This is a wrestling picture; the audience wants to see action, drama, wrestling, and plenty of it. They don’t wanna see a guy wrestling with his soul -- well, all right, a little bit, for the critics -- but you make it the carrot that wags the dog. Too much of it and they head for exits and I don’t blame ‘em. There’s plenty of poetry right inside that ring, Fink. Look at “Hell Ten Feet Square.”

Look at “Blood, Sweat, and Canvas.” These are big movies, Fink. About big men, in tights -- both physically and mentally. But especially physically.”

A case of the chicken or the egg. I was watching Being John Malkovich the other night and one thing always perplexed me about the film’s concept. The Charlie Kaufman/Spike Jonze strange creation seemed like a film that was virtually impossible to green light but somehow slipped through the cracks. Aside from the fact that I am in awe every time I see it I always wondered how this actor dependent screenplay was approached in the writing stage. Did Kaufman originally think of Malkovich when writing it? Was the deal struck before a page was written? What if he backed out? After all, it’s his heeeeeead! Could this concept have worked with say Al Pacino? Tom Cruise? Or what I think could have been another, just as wacky alteration on this theme; Being Christopher Walken!

What a strange, strange passing. Details about this will arise in the next day or so. He was a young actor who I thought actually had the goods. Ledger was 28. Very shocking and sad news.
