There's reasons other than the value of a movie ticket that push feature films to more than 80 minutes. You can develop great stories in a very short time. Comic strips are a prime example.

Thanks, when I need to know more about comic strips, I'll know to whom I should turn. Only the more intelligent read comic strips according to studies. |

Comic strips are a form of entertainment, film is one too. It's important to be able to distinguish between them. Good luck. |

Well, I am assuming you have finally become the victim of one of our spoofers;) I don't know if there was any point to this video as I really didn't get past the first 20 seconds or so. Later mon, hope you are eating well;) Ditto on the first, and the last. -- John H "The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people?s money." *--Margaret Thatcher Well guys. I thought it was a neat little story of a guy (Who happens to be Angelina Jolie's brother) who has a nowhere job of being a bathroom attendant in a class joint who doesn't make any money and has no life. His car breaks down and by luck he finds opertunity with inginuity to go into business for himself,a nd makes a load of cash, finds out that it's lonly at the top and then has his business shucked out from underneath him. He finds himself at the bottom again, but also finds that he was appreciated and that good came out of his endevors. And with more luck, finds a soul mate and by more with more good fortune ends up making a good living with the woman he loves. 12 minutes tells a lot. BTW, all is going good.... so far. Speaking of bathrooms... They've finally found a good use for some of the zillions of photos and posters seen everywhere. http://jeremyinc.com/images/obama.jpg Wow John, that's pretty far out there... Even for you;) Well, I haven't bought any...yet. |
