How many films is Peter in that anyone has seen or are good?
More than you will ever be. Where are you on IMDb. Nowhere you fat arsehole.Quote:

Oh wow, so this is actually one of Peter's accounts - I'd been ignoring it on the assumption that it was parodic, given as how the posts had been brief, to the point, and vaguely coherent, but the clearly nonsense response here does look like potatohead's work. Considering an IMDb profile you paid for and wrote yourself an achievement, and some sort of shibboleth of acting quality is like considering yourself a journalist because you had an advert printed in the local free paper.Quote:

Let's check in on the ghost of Peter past...
Quote:
I think I am "pegged" which is why I keep being caught in a devil's circle. Even if I get new nicknames online, there's always a trail due to how open I am. It's like I'm the leper and it's somehow always made to be a relevant big deal if I harass people, but if people harass me, they get away with it all the time. I suffer. They just laugh.
I'm basically an established loser who has already exhausted all his chances. That's not to say it's 100% my fault this happens. I'm supposed to stay cool no matter how many times people try to ruin my life. Yeah, right. Not one person cares about my problems, though. If I tell people I'm a victim of a series of true injustices or that I suffer from depression, but as a result of that, get a hard time from others anyhow, they all run a mile. This year alone, I've been blacklisted from a BDSM venue for saying stuff on an adult forum which the owner was informed about, plus a horror films related Meetup group because I said I was in prison, and some Facebook stuff concerning a zombie film I was in, because A, I say too much and B, I react aggressively to bullying, because I'm easily baited. It's like I want to be correct no matter what. They know it bothers me, so they do it all the more. How I feel about something is different to how others see it.
But now I'm at my wit's end. I don't see any point in going on, really, because change is too difficult. I don't even get help, and I don't think I can fight my anxiety alone. I'm not able to go to places by myself, and there is NOT one person who helps me. When I do try to be social, I am ridiculed and misunderstood all of the time, so the list of "haters" grows bigger. I feel agoraphobic outdoors. And I cannot combat anxiety without meds, but I don't want to be a meds junkie either. So I'm basically an Internet junkie instead. I'm online pretty much all day long on forums, YouTube, or something else. I don't have friends to hang out with, apart from a man who is 55. That is it.
Like I said, I'm cancelling my IMDb subscription because people are just screwing up my page. I have until 15 December to unsubscribe, or I'll be billed over £120. I've bitched about it on the "Get Satisfaction" support message boards, but nobody cares. Oh and maybe adding my location, images, and date of birth on IMDb wasn't very bright, but others do that, so why not me? Why should I miss out on the very same opportunities other people take for granted? How is that fair?
I'm honestly sick of other people's dog's abuse. I've realized there is little point in trying anything that involves my race. I've gave away too much details. The bullies have broken me. I'm just gonna have to get a private flat somewhere, drink bleach, and die. It's the only way I'll be free from this crap.
Or if that's too vintage - how about this gem from just a few years ago.

Trust me when I say I want to forget about what happened. I could care much less if I never saw any of these people again. But I have all this junk on my record that could prevent me from getting jobs for several more years. A lot of agencies for film extras state that you have to register on their websites, fill in all the red tape, and submit up to date DBS information, and that is mandatory for all their talent. So I am basically probably going to be missing out on opportunities to get a part in a major film as a blurry dot in a crowd, because I got mad at two people that I believe wronged me. It may not seem like a big deal because it's just extra work and a lot of people may not even be visible on screen in the final cut, but some of these movies are high profile feature films that would look great on their IMDb page.
The summary on my disclosure paperwork has racism, sexual harassment and stalking as the convictions, which is why I was sent to Barlinnie in 2015. I was only being like that because I was mad at being betrayed. If I could do it all over again, well... I would have been upset, but maybe I could have gotten something done about it had I known how. Even other inmates in prison thought it was 'petty' that I was doing time for that.
The protection hall in my local jail had no room at that time, and I was fully committed, so I could have been in jail for months, which ended up being what occurred. If I had not contacted any of them again, it would have been wiped from my record in 2020, because the restraining orders were granted for the ladies and one of their ex-boyfriends in 2015 to run for a total of 5 years. But last year, a sheriff in Livingston where this Spanish lady apparently may be living now, extended it to 10 years, and I was sentenced to 70 days in jail. But before I was up for release, another sheriff from my neck of the woods, gave me a concurrent sentence because I did not carry out unpaid work from earlier last year, but that was in regards to a different case where I was repeatedly contacting a singer on Twitter, that I used to be a fan of. He was the lead singer of a band called Wah! over 30 years ago, and we got on great to begin with, then he turned against me. This hurt me deeply, as the guy was like a "hero" to me. It made me feel like crap.
