Yes folks, you heard it hear first... Craig Amabello found a job as an editor at a Boston productionfacility!
Do you know what this means?
I can finally stop beating up & robbing helpless old ladies as they leave Wal-mart with their prescriptions... I mean money.
I no longer have to sell crack to school children... (kids these days aren't really into crack that much because they are all high on mommies prescriptions from Wal-mart)... Remember, Wal-marts the kinder, gentler people store... They won't allow dirty words, or nudity that would pervert fragile little minds... But they have no problem selling GUNS & DRUGS to the Filthy masses to blow holes in both your MIND & BODY!
America... What a concept..... Ya just gotta love the Lunacy of it...
As I now have a full time job editing Commercials for the web I can finally start paying for my real Addiction...... craigstv. I have been attempting to get my web channel off the ground for many years now & it looks like I'm about to start reaching phase one of a multiphase project!
With the pennies I will be earning from my editing gig, I can afford studio time, tape stock, wardrobe & props to kick off my deranged & whacky web shows. It will be quite raw, wild, raunchy, disturbing & yet, artful, delicate, educational, informative & Delicious....
My shows will have lots of Web Cuties.... Hunky men... Serious Humor & wonderful Rock & Roll for the Masses to laugh... Scream... Boo & Hiss at.
I promise there will be something disturbing for everyone. The most discriminating of tastes should be shocked, mortified, horrified & slack jawed once I am through with my over the top Dark, twisted brand of Sickness & humor.
Remember kids... It only took me 3 damn years to find a real job in film & video production on the internet.... I hope YOU people have much better luck than I.
In the mean time if you want to check out a little of what I am all about...
GO TO: http://www.youtube.com AND SEARCH FOR: CRAIG AMABELLO
I have lots of my old stuff up there.... My very first Original "Reality TV Show... (long before such an animal actually existed) & old rock & roll from my old band. I also have several new Vlogs talking about my fall from grace in life & Hollywood & just general garbage that might make you laugh... Smile... Giggle... Or maybe just PUKE!
Who knows... maybe you fine folks of Boston might find it interesting to see what crap pours forth from a demented X-Hollywood Outcast such as myself.
Please check it out & post your comments... I would truly love to know what people really think!
Don't be shy.... Tell it like it is.... Should Craig Amabello be put into a mental Institution? Locked up in prison & throw away the key? Or should I be put on stage as the opening act for Hillary Clinton's Campaign for the presidency of the Untied States of America?
You tell me....... I really, really wanna know what people honestly think.
Am I a misunderstood Genius?... Or just a Moron?
Only you folks can tell me that... & I beg of you to watch my stuff on youtube & post your TRUE feelings.
Well, gotta go... I'm trying to get a hold of Kevin Smith so I can work on his new movie " Zak & Mira make a Porno"..... (Because I do know a thing or 2 about Porn).. Wish me luck & don't give up the good fight.
REMEMBER: We are surrounded by Mental Midgets that think they are giants.... But ignore these cretins... For eventually they will fall down & not be able to get back up.
For I am Craig Amabello.... A Weeble.... Because... Weebles Wobble.... But they Don't Fall down!
Rock On.
Your truly Demented Reporter & X-Hollywood Reject, Craig Amabello
It has been brought to my attention that I appear to be committing Creative & Professional suicide with my very Delicate & Fragile & never even having quite gotten off the ground Film Career.
Even though Death seems to have been hanging around me these last couple of years & people around me have been dropping faster than Elvis & James Dean on a Joy ride with John kennedy in Dallas.... I most certainly have no Intention of Committing Suicide of ANY KIND!....
SO for any of you Ghouls & Thrill seekers that think they smell death & the Putrid, Rotting Decay of a Mal Nourished & twisted mind on display for all to see.... You have most certainly, have come to the Wrong place!
For I am only affecting FREE SPEECH..... ARTISTIC CREATIVITY.... CALLING IT, THE WAY I SEE IT....
FOR I DO NOT CREATE THE WORLDS REALITY..... I JUST COMMENT ON IT!
I have found that most... If not all of the Boston Film people that I have come in contact with are:
FULL OF THEMSELVES.... BRAGGARTS.... & FOOLS...... DELUSIONAL PSYCHOPATHS THAT SEEK TO SUCK THE DREAMS FROM OTHER DEMENTED, LOWER TYPES... & IN THE PROCESS, BUILD THEMSELVES UP INTO SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE NOT.....TO TURN THEMSELVES INTO SOME MAD DEMENTED VISION THEY HAVE OF HOW "TRUE" HOLLYWOOD TYPES ACT & LIVE... BUT BOY, HAVE THEY GOT IT ALL WRONG!
