I'M SURROUNDED BY ***HOLES!

[Blatherscythe]

You haven't made yourself sound very good with this post, especially when you basically attacked somebody for messing around.

He does it everytime and I didn't attack him. I forced the stick out of his hands because he wouldn't stop or give it to me when I asked politely, I wouldn't want to instigate a fight or god-forbid hurt someone.

I get that... that's attacking him. You aren't fighting him, but you're still not exactly making yourself look nice.

How many pissed off people at their wits end and dealing with a frustrating idiot are nice?

Anybody who doesn't want to come off as bad as the people he's complaining about?

Well good for that percentage that can do that, guess I should take up meditation or something.

You don't have to take up meditation, you just have to realize that getting angry won't solve anything, and being a dick to people who are annoying you will just make things worse. Also: You can't control how people act, so trying is destined to fail.

I was being sarcastic and hell I knew that to begin with. They're just a pain and I'm blowing off steam.

 

[Blatherscythe]

Your teacher was right, you know. You were acting just as immature as he getting all worked up about it.

I can understand where you are coming from, though. I am hardly an intelligent person, and I frequently can't help but think I am the only person I know with a brain.

Well my anger issues flared up and I was tired of dealing with this guy. I know that's not an excuse but I just couldn't help it, still I asked him three times to hand over the tripod leg while the teacher was there and he refused.

You have hands, and the backs of those hands for a reason, be swift and painful. They will rue the day they messed with you and your metal gauntlets!

OT: My friends are about the same, yes my damned friends are the most annoying thing ever but I can't get rid of them because I wouldn't have anyone to troll.

Are you suggesting that I should beat the shit out of those three people? It would feel good and I could knock some sense into them... I need time to think about this.

Oh yeah, that sounds familiar. The one group I was in for the final project for one of my first semester classes in Multimedia Production was much like that. We had to do a script and film a small CSI: Miami scene. The one guy could never be counted on to show up and when he did show up we barely got anything done because he'd keep sidetracking everyone with irreverent crap.
The one time over half an hour was wasted while he and some of the others broke in to mock DBZ-esq fights. And this is in College.

Oh fuck you'd think that exams, the crushing reality of life, the cars, the booze, the ability to drop out of highschool and the age would either remove them or straighten them out. Well at least I know what to look forward to, thanks for the eyeopener and man do I feel sorry for you, that's the group I'm with on steriods.

Yeah, you'd think. Interestingly enough, that guy I mentioned, apparently that was his second time taking that class too.
There is good news however, College will weed out the illprepaired. The Multimedia Production program I'm currently taking is a 2-year program and I just finished the first year back in April. After the first year more then half of the people who started the program with me back in September have dropped out.

I just ment backhand them with spiked gauntlets... But you do what you said sounds more fun!

Please note: Garlicncow does not support or condone violence in anyway but finds it funny as hell when applied directly to the forehead of stupid people.

As long as the workforce isn't full of them it's a much more beautiful place.

How do you think any movie with Tom Cruise gets made?

Continuous lies about them joining Scientology if Tom Cruise does his job?

Isn't that always the case?

Define always.

 

[Natdaprat]

Wow, dude, you're angry. Chill. You can deal with situations like that without exploding or being a dick. Do you think that type of behaviour (from you, and the others) is tolerated on a real set? No. Maybe they're not as professional as you, but you're handling it the wrong way. What you should have done is kindly taken the tripod leg off the masturbating retard and beat him to death with it. That's how Spielberg would do it.

Problem is he wouldn't relinquish the damn thing if his life depended on it, he has a wierd bond with that tripod leg.

I have a strange sudden urge to cry out WHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!

 

[The Shade]

Well here's my group of assholes, in com and media class... -snip-

Well, take solace in the fact that everyone's ComTech class is like that. About 95% of the people in those courses take it as a throwaway course.

Next up are the two out of our 4 actors, -snip-

That's the reality anyone faces when using non-professional actors. Remember: at this level, these people are either throwing their own grades away (talk to the teacher, but be reasonable, for this sort of thing) or they're actually doing you a favour by agreeing to act in your project. Either way, a true director will grit his/her teeth and be courteous and gracious, and most importantly, thankful for their actors.
Or you could hire some pro actors, but I'm gonna guess you don't have the qualifications to distribute Actra points yet.

The other guy and I cannot get anything done because -snip-

And that is your challenge: to succeed when it seems like there's no hope. You prove yourself as a filmmaker ([sub]or [/sub]) when you can persevere through an onslaught of delays, problematic co-workers, and Murphy's shin-kicker of a law. It's not ideal, but you'll come out a stronger leader. Just think: if you can successfully direct this rabble of idiots, imagine what you'll be able to do with a worthwhile crew?

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

Have you ever been stuck in a group that makes you want to stick a gun in your mouth and pull the trigger? Either because they are immature, childish, idiotic, lazy, or just plain annoying? Well here's my group of assholes, in com and media class I'm stuck doing a script writing project, after we write the script we film it. Well the girl who was originally doing the script said she didn't want to write it, so I offered to and did so. She then turns around and starts writing a script and denounces mine as garbage and calls it stupid even though she hasn't even read the damn thing!

Next up are the two out of our 4 actors, one cannot concentrate on anything and wanders on and off the set, we constantly need to track him down and make him get his shit together. The last one is the worst, we need to make a fake gun for our plot but we cannot use anything that looks like a gun, so we decided to use a broken tripod leg, you know one of the legs that you can adjust to help take the pictures without shaking the camera. Whenever we give this guy the damn thing he pretends to jerk off with it, I wish I was joking and whenever I ask for him to stop and give me the leg he says no it's mine and I literally have to yank it out of his hands to get him to stop. Afterwards he makes a whole bunch of lame mastubation/dick jokes and acts like a 5 year old he wanders around with the leg and always bugs me with it. One time I told the teacher to help me get the leg from him and while the teacher was standing there I told him to pass the leg over and stop acting like a god-damn 5 year old, he then says that I'm the five year old for getting angry with him, I then reply with your the five year old because you cannot stop acting like and asshole and get shit done! That landed me some "to the office time" and I was rather pissed off.

The other guy and I cannot get anything done because the ***** won't get off her high horse (the script she wrote is garbage, it is full of cliches and plot holes), another guy cannot fucking concentrate and the other can't act his fucking age! We can't join another group because they're full and the one we're with won't shut the hell up and do something, even the teacher isn't doing jack-shit. So what group are you, or were with that makes you wan't to say this?


Also I realize this makes me seem like a bossy dick but really that's only when I get angry and even then I only want to get things done. And no I didn't attack that kid I forcefully took the tripod leg from him, I didn't hit him.

Stop trying to be in control, if they want to fuck around let them don't rise to it because it just sounds like you're the biggest asshole in the group.

I don't care if he makes hurrr durr dick jokes, only people who're equally as childish will rise to such behavior.

Awesome clip from an awesome movie.

I know the feeling, I'm surrounded by idiots in my school!

There's very little hope that I can, we only have about 6 classes left, I've spent 6 other classes trying to work with these guys to no avail and I still can't get that one guy to stop pretending to jerk off. Luckily the script is the meat of the grade earned and it's a good script.

 

[Yoshemo]

Thats why in my class, my movie group was me and my best friend. All the other actors were people at his open house!

These guys will just sit on their asses playing computer games all day and it takes half an hour to get them ready to go and film and another half and hour to actually get them ready to actually shoot the film. We won't get anything done unless someone gives them a swift kick in the ass.
