  • 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: 'Life Lessons'
    Notes 1 Evolving Authorship, Developing Contexts: ‘Life Lessons’ 1. This trajectory finds its seminal outlining in Caughie (1981a), being variously replicated in, for example, Lapsley and Westlake (1988: 105–28), Stoddart (1995), Crofts (1998), Gerstner (2003), Staiger (2003) and Wexman (2003). 2. Compare the oft-quoted words of Sarris: ‘The art of the cinema … is not so much what as how …. Auteur criticism is a reaction against sociological criticism that enthroned the what against the how …. The whole point of a meaningful style is that it unifies the what and the how into a personal state- ment’ (1968: 36). 3. For a fuller discussion of the conception of film authorship here described, see Grist (2000: 1–9). 4. While for this book New Hollywood Cinema properly refers only to this phase of filmmaking, the term has been used by some to designate ‘either something diametrically opposed to’ such filmmaking, ‘or some- thing inclusive of but much larger than it’ (Smith, M. 1998: 11). For the most influential alternative position regarding what he calls ‘the New Hollywood’, see Schatz (1993). For further discussion of the debates sur- rounding New Hollywood Cinema, see Kramer (1998), King (2002), Neale (2006) and King (2007). 5. ‘Star image’ is a concept coined by Richard Dyer in relation to film stars, but it can be extended to other filmmaking personnel. To wit: ‘A star image is made out of media texts that can be grouped together as promotion, publicity, films and commentaries/criticism’ (1979: 68). 6. See, for example, Grant (2000), or the conception of ‘post-auteurism’ out- lined and critically demonstrated in Verhoeven (2009).

    TRUE STORIES OF A MEDIOCRE WRITER (Working Title) Draft September 2, 2020 BY ALAN O’HASHI © ​Alan O’Hashi Boulder Community Media 1650 Yellow Pine Avenue Boulder, CO 80304 303-910-5782 : ​bvet22@yahoo.com Dedication This story is dedicated to any creative person who has ever held feelings of self-doubt about their artistic abilities; are obsessed by perfection; and have started projects and are unable to finish them. Many thanks to the writers forced into online writing groups who held me accountable while writing this book hiding out during COVID-19 self-isolation. The Accidental Author “You ask a bartender or waiter around here, ‘What do you do?’They say, ‘I’m an actor,’ ‘I’m a singer,’ ‘I’m a student,’ ‘I’m a writer.’After a couple of years, you have to be honest with yourself.’I’m a bartender,’ ‘waiter…’’…waitress.’ Life is what happens to you while you're waitin' for your ship to come in.” - Uma Thurman as Glory the waitress who used to call herself Mad Dog and Glory an actress in ​ ​ (1993) My name is Alan and I’m a mediocre writer. I didn’t wake up one morning when I was a kid and say to myself, “Someday, I want to be an author and write the Great American novel.” I think in the school aptitude survey I said I wanted to be a policeman. We all have our origin stories. Why I ended up writing this book revolves around my true story that began in 2006 after being laid off two real jobs in three years.
