Press Release
30th July 34 AM
A film festival in Piemon?

Here at GMPTV, we have managed to obtain some documents that show a plan and designs to build two new theatres/music arenas in Piemon - One called the "Piemon Arena" and another called the "Silly Walks Amphitheatre" (probably sponsored by the "Ministry of Silly Walks" with their £348,000,000 a year budget).
This is good news for Piemon as the old Moppuppet Theatre is 34 years old, and it still hasn't been renovated.

On the documents there are sections that say “Future Uses”, and the first one, for both of them, are the words "Film Festival" next to the date "May, 37 AM". Does this mean there could be a Film Festival in Piemon?

Edward Ross OBE sounds very interested in this prospect. "I would love to be part of this, and show off my films to the rest of the world in a relaxed environment. Maybe there could be some awards that could be presented as well!"

As soon as we receive more information, we shall publish it here.

Earlier this morning, I was lucky enough to ask a question to Monty Python, who seems to be the organiser/head coach of everything at the moment, about the upcoming Piemon International Film Festival, in a press conference.

Senoj: What are you going to do if we don't get enough entries?

Python: Well, if we continue to have the current amount of three films, from ourselves, Qazox and Spruitland then we will only be able to present a low amount of FAME Awards, and one there will be a lack of competition and low tension in the competition, two, some awards may have to be withdrawn and three, the festival will not be the big cultural event that Sir Edward Ross would have hoped for, therefore we would be dishonouring his name and how much passion he has put into this project before he passed away last year. So, in short, we do need more films!

If you want to have a closer look at the Piemon International Film Festival, find out about it or the other films nominated, or hopefully, as Monty Python said, nominate some films look at this thread. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=511197)

REVIEW DU FILMS

"Hi and welcome to Review Du Films, Qazox' only show devoted to cinema. I'm your host Roger Driscoll. The film we are going to review today is The Night Santa Went Crazy, directed by Brian Horowitz and starring Kyle Torver and Drew Sandler. Let's take a look...

(shows 2 minute clip from the flim, a part where Dr. Juila Guila first meets Santa..)

I hated this movie, and I'll tell you why right after this commercial break.

(Ironic Commercial for "The Night Santa Went Crazy")

Welcome back, Now as for the reasons I hated The Night Santa Went Crazy. First of all who is really gonna believe that Santa Claus met Jack the Ripper in Victorian London? I sure didn't, but saw from a mile away, that "Jack" was going to kill Mrs. Claus, while Santa was delivering toys. Second of all, the special effects. They were too much for a film of this genre. Yes it was nice to see individual snowfalkes falling at the "North Pole" and Victorian London was re-created to the last detail, excepting the smell, thank Ox for that. But in a drama that is trying to be serious, as this one failed to be, Special effects just distract from the plot. As for the plot, the plot was as thin as a hobo's underwear, and stunk just as bad. Santa waits 30 years before seeing.. well I don't wanna completely ruin it for those of you stupid enough to spend 8 Zaqs on this, something that sets him off and he begins to kill people?? Please. I personally think Mr. Horowitz paid off most of the voters for both the Golden Calf and the Goran (ooc: Qazox's versions of the Golden Globes and Oscars respectively). The special effects were well done, and like my well done steak it had little sizzle. I give this film a 5 out of 10.

"BazFilm, the channel dedicated to the showing of the latest Bazalonian and international films brings you tonight a special Piemon International Film Festival edition of Movies@Home withe Johanna and Ed."

...

Johanna: "Welcome to Movies@Home and our special Piemon International Film Festival Edition, Tonight we'll look at one of the Bazalonian films and 2 foreign films. Extinction, directed by Andrew Trendwood, Urchins, directed by Mue-No from Az-Cz and The Night Santa Went Crazy, directed by Brian Horowitz, from Qazox

Ed: "A certainly surprising list of entrants from nations such as The Great Monty Python, the hosts of this event and an interesting film from Spruitland. Which may very well not make it to Bazalonian shores, with concerns being raised to the Office of Film and Litarature Classification about pedophilia, but that is for another time. So let's get on with the first of our films. Extinction."

Johanna: "Extinction, a thriller story about the survival of the Human race, set in a futuristic setting where the Bazalonian Space Federation has constructed an interstellar spaceship, the BSFS Trivali. However an unknown disaster, only known as the Reckoning had totally decimated the entire planet leaving no one alive. The only survivors, aboard the BSFS Trviali, left the barren earth behind and started eeking ot a living in a galaxy where people where just trying to survive."

Ed: "And that's all in the first 10 minutes, Strange occurances happen crew turn up dead for no apparent reason. It soon becomes clear that someone or something is trying to finish the unfinished work of The Reckoning and make humanity extinct. This will take everyone to work together to resolve the problem, but can indeed everyone be trusted?"

Johanna: "I found this a wonderful film, I was at first very sceptical at the choice of Wolfgang Omozer for this part, as he infact was well known for the Box office comedy smash 'The Prop', but Wolfgang has shown that he is a man of indeed many talents and despite him taking a secondary role to the main character, the captain of the ship, Wolfgang still managed to steal the scene with appropriat yet grim humour. I still think they should have gone into more detail about The Reckoning exactly what it was but that may have just dragged the pace of the movie down. It was very well paced and the visuals where stunning.

Ed:" I disagree, they could have had more without bogging it down much , but then I suppose is what are the main things that need to be said and particularily if it was infact some sort of divine retribution, which at some of the characters beleive. But yes, a very well directed and put together movie. The pace was fast and just what the audience needed. I'm going to give this 4 stars."

Johanna: "You were way to critical there it hit all the right buttons for me on the Sci-fi AND Thriller levels both aspects where crucial to the development of the story and plot and I'm having a hard time working out if it is a thriller in a sci-fi setting or a Sci-fi flick with a thriller plot. I'm giving this 4 and a half Stars."

Ed: "And now, onto Urchins, two Gnomish friends from Az-cz travel top a fictional nation known as Mercantile Firmanent. A nation where the only government intrest is shown to the corporations, where the rich are extremely wealthy and the poor are extremely poor, living as Urchins on the street."

Johanna: "The two gnomes,Aid-Bob and Fg-Tp, are appalled by this and soon get involved despite Fg-Tp attempts at convincing Aid-Bob that it is not their business. However the two of them do start an urprising of these Urchins, who are basically a slaves in their jobs to replace the appallingly wicked Mercantile Firmanent society with one that looks after even the ones that are down trodden. Add in a love story and you've got a movie.

Ed: A warning though, this movie contains full frontal nudity, explicit sex scenes and violence and Rated R+18. This is one that plucks at the heart strings and the R+18 certainly makes it not for all, though the plot is well thought out, intriging and draws you in. I give it 4.

Johanna: Aren't you glad the Bazalonian police don't act like that *chuckle* There's not much more to say personally I was repulsed but if it weren't for the sex scenes and the nudity this would have made a perfect movie and from what I know of Az-cz culture this would not raise any eyebrows over there. I also give it 4.

Ed: "Okay, The production team has just told me that The Spruitlandish film "The Lord of the Twins", being up for contention for a number of nominations has infact been refused classification. I have to admit I did expect that.

Johanna: Yeah, me too, and now finally onto, The Night Santa Went Crazy from Qazox, Santa Clause having a nervous breakdown on Christmas eve checks himself into a mental institution and it's upto Dr Julia Guila, a psychiatrist, with her controversial tool, the Memory Holographic Projector, which take the patients memory and displays it as a Holographic projected takes us on a journey theroughout Santa's life time all the time building up and setting the scene for the straw that proverbially broke the camel's back. Santa Clause is never going to be the same again."

