Mirrors Looks Way

More From Wallace Shawn

I have become a giant fan of the testing process, especially with a comedy. i mean, they tell you what's funny. it's almost tailor-made for people who shoot the way we shoot, trying a million different options and versions of things. because the audience doesn't laugh at a joke, we put in another joke. if they don't laugh at the next joke, we put in another joke. you just keep doing them and you can get the movie to the point where every joke is funny, if you have enough options in the can.

Let go of your worries let go of your worries and be completely clear-hearted, like the face of a mirror that contains no images. if you want a clear mirror, behold yourself and see the shameless truth, which the mirror reflects. if metal can be polished to a mirror-like finish, what polishing might the mirror of the heart require? between the mirror and the heart is this single difference: the heart conceals secrets, while the mirror does not.
Letting Go Wisdom Truth
I keep on repeating something told to me by an american psychologist: "when you are making a joke about someone and you are the only one to laugh, it is not a joke. it is a joke only for yourself." if people are making a joke they have the right to laugh at me but i will ignore them. ignoring doesn't mean that you don't understand. you understand it so much that you don't want to react.

I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.
Laughter Fun Thinking
The problem is that we live in an uptight country. why don't we just laugh at ourselves? we are funny. gays are funny. straights are funny. women are funny. men are funny. we are all funny, and we all do funny things. let's laugh about it.
Country Laughter Gay
If a comedian tells a joke that you find funny, you laugh. if he tells a joke you do not find funny, dont laugh. or you could possibly go as far as groaning or rolling your eyes. then you wait for his next joke; if thats funny, then you laugh. if its not, you dont laugh - or at very worst, you can leave quietly.
