writer's block
1250 words comparing Stanely Kubrick's Lolita to Adrian Lyne's--how each one works and which is better and why.
In two hours, I have managed to eke out 287.

I think your paper should be two sentences:
Stanley Kubrick kicks the shit out of Adrian Lyne. If you dispute this fact, you are a fucking moron. |

But seriously.
Talk about everything. If you have to, go back to that 5th-grade, one-topic-per-paragraph style. Talk about the camera work. Acting. Scripts and how they relate to the book. Mood and tone. Memorable scenes. All of these things comprise the relative goodness or crappiness or a movie. |

I have to do 1250 words on Studs Terkel's "The Good War". I'm about half way through. Oh, did I mention I'm getting paid $500 for this and not encountering writer's block?

Write about the differences in social context for both versions; in the case for the Kubrick's adaptation, for example, he was forced to susbstitute sexuality with satire comedey only because public opinion wasn't ready for the perversion of Nabokov's original text. In fact he even went so far as to relegate the novel's eroticism to just the opening title sequence.
you can also show the structural differences in between the two versions (for example, Kubrick's version starts off with Quilty's murder) and show how that characterizes each filmmaker with regard to autuer theory. whatever. ------------------ http://downwardsign.homestead.com/files/Betty.jpg Don't leave us in the dark.
