For the record...

I am getting a little tired of kickass heroines who make stupid choices out of anger. If they were really that kickass and working in a dangerous profession like bounty hunting or magical badass detecting, they would not survive such recklessness and bad decisions.

But why be a party pooper, huh? Many a Hollywood writer/director has made a good living out of reckless, bad decisionmakin' heroes who wouldn't survive ten minutes in the real world. That's why they call it "fantasy."

Girls can play, too.

And I'm still reading.

Hee. Yes. I like characters who think before they do things. They might survive 20 minutes. :D

[pjthompson]

Yes! And that extra ten minutes might save the world. ;-)

I shall make a mental note to avoid such things in the future.

The temptation of bad decisions in plotting is strong...strong...I've been there myself...

I think you may have popped me for a few moments of that in O.K., actually, and the story is stronger now for it.

[pjthompson]

I'm glad if that's the case. I hope you'll do the same for me if you ever notice me going that way.

[kmkibble75.livejournal.com]

I'll certainly try!

One of the good things in "Last Action Hero" is Jack Slater discovering how vulnerable he is in the "real world"

[pjthompson]

Never saw that one.
