He he. Almost a double dose of Gerry today. They are sending The Phantom of the Opera on Swedish television tonight. Almost over. And at the same time I have started a chapter in Medieval Europe 400-1500 on Attila which we know Gerry play some years ago:) Hence the picture... (Funny how I have to watch it even though I own it myself. Like I think have to watch The Fellowship of the Ring on Saturday... I mean why? I can watch the extended version anytime I like... Strange:) Well, of course I grab every chance I have to see Gerry; *kiss*)
Makes me think about movies... We should really try to look at making a script... Or at least laying down plans for ideas that can be developed. What kind of movies would we like to make? It would be a way of planning for London, wouldn't it? We need to have something to "sell" there. And if we are going to work together in the future, we should find out how we can best work together. We cannot keep butting our heads together every time we try to do any kind of work together:) In a way it is good that we know we have the potential to do that, and I think we should use it now to learn how our creative relationship should work. The more we learn now the better it will be when it really count. In London that is. Maybe one branch of our body of work this summer should be a lot of ideas for potential scripts. What do you think? Is it a good idea to work on something like that as a way of planning for London? It would be foolish to not have something wouldn't it. It would kill our spirits faster than lightning if we don't have a clear picture of what we are to do in London. It wouldn't be enough to just be there.
I am looking forward to everything that lies ahead of us. No matter what it is. It is going to be great. We are going to create great and adventurous lives for ourselves. Our writings aren't going to be anything less. I am sure of it. But we can't afford to procrastinate anymore. It is making us go crazy, despairing and restless. What do you say? No more excuses?;)

Definitely no more excuses. I just can't figure out what the hell I'm supposed to do. :)
I think it is important for us to have scripts and/or some body of work to present in London. Or something to create when we are there (although we should have completed something before that was successful so that we can have credentials or the path somewhat planned for us when we get there).
I think we should be able to work on our own before we can work together. I'm open to the idea of working on something for London together, but personally I'm still trying to test my own potential as a writer, so I don't know how good it would be. It's really hard for me to write. Most of it feels like shit. So when we try to work together, it's not going to be any different (at least for me in the beginning). I feel like we're always struggling for our own ideas. So, in my opinion, I would say No, not yet. Eventually, yes. But right now, I think it would be distracting for both of us. We have to learn how to write by ourselves before.
However, I have a twist on the same idea. . . We'll have our own body of works to discuss with each other and get critical feedback. Inklings meetings. Except a little more professional)))) We tend to get a little silly. . . which isn't bad, but we probably should focus a little more. And we should have something every week. We don't usually swap things we've already done for opinions.
Those three mexican filmmakers, Guillermo del Toro, and two other guys (the guy who directed children of men, and the other one directed Babel) also share their works with each other. They're supportive, but they're very honest with each other too. And sometimes they take each other's advice, sometimes they don't.
In other words, it would be nice to be creative and a little professional at the same time, or something like that. . .
Sometimes I think our butting of heads could become the potential to open ourselves to other sides. . . to the duality in a way)))
I don't know, I'm tired and I have a piercing headache, so just tell me I'm nuts and that you'll talk to me when I have a clear head (ha, if ever. . . )
