(This installment of We're All Dying is brought to you by Strong-Arm Redistribution: Don't fuck with us.) Some of the most exciting new ideas for the stage and screen have come from the pen of our guest, Mitchell Mishougina. He thinks that the real story of how he came up with his scripts is just as thrilling as his content and has compiled his most memorable moments as an author into what promises to be a blockbuster movie. And it's about time we included the author in a production. Yes, we authors are often concerned about keeping the content realistic. In my movie there are no special effects, just the stark reality of my life. I understand you brought along some clips of action scenes. Why don't we take a look at them? Now here's you typing something into a computer. It looks like you're taking dictation. Actually, I'm watching a golf game and typing it out in my own words in real time. What else do you have? There's you in front of your monitor but you're not typing. This is one of the suspense scenes where I'm trying to think of a rhyme for a verse. In a few minutes I'll open up my thesaurus and discover the word 'flinders'. Are there any scenes of you away from your computer? No, but I open a box of Arrowroot cookies just before the climax. Aren't you afraid of leaving movie goers under-stimulated? Not at all. If they need more, they can read the book. |