I DO NOT KNOW WHERE THESE PEOPLE ARE BEING FED THIS DERANGED DELUSION OF HOW THEY THINK HOLLYWOOD REALLY IS... BUT THESE SIMPLETONS & FOOLS THAT MIMIC WHAT THEY BELIEVE TO BE THE "REAL" HOLLYWOOD ARE SO INSANELY WRONG THAT IT MAKES THOSE OF US IN THE KNOW.... WANT TO PUKE!
THERE ARE SOME CREATIVE BUSINESS TYPES OUT IN HOLLYWOOD THAT ARE KIND, DECENT HUMAN BEINGS THAT STILL MAKE A FANTASTIC LIVING!
Is it wrong to say what I believe???
What I know to be true???
Is this Suicide??... To speak ones mind??
To say what truly is... As opposed to playing a part of the status Quo that has it all ass backwards, wrong & upside down???
Could I be wrong?... Sure I could..... But I aint!
Am I to be Stoned because I dare to speak my mind?
This is not Professional Jealousy here folks... This is just one man's opinion... ( Mine), & you can take it, or leave it....
All I am speaking about comes from years of attempting to connect with Pro film people out here on the East coast with absolutely NO LUCK AT ALL!
I have tried everything.... Humor... Seriousness... Small talk... Business talk... Jokes... to simply passing out my resume ( a resume, I might ad, that isn't at all very spectacular, but by most standards out here in the Boston circuit... I'm freakin Spielberg! )
So I am left with the completely tormented knowledge that I am NOT QUALIFIED TO WORK FOR EVEN THE MOST LOWELY OF PROJECTS OUT HERE... FOR THE MOST BASIC OF COOKIE CUTTER PRODUCTION COMPANIES ON THE EAST COAST....
When a man comes from Hollywood California... Back to Boston.... & attempts to connect with almost anybody in the local film community... on any level & is practically begging for PA work & still cannot find it...... SOMETHING MUST BE DRASTICALLY WRONG!
I GET ABSOLUTELY LITTLE RESPONSE FROM THE PEOPLE ON THIS BEANYWOOD SITE... (Except a few cool people).
I AM ACTUALLY TRYING TO OPEN A HONEST & REAL DISCUSSION ON BUSINESS ETHICS OUT HERE.....
THE WAY HOLLYWOOD IS PERCEIVED BY NEW ENGLAND FILM WANNA-BE'S....
I LIVED TO SOME DEGREE "THE HOLLYWOOD DREAM"...
ALBIET.... "THE CLASSIC..... HOLLYWOOD DREAM GONE WRONG"... BUT NEVER THE LESS.... I LIVED THE REAL DEAL.... THE HOLLYWOOD LIFE... MAKING MY LIVING IN THE CITY OF LOST ANGELS WHILE THE DEVILS SURROUNDED US DAY & NIGHT.
THESE DEVILS WOULD GET OFF THE BUS EVERYDAY & POINT AT US AS WE MADE MOVIES IN FRONT OF GRAUMAN'S CHINESE THEATRE...
WHILE WE SLAVED AWAY EVERYDAY IN THE LOST CITY OF BRIGHT LIGHTS THAT SHINE DOWN FROM THE HILLS OF MADNESS & BROKEN DREAMS....
LOSING OUR FOOTING ALONG THE WAY... DAY AFTER DAY.... BUT NEVER QUITE FALLING.... & STILL CLIMBING THAT NEVER ENDING MOUNTAIN TO THE TOP OF THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS....
ONLY TO FIND THAT WE WERE STILL... TRULY IN THE GUTTER... & AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE BARREL... & HAD TO START OUR ASCENT ALL OVER AGAIN.... TO REALIZE YET AGAIN... ON ANOTHER DAY... THAT WE WERE STILL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HEAP WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PROGRESS IN SITE....
TO JUST START EVERYDAY.... ALL OVER... TIME & TIME AGAIN... LIKE SOME BAD EPISODE FROM THE TWILIGHT ZONE.... AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL!
THIS IS THE HOLLYWOOD THAT I CAME FROM... THE HOLLYWOOD THAT BEATS YOU DOWN DAY IN & DAY OUT WITH NO HOPE IN SITE......
THEN OUT OF NOWHERE...... BANG!....
A SMALL GLIMMERING HOPE OF ESCAPE COMES YOUR WAY & LIKE A PUFF OF SMOKE IN THE NIGHT....
POOF........ YOUR DREAMS DISSIPATE RIGHT BEFORE YOUR EYES & FADE BACK INTO THE SHADOWS... LIKE THE MIST IN THE NGHT..... FROM THE HOT SANTA ANA WINDS THAT ROLL THRU THE DESERT AT DAWN.
THESE ARE THE VERY THINGS THAT SHATTER YOUR SOUL...... BREAK YOUR MIND..... DESTROY YOUR CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF & YOUR FELLOW MAN.....