Ed:"In this film we get to see some gritty, and frankly rather disturbing memories, the R+18 rating for this movie is well diserved and it is not recommended for those with quesy stomachs. I found it hard to sit through this just because of the shear gore, which is not my thing, if you want to know how Santa could get a psychotic break then this is the film for you."

Johanna: "This isn't my sort of thing either but, if you like extreme gore then this is the movie for you however the Dramatic elements may just not not appeal to Horror fans. Though I just may be as wrong as you can get. I'll give this three stars, not my thing but a well put together and acted movie.

Ed: "I'll give it 4, it may not be my thing but the dramatic elements that where in there I grasped fairly easily and they did mesh with the horror elements well. For what it is a the actors have done fairly well. I give it 2.5 stars."

Johanna: "Well that is all that we have time for now. We look forward to seeing you next time when we look at another horror from QuakMyBush, A movie from the host nation of the P I F F and of a 2nd Bazalonian entrany. Goodnight from me."

Ed: And Goodnight as well. See you next time when you get Movies@Home."

Following the Bazalonian office of Something or Other's decision to boycot the Spruitland hit movie Lord of the Twins, on suspicion of pedophilia, reactions of the people involved with the making of LOTT were, understandably, of a somewhat bemused nature.

“Pedowhat?” was lead actress Sherri Love’s first response. “That’s just silly. This movie isn’t about collecting stamps.”

After a brief conversation with her agent, Miss Love’s opinion became even more outspoken.

“You’ve got to be <bleep>ing kidding me! That’s the most ludicrous thing I’ve ever heard in my twelve years in this business! I’m 19, and I have the library card to prove it!

“Tell me, would my boobs look like this if I wasn’t an adult? Would I… hang on… would I have hair growing here if I wasn’t an adult? Yeah, that’s right, zoom in for the close up, Mr. DeMille. There’s your <bleep>ing proof!”

Producer, director, writer and lead actor Richard Bigg had a much more pragmatic response to the Bazalonian criticism.

“Any sort of attention is good for the movie,” Bigg said, smiling at the dollar signs buzzing around his head. “This sort of controversy, even the type based on absolute rubbish, is a producer’s wet dream.”

“As an artist, it’s a mixed feeling, of course. It’s slightly disturbing that there are people out there, even if it’s a tiny minority in an undeveloped part of the world, that read such deviant things in my movie. On the other hand, that’s the beauty of art. Every viewer can interpret it in his own way, in a way that’s close to his own heart.

“On a totally unrelated note, I’m already hard at work on my next project. It’s about a man who lives in a completely fictitious country named Banalozia, and who has spent most of his life in an insane asylum because he once accidentally saw a woman’s nipple. When he finally gets released, there’s been a coup, Banalozia has become a nation of nudists, and he’ll have to totally re-evaluate all his silly beliefs and ideals. It’ll be a comedy.”

After doing further reasearch confirming the ages of all the 'actors' in the film the Office of Film and Literature Classification has infact given Lord of the Twin's Classification.

X+18, a classification reserved for Pornographic material, which has stricter Identification checking requirements, requirement for there to be in a controlled environment where minors can not access, and these can only be sold at a specifically licensed Venue.

Despite the attention due to the refusal of the OFLC to previously classify still only a relatively few copies have indeed come into Bazalonia.

"Today, at 10:30am, Monty Python announced two new awards for the Piemon International Film Festival- the "Jury Prize" and the "Nation's Choice Award""

"The "Jury Prize" is an award that the jury decide as thier favourite film. It is unconfirmed wether the will be one overall "Jury Prize", or one from each Jury Member."

"The "Nation's Choice Award" is an award that all nations across the world can vote for. A shortlist shall be made, but with no nominations, and nations can vote for it. (OOC: When the poll to decide the dates close, on a new thread will open later on and nations can come and post their decision on what is their nation's favourite film. No nation may vote for a film submitted from thier own country."

This is Terry Eselec, reporting for GMPTV News

Two commentators of a TV program saw the movies and are sharing their views about the three Cafundéu films. Their names are Vladmir Cerrado and Marina Telão.

HOST – Let’s start with the first movie, Marina, “The Detective”. You saw it, me too. What do you think about it?

MARINA – It’s basically an action film, with explosions, deaths, chases and everything that we see in a normal action film. The plot isn’t excellent, but it’s better than the ones of most of the action films.

HOST – Let’s talk about the characters and actors now, Vladmir. Did you like them?

VLADMIR – I’ll talk first about Ivan Rassel, who is played by Grandus. I liked this character very much, he has a very interesting story, was famous but lost his fame and wants to recover it, and we can’t consider him a good or a bad character, and Grandus played him very well. Letícia is also interesting, but I wouldn’t give so much importance to her. The magician is the one that I liked most, he is so cynical and selfish that you really hate him. Czics made a really good work.

HOST – And what about the effects and the music, Vladmir?

VLADMIR – I couldn’t really hear the music very well, because of all the action. But the theme song, “Juiz Implacável”, is nice in my point of view. It puts more information about Rassel, and it’s a good song outside the movie too.

HOST – The end of the film surprised you, Marina?

MARINA – Not at all. I could expect it. But the changes that happen during the film can surprise.

HOST – Well, now let’s go to the second film, “The Lonely Millionaire”. What are you thoughts about this one, Marina?

MARINA – This one is beautiful, I liked it very much. It isn’t only a simple romance movie that shows only a relationship. In this film we can see too the routine of the big corporations and the greed that many people of our country have. The scenes were well made and the change that happen in Mark’s life after Carla appears is visible. It also shows many things of our culture and traditions, so the foreigners can learn many things in this film, too.

HOST – Let’s go to the second question. Vladmir, what about the actors and characters?

VLADMIR – Mark Manei could even be divided in two characters. Before going to a more calm city to rest, he was very worried about money, only spent his time working and even treated badly his employees and friends, trying to help his company. After he met Carla and decided to marry her, he passed by a transformation. He became more gentle, worried with the people and his work and the company and the money weren’t the most important things, although he continued working. He decided to enjoy the life. Alamedas did a wonderful job with his character, as he was able to show this changes, and this is very difficult. After this film, I respect Alamedas more. Carla isn’t a very good character, she is a simple woman who doesn’t want to get involved in the world of the big companies, nothing really interesting. I liked Mr. Danúbio too, but I don’t have many things to say about him. But Jéssica is wonderful, a very selfish person that only wants money and tries to get the company of Mark after he leaves her. But we can see in the film that she wants Mark too, not only his money. Bárbara, the actress, really made the best work of her career, as she played a difficult and complex character.

HOST – Wow, lots of things to say, eh? And the effects and music, they were good?

VLADMIR – The Lonely Millionaire isn’t a movie with incredible special effects, as it concentrates more in the dialogues and in the history. About the music, it is good, mainly the background music. The songs weren’t so impressive.

HOST – Did you have something to comment about the end of the movie, Marina?

MARINA – Yes. The end of the movie surprised me. Some things were easy to expect, but others no one was expecting. The film in general is very good, and the end reinforce its quality.

HOST – Now let’s go to the last film, an animated movie. Irritating Traveler. Marina?

MARINA – Very fun. When I saw the start of the movie I wasn’t expecting something very good. But, after I saw all the confusions that happened in it, I laughed a lot. It’s incredible and very creative, as the jokes and tricks are very original. The characters are so well made, you can even believe that they are real. I liked it.

HOST – We all know that the characters aren’t real, but what do you think about them, Vladmir?

