Yeah I learned a lot about writing, I hope it helps me overcome my "write one sentence then give up" thing I have been doing forever.

I kind of like the advice to new writers given, I think, by Larry Niven: If something is keeping you from writing... let it.

didn't record a back up for last weekend's movies... Sorry, family was in town. 

I don't recall hearing much of this, but I was wondering if you all could talk more about the role of psychology in storytelling.  At least in regards to how it dictates the decisions one makes as a storyteller when putting the story together. 

I recently listened to the phantom editor's commentaries for the Phantom Edit and Attack of the Phantom, and I was struck by how involved some of the decisions he made were.  He talked extensively about psychology dictating his cuts.

What's on the slate this weekend, DiF? Depending on what it is, I think I'd like to trope again, if that's cool.

Saturday. Ah, damn. Gonna have to sit this one out. Someone else can trope. At least I got to do The Shining (which was difficult, but fun) and Slither (which I suspected would be fun, and ended up being a blast. The second that one's available, I'm putting it on a DVD like I did for Jaws).

Looks like you'll be unPavlich'd tomorrow. I know it's going to be tough, but try to go on.

I don't trope, I will end up being on the website all day.

Oh, Priest. That should be a fun listen

And Body Snatchers '78, yay!

Hee hee. Our schedule right now goes in order of recording.

Shaun tomorrow, then Planet Terror, then The Shining, then Slither, then Body Snatchers. After that it's back to the regularly unscheduled crapshoot, but I like the Priest commentary quite a bit and it's sure to come up soon.

Not to say I won't get a wild hair and post a secret link to it sometime before then. It's happened before.

when will we be getting source code?  also, when do you all think you'll finish kick-ass?