& THEN THE DAY COMES THAT YOU HAVE HAD ENOUGH.... THAT YOU CAN TAKE NO MORE OF THIS TORMENTED DAMNATION...
THAT YOU CHOOSE TO COME HOME TO PEACE OF MIND & SANITY.... TO FIND SOLACE IN THE DECENCY OF GOOD OLE HOME TOWN AMERICA!
ONLY TO FIND A DENIZEN OF DEMENTED DREAMERS LOST IN THE WANNA-BE LAND OF THE FAST TRACK HOLLYWOOD SHUFFLE...
AND ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS....................."SCREAM!"
IS IT COOL TO BE FAKE?????
IS IT RIGHT TO ACT WRONG????
IS RUDENESS THE ONLY "SHOW BIZ" WAY???
WHEN YOU PEOPLE HAVE BEEN THROUGH A TENTH OF THIS HOLLYWOOD BULLSHIT...
YOU WILL REALIZE THAT THIS FEMALE... THIS DREAM... THIS WOMAN KNOWN AS "HOLLYWOOD"... IS THE BITCH GODDESS FROM HELL...
& THAT SHE WILL SWALLOW YOUR SOUL ALIVE & SPIT YOU OUT THE BOTTOM...
A WASTED SHELL OF A HUMAN THAT YOU ONCE WERE...
THEN.... & ONLY THEN... MIGHT YOU HAVE A SMALL CLUE AS TO WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH & WHAT I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THROUGH OUT ALL OF MY BLOGS HERE ON BEANYWOOD.....
I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO OVER LOOK & IGNORE PEOPLE'S ARROGANT, RUDE, TO COOL FOR SCHOOL BEHAVIOR ON WHAT THEY 'PERCEIVE" THE REAL HOLLYWOOD TO BE LIKE.....
BUT I AM TRULY FED UP WITH THESE CHILDISH & UTTERLY ABYSMAL HUMAN TYPES THAT FEEL THEY ARE "TRUELY" MEANT FOR HOLLYWOOD.... & WITH THAT......
THEY FEEL THE NEED TO LIVE OUT SOME FAIRY-TALE...GUM SHOE Z-MOVIE VERSION OF WHAT THEY THINK "REAL HOLLYWOOD" IS LIKE!
SO THEY SPEND ALL THERE TIME TRYIN TO MIMIC THE HOLLYWOOD BIG BOYS BY PISSING ON ALL THE SMALL DOGS THAT THEY CAN....
ALL THIS DOES IS BREED ILL WILL.... CONFUSION.... & ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING FOR ANYONE!
WHEN THE HELL ARE YOU UPPITY BOSTON FILM TYPES GOING TO GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR BUMS & OPEN YOUR EYES TO THE REAL WORLD???
A WORLD THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO CRUSH OTHER PEOPLES DREAMS TO GET AHEAD....
A WORLD WERE PEOPLE CAN STILL BE DECENT TO ONE ANOTHER & STILL CREATE SOMETHING GOOD & PROFITABLE...
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT I RAIL AGAINST....
THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT GAUL ME MOST...
UNMITIGATED UNNECESSARY HUMAN RUDENESS!
WAKE UP PEOPLE OF BOSTON......
DON'T LET THE POD PEOPLE TAKE OVER COMPLETELY......
HILLARY CLINTON IS NOT YOUR FRIEND......
DO NOT BE FOOLED BY DEVILS IN MAKE-UP.....
FOR I AM ONE TO KNOW..... FOR I HAVE SEEN THE DARK-SIDE OF THE LONG NIGHT IN THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS...
WHERE VERY FEW....... EVER MAKE IT OUT ALIVE!
All I have been doing these last few years is to attempt to find a way to make a God damn Honest & legal living out here on the East coast in the film community....
& I HAVE FAILED MISERABLY!.....
If you wonder why I appear to have an ATTITUDE.....
Hello my dear Bostonians... Craig Amabello here... Your Truly Twisted & Demented X-Hollywood Reject phoning in from the front.
How are all of you film makers doing out there?
Are you living your dreams?
Are you attempting to live your dreams?
Do you just want to explode sometimes with frustration over not being able to create the Art that you truly know is inside you & SCREAMS to get out?
I know that I DO.... Everyday that goes by without another thing accomplished is truly another day wasted!
I am attempting to change my ways.... Lift my life above this crummy haze of dementia that spills over me like bad Whiskey.
Do any of you ever feel that nobody truly understands you?
Do you just want to get up & scream..... Time for a change!... Time to make my Destiny come true!
I know that I surely do.
I am a lost soul.... A brother of no man... A wandering Rock & Roll Gypsy that has his foot stuck in the big bad bear trap of life!
Time to shake off these shackles & get back to Reality....
