ahem

i spent some time yesterday reading blogs. too many typoes. its cos i tend to do it late at night, tired, can't see etc. and this thing is the toy of maleficient gremlins. so will say todays news, correct typoes, and moan at cp cos still no story. got to do other things. if not too tired will make other entry on history tonight, about 2300.
pleased wiv myself today...done the entire scenelist of 'homeward bound'wiv lot of dialogue at work. now got to stick it on cards...but i think i got something a lot faster and less fiddly. now i'm talking about 'silent place' just watch film in bonce wiv other hat on; that of bright filmgoer who just spent £33 on taking family to see this film. !! blimey does that work!! like anything! so yesterday rewrote the entire scenelist; its a lot more watchable, ie faster, subplot, some things toned down, others banged right in there. one must avoid at all costs being slow rather than scary; what works on paper might not work in a cinema. i knew that! i won't watch most modern 'comedies' i mean on big screen because their timing is too slow, the humour flogged to death. that kind of comedy only works well on tv. i noticed years ago that where reasonably serious films had a light moment, provided it fitted the story..thats hilarious. but woody allen, the big screen montys, ewww... and look how wildly funny hammer films are; their stories too limited, predictable, the actors too earnest with dialogue obviously scribbled by barbara cartland on sherry... yet the old carry-ons only make very old or very young [males] really laugh. anyone else sitting with a smile over 14 years old is just being patriotic.

i can remember when we first got a telly [b/w] that the cat didn't blow up right off we as a family used to religiously watch the real funnies. steptoe , harry, benny, fawlty towers, we used to literally die laughing; same wiv the radio; horne, goons...all of them there was on tv in britain for donkeys years absolutely the funniest things. what happened? why is the only funnies now..well the best was brittas and red dwarf; both send-ups really. and do you know what it is? its no talented comic writers, or maybe they get one funny and kill it, or they simply don't know you don't use the same timing constantly. they have never heard of building up, with sidesteps on the way, situations are funnier than silly overdone stereotypes. on tv i mean. everything now is either 'dirty sex' which is supposed to be liberating, or this rubberface type in resemblances going on and on. but they never bothered with that over much before. allen, carrot, the chap wiv the teeth...i can't recall any of them bothering. its just not funny 100000 times.
anyway if you want that response of ours...which up and down England was every house in every street..on the cinema..look for your timing. its far too slow, obvious and there's no build-up to the funny catastrophe. hm. sound like i know...maybe...all the stuff i got in hand now is terribly serious. worthy. how ghastly to be 'worthy' think i'll let subcs stew on the idea...wot about a funny?
anyhow in good spirits. thought yesterday i must have slipped into Anat in the night, or had all my spirits murdered or something. all day thinking i was only a brain left alive for a bit. but today feeling different. still no one within or wiv me. but feel optimstic.. right time for tea. do my storyboard.
