I have a job for you, Rogan. I too, am currently in Ohio. Not my forever place but my elderly mum is here. I left London, UK to be here. Anyway, the mini doc that I want to make will take place in Rockport, MA. Winter. Long story, but I need some help to bring this to closure. I will be in touch. The person that this will be about, would totally get you. The depression, the woe is me attitude, and so on.
@@IslandGirlKellyprobably easiest way/place to pm me is to friend me @ Facebook... And use Messenger... I never consistently check in and keep up, anywhere else
@roganmarshall4610 Thanks, Ronan. I'm not on FaceBook, but I did just make a few calls. I'm going to have to wait. I found out what it will cost to get it made and sadly I would come up short.
This is such a great story! I read it too, from Alfred Hitchcock's "Monster Museum" anthology. The author's original "The Old Gods Waken" by Manly Wade Wellmam is highly sought after and expensive. Thanks so much for reading it! Super creepy and intense. I live about three hours from Yandro as the crow flies... 😮
@@domcrotty5784 I totally forgot I'd recorded this! I really wanted to make a movie or maybe just a podcast so I could play Silver John myself, and I worked up the weird accent reading the story to Red (my daughter Red Panther)... I recorded it to make sure I could do the accent again, if I ever follow through on an adaptation!
I was working in a Hollywood deli when they shot Waterworld... They had crew living on the floating fortress they built for the movie... Flying out for days off, by helicopter... At the time people said there's a six hour version of Waterworld with a whole bunch of smart SF detail, but I guess there's no interest in releasing a long version of a flop. (I like Waterworld too)
@@roganmarshall4610 I think it's 40 minutes longer than the theatrical cut. It's an Arrow Video release on blu ray or 4k. I'm also a fan of Heaven's Gate which is kinda that same kind of huge budget flop lol.
I forgot to mention: Tubi has both the complete 12 part serial, as a set of episodes (like a TV series), which totals about four hours watch time, and the feature length edit, which cuts it down to seventy odd minutes. The feature upload at Tubi looks and sounds like crap: the remastered complete serial is a much better print and presentation
An immediate correction! Neither of the actresses in this movie is Fay Wray! I need an assistant. Also I'm never taking notes again (I got that wrong by trusting my notes and then not looking at my notes)
Events occur, Rogan. That's my polite way of saying that shit happens. 🤣 On a side note, you're looking and sounding well. I'm lighting a candle for you that things take a turn for the better for you. 🕯🙏🏻🕯
Good morning, hope you doing okay rn. I can see what you mean about it being bad but good. There's even a popular saying often used for B-movies that something's "So bad, it's good." Like it's a mess and badly made, but totally fun and enjoyable to watch and it's "great" for that.
I'm doing fairly well... making most of my videos sitting up! That "so bad it's good" thing kind of starts around 1931 or so... maybe it was impossible to give those kinds of impressions without dialogue? I don't know... silent movies are bad because they're slow and they wander. The Crooked Circle is early, but this is the era in which small independent companies started making movies, and making up for a lack of money, equipment, and top line talent and training, with commitment and zaniness... That B movies were like this in the thirties, also explains a lot about Ed Wood (the Welles of indie "bad" filmmakers)... Wood grew up on THIS stuff. Wood was the guy who sat alone in a theater watching The Crooked Circle and poverty row pictures like it, and saw in them a vision for his own life and work
Hiya, Rogan. I haven't downloaded Tubi as of yet, but just found The Monster (1925) here on YT. I have to be up at 4:30 in the AM, but will give it a go now. You've made it sound enticing. Sleep well later, and much love to Zoe. 💕🐈⬛
Glad you're here. I always recommend Nosferatu for people looking to get into silent movies. The way it was paced 'feels' pretty modern and the story moves relatively briskly along.
If you watch a whole lot of silent movies, you find it's German filmmakers who created/developed how to use pacing and timing, the way movies still do, now, pretty much. The Russians sort of invented using editing to tell the story, but lots of the standard moves used to put scenes together, to this day, first turn up in German movies, from 1920 to 1930, ish (that's about when all the talented German filmmakers started leaving Europe for the States)
It looks like I'm going to be talking about the original Nosferatu, about when the new one opens in theaters, which is pretty cool. (I haven't watched the trailer yet)
@@roganmarshall4610 I'm hoping it comes to my local theater when it comes out. Let's hope it doesn't suck like most remakes. But it was remade successfully once so we'll see
Attempting suicide is super risky, attempting it can just result in severe injury or disability. It might seem like some switch to turn of your problems but it's way more complicated than that. And anything can happen in life, good can happen even when it feels really hopeless, but if you're dead then you're done forever. That chance is gone.
