I caught myself wanting to write about the different syllabi I've had with film classes, but then I realized that's another book. I want to concentrate on the healing self-care transformative part.
So now I'm leaning into the outsider, the outlier, the outcast
I'm also leaning into bad movies and how you can love some
I'm guessing in October I'll switch over to the horror genre in examining why people love horror movies

I want to work on the romcom, crying at the movies, and grieving
How comedy helps us
)
In a coming weekend I want to work on that ecriture feminine
Blend with memoir writers
I've realized, I should just write about the movies that I love. I mean there's so many that I want to include in the book. So this might be another way to think about which movies would fall into which categories. I mean school of rock is definitely one of those anti-authoritarian films, a feel-good film for teenagers, similar to Kings of summer.
I need to get to the point where I can just say movie, people behind the movie, Cinema therapy value
The straight story, good at looking at someone's Legacy they leave behind, as well as family reconciliation
Big fish, it's some kind of eulogy
Goodwill hunting, living up to a real potential, abuse Survivor
Dead Poets society, about suicide awareness
This is a note to look for any of the Alamo Drafthouse writing I did, and then also include the movies I had seen and what times. I just feel like I did biting about it but so it must be in a Word document somewhere.
I also need to update the edits that bill sent me for gauge four and then also send him the projectionist writing. I should also use that video I found about the projectionist as well as sprinkle in things about it being an archetype. Of course this will include screen land.
Bill Schaefer is going over some of the facts in my essay about Gage 4.
I really want to finish Ferris Bueller's Day Off to get that essay done as in watch the rest of it.
Then I might finish the fast food part. I really want to get down the way to format my cinema therapy suggestions. And I'll use that as a constant.
I also want to interview Laura about the movies that have made a difference in her life.
I did revisions for summer, but now I only want to watch Kings of summer, set up how I will talk about movies, and then also incorporate some of the things from the books.
Part of me does want to include movie dialogue and then just worry about the get copyrights later