VLADMIR – As it is a film to reunite the family and make them have some fun, not all the characters have a good history. I would say that only Zezinho and Mr. Coitado have one. Zezinho is a rude boy who just wants to have fun, but makes wicked jokes. Mr. Coitado is a poor man who just wants to have a good holiday, but has the bad luck to meet Zezinho.

HOST – Music and effects?

VLADMIR – As it is a musical, you could already expect lots of music. And most of them are nice and help to make the movie more understandable, as they illustrate every scene. I liked the songs. Guerre de Plaisanteries is surely the most remarkable one, as it is from the most important scene of the movie, but there are lots of other good songs. About effects, I will comment about the quality of the animations. As they had a enormous budget, the animations were very good and realistic, and I have nothing more to add.

HOST – And the end, Marina?

MARINA – Previsible. Everyone could expect this, and the end didn’t surprise anyone. But the movie completed its objective that was to give fun to the family, so I have nothing to complain.

HOST – Well, that’s all. Thanks for coming to my program, Vladmir and Marina. And thanks for the viewers. Good night.

an Alex Thorton Film

Michale Allenger Anna Clark Marah Gonzallas Amellia Rogers
Gary Jennings Liza Richards Arna Williams Jacob Hammer

Casting by: Debra Jennings C.S.K.Edited by: Mark Issac E.S.E.

Music by: Jim Brinkmann Hanna Appa and Taji Ikari

Exectutive Producers: Alex Throton Sofia Kamrill Takashi Lucas

Screenplay by Alex Throton and Sofia Kamrill[

Produced by: Anna Montgomery, Alex Throrton

Directed by Alex Throrton

AP-Director/Writer/Producer Alex Throrton and the rest of the crew of Black Hawk Films Ltd. May purposefully not attend the Piemon International Film Festival, due to the fact ticket funds are being transfered to Alleanea for post-war recovery. Alex Thoroton provided us with a statement:
"Alleanea's connections to a company (LifeWyze Corp) that not only sells dangerous weapons of mass destruction, so openly on the world market, and clearly monopolizes the market and cares nothing of the people they harm, to me is highly irresponsible, immoral, and nothing I want to have anything to do with."

Alex Throrton's documentry (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=493457) Irvine & Me a critcal expose and commentary, could very much be the reason behind his decision. An employee at Black Hawk Films Ltd, had stated Alex felt very strongly against the actions of LifeWyze, and felt the Government of Alleana was far untrustworthy.

Throrton has not called for a full out boycott. Some are speculating he may crash the cerimonies but BlackHawk Film told us that was unlikely.

As for Co-writer and Producer of The Hunted Sofia Kamrill she was unavaliable for comment

After Alex Throton's comments, Monty Python released a statement:

"We have now stopped all donations to Allanea, following a report that was created by the Forgien Minister, Eric Praline, that uncovered strong evidence to show that the company LifeWyze is producing and selling Weapons of Mass Destruction, under the Allanean government who seem to be doing nothing about it. Allanea seem to be a lying company, and unless they make clear that our money is not going to WMDs, all donations will be stopped. TGMP does not want to start another war. Thank you."

OOC: As you may have noticed, the "Nation's Choice Award" poll has opened, and it will stay open until 6th January, here in the RP Thread. Sorry if your nation's film was not accepted, but there were only 10 places.

IC: In "Nation's Choice Award" you can vote for any film, other than one submitted from your own country. You will all be able to see the results, but they will be officially announced during the FAME Awards. Good Luck!

Johanna: "and now to a special treat, in with the Studio with have Trendwood and Florida Hampton, directors for all three Bazalonian films nominated for the Piemon International Film Festival."

Ed: "Welcome to Movies@Home."

Andrew & Florida: "Thank you, Ed and Johanna."

Ed:"Andrew we'll start with you, Extinction, which has been put up for the Nations Choice award, The Prop and Extinction are so different movies and yet you have managed to make both of them feel like as they are an Andrew Trendwood production. How did you do this."

Andrew: "I had great relationships with the script writers, particularily Wolfgang Omozer who was not only in both Extinction and The Prop but also help co-write it with Lucas Jamieson but also Edgar Lei and Racheal Blomington that wrote Extinction, It was a truely collaborative affair and we worked together and ended up with something that just seemed right."

Johanna: "And Florida, A women directing an Action movie, how did you find it?"

Florida: "Great, Johanna, I enjoyed doing the action elements immensley, also finding traditional action movies they where just too... 1 diimensional, guy with a rather flimsey excuse and surviving all sorts of things one after the other. However Just another day at the office is something entirely different, and with the three sides after the briefcase, it adds much more to the plot and gives a chance for Mary Knotoss to really get into her character and givfe her the full 3 dimensions."

Ed: "The nation choice movies, what do you think?"

Andrew: "Oh, there are some great movies out there, I wish The Prop was there but but there are only so many places."

Florida: "I think the best out there, ignoring Extinction of course, would be Forgetting Hope. The main character there has a real dilemma that she has to face and the movie portays that really well."

Johanna: "One last question, how do you think that your films will do?"

Andrew: "I have no idea, It's up in the hand of the judges The Prop and Extinction are good fillms and they have a good chance of walking away with something at least."

Florida: "No Idea, I've done what I can to make my movie the best I can and now it is all up to the judges hopefully I can get something."

Ed: "Thank you Andrew and Florida, It's been a great pleasure to talk with you tonight. And I wish you both all the best in the upcomging festival"

PRESENTER: Welcome to PiemoVTV, the show were you get the best news, gossip and interviews about the festival before ANYONE ELSE! Today, we have an interview with Rob Geldorf, who helped organise the event and the ticket sales for the festival. So, Rob, who's coming?

ROB: What festival?

PRESENTER: You know...the Piemon International Film Festival.

(Long pause)

PRESENTER: You helped organise it...?

ROB: Oh, that one. We've got government officials, directors, actors, royal families, students...

PRESENTER: Any big names?

(pause)

ROB: There's Briareus Cooper!

(long pause)

PRESENTER: Well, thanks for coming in today Rob. You heard it here first folks- there are no famous people coming to the festival!

"Nation's Choice Award" voting closes on the 6th January at 4:21pm (GMT) and it will be one of the first awards announced.

(OOC: People arriving please continue from this thread, if you want. You can do anything you want, but don't kill anyone from TGMP, or rig or cancel the festival)


Arriving

Monty drove up to Piemon, ready to greet anyone coming to the festival, in his Knight X100 Turbo Convertible, and he was hoping that the woman at the barrier would let him pass without confiscating his car.

"Good Morning, Sir" she smiled. "You do know that cars are forbidden in Piemon throughout this event, don't you?"

"Good Morning, Madam" Monty replied. "You do know that I can have you killed, don't you?", producing a bread knife out of his pocket.

"You do know I can have you killed, sir?", she snapped back, taking the Semi-Automatic Machine Gun out of her patrol box. "Now, I suggest, sir, that you get into something more classy."

She clicked her fingers, and a black limousine came into view, the chauffeur opening a back door signalling to Monty to get him into it.

"This is great! Look after my car, if you don't mind", throwing her the keys, "Thank you."

"No, thank you, Mr Python!" she exclaimed, before driving into the distance in her new Knight X100 Turbo Convertible.

"Great..." Monty said sarcasticly to himself. He had to reach the "Lumberjack Lodge" in time to greet the other attendees of the festival and it would take well over an hour in the traffic.

"DRIVE!" he yelled at the chauffeur "Get to Lumberjack Lodge!"

"Welcome Mr. Throton, and Mrs. Thorton, your room is all prepared for you."

"Thank you. The remainder of our family, and my a few of my partners will be arriving later. Are their rooms held for them."

