I was about ready to storm the thread and out myself in the process. I was steamed up over comments re 'written without the theme in mind', and the 'written ahead of time'. Theme written in dialogue does not a theme make. I was stomping my feet.
Calmed myself down after that. I thought I could argue Jimmy running for office - Win at all costs, Jenny will say yes to his marriage proposal, sooner or later - she's a winner at the end cause that stamp is worth a fortune, blah-de-blah... Too subtle, not his story, hers, etc., so...
I read it again myself and realised with a sinking feeling that half of the link to theme had ended up on the cutting-room floor when this rush job had to have 1.5 pages deleted.
Anyway, I decided to suck it up instead. Suck it up, I did!
Ah, yes. We've all been there!
I figured it was the theme note that was going to be the issue. I've gotten that one from at least one reviewer on every script. And, I've got a defense for each one. I was thinking you might also... so, I was curious what I missed.
Thanks for the follow up!
