This is why it's hard for me to write true full stories, such as a novel or screenplay. I dislike conflict.

No, seriously, I've found that my favorite parts of movies and books are the harmonious parts, or perhaps the triumphant endings, but the real conflicts make me squirm.

Most of my "big" story ideas are simply the first acts.

Oh wait this is the movie thread

You know, the biggest reason I don't see smaller arty films is parking. Apparently all small theaters in the Seattle area must be located such that the only parking available is highly competative street parking.

Of course, now that I think about it, we now have a central garage permit, so we could always park there and walk to the u-district theaters.

Well I finally took my boy to see X-Men III today. Yea I know, I'm a bit behind the curve.

Anywho... One the way home we came up with a fun game.

Pick a mutant power and then come up with a way to use that power to make a living in an honest, legal and ethical way.

For example: Magneto in building construction (or destruction)

It's harder than you might think for some of them.. Like the porcupine kid.

Although I love a lot of CG movies, I'm getting sort of tired of the CG look. I don't know, maybe I prefer a CG/2D blend. I love the Pixar stuff, but I'm getting bored of that glossy, rounded look. :shrug:

That's a good one. Thanks for the laugh!

What was the blue guys power? If my kid was awake I'm sure he'd know his name and power. It sucks getting older.

Beast. He's super stong, fast and acrobatic. He's a super smart scientitst but I guess that's not necessarily a mutant ability. He also has claws but I don't think they are as useful as Wolverine's.

I'm an X-Men nerd.

So I was having a fan girl moment and cruising Alan Cumming's profile on imdb, when I see this:

Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll

Proposed cast is a big yay. Subject matter obviously a yay. But director, actor, composer, producer - Marilyn Manson?! I'm so terrified.
