the frisco kid made me laugh several times and smile often . . . i ' d say that makes it at least a mildly successful film and a fairly enjoyable one , too .
some kind of wonderful is a great story of a high school kid learning to own it .
mr . aldrich ' s strength is his weakness for the violent and the macabre ( ' the dirty dozen , ” “whatever happened to baby jane ? ” and “ulzana ' s raid , ” among others ) . “the frisco kid” is neither .

vincent canby of the new york times described the frisco kid as
harmless chaos
:
people keep coming and going and doing ferociously cute things , but never anything that could appeal to anyone except a close relative or someone with a built - in weakness for anything ethnic whatsoever .
he criticized the lack of plot development , saying that , while based on a clever idea , the frisco kid ultimately fails to deliver on its promise .

godzilla… something i acted out with my father’s train set when i was a kid . he was not happy .
this series just keeps getting better and better . frisco ' s kid is a wonderful romance , with an edge . some real , still very timely issues , are spotlighted . wounded warriors , their very real personal battles and alcohol dependency affect on families are two of the major ones . frisco nearly lost his life 5 years ago saving a worthless prince who was in bagdad when the usa invaded . frisco was left with a shattered right knee and having to face the rest of his life without the one thing he loved most

faulty inner dialogue is a strong and confident album , which uses space to experiment freely and maintain kid canaveral’s obvious talent in creating memorable indie tracks .
but aldrich ' s best movies have had a certain ironic , satirical tone to them :
the dirty dozen
was a study in cynicism .
the frisco kid ,
on the other hand , has a certain softness at its center . the wilder character has a sweetness , a niceness , that ' s interesting for the character but doesn ' t seem to work with this material .
since their 2010 debut album , shouting at wildlife , kid canaveral have received a very positive reception and critical response throughout their six - year musical career .
roger ebert gave the movie a mixed review , admitting that after seeing cat ballou he was
forever after spoiled on the subject of comic westerns .
the movie ' s based on a good idea , yes . . . but what approach do you take to this material ? what ' s your comic tone ? the frisco kid tries for almost every possible tone .

in his memoir “kiss me like a stranger , ” wilder wrote that john wayne was first slated to play his bank robber friend : “i was also relieved , because in spite of the presence of the rabbi , with john wayne starring , ‘the frisco kid’ would be perceived as a western , not as a jewish film . ” wayne dropped out after the producers tried to lower his fee , and ford got the role .
i can ' t believe i actually cried reading this book . brockmann writes flawed heroes so well , flawed and hurting in a very realistic , heart - tugging way . frisco ' s journey to acceptance of his career - changing injury and learning that sometimes the toughest thing one can do is to decide to live sucked me in from the beginning . he is drawn so realistically that i can actually feel his pain . he has a great heroine that is just the right touch of softness and sternness . threw in a bad guy , some navy seal action , and a lovable kid , and frisco ' s kid is a satisfying , easy - to - read , romance .

dnf idk maybe i ' m in a bad mood or maybe this book put me in a bad mood but whatever the reason , i couldn ' t finish this book and my review will suffer greatly because of it . the heroine was shit . right off the bat i strongly disliked her . the more the story progressed the more i disliked her until i just couldn ' t stand her . she was constantly jumping to the worst conclusions , thinking the absolute worse about frisco , and was judgmental , nosy , and bitchy . and her reason ? cause frisco was a soldier
i found this story interesting . what happens to a seal when he can ' t be a seal anymore ? frisco ' s struggle with this was touching . tasha was adorable .
asking robert aldrich to direct a sentimental jewish comedy on the order of “the frisco kid” is like putting the late gen . george s . patton jr . in charge of a tap‐dancing class for tiny tots . not knowing exactly what to do , he doesn ' t seem to do very much at all . the result is harmless chaos . people keep coming and going and doing ferociously cute things , but never anything that could appeal to anyone except a close relative or someone with a built‐in weakness for anything ethnic whatsoever .

