Harlan Ellison: Most writers I know run that idiotic number about "Oh, I like to have written but I don't like to write. It's hard work."... Of course it's hard work. If it weren't hard work, everybody would be doing it. And the better you do it, the harder the work is... Art is supposed to be hard.

There was a time in my life when I read so much science fiction. I approached it from a childish perspective. But I got to ingest some of the most creative writing I've had the joy to encounter. I knew from age 18, Harlan Ellison was the bad boy, the one knocking on the door of the inappropriate. He was often hard to read, but it was a kick in the pants to get through his works (sometimes after a second reading). This wonderful documentary gives us the man from every angle, and as acerbic as he is, I couldn't take my eyes off him. He sees the real world and confronts it. He points out that life is one battle after another. Rage against it. Don't listen to doubters and whiners. I don't read much science fiction any more because my meager knowledge of science makes it beyond my abilities. So be it. But Ellison gave me a gift a long time ago and it was nice to be reminded of that gift one more time.
