- @ so YOU'RE to blame for my being here? ;) Trying to speak only 2x/year, but this is an awesome event. See you this afternoon!19 minutes ago from web in reply to davegreiner
- @ "user" is placeholder/variable, to find/replace w/ context-specific words, depending on *actual* users. (hotel "guests", etc.)22 minutes ago from web in reply to whitneyhess
- @ I don't have that one-- thanks for recommending! I try to read at least 3 filmmaking books/yr, but I still have 2 to go for 09.5:25 PM Nov 8th from web in reply to JeffSexton
- *Not* swearing makes it like a superpower when you do. The one time I used the f-word, the kids froze. The dog froze. Master of time/space.2:07 PM Nov 8th from web
- * @ I tried to tell my kids, "If you swear all the time, you have nowhere to go when you REALLY F'N MEAN IT!" It didn't take.2:03 PM Nov 8th from web
- From "fimmakers w/ 5-letter-names that start with M" file, the quote was Murch ("In the Blink of an Eye"), not Mamet! (thanks @)1:54 PM Nov 8th from web
- @ didn't see that! Can you give us the highlight?1:07 PM Nov 8th from web in reply to dimsumthinking
- @ Just told a bad-ass/brilliant Icelandic horse trainer it's time for him to Crush It! Used your book. He got it (in a viking way)12:59 PM Nov 8th from web in reply to garyvee
- re: previous retweet (from @), Mamet gave us perhaps the single best advice (not just for film): "be... surprising yet self-evident"12:51 PM Nov 8th from web
- RT @ x = teaching. y = Mamet's "On Directing Film." Discusses engaging an audience less helpfully.12:48 PM Nov 8th from web
- @ they were all in individual pens. Still, I believe Andi DID take a delicious, cruel pleasure in sauntering past each gate.12:46 PM Nov 8th from web in reply to hopkinsju
- @ ;) Which part was like your boss? The "cultivating independent thought" or... that he thought you were "pets"?12:41 PM Nov 8th from web in reply to ndorfin
- @ ;) parents want strong-willed, independent, authority-questioning kids, but later wish they'd installed a manual override mode12:41 PM Nov 8th from web in reply to roanlavery
- One of horses learned to unlatch his gate. In the movies, he'd have then let all the others out. Instead, he mocked them & went for grass12:32 PM Nov 8th from web
- Cultivating independent thought/problem-solving in ours pets is all well & good 'till they start opening doors 12:29 PM Nov 8th from web
- @ thank-you, wow, just... thank-you.12:25 PM Nov 8th from web in reply to newman5
- @ I think of it as a heavy workout for my brain... but it's just a way to look to other domains... not reinvent the flat tire...12:23 PM Nov 8th from web
- @ right syntax, but it sounds like your "Y" book is *about* topic X. Y and X should be on different topics.12:18 PM Nov 8th from web in reply to graemeharre
- Figuring out how Y is connected to X (and how to apply Y to X) is even more important than any Y-specific details.12:14 PM Nov 8th from web
- * @ if X=teaching, I'll say Y="Save the Cat" [on screenwriting]. @ hmmm... if x=sex life, y="Four-hour Work Week"12:12 PM Nov 8th from web
