There are more books I'd like to read than actually reading now. Then again there are also books laying around my house I've been supposed to read but giving up mid-sentence as a result of trying too hard on one fucking word. I do this all the time, even with shit I'm assigned to read in school and even when I know I'm gonna ENJOY what I have to fucking read but still I'm distracted.
Anyway, it's really just an over-thought habit I need to get over. Another habit I gotta kick is putting too much on my plate and setting Stefanovik up for disaster. I mean notice how I said books.
One of the main books I'd like to be reading is Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison, but right now all I've been passively making the time to gaze upon are the following:
-Me and You and Memento and Fargo. A book on screenwriting.
Really good first chapter that epitomized the lost protagonist and related it to one of my favorites, Jim Jarmusch's Stranger than Paradise . I wanna keep it going though I don't have much time to read a book of this length when it's due in a month. This is considering my lazy over thought habit, mind you.
While I'm essantially against reading BOOKS about IMAGES just like I am against self-help books (which this one pretty much is), I need some guidance before I take on the trials of writing a complete and presentable screenplay.
-The Films of Lars Von Trier. A thesis on the man's work. Huge fan.
I've literally only read the first few pages about (stoned as fuck) but I can already say I'm obsessed with the Dogme 95 manifesto. Come back. Please. Antichrist was good but it's clear we're in need of another cinematic revolt. But that'll eventually be my job.
