Tonight, we watched In Her Shoes. I cried much of the way through it.
Today, I got the story-to-screenplay of Brokeback Mountain. It fascinates me to see any screenplay on the page. I’m always amazed at how the director/ actors/ cinematographers/ film editors/ sound people take so few words and turn them into a movie. I really don’t see how making movies can be anything but the most fun job on earth.
I’m watching the commentary begin to come in for SOMEONE LIKE YOU. No matter what, you can’t please all of the people all of the time. I wonder if people who make movies read novels and think, “I really don’t see how writing novels can be anything but the most fun job on earth.” It is. And sometimes, it isn’t.
The news is so depressing. Does anyone think being president is the most fun job on earth? I’ve always heard clowns are unhappy beneath their makeup.
I’ve gotten an enormous amount of stuff accomplished over the past week. Yet the one thing I haven’t done is fulfill a promise to my writing partners.
I’m never caught up.
Remember: If you please all the people all the time, you are head of a cult.
Oh, well, then, that would be Tim’s job, not mine, thank goodness.
i thought ‘in her shoes’ was too really good and i cried too.
unhappy clowns…heh heh
Did you watch the extras, including the casting of HoneyBun 2, and the story of the rescued dog Hamlet? Plus a plug for rescue dogs? That was cool, too.
“too really good”
excuse that tardo statement in my previous comment.
anyway – i saw it at the theatre, so no extras! but i do plan on buying it, so i will definitely check them out.
