Summary of this Book... | ||
Brian, who has written a few comics, gets a write up in Spin Magazine. He then gets phone calls from movie-maker reps who have never read his comics but want the rights. He aquires the mentorship of a fledgling producer who can advise him. He goes to Hollywood... | ||
I especially liked... | ||
When he and his mates walk into an LA restaurant, wanting to get more than the one-second of attention which is all a nobody gets. | ||
I didn't like... | ||
Repetitious swearing = boring. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
Read some of the comics that feature in this book. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
Interested in what goes into writing a film script. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
Draws great pictures. Eg himself before and after the "one-second" mentioned above. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
Comics are great! We get so much from well-drawn pictures, sometimes things that we can't get from the written word. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
Bendis uses a variety of visual effects, sometimes using the same image at greater and greater magnification in each successive frame, often stringing parts of a conversation across a page or two, sometimes using a photo as background. | ||
