If you're feeling a burn from crazy time, keep going.
butt fires, registered... but it's whatever, and an abomination
¿What you heard?
The giant ballerina I used to date would tell me about her crazy time, a period of pretty much only ballet that was prerequisite for the life that she had when I knew her as a professional dancer in NYC.
I spoke with a dude this week who has been crazy time-ing for film for about the past four years and has now made the valiant decision to quit crazy time so that he can live again.
I’m listening to his thrilling self-resurrection scheme, and I’m thinking ‘damn. Should I take this as advice?’ So I ask him.
“If you’re feeling a burn from crazy time, keep going,” he says, so I discreetly cop a feel of my own butt for affirmation, and there it is, the scalding warmth of a crazy time fire (not quite Palisades but at least an Eaton) burning up my work-life balance but rocket power-ing my career.
What you doin’?!
Registering a script with the WGA really doesn’t mean much. If it did, it would most definitely cost more than 20 dollars.
Plus, there’d probably be some stupid processing fee and some unnecessary five to 10 business days of wait time.
Luckily, there’s none of that. It’s one of the most instantly gratifying transactions ever, but gratifying for what?
Officially, I’m supposed to feel gratified that, for the next five years, there is some form of proof that I wrote this screenplay in case anyone ever challenges me.
Honestly, I don’t really care about that.
My gratification comes from the notion that this story that has existed as a malleable Play-Doh over two years and across 13 drafts has now hardened in a way, set, locked… even though I fully realize that, in reality, there are still many more changes to come.
What you seen??
TEEN TITANS GO! (2013-) is so profoundly despised by all the good nerds who have watched the original Teen Titans (2003-2006), but I am not one of those nerds.
I haven’t seen a single of the 66 Teen Titans episodes but have watched over half of the 404 (and counting) episodes of Teen Titans Go!.
One of the biggest complaints is that, compared to its source material, the animation quality in Teen Titans Go! is, in its own self-deprecating words, “an abomination,” but actually, that’s part of what I love about it.
It frequently features different animation styles ranging from early TV cartoon to classic Teen Titans to inspired by 1980s album art and even sometimes switches to live action clips using puppets or even just some animator’s hand clicking that lil gizmo on the side of an ice cream scooper.
