Nit Pick [In reply to] Can't Post

This is a nice article when it reminds us of how much work might be involved in adding a film in the middle of production after principal filming wraps and there's this great pipeline of material that might have to be restarted. That's something that didn't get much, if any, discussion here on the forums. It would be great to hear some first-hand stories about that. And I appreciate reminding so many of us that second guessing the professionals might be futile. I agree. But it really is overlay dramatic and fawning. More speculation about the break is a waste of time and I didn't read any of that. No soda for me. Why do we "need" to know? "Need" is very much the wrong word. We don't. The film will make it self-evident.

Here's my nit:

"...there was a universal reaction among many..."

Keep reading that until you understand why it violates journalistic standards and common sense. Wink

                    Not so much suggesting recipes as reacting after ordering a meal and getting it in three segments several hours apart and caked in fat Captain Salt Send a private message to Captain Salt Aug 3 2012, 7:16pm

                            Of course, Peter is the creator...but IMO, in an instance such as this, it's not unreasonable for the audience to not co-create, but react to PJ's decision... Captain Salt Send a private message to Captain Salt Aug 4 2012, 2:55am

                                    I suppose in this case it's more about presentation than inception... Captain Salt Send a private message to Captain Salt Aug 4 2012, 4:07pm
