"Just out of waldorfs,"
a Python - salad reference.
Well, Fawlty Towers.

i defend the greek
feta, so sweet, so salty
why does it offend?

LSPoorEeyorick · 04-06-2005, 03:10 PM

reading some memoirs
to research a new screenplay.
Rosebud, and Run-Through

funny, point-of-view.
one thing happens, but twenty
ways to interpret.

orson welles said that
houseman was in love with him
(he thought all men were.)

houseman's metaphor
likely confused welles; genius
knew not subtlety.

o, for unbiased
source! too long since mercury's
evaporated.

how to interview
peter bogdanavich? call
his agent, maybe?

"This is Orson Welles"
by Peter B. is rife with
exaggerations.

Leaming's Orson tome
is much more believable
but not as much fun.

I want to know more
about your screenplay, LS.
When will it be done?

LSPoorEeyorick · 04-06-2005, 03:41 PM

not soon enough for
my tastes! bf and i stuck
in our day jobs, sigh!

the narrative rests
on john and orson's friendship
(if you call it that)

if we find a grant
(and are granted that grant) then
we could concentrate.

there's so much to do
to get a better picture
parsing fact from fic.

it seems all of welles'
stories are whale-of-a-tale.
read simon callow?

Olives revolt me
Feta I feel just okay
Cucumber is nice

mousepod · 04-06-2005, 03:59 PM

Sure, I've read Callow.
I admire his research,
his tone, not so much.

The very thought of
writing about Welles shows that
old Orson had "weight".

There's a certain charm
in keeping fiction and fact
a little confused.

Especially when
he broadcast 'War of the Worlds'
and filmed 'F for Fake'.

I think of Houseman
as the law school professor
from "The Paper Chase"

If you get your grant
And finish your work quickly
I'd love to read it.

LSPoorEeyorick · 04-06-2005, 04:29 PM

by all means you must
read houseman's Run-Through.
fascinating man.

the manchild savant
spent life blurring lines between
his realities

a welles biopic
ought to foxtrot around the
chalk-smudged truths therein.

while i want to keep
discussing our shared interest,
we've hijacked the thread!

to shift the groovin'
a nonsequitor haiku
will follow this one

first you take a rag
put it in the bag, bump-bump.
do not feed the bears

Heidi is master of the haiku. MASTER!

1. The right size, he said
Or is it? I sighed. For it
Was certainly not

2. I manic the days,
Friends; I panic in rapture
As limbo awaits.

3. Caligula lived
In fear of the God son his
Sister might have born.

4. Electricity
And Ennui are dark hearts
Webbed in Filigree
