I found this in the old notebook that I'm putting Marlowe script notes in. It used to be a math notebook from the old Pulaski Tech days probably 5 years ago. As follows:
- College is like a huge airport only the passengers at the terminal never go anywhere. They just show up every day with their luggage to wait at the terminal. No one ever sees a jet. The airport personnel badger them every day with quizzes and books and graphs. If you don't cut the mustard you don't have the right to show up and wait every day at the terminal.
College is about waiting for the gravy train. With books. -
I was right, by God. Thankfully, film school is much different. In the end, I don't think anyone really gives a damn about grades on either side. You either have what it takes to make films or you don't. Half the class in Production I disappeared three weeks into the semester after they figured out that making movies is actual work. "I'll go to movie school because I like to sit on the couch and watch movies." Indeed.
It's also the kind of work that has to be done basically naked. You can't bring anything decent to the table with many clothes on. People have to find out exactly who are immediately. If you mind too much, you won't last. For the extroverted, it's like a party with hookers and blow. For the introverted, it's like going over the wall tied to a tree and searchlights and Thompson's fanning the yard. For the extroverted hiding the fact that they are really introverted....they need a psychologist to sort you out.
Indeed x 2, innit.
OK for the yard,