"Absolutley sir. Enjoy your stay and good luck in the Awards."

"Thank you."

"This is a really nice place." Molly said.

"It is."

"Hey Alex Throton, can I have your autograph?"

"Sure."

Johanna: "Here we are Ed, standing outside Lumberjack Lodge for one final interview before the Piemon International Film Festival. The atmosphere is great and Bazalonia does not just have one good movie in the mix but three."

Ed: "However this time we won't be interviewing the directors, we will be interviewing Wolfgang Omozer, playing the staring role, Hector Davidson and helped write the Screenplay for The Prop and best supporting Actor for Extinction for his portral of XO Trevor Lents."

Johanna: "Welcome Wolfgang."

Wolfgang: "Thank you Johanna, Ed."

Ed: "Are the nerves any different this time around compared to the Montreal Foreign Film Festival?"

Wolfgang: "The nerves are still creating butterflies in my stomach, This time I've got 2 movies to worry about with Extinction and The Prop, The Prop was a huge success in Bazalonia and has enjoyed success internationally too, the only question is. What do the judges think."

Johanna: "Well, for unknown reasons we never got to know the opinions of the Judges in Montreal, so that is very understandable. What I want to know however, is The XO in Extinction and Hector Davidson from The Prop, are entirely different characters. Why did you choose them?"

Wolfgang: "Well, Hector Davidson was written to be my part from the begining and so it was a no brainer for me to take that role. But I also thought I wanted a more serious role. Extinction had a great screenplay written by Edgar Lei and Racheal Blomington and with Andrew Trendwood directing it, well, I knew it would be quality. In addition the part itself called out for the usage of some of my comedy skills, so in the end it just seemed to be the perfect fit."

Ed: "Well, we won't hold you any further as you've still got to check in here at the Lumberjack Hotel. Thank you and Goodnight."

Wolfgang: "Thank you Ed, Johanna. I'm sure I'll see you later.

Johanna: "And that is all from us tonight, See you next time when you watch Movies@Home."

A beep was heard in the limo, and Monty knew this couldn't be good news.

"Yeah, what?"

"Mr Python?"

"Yeah, it's me, what is it?"

"The Throtons have just arrived."

"Where?"

"At the Lumberjack Lodge."

"Crap...what room did you give to them?"

"Oh, just the Rainforest Suite"

"The Rainforest Suite! You know that's my suite! Where will I sleep now?"

"Well...er...you can choose ethier the Luxury Class Basement Room, or the...er...Luxury Class Bathroom Room."

"Is that just the basement or the bathroom?"

"Come on, Mr Python, what kind of idiot do you take me for?"

"Are they?"

"Yeah."

"OK...I'lll have the basement room then please."

"I'll reserve the room for you. When will you be here?"

*long pause*

"Hello? Mr Python? Are you there?"

"And now on Lights! Camera! Critics! We have an exclusive interview with Hylix of Gainom, relaxing at the Lumberjack Lodge waiting for the opening ceremony."


In a three times the speed of normal play it shows Hylix entering in a buisness suit with a green tie, with a 50/50 mix of Bodyguards and scantily-clad women. Then it shows the bodyguard shooing away a man dressed as a woman who went upto him. Then it finally resumes normally as it shows him laying on his bed with his suit and tie off(blue shirt on) surrounded now with even less covered(but not nude) women.


"So.. Uh... I'm Dave Placewood and I'm here to uh, interview you. I'm not interrupting anything am I?" Asked the interviewer. He was a tall man with short black hair, with a green jumper on, he was standing at the side of Hylix bed.


"No, no, I'm not doing anything right now." Said Hylix. "Well, apart from talking to you I mean."


"Right. Well, not long now untill the ceremony." Said Placewood.


"Nope, not at all, I'm very excited about it, and I hope Draklyn, Jeffrey and I win a good lot of awards." Replied Hylix.


"How many?" Asked Placewood with a grin.


"Every one that we're in." Replied Hylix with a smirk.


"So, you're like... Well, pretty much the first famous Xanthonian, how does it feel?" Asked Placewood.


"Y'know, sometimes it's like I forget my roots. Which is a shame really as I still enjoyed my way of life before a nation with better technology took over ours." Said Hylix "Being famous is great, getting your own aircraft is great, all these bodyguards and lovely ladies are great but sometimes there's just nothing more satisfying that catching a hare in a trap you set yourself."


"That's deep." Said Placewood.


Hylix nodded.


"So, considering you'll only had what? Four or five years to adjust, you're very fluent at English." Said Placewood.


"Thank you, that was the biggest stumbling block when I wanted to become a thespian, countless sleepless nights I've spent perfecting my english." Replied Hylix.


"So, you haven't had any work - I mean acting work aside from countless commercials since Draklyn. Is there anything in the pipeline?" Asked Placewood.


"Well, yeah, I want to get back into it really. Lately I've just been taking commercials and endorsements and stuff to earn money for a charity that I run to help cure Alzheimers, that's what my Grandad had and made things very difficult." Said Hylix. "But as for acting, Jeffrey Breeze has a movie coming so..."


"Wait a minute, are you telling me that...?" Began Placewood but he stopped before he said it.


"Well, I had a talk with Jeffrey and the producers about it and - well they said they'd let me say it. Exclusively on Lights! Camera! Critics! I, Hylix of Gainom, will be playing the lead in Jeffrey Breeze's upcoming movie "New Destructia"." Said Hylix.


"Wow! That's fantastic news!" Exclaimed Placewood, more thrilled about the news as it was exclusive on his TV show.


"Yep, it's about New Propagandia seventy years into the future where spacestations and orbital weapons exist and the world is on the brink of armageddon as a result of a massive glbal civil war." Explained Hylix.


"Wow! That's very impressive" Replied Placewood. "Well, that's about all we have time for, thank you for giving us the chance to interview you and telling us the news."


"No problem." Replied Hylix.


"Ok then, I'll see you. At the ceremony, now back to Quintus at the studio."

"Why am I here?"

(over view of room, focusing on computer)

"He's a cross breed."

(zoom in on computer with 'hacking' program running)

"What's life all about?"

(zoom out to reveal human browsing computer --- leads to man kicking door down)

"Run!"

(man using 'karate/fantasy moves' on guard)

TEXT: When an outcast knows everything...

(on a planet)

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a *beep*."

TEXT:You can't keep him in one place.

(on planet with sullivan and father)

"What are you guarding?"

"Eggs."

(pan out of planet with achievers on)

"What eggs?"

"Those eggs."

Text and Voice Over: Only at the Piemon International Film Festival.

Vrrrrrooooom!

Along the highway into Piemon City come hundreds of Bears, mostly on motorbikes but a few (from the film crew, and the band that played the soundtrack) riding in vehicles of other types instead. The bikers are travelling grouped into their separate clubs, to reduce the chance of conflicts along the way: about half of them are from the actual Bad News Bears, but the rest of the country's main clubs are represented too... Over there are a bunch of the Big Bad Bears, who are mostly of Grizzly ancestry, mounted on customised quad bikes; now here comes a group from the Hells' Teddies, the oldest of these societies, although they're said to be taking the choice of their rivals as this film's subjects badly; and there are troops from ShadowBear's Slayers, the all-female Bear-faced Bitches gang, and Bruno's Bunch...

They reach the road by the Lumberjack Lodge, where the film-crew and band pull their vehicles into the parking lot, and then the bikers disperse around town in search of beer, barbeque, lodgings, and maybe a "friendly" brawl...