Hi, Rogan. This is a topic that I enjoy. Amicus and Hammer films bring me joy. When I just need an escape from this mad world, I search for one, and it really does help me to unwind. Until recently, I lived in the UK. In my opinion, actors from across the pond are far superior to what we see here now. Anyway, it was good to see you and Zoe carrying on a conversation. She is definitely trying to tell you something. Enjoy the day, along with the energy from the full moon. 🌛
I didn't really grow up on the Hammer movies, for some reason local Cincinnati TV didn't show them much... though one of the first movies I remember really terrorizing me as a child, was the Hammer movie THE NANNY with Bette Davis
I'm sorry to hear you feel that way. This is not a diagnosis but that kinda sounds like depression. Nevertheless it's not your fault you feel like that and being angry that you don't feel happy could make you feel worse. And however bad it feels don't try to end your life, it's an irrational solution to your problems that may only cause more suffering. (By the way I'n unitfirestorm02 I've commented many times before, I just changed my profile, sorry if that caused confusion)
hey I'm younger than you and I feel awkward just taking pictures of stuff at the shop haha hope you're doing well right now, rogan, have fun watching movies and good luck with what you're doing at the moment x
You'll live for a lot longer yet I'm sure. I miss hearing you talking about films. I'm about to watch Reanimator for the 300th time . . . never gets old. "You killed him!", "No I did not I gave him life!" cue opening credits . . .
I've only been watching really, really old movies, lately... And I've been both too depressed, and working too many hours at the restaurant, to even do much of that! I'm starting to get into Tod Slaughter movies, I just watched The Demon Barber of Fleet Street a few nights ago...
I'm so glad you're still alive and still with us, I really hope you will live a long life. You're not really that old yet. And I'm glad you're feeling happier, just be hopeful about your situation!
Thank you for uploading. I think you should do what's best for your health and also your well-being, even if that goes against you cynical views. Also don't feel isolated for not enjoying common things, everyone has different opinions on stuff like movies.
You are blessed to be where you are, Rogan. Loads of trees and singing birds. I look forward to seeing more uploads from you taken outside. Nature is a healer, and the more that you feel good about things, the better that they will become. I am saddened by people who constantly feel doom because that is what will continue to be brought to them. Prayers that we all can step out of the darkness and embrace the light. 🙏🏻
Soon hopefully I'll be able to get Py and Zo fixed, and they can go outside... it's a quiet street, and we have a huge back yard. Once the cats can hang out, out there, I'll spend more time outside myself!
Hello, Rogan. Good luck with your job and the other stuff, be nice to yourself and try not to strain yourself too much. I hope you're doing okay right now, and good job on stopping tobacco because avoiding that stuff is better for your health.
Hi, Rogan. Being at a loss for words such as that can be a sign of dementia. The worse that it gets, he will start to get really frustrated. It is sad to see.
Oh, you know what, that might have been part of the problem, there. And not just a personality trait. (The first part of what I said to Rhonda was about my roommate, whose problem is mostly being heavily medicated... I really need to learn to be more sympathetic)
I enjoyed Little Shop of Horrors. I seem to remember it had a short resurgence of popularity in the late 90s and I had a copy on dvd. The news says he died at the grand old age of 98. Good to see you uploading. 😀
Dude, you're always my fact checker. I totally said "89" in the video, because some FB friend had that reversed, and then later I thought, no way he was that young
I'm glad to see you upload again. It sounds like you're dealing with a lot right now, but don't give up and love yourself. As a suggestion maybe you could ask for a bike on the internet or do a gofundme? And please take care of your health, it's very valuable.
Hiya, Rogan. I haven't seen any uploads from you the past few days. I may have not been notified, but I hope that all is well. Thursday is my only day off at the moment, so I am just catching up Friday evening. Be well, and blessings to all. 🙏🏻💕🥂
Hi! I'm okay enough. I'm kind of exhausted from work... I've had to spend most of my waking hours lying down and resting for most of the last week. But I'm okay... thanks for thinking of me
You're not forcing people to watch these videos. If you want to upload them you can and if you don't want to upload them, you don't have to. But whatever you feel please do not do any harm to yourself, it cannot be undone and so you will likely regret it. A lot of survivors of suicide say that in the moments they thought they were about to die they regretted their decision. Also when you feel bad it's good to watch something that makes you laugh.
