Too Many Choices

Goddamn, if V Postrel isn't my favorite blogger. Here is a great link/article on the problem with too many choices - causing unhappiness for folks living in liberal democracies. With respect to filmmaking, we solve this with giving ourselves a restriction, or a rule that forces ourselves into making a movie a certain way. Hitchcock was famous for using this. I love the idea, and it's fun coming up with a clever restriction.

Now if only I could find some sensible restrictions for life. Religion, maybe? HA!
