I finally took some time off to watch them three videos.... WOW, I am honestly amazed and enthousiastic about these!! Good work!!!!!! :grin:
so I'll just be commenting on what I remember from all three of them here, not to reply to three seperate posts :wink:
The part from Dean really touched me... that last statement was very strong! I wish I could feel it that strongly! I'm still struggling with myself a lot (depression, low selfesteem), but it does give me hope I might one day feel that too! thank you!
also the last part of the first video... that was I think the part I liked best!! and I had a question concerning that, cause I loved the sound of that song :smile: - which song is it?
and another question - is it maybe an idea to make these protest-spots for seperate download too?
I have to admit, the comedy part was a bit long for me so I skipped it (plus my sense of humor is more Allo Allo than Monty Python), I do like Mister Bean though! :wink:
maybe for (an)other show(s):
other movies with aspie-like characters.. the film Pi? It's about a scientist with some serious aspie traits (like being good at numbers, computers and pacing in a spiral which triggers his eureka-moments) it's a very alternative film in black and white. I loved it!! I recognized myself in it too, cause I also pace and get eurekas and I love spirituality and alternative science a lot (but I'm not good at math/physics!). here's a link:

and the film AI about the boy who is a robot and wants to be normal because he wants to be loved by his mother as her real son (the story is a bit like Pinocchio). In the end he gets his wish of finding his mother's love fulfilled, but not by becoming normal. You should see the movie. It brought me to tears. I recognize a lot in him, in another way he also resembles the thin man in Oz, because simultaneously with being denied love, he is also denied something else - a heart (as in 'having emotions', 'having a soul', 'being real', 'being human'). I recognize that too, I don't know if others do? In any case, the movie is really good imho.

something about JRC?
If just I had a videocamera, maybe I could film one of the meetings over here!? I think that would represent aspies in a pretty good way (if they agree to be seen online that is) I'll put a video-camera on my wishlist then... :wink: any advices on what videocameras are best... camcorders, digital ones?? I have nooo clue what exists even and what is needed to make digital movies like this!!
Also something else... maybe a series with an ungoing story which a group of us plays (semi-reality based)? Not that roleplaying is my best trait, but we can do it pretty RL based actually, like preparing a demo and doing it. That is then actually real, but we could film it in a suspense way (sitting in semi dark room preparing etc) The Aspie Action Group (or autie rights movement, whatever name we give it), with a leaflet campaign against pro-cure. Sounds like a good topic to film anyways :razz:
well, feel free to take ideas, I was just brainstorming aloud....
good luck & keep up the good work!! *thumbs up*
