I love these pictures of Desilu staffer Bill McGovern slating scene after scene of Star Trek with a nonchalance bordering on apathy. Some of the greatest scenes and most iconic characters in sci fi TV history, and McGovern, clapboard in hand, looks like he couldn’t care less if his life depended on it.

The only way The Work - even for lawyers - can be done well and be fulfilling. #Repost @__nitch with @repostapp ・・・ Saul Bass // "The fact of the matter is, I want everything we do...to be beautiful. I don’t give a damn whether the client understands that that’s worth anything, or that the client thinks it’s worth anything, or whether it is worth anything. It’s worth it to me. It’s the way I want to live my life. I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares." (at Kaufman Entertainment Law Group)

New digs, same building for the Santa Monica location. This is now unfortunately (or fortunately, as we can still see it from our conference room) across the hall in someone else's office (at Kaufman Entertainment Law Group, PC)

Watching "Treasure Of The Sierra Madre" again because I'm living it on a deal. Always get your deal done early. In writing. Always. Use your own lawyer. *Especially* deals with friends. Did I say always?
