It’s all about story as we all know and have known. There’s no magic bullet and there’s no screenwriting book that’s going to give you the formula. A combination of life’s hard lessons learned, an instinct for what moves people and raw, unfiltered talent will always win. So let’s hand it to those out there who finally are coming around and realize everything I have just said to be the truth. Here they are:

  • Producer Mark Gill tells us how fucked the independent film world is. But hey, there’s hope.
  • Storytellers unite.
  • Bad writing sucks. Let’s try to fix that, mmmmmkay. [via THND]

That should keep you busy thinking for a while.

While some sites are dicking around with reviews of Kung Fu Panda [I kid, I kid] there’s an avalanche of good stuff on the interweb today:

  • A massive film resource database is here for all to enjoy. The Moving Image Source. Well…enjoy! [via The Reeler.]
  • Writer/director/one of the reasons I pray to the film gods Paul Schrader and cinematographer extraordinaire Ed Lachman speak at BAM. [Video clips.]
  • More Schrader. Notes from Kevin B. Lee on the underappreciated Light Sleeper.
  • Steven Boone crashes Antoine Fuqua’s Brooklyn block party.
  • How dare you disrespect Abel Ferrara!!!

Here’s a collection of a few interesting stories to keep you busy while I tend to the boy. I wouldn’t want you to forget about me. Here ya go:

  • If you are old enough to have had Mad Magazine part of your upbringing [I weep for you if you didn't] you will really love this.
  • Yeah, you’re not alone. Today’s music does suck.
  • 16:9, television and that whole “letterbox” thing.
  • Artie Lange goes apeshit.
