She's fucking amazing actress... leaves the majority that are "rated" totally in the dust for me, strong preformance in everything I've seen (weather the flick is my kinda deal or not).

So far i find the whole thing very intimidating. I have a really good feel for the flow and structure of a short story, and so far the novel thing is pretty comfortable too (although a little overwhelming in scope)...


I want to write movies more than anything, but the feel of it terrifies me. I have a certain degree of self-doubt that doesnt exist in the less structured formats. When i think about it, it is bizarre, too. I am a programmer, which is a VERY structured writing style, but it is well within my comfort zone.

This is excellent news Rod! Keep the ball rolling!

And since you are in re-writes anyways, I highly suggest throwing in some nude scenes for Samantha Mathis. ;)

There is a great deal of blood, though... and a little genital-torture:eek:
Hey, then it will probably be an easy sell to get my wife to see it with me, nudity usually pulls her right out of the movie.

I just hope "genital torture" doesnt cause any inspiration...

Genital torture? I hope that's just a reference to someone getting blueballed.
