...If you want to escape and feel good about life. Times are hard enough to be reminded of greed, violence, darkness, and darkness and more darkness. At one point in my life, I was a development executive at a Studio and a way to pass on a script was by claiming that "it just wasn't a feel good movie".
Why is Hollywood stuck on wanting to appeal to a teenager's appetite for "Gore". I am glad that I am not working at the studio system and I am able to walk out of a 2 and half hour movie and not feel bad about the wasted 14 dollars. And having no name talent to films that have terrible scripts is suicidal for those poor up & coming actors, don't you think?
At least the popcorn and M&Ms were fun to eat in the dark. No one to Watched me indulge in such guilty pleasure. (I keep wanting to loose 10 pounds...)
I haven't been feeling like writing lately because I've been working on my own material and hoping that someday it will make me enough money to never ask for money. So I am going back to writing another story and will leave you with the a lovely, happy poem:How happy is the little Stone
(by Emily Dickinson)
How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn't care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears --
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity --
The "Ides of March" are gone, all is well! Celebrate Life!
