I've been out of any kind of retail or customer service role for quite some time I don't miss it.   I've had money thrown at me, a-hole managers threatening to fire me for frivolous reasons and had quite a few folks scream at me at the top of their lungs.   May they all rot in hell by the way. 

I hope HHH beats Daniel Bryan at WM30

FRIDAY THE 13TH: THE SERIES

ORIGINAL SERIES INTRO WITH VO	Small | Large

Part of my "books I was supposed to read in college but I read the Cliff Notes instead" series

To envoke Joe Bob Briggs: "We have bad hair, worse suits, tons of falling bodies, tons of bodies falling in slow motion. washed out color values, a cop who tries too hard to be T.J.Hooker, and more spent blank ammo that my calculator could handle. 4 stars, Burgomaster says check it out!"
 

Rule #1 from previous post.
"Experience your creation," or as I'd like to say: "Believable characters with dialogue and actions that ring true." And so far we'd have had . . .

For pedophiles = No
And the villain is a pedophile. Just hugs or not.

A writer need not write about such things, but if he or she does, then face the sexual implications of the scenes between the victim and the villain. There is little I hate more in writing than instead of facing it, just sweeping it aside or dancing around it.

For pedophiles victims = No

For police = No

But, here are 8 more people types with the letter P from "Broadchurch." Where . . .

N=No
Y=Yes
?=Questionable

Paparazzi = N
I wish some had been hired to stage the scenes featuring them. Otherwise, it looked so fake looking. Of course, that may have been more the fault of the director than the writer, which raises questions about the direction.

Parents = ?
I actually had a N, but I changed it to ?, as while there are some real clunky scenes, that does not negate all the scenes featuring the parents.

Plumbers = Y
The next time maybe the writer should do a series about plumbers. It is the one thing he gets consistently right.

Preachers = ?
I actually had a Y, but I again changed it to a ?, because unlike Ellen Hart's "Taken by the Wind," which we have already discussed has a certain similar story to this, the preacher here is seemingly the only preacher in a church with a potential congregation of 15,000, and seemingly has no one which he can call for help. Which is just not a credible situation.

Press = ?

Pre-teen boys = N
There again read Ellen Hart's "Taken by the Wind" for a description that is far truer to real life than the one here.

Psychics = ?

Public (Everyone else) = ?

Next time: Rule 3. Resist the temptation to overlood with too much information and too many stories.

The Grim Reaper stared aghast at his visitor.
"Hello," he said. "I'm with the I.R.S."

Ya want proof?
