What does the title have to do with the post?
"Absolutely Nothing," - Dark Helmet, "Space Balls"
My wife and I have many times spoken about my ability to recall minutiae from films across time, and possibly, space. Music oddities creep in sometimes. It's like I speak a strange dialect of the same language, built around metaphor and analogies.
And then I write stuff like that, which is crystal clear. You can't miss the message there. Am I a different person when I write? What about dialogue?
I suspect it would be easier for me to dialogue in quotes (hah!) than to use actual human-type communication. Many people have noted that my characterization tends to be flat, and the 2-D of film could accentuate that positively, use it for me rather than suffering for it.
Pasta Louisa.

"Many people..." You mean when your creative writing instructor said the characters in your short story and play needed to be more developed and I concurred? Hey, it's a tricky thing and anyway, it doesn't mean that your writing sucks. So there.
Who was that with Jalad at Tenagra, anyway?
St. Francis of Assisi wrote primarily and very fluidly in biblical quotes. They're never forced; it was just the language that he spoke and had internalized. The Catholic Church has always considered that feature of his writing to be one of the proofs of his holiness - that he so submitted his will to God's will that he spoke God's words, what, 80% of the time.

So I've submitted myself to the pop-culture of the 80's will?
I feel the urge to buy a beemer, through a drunk girl in the trunk, and drive to Mexico.
