  • Sleeplessness Overdone?

    I had an idea for a short that, at this point, includes a character having extreme trouble sleeping. Overdone?

    Calculate less.

      Well, that's also a good point.

        Not to my mind. Sleeplessness is something everyone dreads. Makes it personal, intimate, universally accessible.

          But unless the insomniac's a roamer, it's difficult to dramatize.

            Since I have insomnia, I don't think it is overdone... but what happens next?

              Maybe I'll write it and you can find out.

              Grazie.

                Every time I'm tempted to think serial killers are overdone someone comes along and proves me very wrong.

                Insomnia is a less-travelled road than serial killers, so if it's good (like everything) it's not a problem.

                  Can't think of a well-done insomnia film beyond The Machinist. Seriously. Can't be overdone because it's hardly ever done well...

                    I agree with you, but Taxi Driver could be considered in the insomnia canon. And good.

                      Into The Night

                      Jeff Goldblum, sleepless AND clueless, co-starring Michelle Pfeiffer(dozens of others) and directed by John Landis, written by Ron Koslow.

                      One of my favorite overlooked gems.

                        Don't forget FIGHT CLUB.

                        By the way (and echoing a point ATB made), it's never overdone if it's done well.

                              FIGHT CLUB too. That was over a decade ago.
