Webmaster SPECTRUM DESIGNS, INC.

What took you so long to get here?

Where have you been all my life?

I’ll tell you where I’ve been.

I’ve been in show business!

Ever since I was a little kid and heard Pinocchio singing, “Hey, diddly-dee, an actor’s life for me,” that’s what I wanted. Well, not to be an actor.

I got tired of that during my freshman year in college.

So, what to do, what to do. . .

After many years as a Hollywood press agent, I became a writer…movies, stage plays, books.

Anything that was a challenge. I love telling stories.

After all, with due respect to actors, directors and other artists, isn’t the only truly creative aspect of the performing arts the written word?

Everything else is “interpretation”.

On this site you will find links to my many stage plays that are available for licensing, listings of my books that are available for purchasing, some of my screenplays that are available for optioning, plus my blog that will keep you apprised of my various on-going activities and we can get to know each other, maybe too well.

If you’re into DVDs, take a look at my monthly newsletter, BEST BETS ON DVD.

Also, if you have a story that you want told, either in screenplay or book form, I am still a writer-for-hire. Have Mac-Will Write.

So, please sign the guest book and share your thoughts and comments on my blog. But, let’s play nice!

Don’t be such a stranger. Keep coming back!

Michael

Hello, Redbox!

by Michael B. Druxman on 02/07/15

February 9, 2015

On Friday, I rented a movie from Redbox for the first time. It was an extremely easy process. I had been renting discs from Netflix, but since the first of the year they'd been having issues with the Post Office, which meant that, over the period of a month, I would get 1/3 to 1/2 less rentals than before. Not good!

The truth is that there are very few movies these days that I care to rent, so I will probably continue with Redbox; pack and choose the titles I want to see, rather than having to sign up for a month at a time with Netflix. Also, Redbox seems to get the newer movies a few weeks earlier than Netflix.

Also, although it was not an easy process. I have now put the ten basic plays in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection up for sale on NOOK. So, if you like to read your books on a electronic device and have chosen NOOK over Kindle, now you can read my plays there, too.

The ten plays are: (Clark) GABLE, (Spencer) TRACY, (Al) JOLSON, (Carole) LOMBARD, (Errol) FLYNN, CLARA BOW, ORSON WELLES, (Maurice) CHEVALIER, NELSON (Eddy) AND JEANETTE (MacDonald) and (Basil) RATHBONE.

Incidentally, for you NOOK folk, BearManor Media has 3 other of my books in that format: MURDER IN BABYLON, DRACULA MEETS JACK THE RIPPER & Other Revisionist Histories and LIFE. LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD. Enjoy!

You have a creative week.

Michael
