but seriously, I didn’t read any of that; way too long. The pics seemed to tell enough of a story...sort of. I’ll be sure to watch it.

Guy Who Got A Headache And Accidentally Saves The World
As a film watcher and game player, it’s pretty amazing how formulaic a lot of this shit is. Especially videogames, which for a comparitively young medium, didn’t take long to get a Hollywood type mentality. I may be a basement dwelling sociopath who hates women, but anyone just trying to do what they like and create some variety is alright with me. Good interview.

Dudes, there’s much easier and less expensive ways to get your porn fix than to watch a movie like this. What a dumb idea. lol

Mostly naked models in fetish with guns.
The Wachowskis cheated us in those Matrix movies
Of course they were just afraid of the Bush Administration, so who can blame them.
Does the blonde get to drop the F-bomb? That is so McClane everyman.

I like that guy, he’s straddling the line between genius and insanity pretty well.
Nice review, Vern. :^)

Right above the Michael Bay question, where you talk about how you’re going to try to influence Scotty JX to become a better filmmaker, it’s in the wrong format or something.
It looks like it’s still JX talking, like Scotty just developed a second personality during the interview and that personality started talking about the first personality. It might be a good idea to fix that.

DTV could be so much more fun than it usually is. The thing thats missing from these movies (besides decent budget and good acting. lol) is a tight script. The funny thing is that if the director of this movie likes Rambo 2 or Mad Max, then he should be deconstructing those screenplays... instead of having no story whatsoever. Find out about linear storytelling and when and where to place action. DTV action movies today have ZERO structure. The non-action scenes don’t build towards action. Hollywood action flicks are like that too. I’ve heard War with Statham/Li is a boring piece of shit with brief action spurts and a meandering storyline. Others are the opposite, with brief spurts of alleged storyline and long meandering action(Transformers). People should study James Cameron or the guys who wrote Robocop or Darkman. Movies where the action/story are well blended together. There’s no need to be Tarantino or the Wachowskis. No need to rewrite all the rules. Keep the structure linear (look to the 80s for story templates), have character development, (give the character have an emotional problem that’s solved throughout the course of the action. Like Riggs in Lethal Weapon or even that dude Van Damme played in Timecop) and add all the crazy action when it’s time. Action directors need to get back to basics. Maybe then I can sit through more run n’ gun action films (DTV or otherwise). Great article Vern!

We need to know the tragedy behind what made them who they are.

Actually, it’s a simile. English: 1 | Vern: 0. Don’t worry though bro, you’re still fucking hilarious and this was a great piece!

This guy seems like he wants to be talented but also appears to be in a great deal of denial about what he’s making. His inspirational material is great stuff but how good can his movie BE? What was the vibe that you got from this guy? Vern, did he seem genuinely interested in making a REAL film some day or is fine with making this or what? He’s an enigma to me!

Technically, there was one metaphor (pieces of this puzzle) and one simile (like a penis etc.), so currently the English language and I are owning all your asses. ;^)

this guy is nuts. Scotty if you’re reading this come on in to the talkbacks we won’t kill ya. maybe some TFD but no killing
And surely there are some American models out there, even one or two that would be intrested in doing this shi...stuff.
and I know I saw erica Campbell, maybe not on the Actiongirls.com site but on doing a similar pose, gun out looking like she was in an action film..hmmm Erica Campbell...

That was fun. Scotty is living his dream, for sure. Now to investigate his website...

it’s nice to see the hot chicks and to know that stuff like this is being made, but the worlds a different place. When I was in middle school/freshman in high school (early 90’s) there were the cinemax porno’s that played on friday and saturday nights and that was just about the only porn/nuddity guys my age could witness unless they knew someone brave enough/old enough to own actual porn movies or magazines. Looking back i guess it was a good thing because now it’s over kill, kids that age just have to have access to a computer and about ten minutes free time to see hardcore stuff i didn’t get to see or even in some case stuff i hadn’t heard of until was like 17 or 18.

...and one of his top priorities for the sequel is to actually WRITE A SCRIPT THIS TIME.
You just answered your own question, Chester. Good luck with that.

I cant believe this dude just mentioned movies like star wars & terminator, etc. in an interview about his rat shit of a movie. does he actually think of actiongirls as art. plus euro models bore me. Vern’s IQ just got rockbottomed by watching this thing.

Thanks AICN & Vern. Especially in this day and age, with digital video and all, it’s always interesting to hear about some of the more obscure and specialized pieces of the larger film world.

I’m really quite pleased that AICN ran this interview. It has nothing to do with the mainstream “cool news” but was like this weird little slice of life story. Good job, Vern. Also, loved the “woah, double metaphor” line.
Like TELF said up there, this guy is living his dream, and it’s always interesting to see what happens when the “dream” is realized. I remember going to comic book cons and seeing the guys who were self-publishing their own books. I never really liked what I saw, but there was something admirable about someone who knows what they want to do and they go out and do it. Clearly, Scotty JX is making his dream of nude women shooting with flame-throwers movies a reality. Good on him.
