From Slice of Sci-Fi:
“What is wrong with American viewers that they would rather watch some washed-out hack actors dance the mambo than watch some really great fantasy-fun drama like “Heroes.” — It’s truly a sick world.”
Couldn’t agree more.

I’ve dived back into another round of improving my scenes. I want things to really shine. It’s not enough to convey a piece of information or for characters to do a satisfactory job in playing a part. At the very least I want each scene to leave the reader with curiosity about what happens next. I say the very least because I also want at least some of my scenes to leave the reader with a sense of “Oh my… I can’t believe that just happened.”
It’s the same thing I get from a good TV show or movie. Example?

I saw this courtesy of SF Signal.
“When Hollywood isn’t busy cranking out sequels, it’s scouring Earth for stories and characters that will save them the hassle of coming up with their own.”
Further proof that properties favoring a home medium don’t do very well outside of the native environment. Of course, James Bond, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars don’t seem to have that problem.
You do the math. Forget mediums, it’s all about franchises.
