It took him 6 hours to show us a 100 minute movie.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-1164046526063584562006-11-20T13:15:00.000-05:002006-11-20T13:15:00.000-05:00I am having a zillion little revelations today...a...I am having a zillion little revelations today...and instead of writing am rereading rthe beginning of all my favorite books and man...the dude is RIGHT!!!!<BR/><BR/>Ingrid Bergman, Maureen - he would so scorn you right now.<BR/><BR/>And as for the book class question -- the class IS the book with some tiring rants about women and "cripples" and european film and great long monologues about how many movies he's seen and how he really is an authority on stuff thrown in.<BR/><BR/>But even if you've read the book you should if given the chance go see him.

I may have to pick up his book just to see what the insanity that is Robert McKee is really about. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-1164000618099695282006-11-20T00:30:00.000-05:002006-11-20T00:30:00.000-05:00Sounds like a fascinating weekend!

I'm so sorry I had to miss it!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for inviting me to join the Drunk Writers.

I may have just been tired, but it blew me away. I came out thinking he's brilliant. That he's someone who knows a lot about a lot of things. (Rather than a little about a lot, or a lot about a few, like most "experts" in various fields... I mean, he was discussing Renaissance painting techniques and how it relates to Isabella Rosselini's placement in the frame in every scene in Casablanca!)<BR/>Tiring but great weekend...Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.com
