The Truth About Tom: November 2006
http://thetruthabouttom.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
The Truth About Tom. Thursday, November 30, 2006. A Star Is Cast. Whatever happens, at this moment, on the last day of really wonderful, fun and productive first week, this is good. Posted by Tom at 7:13 PM. Next Diva In Line. Light your candles for me, gentle reader. Posted by Tom at 7:05 AM. Wednesday, November 29, 2006. The Burning of Atlanta. Today I name names. Nicely, though. We authorize an offer of one million dollars to Bette Midler.". How long will Bette take to play out? Or Amores Perros, anot...

The Truth About Tom: March 2006
http://thetruthabouttom.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
The Truth About Tom. Thursday, March 30, 2006. Fortunately I can't top the revelation in the last post: I never did anything that horrible again, but I certainly learned what I was capable of, and I certainly lost my ability to feel total moral superiority to anybody, concentration camp guards included. But as I plunge onward in my Al-Anon 4th Step- my fearless moral inventory- that is far from the end of the story. Let's just deal with one thing tonight: snobbery. Oh you'll hear about it. Can't get ...

The Truth About Tom: October 2006
http://thetruthabouttom.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
The Truth About Tom. Monday, October 16, 2006. Foreign Sales Rides Again. I lived in France for a while. Did you catch me talking like LeBeau in Hogan's Heroes? Truth be told: it hurts. I want everybody to love my movie. EVERY SINGLE PERSON EVERYWHERE. And here's a confession that's not easy to make: after my transatlantic call this morning I went to www.imdb.com. Posted by Tom at 9:16 PM. Thursday, October 12, 2006. Regardless of all that: My movie made it through. The notes I got only made it bette...

The Truth About Tom: June 2006
http://thetruthabouttom.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
The Truth About Tom. Thursday, June 29, 2006. What's It All About? I feel that I am streamlining and strengthening the script in many ways. It's getting better. There's just one teensy weensy question I have. My second movie was about vigilantism. It was a better movie than the first one partly because I really had something to say about the topic, which is that vigilantism may get a certain kind of crowd cheering for you but it doesn't do anybody you love any favors. And what's this movie about? I had t...

The Truth About Tom: August 2006
http://thetruthabouttom.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
The Truth About Tom. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. Except I don't like the cutting in the first assembly of the film. I hope I'm handling this okay. Actually the nature of the set up, the hierarchy, the process, is that I don't really have to worry about how I'm handling it. I just have to say what I'd like to see. So why can't I move forward without worrying about his feelings? Am I afraid he'll do less good work if he feels offended? On somebody else's nickel. Posted by Tom at 10:56 PM. After Le Star's d...

Mobius Flip: August 2006
http://mobiusflip.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Middle age, middle America, husband, father, not entirely straight, recovering alcoholic, sexaholic, who-knows-what-else-aholic. Nothing special. Tuesday, August 29, 2006. I think I may have previously posted about this, or something like it. Or maybe someone else did. Either way it is very much on my mind right now. Somewhere in the past couple of decades it flipped. I started changing my dreams to align with, or more honestly, to justify my actions. Dreams replaced by contrivances. A Chance A Gift.

The Truth About Tom: January 2006
http://thetruthabouttom.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
The Truth About Tom. Monday, January 30, 2006. Because Flip asked me to. Here are the rules:. 1 Open the nearest book to where you are sitting. Don't reach for anything cool or hip, make it truly the nearest book. 2 Open to page 123. 3 Find the fifth sentence. (The instructions don't say whether this should be the fifth complete sentence or the fifth including whatever incomplete sentence begins the page. You're on your own here. ). This is what I got from the nearest book at hand:. Back to the Fourth.

The Truth About Tom: September 2006
http://thetruthabouttom.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
The Truth About Tom. Friday, September 29, 2006. When I was in elementary school I used to get nervous to the point of sweating over what grade I was going to get when Teacher was handing back tests and papers. An A and a smiley face meant hours of happiness and pride. Anything B or lower and the absence of a gold star or a smiley face meant gloom and shame. Do you think anything has changed? So why am I on the gloomy side? Again: lack of a big hug, a YOU ARE BRILLIANT. So grow up already, Tom! I'll also...

The Truth About Tom: April 2006
http://thetruthabouttom.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
The Truth About Tom. Thursday, April 27, 2006. Just a thought here:. And isn't asking Bush and Co. to investigate the situation a little like asking Goldfinger to head up the investigation into who messed with the gold in Fort Knox? WHEN, OH LORD, WHEN WILL WE BE RELEASED FROM SUCH PATHETICALLY TRANSPARENT EVIL? HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK WE ARE? Okay I feel better now. I also want to say that I'm going on hiatus here with the blog for a while. After thinking about a recent comment exchange with [sic].

The Truth About Tom: July 2006
http://thetruthabouttom.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
The Truth About Tom. Monday, July 31, 2006. And so the first day passes. Posted by Tom at 10:52 PM. Sunday, July 30, 2006. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Oh but I'm prattling on. Let's get to the heart of the matter. Tomorrow I get to move a camera around wonderful actors saying lines that I wrote and I have a wonderful cameraman to help me to do it. So all I really should say before I go to bed and hope to get some sleep is:. Thank You and Amen. Posted by Tom at 9:21 PM. Thursday, July 27, 2006.
