in kindergarden -

there is this funny game with famous writers and their famous books - like 'Rusty Bedsprings'

by 'I Pee Nightly and since we are reading this threat (two friends from Stuttgart Arkansas, who are here for a sleepover and me) - We decided before we go to bed to hand out the first

'You Go First' award - and the winner is - not - the Boston Patriot and also not Glenn but

the Cargo Dude - because all of his posts made perfect sense - he only is' writing proof', that

the only thing worst than giving simple answers to complicated questions - is giving complicated answers to simple questions and - so - he will get his signed and first edition

of 'Over the Cliff' and how are we doing LWM - we need some encouragement before we go to bed - and you shouldn't look at nikked woman!

and now the good news -

we think the script can be saved –

I know – it doesn’t show any consistency - but my das was gone and considering my age and that even ‘seasoned’ writers like LWM attacked and defended at the same time- a little Flipflopping should be tolerated – and now my dad is a back and we did some heavy brainstorming and i honestly think there might be hope for a ‘hot’ mainstream production, if Grace – i mean Glenn would consider some changes.

Our biggest asset is without any doubt our excellent research departement and we would like to put Baldie in charge (sorry about the ‘badie’ it was just a typo) - because he is one of the more ‘levelheaded dudes’ and if he could get some of the more ‘emotional types’ to tie the anthrax and the collapse of the Twin Towers together in a more creative fashion there might be hope (not im ‘general’ - just for the script)- but we should not be afraid of Kappa Kappa. This is one of the most intriguing details of the story and a real ‘find’ because little ‘sideways’ like that make a stereotypical story much more believable and they ad so much humanity to the central character (says my dad)

Just think about the opening shot with our hero wearing a blond wig - snooping around the mail boxes in front of Kappa Kappa. After such a shot it doesn’t matter at all, if the hero sits down with another lawyers discussing legalites (or is it ‘legalalities’?)

I know im silly but my dad is wearng this wig again. He also bought a blond one (to be like Andy Warhol not Nancy Grace) - but nowadays he only wears it driving- because if he gets photographed speeding he can tell them it was Andy Warhol and perhaps Glenn also had this need to get his inner Nancy Grace out of his system and that could be the triumph and the finale when he at the end of the script gets rid of wig and he will be our good ole Glenn again.

And furthermore Zack and Zock should get a part just for their names.

and heru too -

he hast to be in the picture because he seems to know how things collapse.

and heru can teach us -

more about these simple minded points - because a truly mainstream production needs simplicity - a certain purity of thought and i think we should put him in charge of the rewrites.

but -

he has to stay away from quoting 'doctors' - when i stayed in the loony bin i never was allowed to bring up 'conditions'!

no -

piece of cake is taking from my birth - it was a piece of cake to give birth to - moi - and if you found it in wag the dog you didn't understand the simple point of the movie -

So much about intelligence - HAH!

Tuesday, August 5, 2008 04:51 AM

thats really weird -

and i always thought wag the dog was a movie about the idea that a tail can wag a dog - but you are right i still have a lot to learn and thats why i am here - i am also dying to have a intelligent conversation - pick any subject - i know we probably should stay 'on anthrax'

or why things collapse - but it is lunctime in germany and it must be very dark in the homeland so we could get it one - we are probable pretty much alone on the thread and perhaps the few others could join in!

come on heru -

don't be a party pooper - what's about --- whats about - hey - what's about Faust - Goethes Faust we are just reading this - you know the story with the pact with the devil and all of this -

and it is very intelligent - i had to read the whole book and it is a very thick book and can you imagine there are even ticker books about this thick book and it always reminds me on my grandmother who met Gore Vidal in Ravello - thats in italy and she had read all his books and told him how wonderful (i'm sorry but i forgot what she thought was so wonderful and Gore Vidal told her he never had thought about that but it was a truly wonderful point and i know again that i am silly here but as you might know i am a BIG FAN of LWM and i thought it was not very nice of you to come up with any kind of 'condition' especially in your 'condition' and

if you don't want to answer to that - we just could leave it - as a movie is just a movie!
