I love a good Saturnday.

-I am on cloud nine and three quarters. I don't know how a Saturnday could get any better. Go see "The Shining" at a theatre with a beautiful girl, then after go make out with her until the sun comes up.
-Oh bliss and glory be.
-I am going insane from lack of creative...creative...something or other. I am so dull. Desperatly need a sharpening. I have an idea for a short film that shouldn't cost too much money or time to make.
-I've realized lately that I need to be in a creative position all the time or else I start to fall apart. I can function day to day, but I don't have any reason to do so beyond a fear of death.
-Must write short film AND more importantly make it.
-Being the assistant editor for our class film makes me sad. Because after seeing all the footage, I've realized that our movie lacks in the story department. It stinks. It doesn't suck becasue there are some funny moments.
-Unfortuneatly that's all it is. Just stuff happening for 10 minutes, no character development, no conflict, and no climax. The film has a climax but it has absolutely no setup. IT'S COMPLETELY RANDOM.
-What is even sadder is that the director wasn't able to see this when they wrote the script. It's a problem many writers have even in the hollywood system. The ability to see your work for what it is and not what you think it is.
-Oh well, it's about learning the process more than making a good film. One of life's lessons that has to cost a lot of money in order to get its point across. But I say better it be a crappy film than a car accident.
-IN OTHER NEWS:
-I was threatened with a knife a few days ago. I used my diplomatic charm to get out of the situation, but I wish I had followed the guy later and jumped him to teach him a lesson.
-I'm at a party and this dude pulls out apocket knife and tells me that I'm talking shit. Honestly I didn't even know he was there until he started talking to me, but I guess I offended him. I said that I don't think I was talking any shit, and he starts waving it at me saying, "Yes, you were."
-I say to him, "I didn't mean to, and I apologize if I was." and he folds the kife up.
-The funniest part about the whole situation is that it only lasted about 20 seconds. But from the moment I saw the knife I realized my hand was reaching into my pocket and unfolding my pocket knife slowly while I was apologizing to him. In retrospect I think I was triggered into a survival mode where my mind had a, "We'll try diplomacy first, but have plan 'B' ready." kind of thing.
-I really should have followed that guy and kicked his ass later. The only problem with jumping someone is the same with filmmaking, you can't do it alone.
-Yeah I talk big, but I dream big too. I'm just saying what should have been done, not that I would have done that even if I had a loyal posse.
-I just hope he meets someone less diplomatic than me.
