Audience/Screen Relationship ...is life.

So there's been some talk about the role of the viewer in the filmic experience -- not just the actual watching of the film itself (i.e., just showing up), but the bio-rhythms that each individual brings to the screen, the state of mind accompanying and interplaying with and against those bio-rhythms and the importance of these factors in the filmmaking process in general. Mostly, this sort of discussion has been just hinted at and kicked around, and a couple of oscillating examples can be found over at Tucker Teague's (a.k.a cineboy and at an early blogathan post by Marina. I feel like writing something on all of this, but haven't made any concrete decision yet what exactly that is...

I will have something soon, though. I'm not indecisive, not one bit -- and if I ever made you think otherwise, then I might just be rather cunning after all...;)