according to gene wilder ' s autobiography , kiss me like a stranger : my search for love and art , the tommy lillard role , played by harrison ford , was originally planned for john wayne . john j . puccio of movie metropolis writes that wayne was
eager to take it on as a comic follow - up to true grit and rooster cogburn . salary concerns nixed the idea , though , and it ' s questionable he would have finished the shooting , in any case , as he died shortly before the frisco kid opened .

once a long time ago on the champs elysee in paris , of all places , i saw
cat ballou

this is the third or fourth time i ' ve read this one . . . and i enjoy it every time . but boy did the disabled seal frisco have a huge chip on his sculpted shoulders . never have i read a book where the hero ' s identity and feelings of self - worth were so closely tied to his career . thank god he had the lovely high school teacher , mia , to show him the way to happiness . loved their steamy relationship . it was intensely hot without being graphic . i also loved frisco ' s relationship with his adorable 5 year

:
the frisco kid is not a great film ; it ' s not even a very good film by the best filmmaking standards ; but it ' s such a sweet and gentle film , it ' s hard not to like . . . the film moseys along at a leisurely pace , and the director has a little difficulty finding the right comedic tone between dry , subtle farce and outright slapstick ; yet it manages to find a soft spot in the heart for every scene , so maybe ' heartwarming ' is what aldrich had in mind , in which case he couldn ' t have done better .

the more clearly defined the story is , the clearer the picture of what you hope to write becomes . this is a large part of unfogging the mist within the crystal ball so that the writer can get a clear view of the future story . once you select a genre , this informs how your script should be consistently written in tone and mood . it pilots the script into the world in which the writer will set his or her story .
as i say , a good idea . but what approach do you take to this material ? what ' s your comic tone ?
the frisco kid
tries for almost every possible tone . it has slapstick ( wilder , on a railroad work gang , consistently slamming his sledgehammer down on the toes of the biggest member of the gang ) . it has poignancy ( wilder and ford get to like and respect one another , and it ' s a shame when they have to part ) . it has dialect jokes and costume jokes , puns and double entendres , romance ( a bride awaits wilder in san francisco ) and action ( wilder is taken captive by indians ) .
note : the views expressed here are only those of the reviewer ( s ) .
a movie can sometimes be poorly told , but audiences will still enjoy it because it delivered on the promises made by the genre in advertising . when done perfectly , without speaking to one another , the writer is working in tandem with the marketing team that handles all the p & a ( print and advertising ) for the film . because of this , the viewer comes to the movie prepared by the advertising in the right frame of mind to hear the writer’s story .

yes , it is a form of emotional manipulation , but it’s voluntary . in fact , it’s why they’re paying to see the movie . genre is the unspoken agreement between the writer and the audience for the experience they promise to give . we use what the audience already knows about the genres so that we don’t have to start fresh on page one of the script . we use expectation to seduce and affect them , playing the strings inside the human instrument… inside the viewer .

he ' s most appealing - nice - when he ' s being somewhat eccentric . in movies like “quackser fortune has cousin in the bronx” and “the silver streak , ” when he attempts to represent a kind of gentle blessedness , the intelligence of the actor shows through the disguise . the characterization becomes too calculated to be appealing . one suspects the innocent creature of being , at heart , mr . hyde .
through the centuries , perception and greater clarification is constantly being sought to quantify stories . it helps audiences enter the theater in the right mindset , and it helps producers market the story to their customers . the smarter mankind has become about buying and selling entertainment , the more clarity they want . people want to know what they are buying . therefore , the number of different genres has expanded quite a bit .
subgenres narrow the framework of the story for more direct targeting , giving the script a hook on which to market the film . some subgenres can slip into more than one genre , like spy thriller , action or comedy films , buddy comedy , action or ( b ) romance , noir crime , thriller or mystery . it’s the details within the details .
upon reaching the end of the line , avram begins working on the railroad to earn enough money to buy a horse to continue west . hilarity ensues as avram , unused to physical labor , creates chaos in ohio as he learns his way around the construction site of the new railway . all the while avram also narrates some of the peculiarities of jewish culture while finding his way across this strange , yet wonderful country .

