Sin City

From the second you step aboard the crowded airbus and take that first breath of stale processed air, you know it will be days before you taste fresh oxygen again. The sensation of recycled life, of hopeful dreams and crushing realities, is in every drop of that fuselage. It’s daily nonstop round-trips carrying passengers from all points of the East looking to catch some saving grace and a few drops of luck in that Sin in the desert.

The more time you spend in Vegas the more the mystique wears off, the underbelly of the beast becomes exposed. The gold plating chips away. The more you realize the demons you’ve come to unearth really never fully go hiding in the dark when you return to your own reality.

But like any good drug, so many come back as repeat offenders. ______________________________ 140 words of your time… ~psd

If you feel safe in the area that you're working in, you're not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water then you feel you're capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don't feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you're just about in the right place to do something exciting.

But we owe ourselves, and the United States that we will pass off to our children, to relearn the tools of reason, logic, clarity, descent, civility, and debate. And those things are the non-partisan basis of democracy and without them you can kiss this thing goodbye.

Ultimate box set: ‘Godfather’ author’s massive archive to hit the auction block

Author Mario Puzo’s 45-box collection covers his entire career and includes manuscripts of his early books and late-career screenplays, and even his old typewriter. It is being sold by Boston-based RR Auction on Feb. 18. There’s no doubt that its thousands of pages of “Godfather” documents are the highlight and shed light on the creative process, including the back-and-forth between Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola as they collaborated on the screenplay.

It seems that Puzo and Coppola together simplified a lot of the dialogue from the book for the screen. The way it came out in the movie makes it a little more like everyday gangster slang.

Tricia Eaton, RR’s director of specialty catalogs

The scripts include some of Puzo’s own scribbles and thoughts on what the American Film Institute called the second most famous movie quote of all time — Marlon Brando, as Don Vito Corleone, saying: “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse." Another fascinating piece of the collection is a letter from Puzo to Brando dated March 1970. Puzo envisioned Brando playing Corleone in the 1972 movie, but it almost never happened. Apparently thinking that Brando was out of the project, Puzo wrote the letter expressing his disappointment.

I’m sorry I wasted your time. I still think it was a good idea. And thanks for taking the trouble to call and talk to me.

Writers end up writing about their obsessions. Things that haunt them; things they can’t forget; stories they carry in their bodies waiting to be released.
