Writing from the Ether
Writing from the Ether
I completed a two-day writing seminar this weekend. It took ideas put forth by Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung and others about using archtypes to effectively create a timeless narrative. The seminar was a nice review, but it wasn't really anything that Campbell didn't cover in more depth in The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Regardless of what the class covered, it was interesting to see what other kind of writers are out there. From the small cross-section I saw, I can safely say that my confidence as a writer grew substantially.

So we are saying that M. Nighy Shamalaylamalamadingdong has finally gone crap?

I think that's a safe assumption. It takes a special kind of guy to be able to mess up two movies (Lady in the Water and The Village) with such superb casts. As much as I love Giamatti, even he doesn't come out smelling like roses from this one. Bob Balaban, on the other hand, was absolutely perfect in his role...as he often is.

I really wish his diary on working on Close Encounters would come back into print. You of all people should have that in your library. You might be able to find it at a used book store, as I did.

Oh... well I'll be a stuffed mule. IT IS back in Print. just under a different title. "Spielberg, Truffaut & Me: an Actor's Diary."
It will make you love Truffaut more than you already do.