if your screenplay is going to catch the eye of the studios , it should be written for the buyers but still speak from the heart with its premise . now , you don’t pitch a premise to others . if anyone does ask you for the premise of your story , chances are they are asking for the story’s basic situation . they are using the word as it’s found in any dictionary , not the technical term explained in my last article . meanwhile , you always pinpoint the genre for them . it shows buyers you know your audience and through what cinematic and visual devises they can sell your idea to the masses . you will notice that in many genres , the world in which it is set has scope that fits the tone .

as wisse writes , the schlemiel is a figure whose “nature permits him to live joyously , without unnecessary defenses” despite the suffering he endures . that is how the schlemiel became a symbol of hope for the jewish people . the shlemiel “continues to dream , or to fight for love , or to seek it…” much like wilder himself .

you will notice that the world in which any story is set has a heightened level of stakes . there are only two things the world can agree are worth truly fighting for , which is why those are the two stakes films focus on 99 . 9 % of the time ; they are death and love . this explains from whence the cliché of films being all about sex and violence originates . so , when visualizing the world , remember to consider all the different ways in which love and death make sense within the genre .
what are the chances of this naive , unexperienced schlemeil making it across the continent ? almost exactly zero . but then along comes a gunslinging desperado ( harrison ford , of

mr . ford has a somewhat easier time of it than mr . wilder , being required to be little more than stalwart straight‐man to the star . from the evidence here , mr . aldrich is not most at home in the kind of lovable comedy this film wants to be . the comic timing is always a couple of beats off . even leo fuchs , who was one of the great comic actors in the yiddish theater and who has a small role at the beginning of the film , is wasted . he seems to be just another dress extra .
tommy and avram are captured by indians after losing the torah in a chase . the chief questions avram about his book , with its strange writing , and offers to let them both go if the torah remains behind . avram refuses and is ' cleansed ' over an open fire as a test of faith . despite the pain the rabbi never cries out . the chief is impressed with avram ' s singular faith and gives both men their freedom and the torah as a sign of respect .
brainstorm of the genre ( s ) you select for your premise . each genre listed above should have its own list , even if they are describing the same concepts and conceits . there may be some overlap in your lists ; there are no rules limiting you . the contradictory irony of writing is that it’s about breaking down the walls within each framework , expanding the outer walls into new ideas . so , the best writers are breaking new ground while keeping the superstructure of genre intact .

a script should not include or force superfluous things into it just to throw in bits of genre here and there . you do not just throw in a bunch of cool ideas for genre - specific beats and elements that do not relate to the major turning points within the plot . the key is to nestle the premise so deep within the genre that they become inseparable . it’s part of the blueprint for the story , where everything in it should be a necessity of telling that specific story .

ironically , it’s likely that the very non - jewishness of director robert aldrich allowed him to make a movie proclaiming the virtuousness of the rabbi and the torah . if a jew , such as brooks , had directed the film , viewers would have been expected to laugh at the rabbi , rather than smile with him . as eric a . goldman writes in his book the american jewish story through cinema , in the 1940s after world war ii , it was the non - jewish film producer zanuck who in 1947 had the guts to produce a film about anti - semitism , “gentleman’s agreement” and another non - jewish director to create “crossfire , ” which also came out in 1947 . jewish producers at the time were too afraid to put their necks out and have their works to be labeled “too jewish” and risk inciting anti - semitism .
the movie ' s based on a good idea , yes : wilder plays a polish rabbinical student who places so far down in his class that the jewish elders decide there ' s only one place for him , and that ' s san francisco . so he ' s sent to the new land in 1850 or thereabouts , and he ' s expected to make his way through the wild west and eventually serve a congregation in the midst of the gold rush .

some viewers have complained that the name darryl is anachronistic . one etymology source says that , as a first name , it was not used by english speakers until the late nineteenth century . however , the name comes from old french

, meaning someone from the town of airelle in france . airelle itself means
open space
, from the latin , so it might be quite old .

