    spider,

    About the spider from my first posting: I recorded this, as I record alot of things.


    INT. HOUSE. NIGHT

    Phone. RING RING RING - Answer

    SEAN
    (into the phone)
    Hi David

    DAVID
    Hi Sean

    SEAN
    I was just talking to myself for a second,
    I just picked up the phone and started
    talking without pressing the button

    DAVID
    (Laughing)

    SEAN
    So what about this spider Dave?

    DAVID
    What's that?

    SEAN
    About the spider? <laughter>

    DAVID
    The 'spidy' man?

    SEAN
    You were going on about the spider
    in your e-mail but didn't tell me what
    actually happened?

    DAVID
    It was hanging on a single web right in front
    of my face, just 20cm in front of my nose

    SEAN
    <Laughter> He he he he <Dr. Evil style>

    DAVID
    I looked up and saw it.

    SEAN
    There you go….That's what spider's do man,
    Isn't it man?

    DAVID
    It was a little bite scary and I got freaked out.
    Ahh, its been mad. That spider I put him
    In a jar and saved him. It's the biggest
    ****in spider that I've seen in all of the
    UK my whole life.

    SEAN
    (disbelief)
    Get out?

    DAVID
    He was 8cm from leg to leg, like a spider
    from Cabarete.

    SEAN
    (sarcastic)
    Oh, go on…What the one in your house?

    DAVID
    Yes Mannn

    SEAN
    Get to fcuk!, That's like 4 inches.

      I'm not sure how this relates to Chaos theory, but this may be a place to say that I've learned never to give something a title I wouldn't want applied to my own life for the duration of the writing process.

      Not that I *follow* what I've learned. I just go into writing a script with a stress-inducing titles a little more wary than others. It may just be supersition or it may be that looking at and thinking of something related to the words "You Suck" (or another such title) will allow the words to seep into your unconscious for a while.

      While only a (silly) theory, the history of attempts to bring Confederacy of Dunces to the screen would make a good example of the idea.
