William, A.I. left me kind of cold, but I'm not averse to crying during a Spielberg movie. Rob, thanks for coming by and for sticking with me. One reason I tend not to talk about my religious or political beliefs is that I want this blog to be a welcoming place for everyone sharing the screenwriting struggle.

I now believe that I create everything in my experience. This prevents me (most of the time) from feeling like a victim. If I caused it, I can change it. If I fight against what I don't want, what I don't want gets stronger ... like lifting weights. Instead I work for what I do want and that gets stronger. Sometimes I forget all this, feel like an victim and fight against what I think is wrong. But each Sunday I go to a church and that helps remind me. I was raised without any religion and had quite a dim view of it ... I think from popular culture. Now I think that people who want to do bad things use religion, among other things, to justify their deeds.  And I've met people in Christian religions that think much like I do. (I'm not a Christian.) In the end I don't think it matters whether or not I believe in God. What matters is what I do in the world and how I feel about what I do in the world. <strong>That's why I want to make movies.</strong> Many films touch me and I want to touch others as I've been touched. (I tear-up at movies. Tearing-up is my truth meter. I've teared-up as I write this.) I want to pass it on. I want to pay it forward. I want leave something of value behind. I think video is the literature of our time. Peace, Love, Laughter, Rob:-] I believe in atheists and I believe there is an intelligence in the universe that we use to create.

That was pretty heavy on the spirituality of man packaged in a sci-fi wrapper. Definitely got to me. Did you cry at the end of A.I.?