the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
meanwhile , thrillers are popular internationally because the stakes ( life and death ) are a universally understood set of circumstances . like it or not , those are the facts . writers need to understand this so they know the challenges before selecting a genre .
premise provides the film’s purpose . it fills a story with passion and meaning . meanwhile , genre allows the writer to choose how to relay that message . it takes that light of inspiration from the premise and allows the writer to shine it through a specific lens . think of it as sunshine through a kaleidoscope . genre establishes a mood , color , and tone for the reader ( audience ) of that story . it conveys more than just the style of the film . most important to those who finance movies , the exact genre tells studios how to sell the movie and helps determine to whom ( through demographics ) . how you turn a feeling and a statement into a movie is through the marketing tool of genre . genre tells a studio how they will sell your idea . it’s important to note that it wasn’t always that way .

i ' m a great admirer of mr . wilder when , as in his own “sherlock holmes’ smarter brother” and “the world ' s greatest lover , ” and especially in mel brooks ' s “young frankenstein , ” he plays a character of patently unjustifiable self‐assurance , a fellow who ' s funny because of his complete absorption by the absurd . one of the great , solemnly funny sequences of all time is the “putting on the ritz” number from “young frankenstein , ” when the young doctor ( mr . wilder ) and his monster‐pupil ( gene hackman ) strut their stuff for the convention of viennese alienists .
( 1935 ) might at first be mistaken for yet another warner brothers western . laid against the backdrop of san francisco ' s bloody barbary coast circa 1854 , the screenplay by seton miller and warren duff tells of the rise and fall of bat morgan ( cagney , enjoying a break from gangsterdom ) , a merchant seaman who turns the tables on the scalawags who try to shanghai him and winds up owning half the town through force of will , a strong right hook and a complete disregard for anyone but himself .

even the traditional lower budget dramas listed are set behind the closed doors of : the mafia , prison , military life , world politics , bikers , wall street , insane asylums , war zones , internment camps , the ghetto , and criminal trials… the violence is palpable ; the stakes are exceptionally high . measures taken are extreme . it’s very hard to sell screenplays ( and movies as whole ) to anyone without such palpable conflict at the center of it . people don’t often pay to see a movie about everyday life . if they wanted that , they’d save their money and stay home . so , i explore the extremes . movies are exceptional stories about characters in exceptional circumstances . the worlds and situations of these films only get more visual , wild , daunting and cinematic for characters in other genres . for example , here is the start of a list for science fiction :

and brandon gomes , 22 , who has known alex since childhood , was approached by alex to help diversify the cast . an aspiring musician , model and actor with an interest in fashion , he saw the show as a career opportunity .

the kansas city defense benefited from alex smith ' s game management because he didn ' t throw interceptions and kept drives going .
the series premiering july 31 follows local young adults , who we interviewed at the mansion of cast member alex kompothecras ' family .
the film relies on an obtuse use of anxiety , depression and suicide , which are treated as little more than plot devices or character quirks . characters throw around xanax and klonopin nonchalantly , offering them to anxious others like a cup of tea . alex’s still uncleaned bath ( blood , razor and all ) turns from a stark realization to running gag as each of the friends avoid the downstairs bathroom . by the time the friends confront alex head - on about the suicide attempt over a drinking game , alex reveals that it was more a cry for attention than an actual death wish , which is interpreted as a betrayal of the friends’ sympathy .
“ about alex ” begins with a suicide attempt . this opening scene isn’t gruesome or grisly , but eerie . dressed for the part ( black suit and tie ) , alex ( jason ritter ) adjusts his tie knot , flips through old books for a folded magazine article , putting the lump into his breast pocket , and proceeds to draw a bath , filling the tub decidedly halfway . the camera maintains an emotional distance , framing objects and body parts but not zooming in too closely on his frame of mind .

rather than honing one central theme ( other than an umbrella nostalgia for college friendships ) or even settling on a tone ( flinging one - liners as easily as long - time - coming revelations ) , writer - director jesse zwick tries to win over the entire audience , playing on their emotional strings to a rose - tinted past or waning relationships or even battles with depression . focusing on cultural references and social cues , “about alex” fails to give us a big picture compelling enough to overlook its flaws .

