10,000 Violent Women and One Screenwriter, Part III
When I tell my wife, Karen, about the project, Within These Walls, she hits me with a level gaze—eyes like chips of coal:
“Not a good idea, Robert. Remember all the time in Sing-Sing doing research for that other script—it was not a healthy experience.”
Your faithful screenwriter shrugs, utterly clueless:
“This is a woman’s prison, how bad can it be? Besides, I am not going to turn down the chance to work with Ellen Burstyn.”
Karen looks at me and half-smiles, tolerantly but with—I sincerely hope—affection.
Evil exists; and face to face, it is a shock to the soul.
The love of my life can foresee the psychological black cloud that is fated to haunt me after conducting my prison research.
There is a reason I’ve been in love with my wife since we were nine-years old. She’s much smarter and level-headed than yours truly.
To read the complete story, head on over to Big Hollywood.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
I'm checking in for the full story. And, no offense, but women have a better intuitive comprehension of things. If you read through my Shiloh Musings, you'll find that I've been right about what's going on more than the paid male political observers. Sorry to put in an ad for my own writing. Now to hear about your adventures.

Batya:
Of course women have better intuition than men, no argument. And you're blog is the proof. Thanks so much.
