We dont know who he is, so we can't really imagine him. <BR/><BR/>By way of hopefully constructive criticism, I think a little misdirection might be funny. I think with good perfs the scene works on screen but it feels a little bit too by the numbers, and a punch up that surprises the audience a bit might help in that direction. <BR/><BR/>'Course, whaddo i know?Grumpy O.

Just kiddin...Yes, Eddie, you are a dick AND a cock. Just kidding!<BR/><BR/>I can take criticism, but when it's constructive, especially in this type of forum.<BR/><BR/>Plus, HIS comment came across like the dick here, I was just reacting to him. Robert Hogan (Adv in Screenwtiring blog) deals with this crap all the time, anonymous hacks who drop asswipe remarks to piss off people. And it works 'cause its annoying.<BR/><BR/>I don't expect anyone to love/like everything I do, but I would NEVER go on someone's blog/site and throw a dick comment. I've gone on plenty of blogs where writers have shown some work, and am ALWAYS ALWAYS supportive.<BR/><BR/>But that's how I roll. That's because I'm not a dick.<BR/><BR/>If he wanted to critique that's fine, say something like you actually did. And you're right, it was just a snippet, just to show you where it's coming from, the type of humor, etc, certainly not the best scene in it, but a fun flashback.Patrick J.

Granted, you may not have asked for it, and s/he could have left their name... but your reaction might be why they chose not to. You kinda come off like a dick in your response, and after reading your blog for a long time, I know you're not. I hope you handle real world criticism better than that. <BR/><BR/>Also, assuming they're not just f'in with you, people who tell you what's wrong with your stuff are far better than ass-kissers who tell you whatever you write is brilliant.<BR/><BR/>Now, to really step in it...<BR/><BR/>I didn't think what you posted was great, didn't think it was bad, really felt it was just a snippet of the larger picture and too little to really make an opinion one way or the other. <BR/><BR/>And since you were just trying to give us a taste of what you were writing, that's what I took from it. And I realize you didn't ask for reviews, and maybe anon was trying to be an ass, but if he was then you gave him exactly what he wanted.<BR/><BR/>Hope you don't think I'm a huge dick, now, and good luck with your writing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18449304.post-13928420221497394092007-08-13T13:50:00.000-07:002007-08-13T13:50:00.000-07:00No offense taken....since you're wrong.Where's you...No offense taken....since you're wrong.<BR/><BR/>Where's your writing sample, genius?Patrick J.
