Hopefully have 6 feature scripts done by then. I'd fucking love to be a Cab Driver or have some kind of position where I drive a bunch. i love traveling, even if it a couple blocks.

And this vacation is also too go to 2 graduations on my beloved cousins. And to see my cat. and to paint copious amounts of trains. And to see the mother, the brother, and all the old friends.

Other updates on the old life of Cody Bisson-I'm coommited to painting again. It makes me happy and I enjoy being happy. Unfortunatly I think I have Bed bugs. Which blows menanites.