___________________________________________________________

(OOC: Yes, I do recall that you asked me to keep them under control, but they're Bears and bikers so just how much control do you think anybody can exercise over them... ;))

Press Conference Starts in 9 mins!

Media Conferernce

Monty walked into the room, followed by Mr Goldelf, strong applause, and drunken shouts of "Where's the beer?!" form the many bears in attendence . They were excited now, this was it, this was their moment. It was ready to open the film festival.

Hello, I am Monty Python, this is Rob Goldelf, and welcome to the Piemon International Film Festival. It is fantastic that we can have so many film personel here today, all in memory of Sir Edward Ross and all waiting to hear the shortlists for the FAME Awards.
First are there any questions from any audience members before we start announcing shortlists?

(OOC: I'll wait up to 10 mins before I move on, if no-one posts)

"Welcome back to Lights! Camera! Critics!" Greeted Quintus Maximus. "Now, Draklyn was so popular and lasted in cinemas so long that they just kept fueling the fire with new adverts. Let's have a look at one of the best."


---------


"You want to live Lykih?"


Subtitles came up as they spoke as it was in Xanthonian.


"... Yes."


Images on Killpeak Mountain are shown.


"Then you must venture through the Senedri forest."


It shows Lykih and Zenitrix walking through the forest when a throwing axe flew past them, narrowly missing Zenitrix. Then them being watched by the Owl with a Woman's head.


"Around the deepest snow."


It shows Lykih and Zenitrix getting attacked by a gargantuan wolf.


"To Killpeak. And there you must kill... The Draklyn!"


The screen bursts in flames and quickly changing images of Lykih and Zenitrix on their adventure are shown.


"DRAKLYN."

They were just doing the press conference when suddenly..


"Hi-ho silver! Away!"


Pirates crashed through the windows and took the place hostage. It was going well as the Bears fended them off when suddenly the Bears joined forces with the Pirates. Monty held his own when suddenly Abe Lincoln rode through on a horse and chopped off his head.


Meanwhile Hylix he been gored by a rhyno and Throton flattened by a hippo.


Jeffrey Breeze ran away but Abe Lincoln and the Monkeys with nets were catching up fast!


Then Jeffrey woke up, safe in the arena. "Hmm, I'll have to add that to my next film." he thought.

"Mr Breeze, thanks for joining us. Did you have a nice dream?"

Jeremy thought for a moment, but he then decided not to say anything. Pirates and Abe Lincon? People would think he was mad.

"Anyway, let's continue. The shortlists have been prepared. Lets choose one- Rob?"

Rob was standing next to a big, over the top ball picking machine, and he chose a ball.

Wow. Well done everyone. Let's go onto the next one...

PIEMON-The independent feature from Kurona Into the West hasn't snagged a lot of nominations at the Piemon Film Festival, as the lists are being finalized. Submitted for Foreign Langauge Picture, Score, Orignal Song, Actress and Supporting Actress and Lead, Actor, thus far hasn't snagged any of them except Supporting Actress Kyoko Hannajima. "I'm so happy," said Hannajima "To be nominated is such an honor." But critics are still wondering why that is the only nomination the film has snagged, leading to some cries of Homophobia. Director John Colbert doesn't think so. "I can't say why our film hasn't picked up a lot," said Colbert "But it doesn't matter to me. You don't make films to get awards, you make films to express something. I wanted to express what it's like for Kuronan's who chose a diffrent lifestyle. And even if I was nominated what diffrence would it make if I were to win or lose. I really don't think the film is a milestone in history, and I don't think it's going to change everybody's mind."

Colbert has stated he still wants to attend the festival regardless of whether or not his film gets any nominations. As for other cast and crew they are a bit dissapointed. "Finding work is hard," Said Composer and Song Writer Zoey Orimoto, "I was lucky to even snag this job. Being a winning or even nominated composer helps very much."

-Booooo!!!!!!Says a spectator.
-There are all the same!!!!!!!
3 second after,a tomato smashes at Monty's face.

This one says "Best Leading Actress". "We've done the men, now let's see the women:"

Elspeth Cameron for "Forgetting Hope"
Mary Knotoss for "Just Another Day at the Office"
Luciana Medorato for "The Detective"
Yuki Akira for "Yasahii Himura"
Saki Hannajima for "Into The West"

"Lots of title roles there...time for another one!"

After the last nominations,a lemon smashes at Rob's face.He cries due to the lemon's acid.

As the crowd get more and more restless, Monty stands up to say a few words.

"Choosing these nominees is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Praise if you choose the right person; death threats if you choose the wrong."

*Quiet Laughter*

"I choose the nominations through watching the films over and over again, looking the actor, listening to the music, seeing the plot. Each time, you have to ask yourself "Does that actor seem like he is that person?" and "Does the music make me cry, or does it make me smile?" (ooc: The quality of their argument is very important).

Who spent the most time working on the film (ooc: post)?

Is the film (ooc: post) good quality?

Does it make me want to see it again (ooc: turn it into a real life film)?

Please, if/when I host another festival, spend a lot more time on your entries to make them outstanding movies like the ones nominated.

Thank you. Anyway, while we're having a break (until 7:20 pm (GMT)) are there any questions audience members want to ask?"

After the last nominations,a lemon smashes at Rob's face.He cries due to the lemon's acid.

OOC: lol, but it's not the last nomination. We've still go Best Director, Best New Picture, and Best Picture lists to go.

"I have a question, were their any really tough ones that you came down to. Tough ones that it was hard to chose between?"

OOC: lol, but it's not the last nomination. We've still go Best Director, Best New Picture, and Best Picture lists to go.

-Ok,says the spectator who smashed the tomatoe and the lemon,you have three more oportunities.If you fail,:sniper: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :sniper: jajajaja!!!

"I have a question, were their any really tough ones that you came down to. Tough ones that it was hard to chose between?"

Monty sighed "Well, Rob was going to take this question but he now has lemon juice in his eyes". He stared in the direction of a crowd member from Edward City, who had lemon juice on his hands."
Anyway, I think most of them were hard to choose between, especially the Best Leading _____ and the Best _____ Picture FAME awards. But personally, I think the music ones are the hardest. So many different musical scores and each one of them represented a different thing. I swear I got a headache after listening to them all.

Monty,I'm Albert Mainzer,President of Edward City, I say to you that the stupid who throwed that lemon will be detained at the Edward City Airport just after landing.

-Ok,says the spectator who smashed the tomatoe and the lemon,you have three more oportunities.If you fail,:sniper: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :sniper: jajajaja!!!

"Sorry about the delay everyone, but I have something to take care of. Thank god for our security measures" Monty pressed a button on the table, causing a giant hand, attached to a crane, come out of the ceiling. The hand, operated by Mr Python, simply tickled the spectator, causing him to laugh and drop thier weapons that were taken care of by security. The hand handed (ooc: get it?) the spectator to the security, who said that "he wouldn't bother the conference again."

"Back to the shortlist- let's choose... Best New Picture."

Monty,I'm Albert Mainzer,President of Edward City, I say to you that the stupid who throwed that lemon will be detained at the Edward City Airport just after landing.

"It's alright, we've got him in our prisons. You can take him back to Edward City whenever you want." Monty told the Edward City President. Now, back to the shortlist...

Narrator: May 23, 2006. A small raft is picked up in the middle of the sea. Onboard is over a dozen people, all battered bruised and some of them near fatally shot. It becomes obvious to the Freighter these aren't ordinary shipwreck survivors. After getting them aboard and settling many of them down from states of shock, each of them weave tales of a horrofic events all occuring on one island."

Alex Thorton: (Director/Writer Producer The Hunted) Each of them told the captain virtually the same story, they were all persuede like Animals, with several people trying to kill them.

