(I'm feeling grateful) | | Disiderata.
Go placidly amid the noise & haste & remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly & clearly; & listen to others,
even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain & bitter;
for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble,
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals;
& everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affections.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity & disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the council of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue & loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees & stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labours & aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace with your soul.
With all it's sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrmann
(1927)

| | Can You Win An Oscar? | | | Monday, March 3, 2008 (1:06 AM)
(I'm feeling optimistic) | | Could you win an Oscar?
You've learned your lines and mastered your Method. But do you have what it takes to win an Oscar? Tackle our 10 crafty questions and discover if you're Academy material, or destined for a life of obscurity and/or pantomime
Are you ... ?
A woman under 30
A woman over 30
A man over 30 X
A man under 30
Are you ... ?
An American X
Someone from non-English speaking Yurp, or Africa, or that other continent
A Brit
An Australian
Which of these films would you most like to star in?
A honey-coloured quality project, adapted from a literary bestseller. Ideally set in the past and loaded with sweeping passions and historic disasters X
A ribald comedy set in an American high school. With lots of falling into swimming pools and stuff
A low-budget chamber piece, with a minimal cast and plenty of yakking. Maybe set during a Thanksgiving dinner, where dad argues with son and mom makes peace
Some abrasive art movie where the characters are either ciphers or symbols who speak in epigrams. Absurdist. Non-linear. Black-and-white
Which director would you, like, totally kill to work with?
Robert Altman
Little Ronnie Howard out of Happy Days X
One of those classy British guys: Mendes, Minghella, or Daldry. Failing that, Clint Eastwood
Paul Verhoeven, obviously
Which of these characters were you, like, totally born to play?
Woody Phlump, a mildly disabled American eccentric whose simple, homespun wisdom is balm to the souls of those who meet him X
Matt Malone, a maverick cop who rarely goes by the book, but always gets results
Willard Magruder, a principled southern politician who finds himself wrongly convicted of a racist murder
Julie Bloomers, a cheerleader who absolutely-positively has to stay a virgin until prom night
What do you look for in a film script?
A car chase, a sex scene and some low comedy involving funny-shaped balloons
Something that, like, has something important to say about global issues. Like racism or war. Or love
Lots of long speeches. Opportunities to cry. A final scene that either involves a redemption or a protracted death
An involving story with believable characters X
What would you never do, even if the script expressly called for it?
Ugly yourself up, with false noses and bad haircuts etc
Take your clothes off X
Keep your clothes on
Play a cameo role
How many friends do you have in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences?
Quite a few. Most of them retired actors in Palm Springs rest homes, God love 'em
Just the one. Until he was expelled for posting that Oscar screener on his personal website X
The Academy of what-now?
On first names with most of them. Plus they all come to your annual Academy BBQ, where you screen the rushes from your current film
When would you like to see your movie released to the masses?
November, December, January time, just as the awards season gets started X
In spring or summer, when all the kids are on holiday
In September. For an entire week's run at the Institute of Contemporary Art
Anytime. And straight to video. Who needs cinemas?
Ideally, your seat for the forthcoming Academy Awards would be ...
Right on the aisle, so you can run unimpeded to the podium if your name is called
On the settee, in front of the telly. Next to a six-pack and a box of popcorn
Mid-row, at the back. Right by the toilets, should nature call
Somewhere in the third row, surrounded by the Hollywood great and good X
You scored 33
Oscar worthy. It's hard to believe your mantelpiece isn't already laden with naked gold men. But adept politician that you are you've no doubt been waiting for the perfect moment and cultivating your connections. Fear not: this year is your year.
Now Its Your Turn!
