    The fallacy of the theory that TV is better than the best movies is that people believe that WRITING is EVERYTHING when in fact it isn't.

        @BretEastonEllis I challenge most to want to watch an entire TV season repetitively like a favorite movie.

        @BretEastonEllis I could not agree more, and i am a big fan of tv series nevertheless. Directing is everything.

        @BretEastonEllis so you're saying your main activity - writing - is a fallacy ? Isn't that like biting yourself in the ass?

        @BretEastonEllis Yeah should just scrap it altogether. I mean directors don't get enough credit as it is.

        @BretEastonEllis while I agree, I do think that TV has the advantage of time, allowing characters and storylines to develop and breathe.

        @BretEastonEllis If I understand your thesis Post-Empire isn't TV or Movie execs. It's long-tail creatives-and neither really win there.

        @BretEastonEllis I agree with you that movies are infinitely better than TV, but writing is, not everything, but pretty damn close.

        @BretEastonEllis only idiots compare TV to movie, it's like comparing a poem to a novel, or a song to a speech. Different rhythms.