“it’s actually more surreal than the novel . there are a couple places where i was like , ‘i might need an anchor here . ’ the ending is so mind - blowing and in some ways different from the book that it seems to be the kind of ending that , like 2001 or something like that , people will be talking about around the watercooler for years… visually , it’s amazing . i must say that and that’s all i probably should say . ”

all - star pitcher alex wood agreed to a $ 6 million deal with the dodgers , and catcher yasmani grandal settled at $ 7 . 9 million , among seven los angeles players agreeing to one - year contracts that avoid arbitration .
looking back , it makes perfect sense that alex ross would become one of the world ' s most preeminent and well - respected comic book artists . it ' s a job he ' s been preparing for nearly all his life .
besides alex , the initial cast featured his cousin , the 25 - year - old pauly apostolides , who moved to sarasota from washington , d . c . then there ' s alex ' s longtime friend chloe trautman , 21 , who attends a cosmetology school in sarasota ; his high school girlfriend madisson hausburg , 23 , who recently graduated from southern methodist university with an engineering degree ; and their friend juliette porter , 19 , a sophomore at florida state university .
alex ' s work has celebrated the 60th anniversaries of superman , batman , captain marvel and wonder woman with fully painted , tabloid - sized books , depicting each of these characters using their powers to inspire humanity as well as help them .
“i’d call this pretty much the headquarters of where a lot of filming is done , ” alex said . “this is where we hang out though , you know what i mean ? i’ve always been the one that has everyone come over . ”
“it’s going to show that there is youth in this town and there’s not just youth with money that act like brats , ” alex said . “i think they’re going to be like these people actually appreciate what they have and they live it up . ”
the stage is set , alex takes the plunge . he sends out one last tweet — “ask for me tomorrow , and you shall find a grave man . ” the original line is from “romeo & juliet , ” delivered by mercutio after tybalt’s mortal blow . whereas mercutio reserves his final breaths to morbid punnery and “a plague o’ both your houses ! , ” alex says nothing — no last phone call to his mother or haunting message to the one who got away — and resigns himself to the razor’s edge .
to help promote the show , mtv held a press event at the siesta key mansion owned by alex’s father , gary kompothecras , a chiropractor known for founding the 1 - 800 - ask - gary legal and medical referral service who is also trying to build a hotel on siesta key .
paramount has set a february 23 wide release for annihilation , alex garland ’s follow - up film to his 2014 debut ex machina that landed him an oscar nom for original screenplay . ex machina ‘s oscar isaac reunites with garland to star alongside natalie portman , who plays a grieving biologist who signs on for a secret expedition into alien territory .
since the conclusion of the 4 th pre - season game on thursday evening , the minnesota vikings have been working tirelessly to construct their ideal 53 man roster by saturday’s deadline . so far the majority of the cuts have been expected , however the release of alex boone , as first reported by tom pelissero , comes as the first major surprise from the vikings’ front office .

