What’s that? 2012 is over, you say? Move on, you demand?
Okay, okay, we will. But first these important, um, words:
Author: TVWriter.Com
And Now a Few Words About Amazon Studios Comedy Line-Up
The story so far:
Amazon.Com has decided to get into the online streaming TV series cuz, you know, they’ve been having a good year and want to find a new way to lose money. Professional TV production just bleeds $$$, but it appears that this most popular of shopping sites just can’t keep itself from creating more loss leaders. (Like all those Kindle variations, dig?)
Peer Production: STANLEY PICKLE
This short (well, 11 minutes is still short, just not short enough for our personal attention span) by Vicky Mather is being touted as the world’s first live-action stop-motion film.
By definition, then, it’s daring and innovative, and our viewing experience has been a lotta fun. We hope you’ll all watch for two reasons:
ALL IN THE FAMILY on Gun Control
You know us. Political animals. Oh Yeah, right. (But life and death, especially how one of those states of being turns into the other, that’s something we can’t ignore.)
Anybody out there remember Archie Bunker?
Creativity and the Educational System: Contradiction in Terms?
Do schools help creativity or hinder it? If they don’t, what can we do to fix that? If they do, what can we do to make them help even more?
We’ll ‘fess up to the fact that TVWriter™ has absolutely no clue about how to answer those questions from anything other than personal/anecdotal evidence. For our staff, that evidence is overwhelming: All of the regular TVWriter™ minions feel that their kindergarten thru high school educations worked against their ability to create, especially as writers. But, hey, your experience, like your gas mileage, may vary.
