Main Event of the Dead: The '2Do' List Is the 'Bucket' List

So, I may not be Schrodinger's Cat. The cat was just chilling out in a box. Cats love boxes. It did not consider the fact about whether or not it would live through the experiment. If it went mad, that's only because that's what isolation will do to you.

Perhaps I was the cat. Maybe I've just gone mad which would explain the focus on the constant chaos (lack of order, not the stuff that they make crappy summer movies from..."Jurassic World") that my life seems to be in. Or the perceived chaos is my resistance towards going mad. I'm trying to bring order to what's beyond my control.

This may just make me Batman. I suppose I could always let go and be Mark Hamill's second greatest character, but I happen to like my darker complexion and I can't maliciously hurt anyone (at least physically, I'm sure there are those who'll volunteer scenarios where I may have left some mental damage...but I refute any malicious nature).

Just because an app is well reviewed and free doesn't me you should download it. I doubt that's what eating up the memory on my iPhone, but "2Do" is eating away at my resolve.

When you have a tool that lets you organize and encourage you to complete task, you get stressed out when you have no tasks to perform. No task to perform, why am I still breathing.

Sorry for the misuse of pronouns. It should be "I" in place of "you." Why would anyone want the Russ Stevens experience? Until they see "Main Event of the Dead," my comedy script about pro-wrestler versus zombies, there aren't any reasons to "peel back my eyes (KMFDM just added "Ultra" to their set list, so lyrics are on my mind). Treatment for the script can be requested at russthebus07@gmail.com.

Now it seems like there maybe more order in my life that I originally thought. "Main Event of the Dead" is the third draft I had completed (fourth that I had started), but it's the first that is ready to go. All that we need to do now is shoot "Guy Does Finishing Moves on Zombies." At least that would give me something to keep "2Do" on the phone.

I think I can afford to pay for the entire production, so any wrestler in Central Illinois who wants to crossover genre, get a hold of me.

And now it's back to being the Cat. Everyone knows that we can get it done, but is it worth the effort. Only way to know is to give me a chance and observe the results.

The "Main Event of the Dead" Test Reel Needs:
  • Someone with some makeup or special effects experience.
  • The true antagonist of the feature is a woman, so an actress to set up the premise of "Main Event of the Dead."
  • Three or four wrestlers to take the finishing moves.
  • One or two wrestlers to deliver the moves.
  • A wrestling ring with a canvas that can afford to be left a little messy. If we can get extra from the crowd-funding campaign, we'll make replacing it a priority.
Since this is an effort to try and make this feature a reality, I can really only afford to compensate what ever is spent to make this video. I am willing to negotiate terms on what compensation will be for performances before the reel goes online. If whatever raised can cover the compensation agreed to, even if I do not reach the goal to produce the film, compensation will be had.
