by the way...

i have been giving a lot of thought to the screenplay sooner has said i said i shoud write... and babs has agreed i should write... i still think it is a good idea, and i have an idea-

when i was 12 years old, i heard that brandon lee was killed durring the making of 'the crow' and i became obsessed... i saw an issue of 'people' magizine in april of 1993 which had brandon on the cover because of his death... i was poor, as i still am, so i could not afford it, but in july of that same year i saw it on the free magazine rack at the thrift store my mom worked at, and the obsession got even worse. i took that magazine home, and studied it. i read and memorized the interview, and wished to god i could see the movie. in august of 1993, i found $20 in the bushes outside of a bar, and my brother, myself, and my moms boyfriend all want to see "the crow." i took my moms boyfriend because i was only 12, and it is rated 'R'...

my obsession only got worse after that. i rented that movie a hundred times once it came out on video, i learned almost every line, and learned all that i could...i walked for 2 1/2 hours to a comic book store, in the blazing august sun, and since i was collecting comic cards at the time, and i traded a limited edition "professor x" plastic card (a comic card printed on clear plastic) for a 6 foot life sized poster of brandon lee, as the crow, walking in the rain- (the picture shown on the front of the vhs, and now the dvd)

durring my repeated watching of the film, i noticed something-just before the flashback scene, as he walks back into his apartment after his return, the part where he tears the "crime scene" tape is filmed in first person... looking through his eyes... i remember thinking it would be really sweet to see an entire movie filmed through someones eyes... once i am done with my screenplay, and i start to film my movie (i think you are right sooner, it will be a cult classic, as long as i can do it right) all of the murder scenes will be filmed in first person- see what he see's... hear what he hears... it is going to make as many people sick as it fascinates... i can't wait.
