I love technology, there are a lot of cool technology tools that make my life easier, enable me to be more creative and many others feel the same way as well. But it's also important I believe to pass along to the next generation -- and to recognize ourselves -- that sometimes there's nothing like a great book.
My wife, who teaches Children's Literature in the Education School at a local university, came across the following cute video that was produced to promote a new kids' book titled 'It's A Book' by Lane Smith.
Now from one computer loving person to another, don't take it too seriously -- I think it's funny.
In the book he interviews Callie Khouri, James Cameron, Ted Tally and
Michael Blake - the four screen writers responsible for these four screen plays. What's interesting about this book is that each of the four movies are based on four different screen-play 'beginnnings'... from original work to adaptation from short story and novel. From Syd Fields website "This analysis of four
groundbreaking contemporary classics, in-depth interviews and
comparative remarks will help any screenwriter reach the goal of great
writing, commercial success, and winning entertainment"