When I asked the officers in jail why I was going to Barlinnie when they gave me zero notice at all, they said I was down as a sex offender, so I could not stay there. And that day, my mother had been booked in for a visit and she had to be told I was being transferred to Glasgow. All I did was say to the women in emails that I was going to have sex with someone, and record us doing it. That was it. Even my supervisor told my mother that was wrong what they did, when they made up that hooey about me being a sex offender. But great insults can last a long time. The one I got from that other support worker about Eddie Guerrero being a (vulgar word for vagina) has really stuck with me, and some of the other things he said was pitiful as well. They likely fired him, but they would not reveal whether that happened or not.
In fact, the bosses kept saying to me that I could not bring escorts into my flat. Once I had no money and I told them that this was the reason why I was skint, and they said I would be thrown out if I did it again. I eventually complained to an agency about recruiting responsible sex workers for disabled people, called the TLC Trust, and I explained that it was not illegal to invite a woman into my home for intimacy. So they called them and the staff said it was fine. But if I had never challenged it, they would have kept acting like I was doing something wrong. It did not matter in the long run, because I never went back. When I was on bail, they barred me from even collecting my mail or walking near that street, and as I said, they conjured up a story to get me to willfully declare away my tenancy, after saying I had rent arrears that the council was supposed to be paying for me. Hence why I keep saying they're serial liars.
And like I said, all manner of people were blabbing behind my back, being a stool pigeon, or sending me emails pretending to know my ex. As in, the girl I met years ago who kept using me to buy her goodies from an Argos store, who had also been taken me for a sucker, and whatnot. She even left me along a canal once, telling me to wait around on her returning, and she never came back. Her excuse was that she visited her friends, and fell asleep. So... I have had it really tough.
Sounds like it started out well...

So far, I have had '0' "acting" gigs. Only shit-stirrers mucking me around.
The other month there, this guy asked me to help him produce a film. It was probably a scam. He boasted that he used Facebook and had a Kickstarter page coming when I slated his highly questionable ad, and he could only get emails through a Gumtree contact form in an ad which later was deleted, so go figure.
Another person from a university wanted people to pledge money to make a movie about war, yet the original ad made no mention of the project's Indiegogo campaign or its social media sites.
I just stumbled across them after I applied to be a soldier through StarNow and I got my hopes up. I also purchased 40's style glasses since I have myopia, and got rejected. Upon asking for feedback, the director (a lady) said the other applicants had more experience and that was why I got turned down. Yet the ad said no experience was needed. So I think she rejected me over my having a touch of autism, even if I am not going to know the truth. One look at my videos perhaps indicates that my disability could cause a hindrance. Now they had to cancel it recently due to the "key assets" backing out at the last minute. Serves them right. They boasted that Legion Scotland was backing them, but they just had too many bright ideas and no funding. You should get everything planned out prior to looking for a cast. So many film amateurs do the same thing. They keep falling short of the mark because they are ambitious, but sloppy.
Another person emailed me about a week's worth of work coming up soon, but has yet to email me the exact time and location of each, and the names of the projects would be useful. Well, I have not received a reply and I really won't hold my breath here.
Another guy had to cancel his short thriller film allegedly due to bad weather and then said no extras were needed now. Even their logos for their production companies look fake and photoshopped. Jesus!
I do not know what these people are up to, but they seem very unreliable and disorganized. Nobody should put up a casting notice until after they have attracted some interest first. It would be the smarter thing to do.
Another person has an ad for a horror film and this person promises to pay people only if it gets produced. So what does that tell you? It may not be made at all and I am sure after 10 March, I will be informed that it is not going ahead any longer, or I will get some excuse.
I honestly think the acting world has too many scammers, and people that muck wannabe stars about with false promising.
