Going to the library to see David Mamet. I hope there's time for questions so I can ask him about HEIST. SHIT I wish I had a copy of that for him to sign. Shit.
"David Mamet! Poker player, cigar smoker, male bonder, winner of the pulitzer prize, filmmaker chicagoian, genius. Why is david mamet a genius? Because at a very early age he learned three very important things about his audience. First, American's like speed; things that are fast. This is afterall the country that invented the rock song and the roller coaster, and might have invented the premature ejaculation if that hadn't been invented already. Second, David Mamet knows Americans don't like to pay for parking, so he keeps his plays short. And third, David Mamet knows how Americans like to talk, particularly American men. He appreciates that when American men go to the theatre they want to hear familiar words, like 'asshole' and 'jagoff!'" ... (For further reading pick up a copy of David Ives' All in the Timing) Funny, funny stuff, like Ionesco.
