More From Chuck Palahniuk

The difference between ignorant and educated people is that the latter know more facts. but that has nothing to do with whether they are stupid or intelligent. the difference between stupid and intelligent people-and this is true whether or not they are well-educated-is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. they are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations-in fact, they expect them and are apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward.
Stupid Intelligent Differences
What is a scene? a) a scene starts and ends in one place at one time (the aristotelian unities of time and place-this stuff goes waaaayyyy back). b) a scene starts in one place emotionally and ends in another place emotionally. starts angry, ends embarrassed. starts lovestruck, ends disgusted. c) something happens in a scene, whereby the character cannot go back to the way things were before. make sure to finish a scene before you go on to the next. make something happen.
Character Unity Goes On
I've begun to believe more and more that movies are all about transitions, that the key to making good movies is to pay attention to the transition between scenes. and not just how you get from one scene to the next, but where you leave a scene and where you come into a new scene. those are some of the most important decisions that you make. it can be the difference between a movie that works and a movie that doesn't.

I love actors and i understand what has to happen within a scene. any scene is an acting scene and actors never act alone, so there has to be an interchange. if it's a dialog scene, if it's a love scene, it doesn't matter because you need to establish a situation.
Acting Needs Actors
What i don't like is when i see stuff that i know has had a lot of improv done or is playing around where there's no purpose to the scene other than to just be funny. what you don't want is funny scene, funny scene, funny scene, and now here's the epiphany scene and then the movie's over.
Purpose Done Want
Watching old movies is like spending an evening with those people next door. they bore us, and we wouldn't go out of our way to see them; we drop in on them because they're so close. if it took some effort to see old movies, we might try to find out which were the good ones, and if people saw only the good ones maybe they would still respect old movies. as it is, people sit and watch movies that audiences walked out on thirty years ago. like lot's wife, we are tempted to take another look, attracted not by evil but by something that seems much more shameful -- our own innocence.

At the beginning, my ambition was never to break down doors. it was just to earn tuition for myself and work in an industry where women hadn't been allowed or invited. that's all i wanted to do, not thinking that i would make waves, change minds, excite people, incite people, turn on people, repulse people.
