  • Yeah, I think something like 15 would be the perfect “fuck you” amount for something beyond Starbucks and fast food. Enough to make it worth going, but only really enough for an appetizer.

    Or be really horrible and just take one of the 50 or 100 ones for a decent restaurant, and just don’t get it activated. He won’t find out until they try to run it, I think.

    This might be the most horrible idea I’ve ever had.

    He was definitely an alcoholic, maybe a messiah of art outside of the even-more-predominant-today “industry.” Definitely a misogynist, not sure about genius. Probs?

    Not a huge fan, but I think his Columbo episode “Etude in Black” is genius. HIS genius? Not sure.

    I’d love to hear others’ thoughts about this auteur. Yes, this is not an original question, but I’ve never been able to ask anyone else about the subject.

    Edit: clarified my take on Cassavetes



  • Please, everyone listen to this person. I’m am so thankful to work at a school with NASA engineers and successful novelists/journalists who just want to share their passion. Kids know when you are phoning it in, and they respond by phoning it in themselves. Nothing good is accomplished. If you can afford it and handle it, please give your time to the next generation. They are awesome already, but could use as many mentors as they can get. Passion is hard to find these days.

    Doesn’t hurt to try. I know people who have taught at community college with just a bachelor’s degree in the subject. Hell, I only have a bachelor’s in my subject area, my master’s is in teaching, and I got a job before finishing my master’s. College prep high school. The teaching profession needs all the enthusiasm it can get, because that is really what kids respond to. My high school students would ADORE an actual software engineer teaching them. So many of them want to be you. This why teachers should be paid waaay more, as those who are talented in that regard can’t easily make ends meet.

    Edit: excised a word that should not have been there.
