school run character survival poll!
so here's the thing: when i started working on school run, i had it in mind to keep with zombie flick tradition. that is, to start with a group (in this case, of grade-school kids) and then kill them off one by one in horrible and entertaining ways until the sun sets on (or a rescue chopper comes for, whatever) a lone survivor at the end. and i specifically wanted the protagonists to be kids, because kids vs. zombies is something i haven't seen before. but when i told people about my plans i'd get these shocked reactions--i couldn't possibly do that. how could i do that? apparently you just don't feed kids to bloodthirsty mutant hordes, not even fictional cartoon kids that don't exist. and so i am putting things to a vote. if enough people vote to save the kids they get a reprieve. you won't get to vote for or against individual characters, just how many survive. the poll will be on the sidebar of this blog until the end of june. vote now people, the lives ...
I used to not like the Harry Potter series back when the first three or four books first came out. And then Twilight came out and made the HP books so much better in comparison. Or maybe the merits were there all along and it took the presence of Twilight to shine a light on those qualities.
ReplyDeleteyung unang HP lang and medyo nagustuhan ko, pero nandun na yung mga elemento na naging dahilan ng pagka-turn off ko dun sa series: yung pagka-passive hero ni harry, yung consumerized na mahika, etc.
ReplyDeleteyung twilight di ko pa nasisimulan, knock on wood.
