Interesting. I've heard people say "In like flint" before too. I guess that comes from gravel being brought out and having pieces of flint mixed in with it. I still don't understand "In like Flynn". I mean, Errol Flynn just isn't a part of my influence and I can't relate to the saying. Maybe "In like Rob Lowe" would make more sense to me.

I always thought it was sexual... "Inside like Flynn"...

Just like "in there like swimwear"... which (I think) refers to the weggies that females get when they go swimming in there revealing swimwear. =B Sometimes guys. ROFL

Actually, I think THAT term came to life with the James Coburn movie:

can't be. It first appeared in print in 1946, 21 years before In Like Flynt, which was playing on the phrase.

WWII pilots used it to mean "everything is cool" or "you've got it made" and when poled by a university prophesor as to what it meant they said it had to do with Erol Flynn's easy handling of tough situtions in his movies, but it could be that they just didn't want to say it had to do with his abilities to get in young girls pants in the middle of class in the 1940's.

..... well, I guess it's official now- I'm in. (Envision and I are teaming up again.) Should be interesting as I'll be in italy for 3 weeks and then he'll be in aruba for a week ...
 
it'd be awesome if you could work in some small part of the storyline -- just a couple of shots or something and shoot that in Aruba -- instant production value :thumbsup:
 
No kidding. But it would be a great location. We could have two flash back scenes, on in which the main character is in aruba, and the other in italy. The only trick would be air fare. Do you think we could get someone to fit in a duffle bag and travel with the checked luggage?

Thanks. Now we have our actor who is willing to be cut into pieces, what kind of superhero power would that be?


(BTW- Briceman, when you get a minute, throw me up on the list with Envision. Thanks.)
 
Ryam and Norm, I was thinking maybe your super hero's boss could contact him via a little screen on his watch or in the console of his RYNORMmonbile, and Norm could play the superhero boss like sipping a rum drink out of a cocount or somthing.

INT. THE RYNORMAN MOBILE -- NIGHT

BEEP BEEP
BOSS X appears on the communication screen, he sits in a pool chair and is attnded by native girls.

RYNORMAN: Hello X, I see you're working hard agaion.
BOSS X: Not now Rynorman, The Nanny is at it again -- she's stealing babies left and right.
RYNORMAN: Not ... THE NANNY!
BOSS X: She must be stopped!
RYNORMAN: Leave that to me ... you just enjoy your pina colada.
BOSS X: Damn it Ry-

Too late. Rynorman has cut off the Communuctation screen and engaged teh Rynormanmobile thrusters.
 
Dude .... I'm a little ticked right now.

Seriously ... our site is password protected, so who leaked the script already?!

Shoot, we had a completed 3rd draft too. We'll have to scrap it & start over now. :)
