retsinis, My friend and I are filming a movie. The movie that I wrote sixty pages of script for- over the course of six months. we licensed "seeing other people" for one of the many Eisensteinian montages in the film. It's called 'Gravity & Grace'- from a line in a poem written by the main character in Jonathan Coe's "House of Sleep", which is, as any of you who have read it may know, an almost perfect book. I'm nervous about the movie though, as I think most people would be. The friend who's directing it wants to enter it into all these festivals and such, and apply for grants too. I dunno. We apparently have a publicity staff now, which strikes me as eerily weird. We're going to have a premier, and a party afterwards. It all seems too 'let's pretend we're grown-ups' to me. I keep flashing back to what Kevin Murphy, one of the writers for Mystery Science Theater 3000 wrote- "maybe someday I'll have a vision, and make a movie, and I fear that it will end up like all the rotten tripe that we riff on"..... I still owe the short stories that I auctioned for the B&S thing- there are five actually written, but still five to go. and I need the artwork from my friend in Chicago.... hmmm. this seems like the point in the post when I have to say 'i don't know why I'm telling anyone this, but thanks for reading if you got this far'. electronic group counseling. geoff farina's new record is quite good. I listened to 'Steely Dan' about 25 times today....troubling. douglas coupland calls, Kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
