POLITICS: I cannot intend to change your opinion, but only ask that you take into consideration my own. Today it seems the task at hand is to involve the youth in the process of civic concern.
Politics is networking. HISTORY: An historian begins with a subject, and the end of that subject. In the process, the discovery may take them far and beyond the matter of investigation, but . . . that's the fun of writing history.
MOVIES: "Most movies are Shit!" Dr. Segal's statement shocked me, while I whole heartedly agreed. I like to write movies with something of substance, and often with a few facts.
In my 40 years of screenwriting and film making experience, I accept the fact that studio productions and release are based on marketing evaluations. Less on the validity of substance they spend tens and hundreds of millions of US dollars, but the value of this money spent commands demographic acceptance. I go to see all kinds of movies. FICTION: In the world of human interaction, we often surmise what's gone on and what's going on. That's all entertaining, which I both find rewarding and offer in fiction as my own objective. |
DiscussionNot Married. Very Married Click and type in a question or comment Bingo! Exactly where I am with my non-husband. I'm commited to him for life, 'lui, et nul autre'. However, he proposed last summer and wants us to be legally married this year. I agreed. Why should I object, if it brings him happiness? Ijust don't think it's necessary. Yeah, like litterally and not legally. Separated Siamese twins, right. Joe Cool After 25 plus years as girlfriend, boyfriend we are looked upon as married, but legally we're not.
One of the glamour girls I meet in the business asked me to sneak away with them, and I said I was very married. She wondered what that meant. I live with this person who reminds me what I need and what I have to do each day. As a writer, she edits my writing and taught me not to repeat any words. There are things in my routine that move my life forward, only because I do those things for her. As a retired movie star, I call her a professional spoiled person. Very part of me. I'm married to her, but I'm not. Really. Numismatists -- Coin Collectors Click and type in a question or comment In the more recent days, a new facination with history has awakened in me. As an historian and a boyhood coin collector, it came across my desk that more and more companies selling gold also traded in coins. US coins of the highest value have three qualities that make them equitable. First is the metal. Gold and silver coins have always been traded for the weight and value of the metal. Then, times pass and the historic traces are shown on the art work front and back, or obverse and reverse of the metal piece: the coin. Finally, the fewer coins available makes their history more interesting also this rariety makes them more valuable. Interesting enough, the most value traded coins in this 21st Century are the copper coins of our Colonial History, these they call 'Colonials.' This history of colonial coins is as facinating as back fence gossip. The one instance is the first colonial half penny and penny; the Woods Hibernia coin. A coin made by a Brit for Ireland, who rejected it and they sent it over to the Colonies for use here. The rights to make this coin, by Woods, was won from the King's mistress. Like I wrote above, the numismatic history of our US coinage reads like over the back yard fence gossip. I'm having fun with it and building some equity, too. More to come. Personal concerns are what compels us all. What are our most influencing concerns, begins with the youth today.
