In being a writer and a filmmaker one of the worst things I believe that someone can do is plagariaze another human beings work. In writing and in life I am always inspired by other people's work. So it's quite common for me to be experiencing something with someone and blurt out a line from a movie or book. I love this part of life- being able to sum up the moment in just one line or phrase.
I love it when you guys bust them out to. Damn, you fuckers crack me up.
I also enjoy writing this way as well. With this in mind I plan on documenting every line that I use from another artist. Hell, credit's due where credit's earned.
So just wanted to give you this heads up so you'll understand what I mean when I document and give props and kudos by putting them in parenthisis and italics.
If I ever fail in doing this by mistake and someone brings this to my attention I will always go back and edit it in as soon as possible.
For example if I use a line from a movie I'll try to put the artists responsible for creating them like this (Actor's name. Movie's Name. Screenwriter's Name {So Under-Credited in real life}. Book Authors Name {if applicable}. Director's name.)
You with me kid?
No. Well I feel like I'm starting to babble here so instead I'll just say Donnie, shut the fuck up. (John Goodman. The Big Lebowski. The Coen Brothers. The Coen Brothers.)
Got it?
All right. Now let's rock.
