(the comments, it seems, need to be moderated, that's why they wouldn't publish).<br />Now gaping holes ... you know how you expect a story to flow and characters' growths to build seamlessly? I watched Alice in Wonderland a few days ago and that's exactly what didn't happen. The growths' steps were so visible and awkward it showed how little love was put into the writing! <br />I'm not all that grumpy though really, but one thing is for certain: by being aware of what I don't like and what really irritates me, I learn an awful lot about what I shan't do ... :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694783463215866442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216161545024784247.post-50871759210610292802010-04-03T21:48:50.532+01:002010-04-03T21:48:50.532+01:00Logic is key with all my viewings.

I was on a comedy kick, hoping to find a current formula that works, since I am writing a middled-aged/relationship comedy, and was terribly displeased by not only the characters but the plot. Hell, the whole story sucked. Yet if it were pitched to me, I probably would have green lit the project, minus a few unnecessary characters and plot points. So, anyway, I'm watching this drivel, laughing at the occasional bit, asking myself, "Do I even believe this shit?" Yes, I'm sure these kinds of people... these kind of relationships exist, but I could not accept a lot of what was happening. Maybe it was the actors or there characters, but ultimately, the story, therefore, the writing sucked. I did not buy into the logic... the ethos.<br /><br />Then there are the films with gaping holes. But it's that pseudo-humanistic bullshit that is suppose to be believable that really gags my reflex.<br /><br />Nice blog.
