I said the screen will kill the reader, and it has: the movie screen in the beginning, the television screen, and now the coup de grace, the computer screen.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Whether one likes it or not, the screen is a profoundly important source of imagery and storytelling for this generation. For me, books remain a stunning place to tell stories, but the screen has a place.
Films work due to scripts, characters, and what you see on screen.
And it is a folly to try to craft a novel for the screen, to write a novel with a screen contract in mind.
Once you become the story off-screen, you are less likely to be the onscreen one.
Screen work always boils down to that moment between the camera and the actor or the actors. It always boils down to that, ultimately. You serve the camera.
TV is obviously so different from film: because it's a never-ending process, it keeps going; you keep receiving new pages.
There'll always be movies that are meant for the big screen, and they should be seen that way.
The screen is a magic medium. It has such power that it can retain interest as it conveys emotions and moods that no other art form can hope to tackle.
You know, if a TV show dropped into my lap out of the blue, I would have a hard time turning it down because there just isn't the money in theater that there is on TV.
All movies assault the viewer in one way or another.
