    Ha! I love the “o` lead poisoning” comment, I’ve used it to run kids off there were trying to set our hay bales on fire 😉

      Never mind that my shotgun had rock salt loads 😀

    Finally the two female leads are face-to-face! Now if Rosa can swoop in to save Suzie….

      Oh I have a hunch she was expecting this, and why they robbed the “coffins” for the floating cams first. Everyone is going to be freaked out when the cams go haywire and then the cavalry will show up.

In Suzie's defense, it's not like they were going to get out of this by being nice.

Screen time…

Posted on May 12, 2021 by Clint

One of the ways I see a movie with several characters broken down is in terms of screen time, i.e. how many minutes each of those characters is “on screen” for an audience. The main protagonist and/or title character would most commonly have the biggest total, but that’s not always true, and such deviations are not always bad, but if your main character turns out to only be onscreen for 15 minutes out of your 150 minute movie, either that’s intentional or something went seriously awry.

You can’t really tabulate a comic in terms of screen time. I suppose you could use pages or panels that someone appears in. Or should you use dialogue balloon count? Both? Should you even bother doing so, when there are all other manner of hobbies calling you, not to mention the dishes ain’t gonna wash themselves?

But part of me is curious if Suzie would still have the biggest count. I might check that out some time, provided one of y’all doesn’t beat me to it.
