Comment on Feedback vs. Criticism by Casey

Casey — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 21:53:56 +0000

Throughout my time as a writer, I have found that more often than not, people give criticism because they feel that they must say something. Good, bad, indifferent, they have to have an opinion or the look less intelligent than the others. It may be absolutely meaningless to the writer and very often to the person saying it also. People just want to be heard. The good thing about criticism is that the writer is so stuck in their own viewpoint that when someone offers a differing view it can be mind blowing. Every person on the planet has a different set of experiences and a different way of reacting to said experiences. Even when the criticism is awful, it’s very telling of the person who said it. Why do they think that? Is it really bad or does it hit the nerve of a painful past experience? Is my dialogue actually trite or is the person just trying to exert some force.

I revel in comments and criticism, regardless of the fact that I rarely make changes based on them.

My advise about taking bad advise is, More often than not the giver just wants to be heard.

Good criticisms on the other hand offer little chance for improvement, thus rendering them little more than a ego stroking.

Comment on What makes a good villain? by casey

The single most interesting and compelling attribute to a villain is. Most of the time they think they are a good guy. They act in ways that they think are right, their perception of reality is usually skewed.

We must not assume that Sheldon was not aroused while helping Penny with her dislocated joint. After all, He lingered while helping her with her shirt only to find out that he was holding her breast. Moreover, a case can be made for Sheldon being the more appropriate partner for Penny. Though not physically strong, Sheldon has a strong personna, displayed in his teaching physics to Penny. He is more of an authority figure than his friend Leonard. Sheldon also possesses a dominant attitude toward Penny in her lifestyle, pointing out that she is not neat nor smart and saying it with unabashed arrogance. A quality that Penny is more comfortable with than the lilting caspar milktoast personality of leonard. They’re other telltale signs that Sheldon is the real right guy for Penny. Sheldon knows football, he doesn’t like it but he knows it. He bowls and Penny bowls. This is a true bonding sport for any couple. Sheldon can comfort Penny and she can comfor him. Penny is more like Sheldon’s mom than she is like Leionard’s mom. So if the old adage that a boy marries someone like his mother holds true, than Penny is a better wife for Sheldon than she is for Leonard. I’ll think of more facts that support this theory. This is a good start.

Comment on Lost season 6 premiere by Professor Beej

I was so disappointed when we found out what the temple was. I had such high hopes for it being a Dark Tower allegory with a much more mystical origin and use than it had. I was hoping for an anachronistic architecture unlike anything else on the Island. Maybe a modern office building or skyscraper in a valley.

But no. We get a temple. Nothing else. Maybe it was be for placing an unnecessary focus on the temple over the past few seasons, but it was shrouded in so much mystery that I couldn’t help but feel disappointed when there was nothing really special about it at all.
