I don't know if the photo is iconic, and we had a discussion a while back on how iconic isn't as long-lasting as it used to be. Anyway, sleuths have found the original photo that was the final scene of the movie - I thought the producers just got a bunch of extras to pose with Jack Nicholson...

I liked him in the 1970's mini-series, "Shogun".

Hello everyone, First, the good news - some of my students have passed their bar exams and will be staying on as lawyers in my firm, even as the next group of students take their place. I have at least one more goal in Canada, for which I've got no results despite years of trying, and I've...

Everyone, I'll be heading to NYC around October 14 - 20, 2024, to the Comic Con and also to make contacts with the legal community. If anyone is in the vicinity and would like to meet up, please send me a direct message, thanks. And we can talk about anything, including filming.

Back again, everyone, Anyway, the late science fiction legend, Robert Heinlein, said Those may not be his exact words, but they sum up what he did say. Can this paragraph be turned into a screenplay? I'm not taking about people talking; I'm talking about this paragraph being the script. I...

I will remember him best as Vic Fontaine on Star Trek: DS9.

He was an iconic talk show host in the 1970's and 1980's, but the current generation don't know who he is, and, looking at the photo, the dress, and the idea of network TV, seems so archaic.

He's talking of the democratization of the internet, where Youtube and other social media platforms are eating into the market and, therefore, revenues of streaming shows. But he doesn't talk of internet celebrities like Lilly Singh who became famous because of Youtube and would eventually get...

Hello everyone, I will be attending an inaugural lecture at my alma mater, the Johns Hopkins University, in the nations capital from September 18 - 21,2024. Would anyone like to see me in person? If so, I can treat for lunch or dinner, and we can ...... talk about filming.

A decade after Disney bought the empire, the empire declines.

I have been under the impression that the Mouse House recouped its $4 billion purchase price with the new trilogy, but this Forbes article says otherwise. I'm not up on this, but it seems that the trilogy made the money, then the subsequent movies bombed, creating the loss. In any case...

The regulars know that I've been posting about how people talk about talking about making a film, and I think it's time to stop taking and do something. I'm going to write about writing. 😁

Hello, I don't know if you're living in a heat dome, but it's quite pleasant here. Anyway, I'm doing bits and pieces of writing, being a pantser by nature, and I tend to take a bit from a movie and then expand on the theme, often in a totally different direction from the film. I do the same, of...

Hello, There are lots of movies about famous people, and there are lots of movies about prominent historical figures who are not so well known to the public. But are there any prominent movies about someone who is not well known in any way?

I was in the same year as the founder, Mike Lazaridis, and we may even have been in the same class when we were taught by the legendary instructor of economics, Larry Smith. I hope to make movies one day and to have movies made about me.

Everyone knows how the Emcee at the Oscars made fun of his wife, and he went on stage and hit the Emcee, causing him to be banned for 10 years. I thought it was a publicity stunt, but it was real. As a lawyer, I have no tolerance for assault, so I would not cast him in my films, though I'm sure...

Hello everyone, As I've been saying, things are bubbling for me, and, after well over a decade, I may - repeat may - be willing to take that first step. I have spoken to my mentor, and we will meet to talk about forming my film production company, and perhaps finally getting one of my scripts...

I'm Asian, so I would like to wish you all a prosperous Year of the Rabbit.

This article highlights the problems with writing science fiction that accords with reality. In terms of aliens speaking English, Star Trek used a plot device - the universal translator - that dealt with the problem. But it did not deal with the issue that planets, even if similar to Earth, will...
