Lights... Camera... ACTION!!: A Hollywood Quest

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

So we have some bad news.

The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it
TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

I'll see you all around.

With so many regards, Duke William Of.

So the Soviets did not try to cheat.

It was some organized crime instead.
East Enders? I feel like it was some East Ender gang that were pissed that an Irishman was climbing the ladder so fast–
No that's just the Italian mafia and gamblers

The odds for us winning were insane. Like the Vegas odds of someone beating us was around 70,000 to 1.

Compared to the 5 to 1 odds for us.

We were that dominant
Ah.

I was kinda hoping for a subplot about the IRA running interference on the East Enders for trying to screw over one of the lads in the background, but oh well...that does give me an idea for a heist movie.
 
Say what has Carrie been using her money on?
I actually haven't rolled for that so let's find out.

Carrie's Hobbies:D20 => 20

Mother-

Carrie's hobby 1: D20 => 17
Hobby 2:D20 => 2
Hobby 3:D20 => 19

So in addition to all her other skills she does

Surfing.
Knitting
And finally…
Sweet Jesus, she is into baseball?

Oh god, poor Bruce he has to suffer dodger memorabilia in his Yankee household.
Common O'Brian W. Shame we couldn't be involved in making the album, but it seems that allowing her some space and privacy helped to make another multi-platinum album. Crazy how Carrie isn't even 20 yet and she's about to have more success than both her parents combined. Guess she really does have the luck of the Irish ever since she met Bruce, lol. Well hopefully we can at least produce some singles with her
That's what happens when you find someone you love deeply, who trusts you and cares for you without question and also helps you overcome your fears.

That kind of love that only happens with true and utter trust.

Oh and the fact they fuck like bunnies but that's for a later time.
Magoose, which singer OTL would you say Bruce resembles to the closest? It would be really cool if Bruce becomes a classic rock musician
Dean Martin and it's not even close.

Why would the IRA not bet on Bruce that's easy money!

Anyway the IRA have its own subplot to come. You will know when it happens.

I figured that they...did I say something wrong? I meant that they'd be fighting the East Enders to prevent them from enacting the faulty piss test on the basic principle that Bruce is a gorram legend of the Fighting Irish (btw, honorary degree when?) not to mention related to quite a number of their own (and screw them out of a shitload of money), and that there'd be Spy v Spy / Tom & Jerry shenanigans as they fight in the background.

Can't wait!
 
The Tale of Zatoichi

The Tale of Zatoichi
Directed by: Kenji Misumi
Produced by: Ikuo Kubodera
Distribution (USA): Lucasfilms Unlimited
Starring: Shintaro Katsu, Masayo Banri, Ryuzo Shimada, Gen Mitamura


Audience:D100 => 75
CriticD100 => 54
Profits: $3 Million
Lucasfilms Profits: $1.5 Million

After Submersion of Japan it was a nice relief to cleanse your pallet with The Tale of Zatoichi, giving you a nice film to watch before you headed to the Olympics. While Japan sucked at disaster films, at least they could be relied upon to produce good Samurai movies.

The plot was about a blind masseuse and Samurai named Zatoichi who is hired by a Yazuka to defend against a rival Yakuza lord who hired Zatoichi's best friend who has a terminal illness and actually looks forward to fighting Zatoichi so he may die with honor in battle. The fight scenes were pretty cool in how Zatoichi had a unique fighting style for using a katana and martial arts while blind with his super senses, and aside from the fight scenes the movie had a nice mix of slice of life and comedy as a good majority was about Zatoichi living his daily life.

If you were to describe the movie in simple terms, it would be simple fun and a decent popcorn flick. Unfortunately it lacked the perfection and artistry of the Lone Wolf and Cub series, a point that critics used to unfairly blast away at the movie as mediocre, but everything in writing, acting and cinematography was decent with the fight scenes standing out for quality and creativity. If you did have to criticize the film for one aspect though, is that the slice of life and comedy while a good time, at certain parts of the movie went on for too long as if the film kind of forgot it was a crime-samurai film with those aspects disappearing almost entirely in the second act.

