When I was a kid, my mom used to leave a radio on in my room playing ‘easy listening’. Whenever the song Copacabana came on, I’d have nightmares.

Snow!

* * *

“Sherlock!”

“Elementary!”

“House.”

* * *

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl…

A lot of time with network television shows, I think that for ‘drama’, they actually type the word ‘drama’ into the script and hope the actors know what to do…

* * *

I want to do a ‘found footage’ movie about the creation of the ‘shaky cam’ or ‘vomit cam’ as I like to call it.  In IMAX.  3D.

So.  You have a decision to make.  It won’t be easy.  I suggest you take your time, weigh your options carefully.  Pay particular attention to both the pros and the cons.  Don’t just blurt out your answer, either.  Rookies make that mistake all the time.  You can’t trust this sort of thing to instinct, not if you want to make it through to the other side.  And for godsakes, do not panic.  Don’t even let the idea float around in your head.  Do that, and they’ll see the fear, they’ll smell it, and rip you apart.  That’s not something you ever want to see, let alone experience first hand.  So when they show up at your door, when they pound on the screen or mash on the bell, be ready.  Be strong.  And when you answer, don’t hesitate.

Trick?  Or treat?
