Plotting Along

Yeah, yeah, I know.  Boldest instance of reusing art yet.  I’ve been spending the last couple of days playing with Windows  7 (the release candidate, haven’t been able to afford an actual upgrade).

To quote my favorite philosopher, “Don’t take life too seriously, you’ll never get out of it alive.”

Transcript: English

Jaz: Cliché wasn't the word I was looking for.

Shirley: Maybe not, but my experience was just like all the others that I'd read about. At first I took it all at face value. But later, as I researched near death experiences, I found that the subject's experience was often colored by aspects of their own religion and background, so I started doubting it. Finally I realized the truth. It didn't matter. Either my oxygen starved brain had manufactured the whole event, or I really had left my body and gained a glimpse of the Here-After, but whatever it really was, wasn't important. I'd found a reason for living and lost my fear of dying. How long your life is, isn't what matters, it's what you do with it.

Jaz: That's pretty inspiring.

Shirley: And the plot of three to five made-for-TV movies each year.

    There’s nothing wrong with recycling artwork. Just about every comic artist in the classic newspaper strips did it, and Walt Disney filed every pencil sketch and re-used them later. There’s a dance scene in ROBIN HOOD (1973) lifted almost exactly from SNOW WHITE (1937). About the only one I know of who knocked out astounding original artwork every day was Walt Kelly, and I don’t think anyone will ever know how he did what he did on a daily deadline basis….
