everyone knows the wedding is about the woman - THAT’S why she’s in the majority of the photos.

the movie that keeps running through my head is “DAZED & CONFUSED”…. I’m not sure what that means but ….

Movies as metaphor is an interesting, though worrying notion. You know, I finally saw The Miracle of Morgan’s Creek (and damn near peed my pants) and, given this idea of living a movie, I’d have to say I’m Eddie Bracken, though I still haven’t found my Betty Hutton. (Actually, as I think of it, I have … but she’s in an Ernst Lubitsch film that, strangely, has several bit parts all played by Dennis Hopper.) (Don’t ask.)

Anyway, my only real thought on this is … what happens in the third act? Are people living different movies, or one movie with several storylines? If the latter, it’s all about the third act. Everything else is exposition.

Sure, one is the “star” in one’s movie.

But sometimes the director quits because of artistic differences with the producer, the script ends up so-so since it’s based on a crappy novel. You’re way over budget so the costume designer and hair stylist are off on the period. The cinematographer is forced to change shots to hide discrepancies. Sometimes the co-stars are fickle and unreliable. Sometimes they clamor for bigger roles or you’re forced to co-star with your producer’s latest couch companion.

In light of all of this it comes down to the character and talent of your star. Your star knows where the movie ought to go and does his best to perform his role with style and class.

And that is all one can do. One cannot be concerned with what is happening on the neighboring lot.

And hope that the sequel to your movie is not “Freddie versus Jason.”

Namaste.

My Italian mother(although I’m beginning to think she has some Jewish in her too)emailed me this week and said: “I had a dream about you last night and you were getting married and having a baby…don’t take this the wrong way. My friend is always talking about her daughter with hopes that she’ll find someone. I told her maybe she doesn’t want to find someone, maybe she’s happy with the way things are. Anyway no reflection on how I think.”

Don’t take it the wrong way??!!! I don’t even know where to begin with this one.

If life is a movie, then I want a sequel. Or two.
And yes, Sophia is beautiful. And the back of your head does look nice…. there’s a quote there…. from “You Can’t Take It With You”…
