I remember being 7 or 8 when watching R2D2 was like watching Lassie in a Lassie movie, or Benji for that matter. Wonder what it was in Bambi? How about a Godzilla movie? In Star Wars, as long as MacGuffin R2D2 was okay, I knew everything was going to be okay. Being born in 1969, I feel like my Love Child nature needs to know there is an ending that I can stand. The MacGuffin seems to be something I can focus on looking for when everything else is hard to take. Nothing like a "focus" to keep my left frontal lobe at peace. Thank you for being you and insisting we start discussing this stuff in front of each other. Kudos to you, Alex! Love ya! Shannon Seek Alex,

Thanks for sharing. My business is working with people who have chronic emotional and physical pain. My idea of a Macguffin to motivate them (at least at the moment) is the intrigue of wondering what that "tipping point" is that will help them shift into a place of less pain and more pleasure in their lives. Later this week I'll be launching my new interactive website www.reversingchronicpain.com. Come visit! Maggie I think this is a great idea, Alex. Thanks for sharing.

I'm a doctor and a filmmaker/writer, but I have kept the MacGuffin out of my medicine. My films are fun. My life as a doctor is ....So boring. Safe. I now have theatre and medicine. Science and art. I'll start to take the big risks in health care marketing to get the dramatic results in healing and more patients. I already have the goods with TSS. Thanks again. ShelbyLane, MD Alex:

What we have also learned is "What was once new, is now expected" so we have to continually be creating new things so that we do not become ordinary.

I am motivated to use it for my business. I am in the "infancy stage" (I just love the similitude) of my bread business. But what really intrigued me was the noted personalities that you quoted from. Hitchcock, Lucas, Curtis. I never thought about what the plot was after the first scene because of the action that was taking place on the screen. You have picked a very good subject to motivate the people. I for one will try to put it to good use. Thank You Alex.

When I teach my art classes I provide people a safe environment in which to experiment, fail and grow. It is such fun to watch those who are sure they can't possibly paint or be creative be successful. Their shoulders are held higher, their voice sounds more sure and their eyes have a spark that wasn't there upon entering the class. They come for this MacGuffin.
