This weekend, I checked out my nom de blog, though, and found this:*
* warning: the soundtrack isn't appropriate for the workplace, or around small children, or, frankly, around anyone. But it'll make you laugh until honey comes out your nose.
I also got a chance to watch an old movie this weekend. GHOSTBUSTERS is such a classic! Brilliant set-up of character, setting, conflict, and rising action. But the dialogue still seems like the highlight to me:
"Ray when someone asks
if you're a god, you say—YES!"
if you're a god, you say—YES!"
And for years, I used the phrase:
"I love this plan—
I'm excited to be a part of it!"
I'm excited to be a part of it!"
The special effects don't really hold up--it was made pre-CGI. Since I started writing in earnest, I'm more aware of the puppet-strings of books, shows, and movies. It ruins a lot of TV watching when you guess the ending six minutes into the opening.
But, when a story really pops, it's chocolate for the mind.
