poll - do you like tv shows or movies more?

KamageDisagree, a movie has to stick to a script, TV shows can take unexpected turnarounds within that period of time. Something that casn be thought of over time, rather than a single thing that si written up in a week. Tv shows can take years to write up, a movie...a month?

Movie being written in a month? Maybe shit like Meet the Spartans, but most movies take at least a year to write. As for the preference: neither. I try to avoid mass media, excluding [as].

i believe it takes that long as it needs to accomodate what's on paper to the screen. a movie has to make things appealing for the viewer to watch in the next 2-3 hours of the beginning of the movie. if they can't do that then the movie won't be successful.

He said TV shows, but that's probably a few episodes in that series anyway. It's not that hard for TV shows, however movies need huge books for the scripts.

I don't really watch TV, but some good movies do come out every once in a while.

...which is all part of the writing process. It dosn't end when you finish the script, you have to do ALOT of drafts before it's completed.
