... bit of lost dreams of youth CAN be done well, and cleverly, if it's done with at least a little bit of imagination. But imagination is something that director Peter Cattaneo and screenwriters Maya Forbes and Wallace Wolodarsky sorely lack. Instead, they give us completely lame scenes of the glitter-covered Fish trashing hotel rooms and tossing televisions out of windows, while his jaded teen ...
... for a psychopath is impossible? Alpha did it! (See also: River Tam, Firefly .) Alpha can do anything, and it's so merciful that he's elected to use his talents to do whatever the screenwriters need to have happen offscreen. Additional side note: how the same guy who wrote "Once More With Feeling" and co-wrote Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog wind up with three TV shows that have horrible, ...
... four feet and acts like a normal untalkative cat, which is unusual in animation. However, my very favorite is MITTENS, from Bolt . "now I'm concerned on a number of levels" Through Mittens, the screenwriters of Bolt are able to acknowledge the stereotype of the evil cat and then break it. Cats are the villains in Bolt's TV show, but in real life Mittens' grows from being cold and ...
... to his chest. I really didn’t want to bring everything down at that point, but seriously, I think that would’ve frickin’ hurt and brought at least a pause to the sexytimes. But you know how screenwriters get told they get one implausible plot point per movie, and everything else has to be on the level? I give myself one dubious sex-related thing per PWP. Or try to, at least. “Oops,” he ...
Remember that image of Brian Blessed leering with a donkey? This has just pushed it off the top of my list of Most Frightening Images In The History Of The Universe. *curls up in a corner and weeps*
... for minorities in 2003 versus $90,476 for white male. Minority earnings in film slid to $61,912 in 2007 while white male earnings increased to $98,875." In 2007, white male film screenwriters earned, on average, $36,000 more than minority writers. . Wow. So white males not only dominate Hollywood but also get paid more than their minority (And probably female) counterparts. Interesting. Which ...
Don't think I will write a coherent review, because I can't. I kept sobbing my eyes out during the whole episode, and now they burn like hell. Kudos to the screenwriters, who after four and half seasons still manage to shock me. Didn't see almost anything coming! So, back to crying, have some tea, then time to re-watch it a couple of times in case I missed something. January 21st? I'm so going ...
... 2: Jarmila, our Slavic Carlotta-stand-in, gets an equally Slavic last name here: Vadec. Unfortunately, it still doesn't shed any light on her nationality or what the writers--either Lewis or the screenwriters--were trying to say about it. When the maid finds Hohner and immediately sets up the hue and cry that he's dead, she's more justified in thinking this than in the film, since instead of ...
... cohorts in the Barrow gang said, "She was one hell of a loader." The notorious 1930s bank robbers were transformed into mythical outlaw lovers by director Arthur Penn, actor-producer Warren Beatty and screenwriters David Newman and Robert Benton in the 1967 film "Bonnie and Clyde." That myth has yet to be dispelled, despite the revisionism of time and two recent books about the couple's 1932-34 ...
