I wrote a screenplay. I'm looking for suggestions on how to have my script read and evaluated by a Hollywood agent or anyone in the entertainment industry. I do not live in Hollywood and I do not know anyone in the business. Thank you.

Am busy writing an essay on how I'd teach war poetry and have this nice section where I play a hypothetical radio clip, but just had a panic as to whether there were public radio broadcasts in WW1. Help!?!

"Straw Dogs" received immensely positive reviews despite it being incredibly pessimistic (perhaps to the point of misanthropic nihilism.) I have decidedly mixed feelings about Gray's work. I applaud any philosopher who attempts to bring together Western and Eastern philosophy... but I am unsure whether or not Gray has succeeded. What do you think?

THE POST-INDUSTRIAL SIMULACRE

It has been some decades since Western culture could be accurately described as Industrial. Since the under-consumption crisis of the Thirties, we have shifted entirely into a social structure dominated not by production but by reproduction, not by equivalence but by commutation, not by merchandise but by the model. We live in a post-industrial world. A world no longer where all labor is exchanged and loses its singularity but where labor and leisure become entwined. Not a culture bought and sold but one where all cultures simulate one another. Not a place where love is prostituted but where a liberated keel sexuality is compulsory. And an era in which time is no longer accumulated like money but is broken in a confused web of nostalgia,
fetishism and futurism.

"I was pondering whether one opinon could ever be superior than another, or if many of the same opinons were superior over one single different opinion. I have concluded that it's all a matter of opinion." A quote of mine, agree, disagree, humerous, stupid? Give me your opinion, lol.

It seems the great Bard was high on Grass when he composed this sonnet!! PCP or LSD??

**
SONNET 76

Why is my verse so barren of new pride,
So far from variation or quick change?
Why with the time do I not glance aside
To new-found methods and to compounds strange?
Why write I still all one, ever the same,
And keep invention in a noted weed,
That every word doth almost tell my name,
Showing their birth and where they did proceed?
O, know, sweet love, I always write of you,
And you and love are still my argument;
So all my best is dressing old words new,
Spending again what is already spent:
For as the sun is daily new and old,
So is my love still telling what is told.

how could it be any sweeter than snickers?
how could it be any more gratifying than an orgasm?

2007-12-06 18:54:35 · 12 answers · asked by Thankful 1 in Philosophy

for anyone who is familiar with this satirical piece... when Swift says (in the 9th paragraph i believe) "I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London[...]", is he talking about an American as we know it today (as in someone from the colonies, what we know as the USA)?

or, by American, is he referring to a person of another descent? maybe south american? or what? PLEASE HELP!
