TV Set Reviews And Comments - MAY HOLD SPOILERS

Hi Annee, This is one of those reviews where I think to myself......"wish I could have said it like THAT." Thanks for posting it.

That was a great review. The writer is correct that the strike issue is very complex and Writers are usually the low figure on the totem pole when it comes to clout and money. Media is moving more to on-line and their contract does not give them residuals on those profits. Really not fair.

Thanks Annee. Like the author I don't understand why The TV Set didn't get a wider release and more press. It was funny and well done.

The TV Set was mentioned in Pajiba's 2007 Roundtable:http://www.pajiba.com/2007-roundtable-part-two.htm

Hi Annee, I liked this review and agree that the film didn't receive its just dues. Don't know,however, if I fully go along with the thought that the scenes of Ioan with his screen family don't work. It gave me a bit more to consider about how the pressures of the job were working on Richard to succeed/not succeed in his position.The scenes also gave him more "humanity" as a hot-shot executive ----- AND, also make me regard him more as a "sell-out" to the powers of the network at the end.

Thanks Jess - glad to see the nice mention for The TV Set Ship - I agree with you about those scenes and why they worked and of course, I enjoy enjoy the side effect of more screen time for Ioan.

Sorry Annee, I tried to read it, but really couldn't get the writer's point. For me, she tried too hard to be "cool" that I lost the message. I'm probably being too picky.

I liked the style, even though it's a bit too "cool" at times. :( I'm with GG on this. I really couldn't get the point the writer is trying to make. Yes, it is as if her message got lost in he effort to be cool.

Yep! What is she saying, exactly? Seems to me she likes the sound of her own dictionary too much :roll: Still want to see this film, though.

Seems to me she likes the sound of her own dictionary too much :roll: BTW, did anyone else notice that there are a few spelling mistakes in the article? Actually, in her effort to sound cool, its author reminded me of those people trying too hard to be funny with the result that they don't sound cool or funny at all, but rather just confusing and contrived. However, I still want to see The TV Set, too.

I did notice a few of those mistakes, Frances. Because of the website title, I wasn't sure if the writer was a native English speaker or not. If not, there might be some incidental and accidental syntax and spelling errors if she doesn't have anyone proof read her column. But as Stevie mentioned, the way she made up her own dictionary of words made it even harder to follow. There are some benefits to clarity, before cool style, aren't there?

There are some benefits to clarity, before cool style, aren't there? Definitely, especially if it not literature that you are writing.
