      From: dtravel@sonic.net              "The Transformers films — or at least the three sequels to Michael Bay‘s       first film in the series — disregard story concepts left and right.       Characters are secondary to spectacle; geography and time are       subservient to the impact of a beauty shot; standard narrative building       blocks regularly fall by the wayside. So how does one write one of these       films? We talked to Ehren Kruger, who has written all three Transformers       sequels, about the process of putting a film like this on the page.              If you need a capsule version of our short conversation, it is this       quote: “When you’re talking about aliens, robotic machines which       disguise themselves as vehicles and animals, you start to make your       peace with the idea that logical sense doesn’t have to be the be-all,       end-all.” Which means that the creators of the Transformers films are       throwing logic and narrative structure out the window consciously, if       not deliberately. For a bit more exploration of that concept, read our       short interview below."              http://www.slashfilm.com/transformers-logical-sense/              --       "There is some deep burning stupid" - Anim8rFSK, Jun 01 2014              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
