Making money from art is not vulgar. Art is a commodity. It makes people feel something. It raises the greater sum of human happiness. It increases the gaiety of the nation. It has a value. -John Allison

:(

I was just about to post this, but luckily I double-checked the forum before hitting "Post".  At least you used the right title.

Anyway, I don't know if it's my worst nightmare, but the thought of an anthropomorphic cat dressed as Simon Cowell busting into my room to criticise my wanking technique isn't exactly pleasant.

The teddy bear understands the cardinal rule of working on a project you dislike.

Whenever someone tries to make the thing even more complex or even more expensive or even more time-consuming, try like hell to convince them that it isn't necessary, that they can fix it in post later.

If you really sell it, you can get any not-completely-experienced person to buy into it, it's called On-Set Traumatic Hypnotism where people are so overwhelmed by how basically and strictly impossible it is to make a movie and... they can be convinced of anything that would make it slightly easier.

By the time they are in the editing room and the Traumatic Hypnotism has worn off, hopefully you got your checks cashed and your crew shirt sent off to some fanboy cousin back East and they're too busy trying to fix the damn thing to have you killed.

Do you think it is rad to have cynicism?

In most situations, cynicism is not rad at all.

But... when you're talking about something as weird as making a movie, a little cynicism is a healthy defense mechanism. A film set is so hectic and all-the-hell-over-the-place that, seriously, you quickly realize that such an endeavour is full-on Tinkerbell... if anybody stops clapping their hands, everyone will quickly realize that pixies are ficticious.

A movie set is a cartoon character running ten feet past the edge of a cliff where the bridge is out.

If he doesn't look down, he might actually get to the other side. If he does look down, however, he will only have enough time to whip out a tiny umbrella before plummeting to his death.

In such situations, cynicism is so not rad that is goes around the other side and becomes completely rad.

They should tap Lyle's acting experience, if he's around. 

A-CAP, that word and a few other seemingly innocuous words are censored/altered.  I don't know why this is.  The veteran posters know, but they won't tell you.  You could read the entire archives to try to learn the secret, or you could do what I do, and just privately feign a knowing laugh whenever it comes up.

This is how people my parents' age in my hometown are about who burned down the high school in the early Seventies.

Everyone in their early fifties seems to know who did it but... they won't tell anyone younger or older how it went down. It is this weird open secret that is not actually open at all.

Like, you know, one of those secrets where... it's a secret... but it's not SECRET that it's a secret.

I always figured that on the secret hidden moderators' board, they just... occasionally slaughter a bird and whatever word its guts spell out, they decide to programme in a substitution upon that case.

Nearly every great conspiracy revolves around reading a bird's guts.

I feel like people constantly tell me the reason, and I say "oh, I get it!" and then I immediately forget it.

I am noticing lately that I am much more cynical than I thought. Although, I mean...
is it cynical to say that it makes sense for a University to fire a professor who doesn't teach well, and refuses to do research? They are being nice and keeping him on part-time instead of straight-up firing his ass. My friends say that I'm a jerk because I don't think it's the University's "responsibility" to give him health care, because he's old and sick. I mean... is it their problem that he sucked at his job? Is it their problem that he is old?

What bothers me the most is that this girl has been bitching about what a bad teacher he is for the whole year. She skips his class several times a week.

That's okay Ash, I am happy to be like the innocent youth in lfm's terrifying hometown.  It is one of the roles I play here.
