(Beware: « 24 » spoiler ahead. But it’s not like the plot makes that much sense anyway…)

« I love you. I didn’t realize how much until I thought I lost you! » Michelle tells Tony, post-body-slam. Doesn’t it seem like most of the dialogue of « 24 » could easily be generated by a computer program? Besides, I thought that, like most women, Michelle didn’t realize how much she loved Tony until he put down the can of beer and got off the couch. […]

Yes, it’s all a little bit foolish, and it’s basically impossible to make all that suspense pay off in the end. But then, the joy of « 24 » is in the suspense, and expecting it to lead to a deeply satisfying conclusion is like expecting « The Love Boat » to burst into flames and sink.

If « The Love Boat’ ever does burst into flames, though, you can be sure that it will at least produce a great, big, thundering bang when it does. »

Salon’s hilarious review of 24’s season finale by Heather Havrilesky.

Around 10h30pm, Blork asked me to come downstairs to watch 24, which we had recorded on the PVR (Videotron’s version of Tivo). We started watching the show and soon realized that:
1. It was a two hour special
2. It was the season finale
3. Our digital recorder ran out of space during the recording

So after following that damn show for 24 weeks, we’re missing the last 18 minutes of the season. And from what I was able to find on the subject on various blogs, it was the last 18 minutes that counted.

It’s all Jon Stewart’s fault! We have the machine programmed to record all Daily Shows but we’re way behind so there are quite a few hours on the machine taken by Stewart. I bet you he would get a good laugh out of that.

At least I got to see Tony without his shirt on. I was hoping he would crack up a smile during the season, even just a tiny one, but that didn’t happen. Unless he did smile during the last 18 minutes of the show…

Y’a les vieux d�bats Mac vs PC, boxer vs slip, ville vs banlieue, Sopranos vs 6 Feet Under, etc.

Pour les sc�naristes, c’est Final Draft vs Movie Magic Screenwriter.

J’ai choisi Movie Magic Screenwriter pour son interface (Final Draft avait un look et des menus tr�s 1994), pour son soutien technique et parce qu’il est tr�s compatible avec les logiciels utilis�s par les assistants � la r�alisation et les producteurs. Presque tous les sc�naristes que j’ai crois�s au Qu�bec utilisent Final Draft mais de plus en plus de gens se convertissent � MMS.
