I already don't like the movie I have to tell. Russia (the equivalent Soviet Union) invaded my country three times in history - we don't really need a fourth version of this story.
We finally joined the NATO and the EU - why not once in the history of the last say 500 years let us be on the winning side?
I second the motion...Yuk Russia

Well, guys, it's not the same (and I didn't mean that). I just don't need another invasion.
It's easy for the US to fight with Russia (or Germany or whoever) - in Europe. -

If the project ends up getting dumped, well what did you lose (other than time).
Sounds great, I've got so much time I don't know what to do with it!
I thought about working for a living, or spending my time socialising or educating myself or hanging out with my girlfriend, or travelling... but instead I think I'll spend it all working to help you; a complete stranger, with a "film" project which may, in your owns words, end up "getting dumped".If only I hadn't cancelled my Facebook account... oh well.

This is the first post I've noticed that's getting nasty!
From this point on I wish to point out that being Irish requires me to remain neutral to any warmongering whether real or imaginary.

Not getting nasty, just poking fun at the notion that time is our least valuable commodity.
-
A movie about Russia is notably naturalistic…, because, since Peter the Great, Russia invaded continuously w/ wild military forces, wild communism, wild gasoducts and so on…
-
Well in this movie, Russia is defending not attacking, USA becomes so High tech they get greedy.
-
...is defending vodka!

Because you're too stupid to win?
You were told who the winning side was and still didn't know what to do.
-
That sounds very harsh John. Am I mis-reading it?
-
The comment comes across harsher than it's meant. It's meant in a tongue in cheek way.
-
Bloody hell John, that just sounded obnoxious. What have Gaieus and/or Hungary done to you? If it was meant humourously, I don't get it.
-
try this jackson.

Of course changing the content of the message (even with smilies) changes the tone. I'm sure John has also mastered the use of smilies, but all the
in the world wouldn't magically change the phrase "Because you're too stupid to win?" in reference to Hungary having been repeatedly invaded by Russia into anything other than a personal and/or racial insult.No John, I'm not accusing you of being a racist, but that comment could certainly be perceived that way.

Neither Gaieus or Hungary has ever done anything to me.
I'll try and explain.
The original poster wants a collaborative art project. In this project, he wants a sci-fi scenario that turns the Hollywood staple of the USA always winning on its head. Russia will be the victor in this story.
Gaieus jumps in, says he hates the story and is sick of his country losing all the time and being invaded. "why not once in the history of the last say 500 years let us be on the winning side?"
Hungary could easily be on the winning side if it simply sides with Russia in the story. As this story has yet to be written, Hungary could be the hero of the story. Hungary could be the reason the good Russians defeat the evil Americans.
But instead of that Gaieus decides he doesn't want to be in. He's whining about 500 years of always being on the losing side. Whining about being on the losing side when you know the score in advance is a bit stupid, isn't it?
I was thinking of appearing in the game as a diplomat, but I guess I've just lost the role.

Sigh guys. I did understand that John was not calling me stupid and was only joking although I have to admit Jackson has a point that it could've been perceived that way...
Let's talk about the movie instead.
-
I hope the project goes well, but to tell you the truth, the only people that know how to use Sketchup well in our group is me and a friend of mine. The rest help out, but it's not the kind of help we need.
-
Count me in. But only if the movie will have transvestite aliens and Russia is lead by lesbian amazons, preferrably two-headed.
If so, I sign up.That is, if it fits my agenda shooting those other movies I am doing. 'Greek Zombies From Afghanistan' will be a blast. Look out for that one. The zombies win.
