Hollywood Update - Steven Seagal first game
The excitement level was high as we took up positions to play paintball at Steven Seagal's house deep in the shadows of a wooded canyon. Seagal, dressed in Smart Parts camos, proved to be an impressive and formidable player. Though he had never shot a paintball gun before, Seagal hunkered down and efficiently took out five foes. Then with deadly accuracy he executed an almost impossible shot, eliminating an experienced player who was under tight cover... unfortunately for the player, two inches of his boot heel were visible --- just enough for Seagal to zero in on.
lol. Playing with Seagal would be great. Anyone wipes, he snaps their necks. (Mad TV reference to anyone who doesn't get it.)

I saw that two days ago at SP.com, what is up with his weird yellow shirt?

I hope his ponytail didn't get in the way of his game...

And as for your snapping the neck refernece that was great.:D do you think he tried to run up any walls?

I just noticed something. IN the first article, they say he picked up an Impy and was hitting everything he was aiming at in his yard, but in the addition, it says "though he had never shot a paintball gun before" :confused:

I wonder what they mean by "experienced." Steven isn't exactly in impressive shape. Of course, most painbtallers aren't, either, so I guess it isn't a factor. Of course, it was his yard, so he had better have cleaned house. Home field advantage doesn't get much stronger than that.

And what's that supposed to mean?;)

Er, what's your idea of impressive shape?

[rx2]

It is hard to say, actually, when taking into consideration that paintballers can vary greatly. Also, with obesity rampant, I guess that he really isn't that bad off. However, Steven is getting up there in age. This, in addition with the fact that he has put on a bit of weight, creates what would seem to be a rather disfavorable physique for current styles of play, which tends to be faster than it used to be. Granted, his training helps with the reflexes, but damage to neurons and demyelination take their toll after a while, slowing down reflexes beyond what training can restore. He never seemed very dexterous in his lower body, either. So, when they say he cleaned house his first time out, even against seasoned playes, it seems odd considering the above factors. Of course, anything is possible in a game like paintball.

What is SP going to say?

"Yeah Steven sucks but atleast the gun looks good, right?."?

Or the patented

"I think the seasoned players were whiping."?

Come on it's SP, they are known for outrageous claims. Surprising considering the performance of their guns is not bad.

When it comes to getting attention, being outrageous is often the best thing to do.

Wow in the article on the site it says they pitched a "Paintball Feature Film" and a "Paintball Reality Series!" That rocks!!! The film was picked up by a major holywood studio.

That is very true, but the whole article was marketing hype and little else.

Are you aware of how many “pitches” get made for things in Hollywood? LOL Making a pitch means absolutely nothing. And the way they word “found a home” does not lead me to believe it will actually be made. It MIGHT, but until contracts are signed and shooting begins, nothing has really happened…. Heck even shows that get totally shot don’t always leave the cutting room.

The same with when they said:

In the middle of the week we picked up something totally unexpected---a potential relationship with Special Effects Unlimited to provide guns for the movie Terminator III.
Sounds great, but means nothing. We are all potential winners of the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes too! ;) I have been at a few of these types of “meetings” and it probably was a nice chit-chat and what-ifs session, but little else. “Let’s do lunch.” does not always mean you will actually end up eating lunch with someone… most of the time it is simply a way of saying “Good bye.” :D

The article looked to me like a bunch of Newbies getting impressed over things that happen every day in Hollywood. They had a great time, but act like my teenage kids coming back from a trip with their friends. Be careful what you read, and don’t read into it any more than common sense would dictate. But they are counting on people reading into it though.. ;) That’s what makes a simple field trip into a life-altering event. ;)

As X-Plosive eluded to… be careful what you read from these guys.

I saw that too on Smart Parts site. His Impulse is the crap. I think its pretty good. He looks like the bad arse type of paintballer.

I just hope you're not one of those guys who's bald on top and has a ponytail just to make up for what you're lacking upstairs...:p
