If Chins Could Kill
I'm reading If Chins Could Kill, Bruce Campbell's memoirs. I'm just finishing his account of making Evil Dead. This is making me want to do several things.
- Watch Evil Dead
- Act. Lots.
- Write
- Make a movie
That last one probably won't happen just yet, or even for a while; I need more experience on some of the others first. And those are things I really need to get going on. If you think about it, keep me accountable. Ask me when the last time I wrote, jotted, or brainstormed was. Keep on me about developing myself as an actor, practicing, learning new skills, developing what I've got.
I knew discipline once. Help me know it again.

Basically, you don't need any of this school shit. You need to do it, and be serious about it and have the tenacity to say fuck you to anyone who doubts you or your aspirations. A lot of students watch films. But not a lot go home and train. Train their writing. I will write tonight. No different than running. I will act tonight, I'll memorize these lines and say them until they sound believable, until I become them. It's just a matter of getting your ass in gear and buckling down... and packing up your car and driving down to Tally to work on sets with me. I'm on set until tuesday, and then in two weeks I'm back and another two after that... your call. Come see what actually happens.
