Dude, all movies have zombies in them, when you think about it.

The actors:studio-engineered automatons, using their PR-generated celebrity status to bolster an opening weekend of another trite, FX-saturated piece of garbage, turning "pop culture" and "culture" into synonymous terms for a country full of eager, indiscriminate consumers.

No wonder they want to eat brains so badly; the yen for any type of intelligence (or original dialogue, or compelling script, or a non-remake) must overwhelm their badly tanned, poorly aging bodies.

Just kidding! Hollywood rules!

By the way, I would like to continue our discussion on characters. Do you ever just do sketches of them?

how dare you use my pointless post as a springboard to make a legitimate point! you are in direct violation of the anothererratum charter. say something goofy or at the very least use some profanity! for christ sake, there are children reading!

yeah, anyway about characters: i'm really into the complete portrait of a person as art. i spend a lot for time discribing or giggling over a any particular character, hypothetical or.....uh.....thetical. the eccentricities and contradictions. i don't too do a lot of creating character sketches myself, because most of the writing i do is anecdotal and not creative (inventive). mostly i just observe and appreciate specimens in nature.

Your stuff is very creative! A journal, even in the strict sense, is not just a log of events. I think of it as taking my life and editing it for memory, with some post-shoot special effects added for oohs and ahhs and ughs and blehs.

And concerning characters -- when you put it like that, I realize I agree with you. Because one of my favorite writers is Flannery O'Connor; she almost exclusively wrote short stories, but they were more like portraits. A portrait action painting, pardon my layman vocabulary. You should check her out. I mean, read her stuff. You can't really "check her out" in any other sense because she is very dead.

AND IT ALL COMES BACK TO ZOMBIES!

way to bring it around, jackson.
you know who i've been really into lately is Dorothy parker. i saw "Mrs. Paker and the Vicious Circle" about her and the Algonquin round table and absolutely fucking loved it, but i figured that her writing would be dated and inaccessible and, worst of all, girly. the happy pink lesbian who lives down the hall let me borrow a collection of hers, and its actually really good.

journaling: not that's its not creative, its just that i don't invent anything, i just exaggerate. i like the idea of turning my life into a myth. (i think a person's biography should take intention into account.)