Narrator: What makes it even more shocking is, these are oridnary people having no extrodinary ties to anything at all.

David Eccles: (INTERPOL Agent) Usually a mass killing like this is very systematic, genocide by governments, or in these people's case they would all be Government agents all tricked and targeted for killing. But these were day to day people, a taxidermist, a cop, CPA, just oridnary people.

Narrator: After being checked into the hospital, INTERPOL get's involved, questioning all one by one, before comming to the conclusion of just what happend.

Sofia Kamrill: (Co-writer/Producer of The Hunted) It was all a game. A game for thrilles of the hunters, at the expense of innocent people.

Narrator: INTERPOL files a Red Notice of Jason Hart and Maria Santiago, the only known living hunters. Finally after a large manhunt, Interpol apprehends them both and charges them with International Crimes. Flash forward to Agust 2006. Black Hawk Films Ltd. And Kamrill Pictures Team up to tell the world of what happend in Paradise. When we return, obtaining the story.

Throton: It wasn't easy some of these people literaly broke down and cried just by us brining it up.

After that list,a tomatoe smashes 2 metres away from Monty.

"Come on! Who threw that? Who threw that tomato? Come on." Monty yelled at the crowd. "Come on, who did it? And don't use that "Sorry, I thought we'd started" excuse, I've heard that too many times."

He looked around and saw someone from Edward City with tomato juice on their hands.

"Right", Monty told him, "Go to the back."

And he walked to the back of the arena.

"Always one, isn't there? Now, where were we- oh yes! The Best Picture nominee list"

Two seconds after Monty stops talking,five tomatoes smash at his face.:gundge:

-Yeeejah!!!,says a spectator.

"Security!" Monty yelled. Get me and him out of here!" Security escorted Monty off of the stage while more tomatoes were being thrown, while specialised forces (who had been taught self-defense against fresh fruit) released the 16 ton weight, squashing him flat. He is recovering in hospital now. "Why me?" he wimpered.

When he will return to the USEC,he will receive a present...:mp5: :mp5: :mp5: :mp5:

Monty,you are invited to visit the United States of Edward City when you want and if you come here,you will be on an anti-tomatoe limo.

Thank you. That's very kind of you, and, if you want you can stay for the duration of the festival, even if you're just here to see "Call of Duty".

Yes,I will stay here until the end of the festival.

"Haha, they should have put me up for best Director of The Prop as well." Andrew joked to Florida who was excited that she had a FAME Nomination. "Your films have a total of 8 nominations. The Prop is up for three best film awards, how cool is that!" she retorted. "Yeah. Well. We'll see what will happen."

The two of them got up and contratulated the various people in their team that got nominated. The prop crew all just really celebrated together, Perhaps no one really stood out but three Best Film nominations, well best Classic, Best Comedy and Best Picture obviously meant that it had attracted attention.

The next day in Bazalonia the following news headlines where seen in Newspapers.

Fruits More Dangerous Than Cheese.

In an amazing incident at the Press Conference for the Piemon International Film Festival a citizen of Edward City assaulted the host, a man well respected in his nation, The Great Monty Python himself. The president of Edward City, who apparently has nothing better to do than attend an international film festival assured the Great Monty that the fruit thrower (who used tomatos and lemons as projectile weapons) would indeed be punished for his crimes once returned to Edward City. I am appauled that such loutish and Hooliganism could be allowed. Despite intensive research however the name of this individual that caused Monty Python to go to Hospital is still a Mystery. Contacts in Edward City have refused to give this man, if indeed it was a man, a name.

"Well done to everone who worked on those film, and congratulations to Sir Edward Ross who, as well as being dead, got 8 nominations."

"Now onto the gossip. You may have been hearing that tomatos and lemons were being thrown at Monty Python and Rob Goldelf last night, while on stage, and we now go live outside the Piemon Arena to hear from Eric Praline, the stand in Prime Minister while Monty is resting in hospital."

"Eric, what is going to happen now?"

"Well, first we wish Monty and Rob to get well soon, and I am proud to announce that they shalll be attending the opening ceremony tonight. Also, all stocks of tomatoes and lemons shall have to be brought through the government until futher notice. All current stocks have been withdrawn."

"Isn't that a bit over the top?"

"I think this is right for the protection of all our citizens that we do this."

"One last question- who is the friut thrower?"

"You know that he's from Edward City, but am not allowed to reveal any other information at the moment."

"Thank you for that Eric. Lastly, I would like to say that tickets are currently being given out for free at the Lumberjack Lodge, so if any viewers want some, go there. Thank you for watching, see you soon!"

The president of Edward City, who apparently has nothing better to do than attend an international film festival assured the Great Monty that the fruit thrower (who used tomatos and lemons as projectile weapons) would indeed be punished for his crimes once returned to Edward City. I am appauled that such loutish and Hooliganism could be allowed. Despite intensive research however the name of this individual that caused Monty Python to go to Hospital is still a Mystery. Contacts in Edward City have refused to give this man, if indeed it was a man, a name.

Sorry,but I,Albert Mainzer,am here because the 5th Article of the Edwardian Constitution says:"The President of Edward City has the Right and obligation to assist to any convention,festival or thing such only if in that Convention,Festival or other there's Edwardian participation".

(Stock footage) Jason Hart and Maria Santiago have been captured alive and will stand trial.

Narrator: Jason Hart and Maria Santiago have been branded two of the most notorious mass killers in history. Upon their capture, Interpol put a gag order on all press relating to this, but before that the story made news.

Alex Thorton: I remeber seeing that story for the first time, I was at home and they began telling what happend on this island, and I was like My God what just happend

Narrator: The title was dubed the Paradise Island Killing by INTERPOL. It was the brain child of ecentrict millionair Thomas Bellmont.

Throton: I had meet Bellmont a few years ago, he never really struck me as the type to hatch a mass murder like this, I was shocked, because he chose over a dozen people and sentenced them to death.

Narrator: Ironically Bellmont was killed on the Island by one of the people he had condmend to death. Several weeks later the news died down.

Thorton: I couldn't belive it, the news just went away. This was the crime of the century and the news was gone. I decided I wanted to bring this story and tell thoes who didn't know what happend. It made for good story telling, good film, and it was all true.

Sofia Kamrill: Alex Contacted me and asked if I would do this project with him. I did recall hearing about this so called "hunted" Game, it was shocking.

Narrator: Havning no previous published material to work with, both Throton and Kamrill were stumbling in the dark.

Thorton: Most of the information was withheld pending trial, so no one had made a book. By the time information was available, we had secured the story rights. What we had to do was gather information from the victems themselves, and the victem famlies.

Daphnie Stone: (Survivor) What I went through was horrible. I didn't want to relive it.

Narrator: Gathering information wasn't easy for both screenwriters.

Throrton: It wasn't easy some of these people literaly broke down and cried just by us brining it up.

Brooke Thompson: (Survivor) It was hard. Because I knew if I told, I would have to relive the last time I saw my dad. And recalling that was painful. Everytime I close my eyes I still see his lifeless body, at night I have nightmares about the cave we went through. I rember how even I was a fraction from death.

Janet Stone: (daughter, survivor) it hasn't been easy. I felt if I told my story, told what I knew to these two, maybe just maybe we could come to terms with it. I know I got lucky, my brothers and sisters, both my parents survived. One girl lost her father.

Kamrill: The stories they told us were so firighting, it was unbelivable

Thorton: This seemed like it could only come out of a movie. It was incredible, just incredible.