hotel alex perth – hotel restricted licence – licence no : 14957 – cicero management pty ltd warning under the liquor control act 1988 , it is an offence to sell or supply liquor to a person under the age of 18 years on licensed or regulate premises ; or for a person under the age of 18 years to purchase , or attempt to purchase , liquor on licensed or regulated premises .
they clean , they cook , they chop wood , they debate whether to listen to bruce springsteen . it’s like a camp getaway for adults , but without the fun . the script’s dialogue touches on the post - recession job market , the rise of social media , and the converse decline of human contact , but not to a satisfying degree . through ill - pacing , many of the jokes turn from decent one - liners into cheap gags , e . g . naming a character siri and then having another make an iphone joke that you could see a mile coming . self - aware nods to the similarly - premised “the big chill” and its ilk are too throwaway to be witty ( there’s a bit about jeff goldblum ) or too vague to be incisive ( a character pauses to comment on how the weekend feels like a movie from the ‘80s ) .
novelist and screenwriter alex garland made an assured debut as director with ex machina , a contained and thought - provoking sci - fi thriller released in 2014 . since then , he ' s been working away on another genre film , annihilation , based on a novel by jeff vandermeer . while details have popped up here and there , things have been rather quite from the production - though we now at last know when garland ' s movie will arrive in cinemas .
born in portland , oregon , and raised in lubbock , texas , alex made his artistic debut at three when , according to his mother , he grabbed a piece of paper and drew the contents of a television commercial he ' d seen moments before . by age 13 he was scripting and drawing original comic books . ten years later ? he was hired by marvel comics to illustrate marvel ' s central characters in the comic book event , marvels ( 1994 ) .
the five friends ( and + 1 ) plane , train , and automobile to alex’s side , or more specifically to his place in upstate new york . as the ol’ gang unites under one roof , past and present issues bubble to the surface ; old rivalries , a love trapezoid , post - college disillusionment , etc . coming together , they cast a wide net for the audience to project on . as promising as all of the above might read , the film falls flat , mistaking relatability for empathy to move forward a drama - flimsy , snark - ridden plot .
from there , we’re introduced to alex’s close college friends as they hear the news via phone calls . the cast reads like a who’s who of the industry’s up - and - coming . along with ritter ( “parenthood” ) , there’s maggie grace ( “taken” ) and nate parker ( “arbitrage” ) as the group’s golden couple , max greenfield ( “new girl” ) as the bitter intellectual , aubrey plaza ( “parks and recreation” ) playing against type as an insecure optimist , and max minghella ( “the mindy project” ) as the token midwesterner who brings along his new young girlfriend played by jane levy ( “suburgatory” ) .

josh ( max greenfield ) is the abrasive member of the group , the one who wants to confront alex with a wtf style of grief management to get to the bottom of why he tried to kill himself . more concerned than confrontational is sarah ( aubrey plaza ) , who hooks up with josh every now and then , but has a crush on isaac ( max minghella ) , the most yuppie of the gang . he may have even voted for bush ( gasp ) . complicating matters , isaac brings his relatively new girlfriend kate ( jane levy ) for the reunion / intervention . you can imagine how well that goes .
rejoice ! alex garland ‘s ex machina follow - up finally has a release date . paramount has scheduled annihilation to arrive in theaters on february 23 , 2018 . based on the nebula award - winning novel by jeff vandermeer , the first in his southern reach trilogy , the sci - fi thriller by way of eco - horror stars natalie portman as a biologist who leads a team of scientists into mysterious terrain known as “area x” where nature has reclaimed the land . there , they face contamination , disappearances , and deadly creatures . the film takes over the release date after pacific rim : uprising pushed back to a march release date .
while making sure to devote a few lines to mocking instagram and “the real housewives , ” the film winds up glossing over its own privilege . one character’s been published in the new yorker , another manages a hedge fund , alex lives in a willed - to - him country house . whereas in other films you can waive elitism , spoken or unspoken , for the sake of art or entertainment , it’s hard when a film flickers lacks the dramatic weight necessary to swallow its twee stereotype of 21st century adulthood ( e . g . there’s a bathroom door embossed with “lavatory , ” they have a reefer - induced , vinyl - tuned dance party , the set design is a hodgepodge of anthropologie and restoration hardware ) .

smith posted the elusive career - best campaign at age 33 last season and was abruptly traded by kansas city to washington . smith had never finished a season better than 14th at the position in fantasy points prior to finishing fourth in 2017 ( he was actually second prior to resting in week 17 ) . the 2005 first overall pick set career highs in passing yards ( 4 , 042 ) and touchdowns ( 26 ) . smith ' s game is set up to minimize turnovers ( 6 . 1 interceptions per season since 2011 ) , attempt conservative throws ( league - low 7 . 0 average depth of throw since 2009 ) and add value with his legs ( 283 rushing yards per season since 2011 ) . that ' s usually a recipe for qb2 production . expect smith to return to earth in 2018 .

on a less superficial level , the characters have the emotional intelligence of middle schoolers and lack serious ramifications . they yell , they cry , they cheat on significant others , but that’s all swept under the rug by the end credits . upon leaving the house , each gets allotted a new lease on life and newly raised issues are forgotten for the glorified bigger picture . in real life , you can’t go back and press restart . yet these characters , who show so little to deserve it , are able to and come out glowing in friend - induced epiphany .

