Would you buy (read) books-novels.....

[~~whimsy~~]

Main character: It seems there is a murder. (Main character shows shocked look at the dead corpse; investigates corpse)

Lead Detective: Yes. They were strangled by their own intestines and hung from this very rafter until the intestine gave out and the body fell through the first floor into this here basement. (lights up cigarette, looking down at corpse)

Main Detective: Now that I am back at the office I can continue this case and find out what happened to this poor bastard (Character is thinking this; looks at receptionist's butt)

~~~

Yeah. No details. I can see this working out very well for the future of writing as a whole! Especially for the newspapers and news articles. I often find if I want this experience I will drink heavily and read a book. I forget half of it but the good parts I remember. I guess that is how it would work if I drank and read. Screw the rest!!!

:yesyes:

Hey, if there's more along the lines of this magnificent accomplishment of a sentence, I'll read anything you decide to shit out into the collective community.

hahaha.. yeah, bad writing, my fault... the additional problem is to hire a translator to english..

The entire purpose of a script is to be the foundation for a film. Therefore, they are really nothing more than an outline of the story, not the complete story.

Having the word {angry} before a line doesn't tell you anything about the nature of the characters anger, it leaves open the interpretation an actor or director will bring to the scene. Novels, on the other hand, give you the emotion and the detail. You know in what fashion the characters anger shows itself.

Also, one line in a script stating {chase scene} tells you nothing, even though in the film it may be a 10 minute scene. Where's the joy in reading that?

If it doesn't have Inspector Closeau falling over something me not reading it!

I'd write it all down just to get your ideas down....Then re-write it....Then re-write it......Its what I am going to do.

PS> That's after you've made a extensive outline....Re-writes is basically "How can I maybe shorten this.....Does it flow?....Does it sound right?"

PSS> Fuck screenplays better to write some kick ass books......Its probably easier to get one of them turned into a movie after some director reads it and I dunno has a hard on.

I prefer Novel format.

I read everyday, usually at night to relax before bed or on a long trip.
