Good Lord!

Rest In Peace MICHAEL ANTHONY, U died a HERO!
May you dwell in Paradise.

larride: Producers of Spartacus will really be having a good laugh at GOT.

hahaha...I can imagine.

Briareos: Jeff Daniels gotta win for The Newsroom or --















What happened in 1960 will repeat itself

Ah!
I'm glad what happened in 1960 will not repeat itself.
****
...Jeff Daniels won!

-CNN is most viewed worldwide...!
-BBC is widely viewed in Africa.
- And when it comes to tv broadcast, it is definitely CNN.
-But when it comes to radio broadcast, then BBC has a wider outreach.

folakeojo: I am at least happy breaking bad won best drama series this year. Totally deserving.

So what do you think about GOT not clinching any award last night?
Do you think it deserved to win at least one..?

^^^^
good morn to you..
good morning roomies!
wish you all have a splendid week ahead.

**staggers into the chat room walking straight to the bar**
To many things to do this day.

AH.!
Our favorite one izz getting better.
It's a good story well written.
----
OKAY.
-:I think you made use of too many parentheticals:
(Cuts in)
(Chuckles)
(Interrupts)
(Forces a smile)
(Folds the paper)
(Smiles broadly)
(Shrugs her shoulder)
(Breathes heavily)
(Rolls her eyes)
(Stands up, looks bemused)
(Looks around and lowers his voice)
(Angrily, but at a taciturn voice)
(Lowers his voice)
(Holds her two hands)
(Softly)
(Interrupts softly)...
...wait 'interrupts softly..?' couldn't you have made it obvious from the choice of words?
...the ones that didn't make the list above are OK.
...Some parentheticals made the list above because they were used more than ones.
----
-:A trick some students use is to try to convert some of them into action lines. e.g:
(Stands up, looks bemused), (Walks towards the staircase), (Mildly places his two hands on his forehead) and (Beams a wicked smile, walks towards her) can all be put in the action line with of course some modifications.
----
NOW:
-: A Parenthetical is a direction for the character, that is either attitude or action-oriented.
-:It should be used only when necessary and totally unavoidable.
-:I think you used them too many times and it looks like you were telling the characters how to DELIVER their lines -- which ofcourse is the director's job (and everyone knows not to toy with the director's turf).
-:parentheticals should be used sparringly because they are mostly frowned at, by judges who don't like them being over-used.
----
There is this common saying among jurists -- "if you need a parenthetical to show what is happening in a dialogue, then it probably just needs a good re-write.!"

Is there a party going on?

Nomski0:
i'm not a fan of the award but i still watch it, year after year..

okay...Do endeavor to post updates..

ijebabe: Sigh! Finding 'the one' is not easy.

'the one' will surely come...that's what they do - they come.
You'll have held so many auditions to find the right cast..then one day 'the one' will just show up in one of your auditions looking at you straight in the face!
Then you'll know this is the right one -- so @villageboi nor worry you hear?

adaobi123: Downton abbey starts today !! Yaaay

Yaaay
