Left-handed filmmakers?




wowee


Were george lucas, steven spielberg, francis ford coppola, or any of the great film directors left-handed? and were any of these 3 left-handed?


Answer
Regarding STEVEN SPIELBERG: I can find no definitive answer; HOWEVER, in reviewing dozens of photographs, although he gestures with both hands, when on a set he handles the large cameras with his right hand; he uses his right eye to look into camera view finder; and he holds awards in his right hand. SWAG*: Right Handed

Regarding GEORGE LUCAS: I can find no definitive answer; HOWEVER, in reviewing many photographs, he holds awards in his right hand; he gestures primarily with his right hand; AND he signs autographs with his right hand. SWAG*: Right Handed

Regarding FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA: Again, I can find no definitive answer; HOWEVER, after reviewing scores of photographs, he gestures almost every time with his right hand; AND he uses his right hand to take snap-shots with small camera. SWAG*: Right Handed

What Would You Do...?

Q. Ok, you're in high school, and you see there's this new kid. He's tends to wear dark colors, doesn't smile much, and is skinny. He's not ugly, but he's not hot. When ever you see him, he's alone, when you pass by him in the hall, he mumbles things like, "life's not worth it..." and. "It hurts so bad..." or "love is useless..." or "death is relief..." and "forever alone". He has no friends, and doesn't talk to anyone, but you can see on his face that he's lonely. He's always alone at lunch. Then you hear that this boy asked a girl out and that girl laughed in his face, lied to him, and then rejected him. The next day you see him at the lunch table and he's clutching his wrist with one hand, and with the other he's making an X over his heart. You see a bandage on his wrist. What do you do?













This Boy Is Me.


Answer
Once upon a time that guy was me. But I had other interests besides the social disaster in school. I would come home, get on my bicycle and ride 15 / 20 miles. I went to the local park and recreation for thurs. night volley ball games and week-end chess games with the old men. Got into playing the guitar. Before I knew it. The cycling got me in great shape and girls want to see. The old men taught me character and people like my stories. Playing guitar made the girls swoon. I learned to love myself and before I knew it, everyone wanted to love me too. No pity and grew as a young man.


Today, I see that kid. I tell him to buck up or cut deeper. The world has too many whiners.
