@winter-rose Your insight on the “unheroic success” character arc is really good. I never thought of it that way. 🙂 Personally, however, I’d see the unheroic success as hard to pull off successfully, but super awesome if done well. Quite a few of my favorite films have unheroic success, so I know it can be done well. A reason why the unheroic…[Read more]

@timothy-young Well, Balaam was actually a pretty nasty dude even from the beginning. His character arc does follow the tragic character more closely, though. And yeah. Joab is definitely a true antihero.

Never mind. I’ll reply to reviews. At least just a one-liner.
@christi-eaton So glad that somebody absolutely adores the best movie of 2016, La La Land!!!
@daeus Watched that when I was young, and I got bored. Maybe, now that I’m older, I’ll appreciate it.
@f5a8c3e92 Basically, Rogue One is a much watch, huh? -

I won’t be responding to most reviews unless something really–and I mean really intrigues me. But just a word on the reviews.
Reviews need to have three elements.
1) basic premise of the movie– so we know what’s it about (but don’t spoil it too much)
2) positives and negatives of the movie (why you liked or didn’t like it; and generally all…[Read more] -

I just want to give a shout-out to a great book that I am reading. It’s called Planning Your Life God’s Way: Practical Help from the Bible for Making Decisions, and it has already proved to be a great help to me. It takes a biblically-based approach and is extremely practical. Also, I have met the author and he’s a very godly man who has lived out…[Read more]

It is for beginners but at the same time, I would totally recommend it to any writer looking to improve. It is a very solid curriculum.

Well, it’s been about a week. And I don’t think anyone else will read the article so . . .
@daeus Thanks, man. How antiheroes were treated in the past is probably a little more speculative than most of my findings (I’m not that old, right). I just found that the popular figures in Greco-Roman mythology were classical heroes (Hercules, Achilles,…[Read more]
