'Conviction (1)'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
One thing I've been wanting to ask since I've managed to not catch any of the promo(s) - pouts - but have been hesitant to, since the comments about being meh about the promo(s), and the response that the promo(s) represented the show well, was whether the promo(s) represented the style of the show well, the content of the show well, or both.
Because promos can be true to a show in content while being utterly misleading in style and vice versa.
I think any personal attacks would be Stompy-worthy to the extent that any attack on a poster here would be.
Yeah, I'm with Dana on that. Criticism is all well and good, but if anyone went Kitten on them, well, it should be like that scene in Office Space where they beat the piss out of the fax machine.

If the promos did a bad job of representing the style of the show, then it's a black mark against the people that wrote said promos, who are the same writers who are writing the show.
The question is whether we're distinguishing between "this sucks!" and "you suck!" when the creators are in the house.
There's also differentiating "this isn't working for me" or "this could be better" and "this sucks" (or "you suck") as well. Not for Stompy purposes, but for stomping purposes.
I've seen plenty of trailers/promos, especially over the past year on YouTube, that completely misrepresent what a film is like or about. I don't think that reflects on the writer.

The writer of the film, or the writer of the promo?
I wouldn't worry too much about it, I think we'll all be awesome. New people may come in, dive headfirst into the guac, and then we'll gently and firmly 'splain how not to trip on the rug on the way to the bowl.
The writer of the film, or the writer of the promo?
The film.
Frank, the best way I can describe it is that there are threads of Tim's work all through it. I think that Melanie Linski's storyline has this sort of Kaylee-innocence/Wonderfalls adorableness about it.
There's a non-linear Out of Gas element to the series, as well.
And then there are the sort of drama desperate redemption threads running through all of them, with some of the darkness of Angel-smothering-Wesley-with-a-pillow betrayals and an army of Virgil Websters manipulating the teams.
So it seems like this is a culmination of Minearesque elements.
I think that's why Kristen fits so well, other than the raw talent, she has a historical understanding of the years of work that are going into it.
The film.
In this instance, I'm led to understand they're one and the same.