Narrator: When we return,

Thorton: The location we found, beared such an eerie resemblence to the place where it happend

Brooke: I watched them film a scene from the movie, one that I went through and it looked so real.

REAL TO REEL: INSIDE THE HUNTED

The Opening Ceremony for the festival shall begin in 17 minutes.

Sorry about the short notice.

"Everyone ready? Let's begin in 3...2...1...Go!"
The music (http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/grail/k-arthur.wav) kicked in, and a king, a servant and two knights came into view. The Piemon Proffesional Dramatics Society were going to preform the opening scene from the nation's favourite play, "A Holy Grail Named Monty"

ARTHUR:
You fight with the strength of many men, Sir Knight.
[pause]
I am Arthur, King of the Britons.
[pause]
I seek the finest and the bravest knights in the land to join me in my court at Camelot.
[pause]
You have proved yourself worthy. Will you join me?
[pause]
You make me sad. So be it. Come, Patsy.
BLACK KNIGHT:
None shall pass.
ARTHUR:
What?
BLACK KNIGHT:
None shall pass.
ARTHUR:
I have no quarrel with you, good Sir Knight, but I must cross this bridge.
BLACK KNIGHT:
Then you shall die.
ARTHUR:
I command you, as King of the Britons, to stand aside!
BLACK KNIGHT:
I move for no man.
ARTHUR:
So be it!
ARTHUR and BLACK KNIGHT:
Aaah!, hiyaah!, etc.
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm off]
ARTHUR:
Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
BLACK KNIGHT:
'Tis but a scratch.
ARTHUR:
A scratch? Your arm's off!
BLACK KNIGHT:
No, it isn't.
ARTHUR:
Well, what's that, then?
BLACK KNIGHT:
I've had worse.
ARTHUR:
You liar!
BLACK KNIGHT:
Come on, you pansy!
[clang]
Huyah!
[clang]
Hiyaah!
[clang]
Aaaaaaaah!
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's right arm off]
ARTHUR:
Victory is mine!
[kneeling]
We thank Thee Lord, that in Thy mer--
BLACK KNIGHT:
Hah!
[kick]
Come on, then.
ARTHUR:
What?
BLACK KNIGHT:
Have at you!
[kick]
ARTHUR:
Eh. You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine.
BLACK KNIGHT:
Oh, had enough, eh?
ARTHUR:
Look, you stupid bastard. You've got no arms left.
BLACK KNIGHT:
Yes, I have.
ARTHUR:
Look!
BLACK KNIGHT:
Just a flesh wound.
[kick]
ARTHUR:
Look, stop that.
BLACK KNIGHT:
Chicken!
[kick]
Chickennn!
ARTHUR:

BLACK KNIGHT:
Right. I'll do you for that!
ARTHUR:
You'll what?
BLACK KNIGHT:
Come here!
ARTHUR:
What are you going to do, bleed on me?
BLACK KNIGHT:
I'm invincible!
ARTHUR:
You're a looney.
BLACK KNIGHT:
The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you! Come on, then.
[whop]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's last leg off]
ARTHUR:
Oh? All right, we'll call it a draw. Come, Patsy.
BLACK KNIGHT:
Oh. Oh, I see. Running away, eh? You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!

(OOC: Thank you to http://www.mwscomp.com/ and Monty Python for this)

This was met with supportive applause from the crowd, before Monty entered to say a few words.

Cheers erupted from the crowd when Monty appeared, who hobbled in on crutches. He stepped up to the podium, accompanied by 3 bodyguards:

"Thank you to the Piemon Proffesional Dramatics Society for that performence. Please don't ask about last night's incident, I'm much better now, because tonight we are here to honour a theatrical legend, Sir Edward Ross."

A film flickered up on the screen above Monty. "This is, of course, "Tea Maker", Sir Edward Ross's first film, and a very good film that combined reality and comedy together. Now, let's watch a clip from this."

"Wasn't that great? Now, throughout his life he had an idea to do a different genre film instead of comedy- an action/sci-fi/thriller/horror movie. And so the last film before he died, "Divide", was made."

"If you want to watch a 30 second, never seen before trailer, open the screens in front of you and press start. If not, and you want to wait for the premiere, just use the chatting software on your screen while we wait for these people to finish."

Monty Python had just left the ceremony, and he saw what people were writing on the chat programs- over half the people wrote "this is shit".

"Great..." Monty said sarcasticly.

Back in the arena though the ceremony was underway. 15 children walked in, each holding a flag of each of the nations participating, and all the children wore capes with the names of all 28 films participating on.

The children then took off thier capes, giving them to Monty Python who called out the names of the nations and festivals, putting them in a pot.

Then renowned runner Buster Elliot ran in, and started talking:

"Hello. To mark the start of the festival, I shall be running across the nation over the next week, holding this camera and asking as many people as I can across TGMP what is their favourite film. The film shall begin, and I shall start running, when Monty lights the pot."

Monty shouted "I proudly announce the Piemon International Film Festival open!", throwing a lit match into the pot, and Buster started running.

"If anyone is worried about the amount of film on that camera, don't worry because all our film is transmitted to a central computer that stores all the film. So basicly we have an unlimited amount of memory!"

"Thank you everyone for coming, and I hope to see you all again at the FAME Awards!" Then there was a big cheer and a round of applause as all the children bowed and walked off of the stage.

The next event will be the showing of New Films.

Excited cheers went up from the Bazalonian crowd that where hoping good things from the three nominated Bazalonian films. Meanwhile back in Bazalonia, the writer of the article that contained the line "The president of Edward City, who apparently has nothing better to do than attend an international film festival." caused a situation.

"That fool, He potentially has stuffed up relations with a nation we have never met before." stated a random official from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

"Yeah, well at least we can smooth it over. We'll make an official statement seperating the government from his statements and then send him a gift basket. And perhaps an embassy exchange proposal? It could not hurt." said a second random official

"So that's agreed, now let's talk to the Minister. Bah, I wish Sir Richard was still the minister, oh well."

Later that afternoon an official release went out from the government.


To: President of Edward City, Mr Albert Mainzer
From: Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade
Subject: Media Report

The government of Bazalonia wishes to advise that it neither knew, sanctioned nor agrees with the statements of a particular Bazalonian media outlet. We would like to let you know that we appreciate your dedication to your Job and would like to take this oppurtunity to resolve this situation. Being transported via BazRoad & Air is a gift basket for the President. In fact to foster greater relations and understanding of each other, we would like to propose an embassy exchange.

Thank you for your time.

Yours Sincerly <Signature>
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade

Bazalonian Film Trailers:

Extinction:

A panning shot of Space, that goes onto a destroyed and cracked earth... An announcer "When disaster strikes the Earth, only the crew of an experiment space ship survive." A flash of the some of the crew doing various work and the face of the Captain as he looked overr his crew. It returns back to the Space shot, still panning.

"And then something comes alive.", short clips of containing various sounds of an unknown source before returning back to space. "It only has one thing on it's mind..... Extermination of Humanity."

Clips of things collapsing on people, The XO Trevot Lents, played by Wolfgang Omozer skittling himself backwards away from the creature, whatever it is. The final clip was like the camera was something falling from a great height ontop of the first class private.

Just Another Day at the Office:

A clip of Helen Degeneress sitting at her office working on the computer, A co-worker brings her a pile of papers and puts them on her desk. "For Helen Degeneres, life was consistant, organised and utterly dull. Until the Death of her Husband, Ronan, who had kept a big secret from her." During this there was a small brief look at the funeral after which Helen was dealing with Ronan's clothes And she found a briefcase she had never seen before. Opening it up, she found out Ronan's secret he was an agent for BSIO, She opened it to reveal Wads of Baz, and a number of false Bazalonian and other passports. (Which is inaccurate as BSIO is like the FBI in that it deals with counter-intelligence and is only meant to operate inside Bazalonia) "and suddenly life has got a lot more interesting."

