Looking for taklent baby!!!!!


I am looking for a stunning modell to play the partt of a actres in {insert film here}
I am not a machine- infact, the only reason I put {insert film her} is because you get to chose whic film it is as long as:
-it is titanic
-it has watar
-it is funny/ a bestsellor

Obviously you have to be hott…
-Kaly

Well, obviously you have to be hot. And, you can choose any film you want, as long as it’s Titanic! Although, she may have meant her list to be an and/or list, which would mean you could also choose any film that has watar. An IMDb search reveals that there is a Japanese actor named Tetsuya Watari; perhaps Kaly would like you to choose a film from Watari’s filmography?

And then there’s another post by the same person (the same email address was listed as the reply to address), posted three minutes later in community > artists:

I need U!!!!!


RLLY!!!!
I just need ??//??//??

KTHNXS

You can see why it took her three minutes to compose this thoughtful masterpiece.

Thanks for the two ads, David!

    Looking for “taklent baby”? Is that anything like a thalidomide baby? If so, no sense in this person looking anywhere else but the mirror.

    I mean RLLY.

        Ooooohhh…*shudder*

        I have seen a Youtube video of a harlequin baby. Ever since, it has occasionally shown up in my nightmares.

        Viewing such things on Youtube never ends well- as I am always compelled to check out the “related videos” and last time, ended up watching a video of a small child in the throes of full-blown rabies.

    … Still shuddering over {insert film her} … ew.

    Another thought: “stunning modells” [sic] tend, if they want to work, not look at badly misspelled CL ads; they get an agent, don’t they?

    There’s so much to love about these posts. Art Modell has a pretty impressive career, but I don’t think I’d want to see him in Titanic or any movie that has very much “watar.”

    And I can’t help reading “Kaly” as another one of the items in the and/or list: could have watar; could be gigantic/gargantuan/titanic; could be Kaly.

    But the thing I find most disturbing about this pitch is that the movies seem to be inserted into her: “{insert film her}.” So, is this movie going to be shot using colonoscopy technology? Is that watar going to be inside the human body?

    What an opportunity to build up a film resumé!

    They want a “bestsellor” involving water huh? Well do I have the idea of a life time. The setting: a bathtub. The characters: a rubber ducky, colored bubbles, a Little Mermaid doll, a toy boat and some ice cubes. The plot line: there is none, they all just hang out and float around, occasionally bumping into each other. The sound track will be done by all the hip obscure indie bands, and Coldplay. The title: Bathh Timme: Waht Heppens Wehn U Lev teh Roomm.

    I have a feeling we’ll make millions if we market it to the hipster crowd.

        And a LOT of closeups of the quirky main characters face, making befuddled “I am so QUIRKY” looks. In this case, Mermaid Doll.

        No, no. This masterpiece will be written and directed by my 6 year old nephew. The script will be easy as the only thing he can write is his name (barely), so we won’t have to worry about voice acting which will save a ton of money.

        Instead of regular ice we’ll use dry ice to give it a nice layer of fog, and for kicks we’ll throw in some strobe lights randomly with a good techno beat behind it.

        There will be lots of close ups for dramatic effect for you Meredith.

          And having a six year old write it is what I think most indie hipster directors actually do.

          It’ll also help for the credit sequence at the beginning, because everyone knows that if it looks like a little kid drew all the names and misspelled, then the movie has “heart”.

          My thoughts exactly Meredith. Also, if there happen to end up being any speaking lines in the movie they should all be done by him and his friends. They all have speech disorders so it would be hard to understand, that way we could have subtitles! No indie flick is complete without subtitles.

    “-it is titanic……-it is funny/ a bestsellor”

    Ah yes, that award winning comedy, Titanic. I never actually saw it, but I can imagine just how funny the story of a foretold and preventable disaster would be, what with all the screaming, and the drowning, and the panic. Yes, it is due for a hilarious remake…possibly starring Cuba Gooding Jr. It’ll be just like Boat Trip 2!!!

    And this “hott/stunning modell” PLAYING the part of an actress should push it right over the edge and into Oscar territory.

    p.s. Is it just me, or, if you’re playing the part of an actress…doesn’t that then MAKE you an actress???

      There were actually parts of Titanic that just about had me on the floor laughing. Mind you they were all at the most inapropriate times (i.e. Leo DeCaprio’s frozen, lifeless body being pushed from the door into the watery depths).

          I told him that it was pretty good, all the way up to the UFO abduction, which really ruined it for me.

    We used a taklent dummy during football practices. We used a baby sometimes instead of a ball. A few of the guys who’d suffered a few too many concussions occasionally mixed them up, hence the term “taklent baby.”

      I wrote a comment on a student’s poem last night while I was falling asleep at my desk. It is totally incoherent, but all the words are spelled right.

      …Moreover, there are questions of “re-seeing” the piece. The second and third stanza [crossout] And it’s [crossout] in the first half of the poem that you need original language formulas & phrasing as they got the other half to get over.

          There was also the issue with our elderly cats (18 at the time) urinating all over the in-class finals, which people INSISTED on doing in ink, even though it was a statistics exam and almost no one got the questions correct the first time….

    Notice that the “t” in “titanic” is lower case. This person is obviously looking for a modell from a movie that is “titanic” in nature, i.e. of or about Titans.

    That can only mean one thing- Ursula Andress, the hott, stunning actress who played Aphrodite in the epic 1981 bestsellar/comedy “Clash of the Titans.” (which, by the way, had watar…)

      I think you’re on the right track. However, since it was posted by “Kaly,” I’m reminded of Калин-царь in the 1956 Soviet anti-Mongolian film The Sword and the Dragon. If that’s the case, he’s using the Titans as a sort of Jungian archetype for all mythical/cosmic warriors.

    Obviously! We don’t want any un-sexy babies playing the parts of actresses or modells in your watar movie. OBIOUSLY!

    (I wrote this under the impression that the poster was looking for a talented baby- Baby Titanic? Like Anne Geddes only replacing actors with babies instead of putting babies in flower pots.

    2. Apparently this model-actor will be PLAYING THE PART OF AN ACTRESS. This reminds me of the person seeking the person who bought the person who bought some rabbits.
