So, facebook, lately youve listened to me lament the fact that I love film and want to write films. Its a terrible passion to have. The industry is awful and most big movies are awful and to be an introvert writer in such a social industry is AWFUL and I hate it. Im very much sick and tired of pursuing what I really want to do at odd hours with no success, no readers, and no movies to show for it. Then I watched a really dumb online independent sci fi spoof movie that reminded me of all the reasons I love it, and why Ill never stop doing it. Bad art is a distraction. Great art changes people. For every two dozen Phantom Menaces, there is a Return of the King. For every two-bit Shyamalan, a Stanley Kubrick is born. For every poor soul who groans during an Adam Sandler-funded Rob Schneider vehicle, there is a child crying life-affirming tears when Bambis mom is shot. Somewhere out there, a film student is finding out what Rosebud means for the first time. A man is pausing as Fredo prays the Hail Mary on a boat over Lake Tahoe. A woman grasps her heart as Bogies love flies off into the foggy night. All it takes is one moment to change a person. And that one moment... no matter how fleeting... is worth a thousand Transformers.
