Dreams With Sharp Teeth

Documentary about Harlan Ellison. He has a type Eight personality (from the Enneagram). He is outspoken and outrageous.

He was a pioneer in the science fiction genre, writing famous novels, short stories, and television shows. (He wrote some of the seminal Star Trek and Outer Limits episodes.) As a child he was ruthlessly bullied in a fiercely anti-semitic town in Ohio. He was outspoken even as a child and may have "caused" his being bullied. He can't bear to have people laugh at him to this day. So he has a complex about being "put down" by others.

He makes an interesting point that writer's sell themselves short by not insisting on being paid what they're worth.

In 1965 he marched with King in Selma, Alabama. He considers this one of his proudest moments.

"People these days say stupid things like 'If you're so smart then why aren't you making a million bucks?' 'Everyone's entitled to their own opinion' No! You are not entitled to your own opinion, you are entitled to your INFORMED opinion. Otherwise it's just hot air and farts."

In an interview with Tom Brokaw in 1980, he suggested that college campuses have changed after the buzz of the 60's and after the Nixon era. Now they all just wanted to get into big business and make money.

Art should be like a brick. - Kafka

1967 he edited the anthology "Dangerous Visions" which changed the science fiction genre.

I don't mind getting messages from god, but i do with those who answers them.

It's presumptuous and silly, so that you can blame everything on some unseen deity. You don't have to take responsibiliyt anything. Courage, kindness, friendship, dreams, imagination, taking responsibility for what you do.