Not bad, but not outstanding either. Had Zatoichi been released in a quiet month like January or February you're sure it could have been a decent hit. Unfortunately, it went head to head with the other studio's premiere blockbusters, quite a few actually having been released months ahead of schedule so they wouldn't have to compete against Star Wars. Universal also pulled some business shenanigans to tightly lock the number of theaters who would take on Zatoichi, so a mid performance was the best you could get. Blind samurai tho...maybe you could do some fun with the concept in Star Wars?
 
He's dead Jim.

Also Universal once again showing they're the big bad of the quest. The Demon King lurking in the background as our heroes scurry about.
 

Well looks like Bruce has more lessons for Professor Carrie with surfing, and hopefully it'll be less stressful and they can just have some nice beachside romance and fun together. Also pretty sweet and wholesome that our future gosslings will have some cute clothes made by their mom.

Sweet Jesus, she is into baseball?

Oh god, poor Bruce he has to suffer dodger memorabilia in his Yankee household.

Bruce sees Carrie wearing a Dodgers jersey
"TOODDDDD!!!!"

SMH, even after two years Todd still likes to troll his older brother, lol. Well, at this point in time NL and AL teams never played each other so there's not really any conflicts during the regular season and I guess Bruce can become a Dodgers fan and he probably has Yankee season tickets for his parents and flies back a couple times a year. At least they got something fun to watch for half of the year. Fun fact though, the 1977 World Series sees the Yankees beat the Dodgers 4-2 so there's gonna be some juicy O'Brian-Reynolds civil war during the time, lol.

Tale as old as time and a better love story than anything from fiction to be sure. It's always nice to read about their wholesome love and makes me really glad that Magoose Dice wanted to ship Carrie with Bruce. Quest wouldn't be half as good if it was Bruce and Alison O'Brian.

Speaking of their raunchiness, would Bruce and Carrie ever be down to film love scenes or is that a part of their romance that they wish to keep private? I can only imagine how stressful it must be for George with all the calls for a Han and Leia love scene from crazy O'Brian fans when he wants to keep Star Wars a family friendly franchise.

Dean Martin and it's not even close.

Damn, we got a really fine voice. Hmmm...sadly a little too deep for most classic rock songs, but we're perfect for romance and smooth jazz and can do a lot of Dean and Frank Sinatra covers. Carrie will probably have a great time coming for duets for the two of them and since most of her OTL singing was stage work, swingers and classic pop Bruce having a Dean Martin voice would work incredibly well with her.

Also something cool that could happen in the near future is our technique being helped by Dean Martin himself. Apparently Carrie was close friends with Dean's youngest child Gina Martin with the two being childhood close friends and being in a lot of the same classes, so Carrie and Dean are probably on good terms and I'd imagine that he'd be pretty interested in a rising star who sounds like him in his prime.

Oh and one more thing:

Warner Bros:D100 => 1

They might have recovered they just need one good but oh no!:

UNIVERSAL WITH THE STEEL CHAIR!

Uh oh. Either Universal managed to have Superman aborted in pre-production or the IRS pissed on the grave by arresting most of the corporate leadership to give it even more of an ungraceful death. In addition to Star Wars, I'm really hyped for the Warner partition to see what great franchises we can acquire.
 
Well, we can at least save the Superman production and make sure that it doesn't go to the studio who decided to make those sequels to the duology. Perhaps we could even keep Richard Donner on the Director chair.

I still want us to buy Marvel and get their IP's, but at the very least I want Superman to make it.
 
If we buy Marvel and DC we can do Crossovers between them maybe even make their universes as one
Both sides have different ideas of the Multiverse, but I'd still prefer if both sides remain separate. Crossovers are fine though , would make it easier but i still feel that if we get one we should not get the other. Keep the competition thriving between them.

Who'll be Earth 1, whose Earth 2? Or do we say no to numbers, and go with letters, ala Earths Aleph and Bet?

I say regardless of which plays out, "our world" is Earth Null.

Hey @Magoose how does the Soviets see us as now that we have humiliated them and one punch their Star Boxer
Not well.

Hell they might even try to boycott Star Wars because we're an "Undesirable"

Cue sweaters every Christmas, like we're the Weasley's.

They are not that lewd and would literally quiet on the spot if someone tried to do something like that.

It's worse.

They did something far worse then that.

But that will come later.