<Clips of an Explosion as Helen leaps onto a building but barely manages to cling onto the side of the roof, A clip where all three agents are in the room together Helen is no where to be seen (all have guns drawn as the briefcase is in the middle of the room.>

"Is the BSIO agent the best person to trust? or will Helen rely on her brain to outsmart her persuers? For Helen Degeneres this is not Just Another Day at the Office.

The Prop:

"When a prop is needed for a play, there is only one man you got to, Hector Davidson." A picture of Andrew Trengrove dressed up as one of the parts of the play. "No, not him" the picture changes to a picture of Wolfgang as Hector Davidson. "Yes, that's better." Hector waves. "When no ordinary prop is required for a production of 'And the Space Belle Tolls', Hector hobbles together a Time Machine in his Garage." Clip of where Hector creates the time machine in his Garage. "It's now opening night and Hector makes a surprising discovery. The Prop is a real time machine and now Hector Davidson must not only deal with the situations as they arrise but also 2 bumbling BSIO agents." Flashes of stills taken from the movies flash up. "Come see this classic Bazalonian comedy, only at the Piemon International Film Festival."

*bump*

OOC: Sorry about the late start, I couldn't access the forums.

"How do I look?" Monty asked his assistant, Carol.

"You look great. Just get on the stage- good luck!"

Monty limped onto the stage (with his bodyguards) to discover an angered crowd, whose impatience for the FAME Awards had grown considerably since the beginning of the festival. They had seen all their nation's films, and they had now been forced to go to an award that most of them thought they would not be winning. They saw it as another distraction and timewaster before the FAME Award ceremony.

"Well, we all know why we are here. To honour a moviemaking legend- Sir Edward Ross."

Monty paused for an applause, but only a few claps and wolfwhistles answered him.

He took a deep breath, and continued.

"Here's a montage of Tea Maker and Divide, the oldest and newest of his films. I know you've all ready seen both of them..."

"No, I haven't" shouted an audience member.

"OK, most of you have at least seen Divi-"

"I haven't seen any of them, now that you mention it" said another.

"Well... watch the montage then!"

Sorry,I have to leave because I have been involved in a war with a rogue nation in the region of New Spain and I will not be able to see the end of the festival.

Sorry,I have to leave because I have been involved in a war with a rogue nation in the region of New Spain and I will not be able to see the end of the festival.

"Bye then. If you win any awards, we'll send them to you in the post." Monty yelled at the Edward City Prime Minister, who was just leaving.

Cries of "Get on with it!" came from the crowd, before Monty came back on.

"The montage was longer than expected, but now we can present the award. This will go to one of this film pionner who has, and still will, help the art of film making:"

The winner of the "Sir Edward Ross" Lifetime Achievement Award is...

Alex Throton!

Please, when you arrive, say a few words. Goodnight everyone- see you at the awards!

Alex and Molly had retired early. Their kids all ranging from their 20's to their 30's busted into their room.

"Mom dad, wake up."

"What, Margaret, Todd, Ron, Melody, Amy, and Joe, why did you wake me up in the middle of the night?"

Alex asked.

"Dad you won, you won!" The youngest Daughter was Margaret was 18, she was paticullarly excited.

"She's not kidding. We were out for dinner, and they announced that you had won the Life Achivment award."

He hopped out of bed and turned on the TV, entertainment news was blaring.

"Once again the winner of the Sir Edward Ross Life Achievement Award is Director Alex Thorton."

"I can't belive it."

"Honey this is wonderful."

"Yeah."

"I haven't seen your father this suprised since he found out Y.H. Was nominated for 14 Awards including Director and Picture."

"Well then, I suppose this calls for a celebration of some sort."

25 mins and counting until, at 5:15pm (GMT)

The FAME Awards Begin!

In other news, last night at the Sir Edward Ross Dedication, Director, Alex Thorton won the Lifetime Achievement Award. Monty Python was quoted at calling the event as a "success".

Also, an unknown individual, that was most probably the President of Edward City, interuptted the event to say that they are "involved in a war with a rogue nation in the region of New Spain" and he would therefore not be able to be at the festival. We wish them them the best of luck.

Stay tuned on PiemoVTV to see what people say as they walk along the Blue Carpet into the Piemon Arena.

Here comes Monty Python, ready to present the event. Monty, how are you feeling?

"We're running late and I've only just arrived. How do you think I feel? Now go away!"

OK, now we go live to the festival.

The lights dimmed...

"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the world's first FAME Awards. Now, please give a warm round of applause for your host, Monty Python!"

Unlike last night, a bigger applause was heard. You smell the rivally and sweat in the air as many crews, directors and actors were there, each wanting to suck up to Monty and win an award.

"Is that for me, or is it because I'm not Rob Goldelf?" Monty started, to many laughs. "I'm just going to go straight to the awards- I'm not going to do a long and unfunny speech, as that's Billy Crystal's job." There were no laughs this time. No-one knew who Billy Crystal was.

Monty interupted an uncomfortable silence. "Well, nobody's perfect- time for the first award..."

"I am amazed at the results. Thank you Monty!" He then raised his trophy which was held firmly in his right hand. "Much obliged." He muttered under his breath.


"Did you just add an extra word to your speech limit?" Asked Monty sternly.


"Umm.. No." Replied Urbanus who quickly ran off the stage before Monty could push the trap door button.


----------


Jeffrey Breeze collected his award for Best Original Screenplay for Draklyn.


"I'd like to thank my Wife who kept me going." He said, he was going to continue but he noticed Monty's fingers looming over the trap door button and he went off of the stage."


----------


Ricardo Gregosa came to collect the Best Drama award for Ten Days and Counting though he wouldn't get it himself, it would go in "Falling Tree in Woods" - the publishing companies trophy cabinet.


"I am humbled to accept this award. Thank you Piemon!" He said and waved to the cameras before goin gback to his seat.

To accept the Following the Dream best musical award, Stewart Knowles, Harry Yeovil and Majdy Ghasaan came to the stage. Ghasaan got loud boos.

------------


And once again Jeffrey Breeze came to the stage to accept best fantasy for Draklyn, but was accompanied by Hylix who got loud cheers from the audience.


"Thank you everybody!" Said Hylix.


"We are honoured to accept this award." Added Breeze. Then Hylix kissed the award and raised it with Breeze before they left the stage.


----------


Hylix was sholcked and full of joy to win the final award of the night. It was just a marvellous thing to hear, his name winning Best Actor.


"Thank you everyone. It was hard but.. Worth it. Thanks." Hylix slowly went more quiet as he held back tears of joy, then silently left the stage.

"Thank you all. Sofia is sorry she could not be here tonight, we both give you our thanks."

After he stepped down trying to make sure that he didn't go over the 10 word limit.

Then for Best Sci-fi "Apology accepted. This is to everyone that made Extinction great." He wa totally unprepared for this one but seemed to eerily make it into the 10 words.

"Monty- you're back! Where the *bleep* have you been?!" yelled Rob.

For numerous nights the audience had been waiting, hoping that the results would finally be announced. Monty had said "tomorrow", yet he never arrived then, and the whole festival's anticipation had faded away.

"I've been waiting for days. Four whole days for you! There are lots of awards to give out, everyone's waiti-"

"Buster's dead." simply replied Monty.

"What?"

"Buster Elliot- he's passed away."

"What?"

"This runner is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late runner . It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-runner!"
