Yes he does. I haven't been writing in a while since I'm suffering from writer's block.

Writing about people's backgrounds is an idea, it may end your writers block too. Stuff like when they all met, how he got the boat, etc.

Thanks for the help. I think that the Merc's only use the boat for transportation, and that they have apartments back in Cape Town. I'll write about Greg's first.

In my original draft, Greg and Ares pay a visit to Sharlto Blair, a cannabis smoking arms dealer to buy supplies. I've decided to add him in my new draft, and he is visit by Greg and Katie. Some of the guns he tries to sell to them include an Uzi fitted with a wooden buttstock ("it's pretty to find one of these in this condition"), a MP-40 ("The Schmeisser submachine gun; a common weapon used in the Bush War"), a Sig P210 ("a nifty, little pistol"), and an M20 Super Bazooka ("The Bazooka; it's a heavy bastard, but it gets the job done"). However, Greg tells him that he's not "trying to start the Nicaraguan Revolution all over again" and buys a FN FAL 50.00 along with a bag full of MkII hand grenades, a case of 185 grain .45 Hollow point bullets, and a few spare magazines for the FAL. Katie buys a Browning Hi-Power pistol, intending to give it to Lynn.

125 grain? Um, thats a 9mm/38 sized bullet weight, not a 45 (most loads in 185-230 range.)

You should have him pick up some .32 ammo chief was having trouble finding.

One of Greg's talents is being an amateur bartender, some of his creation include a daiquiri made with Bacardi 151 rum and Grenadine, a Revolution (which consists of three shots of dark rum, three shots of Jose Cuervo Gold Tequila, and a half a can of Coca Cola), and a drink made of Schnapps, Cognac, and Kirsch, served in an old fashion glass on the rocks.

Chief is a cigar aficionado.

Katie's Somali attire consists of a black Flak jacket, a black tank top, leather pants, a belt to hold her pistol and knife, and a pair of jump boots.

leather pants in hot weather?

Avoid black stuff (it's Africa, it gets hot. Try khaki instead) As for the tank top...not sure. Ok, so it's Africa and very hot but find me 3 movies where the hot chick who kills people isn't wearing a tank top. Seems kind of cliche. Other than that, no real problems.

leather sticks to skin when its hot and feels cold in cold weather.....bad all around.

Alright, I'll change it to Khaki's. I was just inspired by Max Payne where Mila Kunis' character wears leather pants. I read a couple of interviews about the film and Kunis calls her MP5K a "MK5" (if she switched the "5" and "K" around and added a "P" in front of the "M" she would get it right).

I have an idea that early on in the mission, Greg starts to suffer from severe migraines, and when he encounters Van Zyl's group he asks if they have any asprin.

I've decided to give Greg a few tattoos. On the upper part of his right arm, he has one of The King of Hearts, or the "Suicide King". On his back he has a quote from John Milton's Paradise Lost which reads: "Beter to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven". Anyone have anymore ideas for tattoo's?

I have an idea that Rocco's the only member of the group to own a car, which is a beated up 1979 Ford Pinto with a taillight missing. It cost two month's of his share of the money.

Maybe he uses it as a bomb by putting it in reverse and backing it into a somali tank:eek:

Rocco keeps his car in a slum in Cape Town. He likes the slum since it reminds him of home.

the pinto is such a bad car ......unique though

I could imagine van Zyl just telling him to harden the fuck up

BTW, I'm back from my four day long stay at the deer camp

You should have some somali thugs carrying those kybher pass guns and then get wrecked since the guns suck.

I have an idea that Greg's apartment has an old timey feeling to it, like he has a poster of Gilda in his bedroom. When he gets back to Cape Town, he simply just goes back to his apartment, he simply fixes himself a daiquiri, and listens to Edith Piaf's Non, je ne regrette rien while chain smoking Marlboros.

What kind of Marlboros? I'd suggest Lights (or Golds, here in the US now) or Menthol lights. They're the most popular kind

He smokes Red Pack 100's.

Marbolos are boring and generic, I remember in high school when every kid smoked reds cause they thought they looked cool, even though almost any other cigarette was better.

That's odd. Lights are way more popular than reds, and younger smokers today usually go for Camel lights or just regular Newports if they don't smoke Marlboro lights.

Its reds near me. Usually there just the cheapest .

Pall Malls, just like Kurt Vonnegut smoked

A classy way to commit suicide.

Yup. No mess to clean up

Classy? try cheap

Not really. A rope or a bullet is much cheaper; cigarettes add up pretty quick

I meant the Pall Malls are cheap compared to other cigarette brands. At least they are the cheapest brand where I work

My aunt switched to Pall Malls when Virginia Slims became too expensive, so I gues you're right

Pall Malls are ~$2.70
Virginia Slims are ~ $4.50+
I can see why she switched

In maine there s a 3, or 3.50 tax on cigs, so marb reds cost like 6 bucks.

I'm near Richmond VA. I've heard that in NYC, 1 pack of Marlboro cost like $13 ($3.95/pack here)

I've decided to recast Johnny. I now want Tom Hardy to play him, ever since I saw him in Inception.

I got an idea for George. He should be played by Jason Mewes.

Here is my new cast after many painful hours of research:

Greg - Elijah Wood

Ares - Kevin Durand

Rocco - Edgar Ramirez

Katie - Mila Kunis

Johnny - either Tom Hardy or Josh Duhamel

Ever since Harry Potter, I have wanted to punch Elijah Wood in the throat
