A Conversation for Talking Point: Jim'll Fix It!

Fruitbat (Eric the) Started conversation Jun 13, 2001
I would like (in no particular order):
Screenwriting classes with Herman Mankiewicz, Orson Welles, Robert Bolt, Monty Python, Dennis Potter and Lawrence Kasdan;
Directing classes with Orson Welles, Sir David Lean and William Wyler;
To make a picture with cinematographers Sven Nykvist, Vitorio Storaro, Gregg Toland;
To lock Stephen Hawking in a room with Douglas Adams and only release them when they've sorted out the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything.....
To make sure that everyone got a Mac for life -
- and the fibre-optical link to the WWW to go with it;
To walk in space and homestead on the Moon;
To live long enough to both witness the evolution of our society into something a lot more sensible (this has already started, but it may take longer than I'm expecting....) and be instrumental in assisting this change.....(like making EVERYTHING recyclable and ensuring that everything is recycled)....
To cause so profound a change in Hollywood that they actually take the Author's words seriously and honour the writers;
To have some of my 'madder' screenwriting dreams turned into productions for everyone's pleasure/benefit.....
To get rid of all those polluting, petrol-powered cars and replace them with something much more environmentally friendly;
That's enough for now.
