Johnnn: though
Superdotman: Well, yeah.
Johnnn: ok
Johnnn: so you sata wirte scrit

Superdotman: As a general rule.
Superdotman: (Which can be broken.)
Johnnn: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Johnnn: dude come on
Johnnn: the movie;s real
Superdotman: So is it a retelling of the Kronikkles?
Johnnn: tv shows are hard to make

Johnnn: yea
Johnnn: yea
Johnnn: yea
Johnnn: so cool
Superdotman: Or a further point in the plot?
Superdotman: k
Superdotman: BRB
Johnnn: and then we can enter it into an independiet film festival
Johnnnnn: or something
Johnnnnn: penis
Johnnnnn: eej
Superdotman: So how are we going to authentically recreate the tension-filled atmosphere that is Isse-Lande in the 600s~1200s?
Superdotman: Costumes?
Superdotman: CGI?
Superdotman: Short animated sequences?
Superdotman: Papier mâché?
Superdotman: We totally need a realistic depiction of the Ratte-Kinge.
Superdotman: DUUUUUUDE
Johnn: A-hoy-hoy!
Superdotman: Yo yo yo!
Johnn: cool costumers
Johnn: and cheap special effects
Johnn: to add to the humour
Superdotman: Of the digital or physical variety?
Superdotman: Good idea, making them for humorous intent.
Johnn: :O
Johnn: physical is so much dausd
Johnn: i like@
Superdotman: Does 'dausd' have a positive or negative connotation?
Johnn: sama'
Johnn: good
Superdotman: Oh k.
Johnn: kasa
Johnn: kouko
Johnn: mara
Superdotman: I'm terribly sorry, but you're going to need to aim your fingers a bit better to make me understand what you're saying.
Johnn: ou sa soera
Johnn: shal is war the sama or sau toao
Johnn: sem?
Johnn: oi asa
Johnn: asa!
* Superdotman no te compronde.
Superdotman: *comprende
Johnn: sorry
Johnn: i meant
Johnn: do you want to sratt on the script?
Johnn: :O
Johnn:
Superdotman: Oh, start.
Superdotman: Not right now.
Superdotman: I'm making concept art.
Johnn: :O
Johnn: can i make concept atr as well
Superdotman: If you so desire.
Superdotman: It's your story and all.
Superdotman: And movie.
Superdotman: And pretty much everything.
Johnn: :O
Superdotman: So do you visualize these characters at all when you write the characters?
Superdotman: Or just the concepts?

tl;dr: So yeah, over the summer, we're making a live-action Kronikkles of Desmond movie based on the book, without a TV show first, complete with physical (not CGI) special effects that will be cheesy for both comedic effect and budgetary reasons. And it will have the music in this video as title music.

I would totally act in this movie, and would donate the aid of my video-camera to the cause if needed.
