I was on the screening committee of a film festival for 18 years, and have seen thousands of student films. They are usually sincere, often strident, and oddly, overly literal, and overtly symbolic, all at the same time! Are you as fond of the use of the jackhammer as I was? It is one of my favorite scenes.

It does kind of show on the screen, bestowing the film with the only compelling scenes in it. It's not so much what Cooper and Neal do, it's more about the steam floating off the screen in their scenes together. That chemistry has more to do with the dialog of them spouting about how much they're holding themselves in contempt for debasing their integrity, than the typical "swooning mush" we usually see..We like to see Fire/Ice on the screen. So more passionate that way. I always remember the importance of lighting, camera angles, blocking, editing, and dialog which shows two people fighting their hearts with their minds. > Coop, how could you? Mr. Integrity. I didn't think he's lost any. Being Mr. Integrity must get pretty dull sometimes. > I suppose everybody knows that Patricia Neal was married (although after the Cooper affair) to children's writer Roald Dahl. I think she was under-rated. Look at Face in the Crowd, and Hud > (Talk about steamy.) Ditto.

I found this morning some beautiful sunsets in Florida. Along with some John Denver.. I will be travelling there in June, and doing some research in Key West. Anyone there? What should I look for in Key West? I will be checking out the cemetery--and the bars!

Dan Fogelberg. I discovered his music when lite rock stations played his work in the 70s and 80s. I like these. Part of the Plan: In the Morning: And for Sunday today.. *Don't Lose Heart:* I'm off to breakfast.. My son's treating me. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there.

He signed my ticket, I got silly and told him I admired his music because he used such interesting chord progressions. We talked about music for a few minutes, Enjoyed it a great deal, One of my favorite Fogelberg's songs is Part of the Plan.. I'll look for it and post it..