And continued in much the same vein(Fuck me, if Peter think's Frank's a misogynist he must be bad!)Quote:
Basically, I'm a beginner (with limited experience) in the indie film industry who hopes to one day get a line in a feature film, but I'm also happy just being an extra as well, but I know most websites that charge a joining fee seldom have any jobs on offer. Being an extra is supposedly not glamorous to many actors out there, but we all "have to start at the bottom" as they say.
Like, you could be a registered member of say, Mad Dog Casting and get no texts/emails/whatever in months, if anything crops up at all. That is to be expected. Even when I did get text messages from Universal Extras about stuff (and I've been with them for almost 2 years), they wouldn't explicitly say what the job was for, but none of what they text me about sounded interesting anyway. Well, they would describe what they wanted you to do, but it was really vague otherwise. Sites like StarNow, Fame Street, and Gumtree are hot garbage.
Over the years, I have been plagued by severe anxiety, and I am prone to adrenaline rushes, which in turn make me feel a bit on edge. Travel anxiety. Social anxiety. Motion sickness perhaps. Just anxiety overall. In fact, I never go to busy places much if I can help it, and going on public transport provokes miniature panic attacks, so you can probably tell I have no social life whatsoever, and I also endlessly worry a lot about past events that 100% cannot be changed now. It could be related to bullying and betrayal I've suffered through (both online and in real-life) and the fact I have not found much happiness in my life. I'm very stressed out in my life because I have had tons of problems to deal with, so my self-esteem is very low. Plus, I do not have my own house yet and social services are not helping me at all.
Last year, I could have been an extra in a few short films and maybe even a student feature film, and I'm disappointed that I missed out because I would have perhaps gotten a copy of the work as well as an on-screen credit. Generally, if you message people on Facebook and mention legal issues, or try to justify bouts of perceived unfairness and/or rant about anxiety to strangers, they ain't exactly gonna want to be your chums. But I just feel kind of...stuck!
I do have an IMDb profile, but it looks empty because I am not subscribed any more to the pro version, because it is only free for 30 days and then you have to either pay a monthly or annual fee to retain the pro membership. But why bother if you are a total nobody? Plus, IMDb are very picky about pages that consist of nothing but uncredited work. To be honest, I don't want to be an extra in just anything either. I'd need to like the story/theme, but sadly if something comes up, I keep missing out as I act like a chicken on the day of the shoot. And I'm in Edinburgh, so work is very few and far between as it is.
Unfortunately, due to said anxiety, I feel I cannot go to things like this by myself. When I ask my family members to go with me, they make excuses. Some are genuine. Some debatable. I've also got an older friend who is 55 who did drama with me in a special needs class many years ago. However, it's the same thing: He makes excuses about going with me, because he is a bit of a misogynist and being anti-social himself, he cannot be bothered with activities that don't fund his hobbies. All he thinks about is his model railway.
I have a condition like autism, and I had support workers for years, but this was long before I became interested in movie making. Unfortunately, there was a huge legal matter that occurred because I got feelings for some women who supported me and it was a very long ordeal where I felt I was made to make the best of a bad deal. Well, I don't particularly want to cast it up again. Then I had new support workers in early 2016 that I felt were just being utilized more as stool pigeons than paid assistants. They were also not able to arrange support sessions for extras work. The social services in my city pays the "helpers" £16 an hour, but they claim they cannot just pay an aide to sit around or escort me to and from a movie set, but I tried telling them it's my life and choices, and they could join in too. But he just dictates to me that this is not possible.
Furthermore, I had issues on social media. I was in a zombie film and after requesting that a friend be reinstated into a group, a moderator or ex production assistant removed me too and made up a story about me bugging people just to get rid of me. Then due to her position, my Facebook "friends" turned on me. Thereafter, I noticed people were messing about with my IMDb credit for the film, by deleting it. After much delaying, IMDb personnel assured me they were on the case, so it has since ceased. On top of that, I got a bit ratty with an actress on Twitter because she blocked me over a comment about those people. After that, I rejoined, all guns blazing. Then she started messaging randoms so they would blacklist me from casting me in their movies. For i.e. recently when I messaged a guy about being an extra in his new film this year, he immediately blocked me. So I signed up again to view his friends since that felt odd, and I saw she was a follower. So it seems she is being spiteful, messaging everybody within reach to get them to believe what she says.
I don't suppose my reputation can be repaired now that I'm being slandered like that behind the scenes. Or can it?
"Not that great" - indeed