ai : i grew up in los angeles , where i was born in 1982 . i started making art when i was very young ; one of my earliest memories is finger painting in pre - school . i was always good at drawing , so i was encouraged to continue making art , and i would do so a lot in my free time after school . when i was in high school , i got my first insight into the art world . once i had my drivers license , i started going to see exhibitions in los angeles on my own - and i never missed one . i began to understand that being an artist was a real possibility . i interned for an artist named lita albuquerque during the summer between my junior and senior years of high school . it was my first first - hand exposure to what
being an artist
could actually be like .
ai : it was truly great . i loved being in oslo and working with the museum’s incredible staff .
ai : sunglasses are made of frames and lenses , and they change the way that we see things . they can both attract and deflect attention . for me they’re a little bit like a mask , or a security blanket .
ai : i’ve been asked this one a lot , and i always use bret easton ellis’ answer from when he was on as it lays :
just that i’m a nice guy .
on this blog you will get to read reports on the museum ' s activities written by the staff , see photos of art and exhibitions , as well as get information that we want to share .
who are your top 3 favorite groups / artists & why ? coldplay , beatles … can ' t really think of a third one . music isn ' t a big part of my life .

do you consider yourself romantic and why ? yes . i like to treat my significant other like a queen .

siesta key — on a sprawling couch in a siesta key mansion , eight young adults sit posing for photos , talking and laughing with one another . they behave like old friends , perhaps assembling before a day on the beach or a night out at the nearby beach club .
they are the cast of “siesta key , ” a new mtv reality show premiering july 31 , the network announced . the 10 - episode series follows a group of 19 - to 25 year - olds over a summer , with some returning home from college while others live full time in sarasota .
yet even before airing , the show has caused controversy with locals concerned it will transform their upscale coastal community with the world - famous beach into the next jersey shore .
cast members get passed off one - by - one to media outlets spread across the mansion’s expansive entrance and main sitting room , with its overlooking balconies , spiral staircase , wide - spanning skylight window and ornate furniture . glass doors lead to a pool overlooking the sugary sand beach .
soon he’ll welcome the public , perhaps millions of eyeballs from across the country , into his house .
“i go , ‘you guys are really having a hell of a lifestyle , ’” gary said . “i said this would be a good reality show . plus they’re good kids , so that was the main thing , they weren’t bad kids . i said this would be a good story because when i was growing up , you had ‘father knows best , ’ you had ‘my three sons , ’ you had people with values and i didn’t see that in the tv of late . ”
“mtv called up out of the blue and said , ‘listen , this is what we’ve been looking for , ’” gary said .
filming for the full season started in early april , shooting at several local businesses including casey key fish house and tiki bar , where trautman and new cast member kelsey owens work . they also filmed at siesta key village and big pass sandbar and in sarasota . in one episode , the group takes a trip to the bahamas island of bimini .
“i was like , ‘i’m going to travel anyways , i’m never going to be home , if it’s what ' s going to make my mom happy , then that’s ok , ’” owens said . “then we moved here and then i ended up taking a break from modeling , so i ended up living here . ”
owens’ boyfriend garrett miller , a 21 - year - old personal trainer who was born and raised in sarasota , also was added to the cast .
apostolides is also an aspiring musician , a trained pianist who started writing rap tracks while dealing with juvenile trouble in d . c . , he said at the press event .
he was charged in sarasota county this year for contempt of court for failure to appear on a previous marijuana possession charge . apostolides was arrested in 2015 for possession and fraudulent display of a handicap parking permit .
nearly every cast member emphasized that “siesta key” won’t be like the infamous mtv reality show “jersey shore , ” instead likening it to the network ' s less scandalous reality shows “the hills” and “laguna beach . ” they hope viewers will relate to their friendships , relationships and struggles to plan for the future .
“i hope they take away from the show that a group of friends can come together , have some drama , but still keep it classy and not be trashy , ” apostolides said . “we’re not a ‘jersey shore , ’ we do have problems on the show , but for the most part we’re all really good people . ”