Hollywood is calling my name.... I can hear her whispering my name in the winds...
Why won't SHE leave me alone?
Why do I hate & LOVE her so much?
Do any of you ever feel the same way that I do?
Or is it just me?... Trapped in my own mind... Shattered thoughts of Tattered dreams... Running around inside my head while all the rest of the voices Scream...... FEED ME! ... SHOW THE WORLD WHAT YOU CAN DO! ... TIME IS PASSING BY... I have no time to die.. Because I have a vision, A goal, A dream, that can not be shot down from the sky.
All those mean, Bitter, twisted, Hollow, Shallow people that get in my way, try to make me think I am a loser... The world is full of these angry people & I just do my best to ignore them. The Nay sayers shall not change MY visions... For I have a destiny... Show Biz is in my blood... Film Making is calling me... Creative energies just spill out of me, I just need to learn to FOCUS & re-direct my energies to accomplish all of my goals. ( don't let these people get you down folks... They will always be around every corner... Don't let others stop you from living your dreams).
Why is loneliness so bad? Better to be Misunderstood... Than a fool that follows the pack & regrets it on your death bed!
Heres a brief synopsis of my week in rewind...
Shot some great footage & interviews of Motor-cross X-game jumpers last weekend for a documentary that I am doing. (All very cool. Very down to earth people. Especially for guys that spend half of their day Flying, spinning, & jumping thru the air risking their lives like Evel Kneivel could only dream about).
Worked for the ER doctor again on his Documentary on Disillusioned Doctors. Shot some interview footage with his mom & actually asked some good hard hitting questions. (after shooting, I told the doc some stories of my childhood & he & his producer said THEY should be making a documentary about MY life!)
Saw myself on TV again last week in that whacky movie "Army of Darkness". Sam Raimi's 3rd Installment of the Evil dead series. A Cult classic starring my only true Hollywood friend, Bruce Campbell. This movie was shot many, many years ago & I actually am only on screen a few seconds here & there but I still get a kick out of seeing myself on television as I squander my time out here on the east coast struggling to find my place in life.
Heard thru my Hollywood connections that a big time Porn Director by the name of Jim Powers was on the Howard Stern show the other day & they ended up showing some of MY footage that I shot years ago that shows the crazy world of Adult entertainment.
Gotta work (as a lighting guy) on a Bernie & Phil furniture commercial next week shooting some new spots for them.
Today I am back in the studio shooting girls in the Mud pit. (yes, we actually put girls in a mud pit & they then recite some lines of dramatic dialogue as they Submerse themselves completely under!)
Gotta meet a guy next week to start shooting weddings... (yes Weddings... Arghhhhhh... I am such a whore.)
All next weekend I will be shooting Hockey matches for the league. (Hockey, what a disgusting charade. Its just Violence disguised as a sport.)
And that about wraps up my week... Quite a diverse little character I am huh? My life is so surreal, so demented, so utterly boring & yet, exciting at times, that sometimes I just can't do anything but smile & giggle to myself thinking is this a normal life? Do other people live this way?
As I walk this tight rope that is my life juggling kittens, hand grenades & digital content, I always wonder if I am going to fall... Or have I already fallen & I just can't get up?
My life is a bad B movie... & I have to turn it into a billion dollar franchise blockbuster & win over the masses so that my true talent can shine thru & the money piles up bigger than the gold in fort Knox. I know I have it in me... I just gotta get it OUTTA ME!
My best friend thinks that I am insane & that my Ambitions SUPER-CEDE my ABILITIES....
AM I just a fool? A dreamer? A child lost to the world? You bet I am... But it is all I have... It is all I have ever had... My ability to SEE REALITY for what it truly is & to still not let that throw me... Life is to short kids... Ya gotta have fun... Grab life & kick it in the Ass & giggle at the madness that surrounds us all...
The infinite wisdom of the ages is never lost on one such as I... As I watch this country growing closer & closer to the She-Devil that is known as Hillary Clinton I sometimes wonder am I the only one that can sense the madness? Taste the Fear? Nobodies gonna pull the wool over my eyes... The sheep go Bahhh & the Politicians are stirring up their Wicked Caldron of Befuddling madness to confuse the masses with their Bullshit & lies....
We need a new hero... Am I the one? Can I truly take on & accomplish all that I desire? (To create Cool Entertainment for the Befuddled masses), Or am I just a fool with a handful of mud & left over dreams from a bygone era?
Only time will tell.... For I am.... Craig Amabello Hollywoods Lost Child.
Time to PUT UP... Or shut up.
WIsh you all well in your pursuit of happiness & dreams... I sure could use some Positive thoughts.
From your friend on the edge of Insanity... Craig Amabello, your truly demented reporter & X-Hollywood Misfit.
