“I Alone Can Fix It” Is BULLSHIT Top To Bottom. Any Woman Could Tell You THAT…
Among the statements Donald Trump has made that most reflect a personal ‘philosophy’ is that one: “I alone can fix it”. And it epitomizes not only NARCISSISTIC ‘thinking’ but MALE thinking, too. In fact, it IS how males tend to think and problem-solve — unilaterally. If you look at the mythological heroes we Americans have…

Sometimes, It’s BEST To ‘Think Like’ A STORYTELLER…
If you want to have a shot at being a successful storyteller, you need to have a better grasp of how people actually tick than most other people.

Evil’s Too Smart To ‘Billboard Itself’; That’s Why It Births Itself In Banality…
Maybe it’s ‘my’ fault… ‘Our‘ fault if I include the rest of my screenwriting ‘tribe’. I could widen the tribe out to include anyone and everyone who ever helped make a movie that gave an audience the notion that Evil is BILLBOARD OBVIOUS the moment it ‘walks on stage’. Alas, if only more of my…

Disruption Good, Disruption Bad
We’ll never get to know — those of us living in the ‘Right Here Right Now’ — how our Time will be perceived by those who come long after us. Perspective sucks that way. To get the really, really good perspective — well, ‘You can’t there from here’ (as the say up in Maine). We…