Bad people never worry if they're a bad person, they don't have that level of self awareness. It's always the good people who know they could be better that think they're bad. I almost called you on your birthday but I knew you wouldn't answer, you've never been a fan of that day. You have friends, we just can't get to you to help out. And if God really hated you, he'd make you live forever.
I'm actually convinced I will live forever, and it's going to get worse after I die, that this entire life is a trick to goad me into trying to escape punishment... I had to make sure my phone was turned off on my birthday, actually, because it's Red's birthday too, and when she calls and rants at me and hangs up on me, it really upsets me. Anyway no one could call me. I worked that night... only one person here knew it was my birthday, a waitress, and she gave me a key chain, so I actually got a present, which was awesome
Don't die. Please. No matter what you think of life, you don't know what death could be like. Who's to say being dead is better than being alive? Nobody's actually died and come back, so nobody knows what it's really like. Do you really want to die? Or do you just not want to suffer? And you are what you are. What makes you think you're not a good person? Real bad people don't question if they're bad people. Have you done anything bad? If so, then forgive yourself and learn from it. If you haven't, then in no way are you bad.
I don't think I'm a bad person, in the sense that I do evil or destructive things. I mean, I'm not great, but I'm not lousy... I'm a bad person in the same sense that a book or a movie is "bad." No one can put up with being around me, no one can like me or relate to me or relax if I'm in the room. It's not possible to "love" me or "need" me. But no, as far as what people normally mean by a "bad person" - I sure have things to answer for, especially when I was young and drinking heavily, but generally speaking, I guess I'm a good person, as far as that goes. Good enough anyway
@@roganmarshall4610You're not a book or a movie. You're not bad just because other people don't like you, it sounds like you're basing yourself off of what other people think of you. It's not your fault that others have bad opinions of you. You're a person with valid feelings and you can do great things. Like you said, you are enough. So don't beat yourself up when you've done nothing wrong.
Don't kill yourself, please. Life is neither fair nor unfair, things simply happen and they are what they are. Good things happen to everyone, and so do bad things. Keep living. It's worth it to stay alive, even if life is painful. God does not hate you. The things written about God say that he loves all in his creation and is forgiving to everyone, and in all the universe why would he specifically hate you? If anything, he'd want you to keep going instead of giving up on life. Everyone deserves to be loved, and happiness is a birthright. Being kind to yourself is the deepest kindness one can do, so do what makes you happy, forget worrying if you "deserve" it and focus on showing compassion toward yourself. Accept what you are, don't spend your energy on the people who hate you and don't want you alive.
They always go after you, man. It's like the way I'm hidden half the time at Facebook. RU-vid plays algorithm games with me but they haven't straight up removed anything, I don't think. No, once I used "bad words" in a video title, and the video didn't post, but that was reasonable, I shouldn't have done it
Right when you said that God wants you dead or to be alone, Zoe came to your calling. There's the answer. Embrace and love what you do have, not what you lack right now, Rogan. If God wants anything, it would be to pull yourself up and persevere. On a side note, I have the day off today, so I took your recommendation of The Magician. I never knew of that film, but lived in England for many years, so had read all about Alistair's shenanigans. Be well. I look forward to the day when your next film comes out.
Hello Mr Rogan!! I think that yes you should rest if you are physically stressed too much. I am not old nor very wise so don't trust me too much on what I say, but stay safe and be nice to yourself! Also maybe try playing the guitar more, like some music you like on it? It might help you feel better.
Hello, Rogan. I feel your struggles. I hope that some of the stressors work themselves out. I just moved to Ohio myself, from England, because my mum is ederly and we had not spent much time together since I left home at 17 for school and work. Anyway, I had a job lined up before I got here and I feel truly blessed. My boss sold me a really great car for cheap money because he understood how difficult huge moves can be. I also know what you mean by closing and then opening. I do that 2 to 3 times a week myself. I call them clopens. 😂 Stay strong and as hopeful as you can. Take good care of yourself as best as you can. 💖
Please do at least take a rest from working if you're not in great shape, physically or mentally. You're important so take care of yourself. I'm in no position to give you medical advice so I'll just ask have your doctors told you that working like that is okay for your heart or not?
