Thanks for your email about self-defense for film-makers. I found it quite informative. Obviously written by a lawyer, but informative none-the-less. :)

Thanks for the kind words about "A Dangerous Mind". You're right, a lot of people didn't get it. But it's still interesting to see everyone's interpretation. I'm just glad that most people have liked it and have even read it multiple times.

Thanks so much for your thoughts. I'm happy you enjoyed yourself, and hope many others will day someday soon. (I had a weak joke here a moment ago, but then re-read your review and understood who you were talking about. Nevermind -- LOL.)

Well, obvious candidates:

J-lo
Penelope Cruz
Salma Hayak (sp?)

I have a friend from old UCLA days who is Latina and film maker, I'll ask. If you're serious about producing it, it might be good to send to these big names and a few smaller names to see if they would get behind it.

No problem. I enjoy doing it and look forward to your next work. Matadora is a really great story and it's the adapting part that is so hard. I've been working on the true story of a resistance movement inside WWII Japanese American internment camp and it's taken me like 5 years to get the story to work in a film format. And it goes on... Who do you imagine playing Matadora?

And I just noticed On The Waterfront is on your favorite films list. We have something in common.

Greetings,

I just started doing reviews with trigger street and reviewed Matadora. I would love to hear if you have any feedback (what was helpful and not). I've done coverage before but it's been a while, so want to make sure that the comments are helpful.

thanks,

jwest - thanks, it's a little depressing, isn't it?

The thing is, I saw 2 things happen while taking the photo. There were two sets of people I recognized from the audience at the movie; they were both sitting close to me.

One was a little kid, who somehow didn't process what he just saw and tossed a cup on top of that garbage pile. His parents were a bit oblivious and just kept going.

Another was a couple ... just as one girl was about to toss a plastic bottle on top of the pile, her girlfriend said, "Sweetheart, we can recycle that at home and we're a few minutes away. Jeez, did we see the same movie?" That's a bit of a paraphrase, but she took the plastic bottle home. Or at least, I hope she did.

That's a misconception that's easy to fall into but false nevertheless....

It would be! Our book review section here in the Pittsburgh paper is atrocious!! You would think that no one here reads.
I am thinking of just writing a review of the "Sawtelle" book and seeing what happens.

Right now I only do freewills -- so everything I read is really good. :) The downside of this is that it always makes me feel insecure because I know I can never write anything that good.

Ever read a screenplay that just sucks the will to live right out of you? I should be able to just "Remove Assignment" and move on...maybe I have a streak of massochism I'd never suspected...