The doctors have told me not to work, actually. But according to them I shouldn't even be able to walk around freely and easily... so I'm not sure how seriously I should take them? In any case I have no other way to pay for things like food and taking my cats to the vet
@@roganmarshall4610 Can you not draw some sort of disability benefit? I've noticed a lot of these super obese people in the US who seem to be able to do so. I'm thinking 600 lb life etc. If you can't or shouldn't work that's not your fault is it.
@@veehope2702 it requires waiting for 1 to 3 years without employment or income, during the application process. It's a big part of why my family all quit speaking to me, it would cost them money and other resources to help support me until all that kind of thing can be squared away. If I become completely unable to work I'll be entirely homeless, and things only get worse from there
You don't need to go quiet if talking about your issues makes you feel better, but do whatever you think is best for you. It's okay to not feel okay, especially in a situation like yours, the way you feel is simply how your mind responds to it. Do anything that helps take your mind off things, but be careful it's not something that makes you feel worse in the long run. And however bad it feels don't try killing yourself, you risk putting yourself in a horrible situation if you attempt that.
You know what it's probably perfectly normal to feel depressed if the doctor has given you a time limit. I wouldn't know how to deal with that myself except maybe my faith and getting my cryonics team on stand by. I really don't know what to say that could help. I have been praying for you. I always find playing poker gets my mind off things until the situation improves or changes.
What about using your recent experiences as a writing prompt. From despair to... something else? Story of a man who's going day-to-day, only for something amazing to happen, and how he deals with it. Etc. You're a writer with published/filmed material, you can turn all of this into something!
When it comes to views on life, few things are objective facts. We all have to experience pain, being sad or angry about it and expressing it is natural, and it's fine unless you take it out by inflicting harm on others or yourself. In my opinion, what's bad is when being "positive" is just denying that things can be bad, acting like if you're sad about something when there are good things in life you're "ungrateful" even though every life had good and bad in it. There's nothing wrong with having fun, doing things that are comforting or relaxing. But it's wrong when you care more about being happy and having fun more than you care about having a healthy lifestyle. People who just want to be happy all the time won't do great in the real world. You shouldn't try killing yourself. I think you don't really want to die, you just don't want to suffer. By trying to make it out by dying you risk causing yourself more suffering. Any updates on the guitar by the way?
I'm going to find out today how much money I made in tips over the weekend... I'm going in to work early in hopes I can afford the guitar at the pawn shop next door. Thanks for remembering, you're awesome
No, I didn't know that. But it's true, so I have no reason to complain, I guess. As it is it's pretty much the only thing I want to talk about... I'm thinking out loud about how to fix the problem. I wish I had someone to talk to about it, and obviously, having my speech literally restricted for asking for help, even obliquely, is half the reason I don't want to go on with this. I'm literally not allowed to speak freely about what I'm thinking and feeling... kind of makes everything else seem pretty pointless
Drugs wouldn't be a good help because they give you short-term satisfaction only for you to feel worse when the high ends. I'm not a doctor, so don't see this as a diagnosis or anything, but it kind of sounds like you're depressed. Your life is worth it, don't kill yourself. That'd be throwing away any chance you'd have to experience good, so don't no matter how bad it feels. Now I have a spare acoustic guitar so I could try posting it to you, if I can? You ask who you're playing for, but you don't need to be playing for someone else. You can play for yourself.
I was just thinking again about wishing I had a guitar... I don't want to cause any trouble for anyone I don't do anything for myself, as a rule... I mean... I guess it's not a rule, exactly. But I can't imagine doing something that's only for me and not for anyone else
The people I love don't believe I deserve to be happy or comfortable If I feel good I'm letting them down I wish I had some other way to see it, I'm trying to figure out how to be some other way
@@darthrosinathedumbassI actually think I may be able to buy a guitar as soon as Monday, if the cheap guitar I saw at a pawn shop, is still there... Thank you so much for offering to send me a guitar The guitar I used to have was the last thing my father ever gave me, and I had to just leave it in a ditch in Florida, I was too weak to keep carrying it... I'm afraid it might just be ruined for me, like reading. But I played someone else's guitar for a few minutes a couple of weeks ago and I felt better for days So I can think of something that makes me feel better and hopefully I'll be able to fix the problem, now, quicker than anyone else could help, by sending me a guitar Thank you so much
My PC 's audio is broken so I had to watch with only auto generated subs, sorry if I miss anything. I don't think there's really negative and positive, because you never really know what life could give you. What happens, happens. But you can take what happens and keep going, instead of simply giving up. Life and fate have no morality, they can be cruel sometimes and it can be kind other times. Don't expect something of it.
