Arts & Humanities - 24 February 2007

I recently finished a feature film screenplay and I'm concerned about the length. When I wrote it in a notebook it was 92 pages long but then when I typed it, it became only 45 pages long. I know that the average is about 1 minute screen time per page, but mine is about 2 minutes per page, some pages are longer about 5 minutes. Making it 90 to 100 minutes long, so thats the average.

Should I be concerned about this or should I just write and whatever length it ends up being is it's length?

thanks

Do multiple plays run on Broadway at the same time? Or is it only one play? Also, are there any plays that have been made into movies (The King and I, My Fair Lady, etc) that are going to be running? Thanks for any information.

Im looking for examples of euphemism in the book Animal Farm by George Orwell. if you dont know, euphemism is "replacing a negative term to a more positive term". I only have 1 example so far which is when squealer calls food reductions as "readjustments" and i need two more. Thanks

Metaphysician Peter van Inwagen argues that philosophy cannot definitively answer any philosophical question. Examples include questions concerning free will/determinism or whether dualism or physicalism is true. van Inwagen thinks that no definitive answer is available for "substantive" philosophical question. Philosophy also cannot supply a conclusive answer to the problem of evil.

Why did African Americans protest against school segregation? I saw this quote on one of their picket signs that said: "Don't treat our children like prisoners!" What does that mean? and how could that have related to segregation. Please help, I don't understand. Thank you so much. :]

I'm an avid reader, but a friend of mine always argues with me that reading is a waste of time because many books have been made into movies. I think that reading has its own perks that a movie can't offer - like you use your imagination while you read to envision the characters, scenery, etc, and it's more interesting that way. What other benefits can you think of in regards to reading instead of watching a movie?

My character has just been betrayed. Does this sound like realistic, believable? This is my first paragraph:

It was a cold hard feeling. It took away any sort of energy. The body was unable to stand in agony as the pain collapsed the spine and tightens the inside of the body, gripping harder and harder. He wanted to tear himself apart because of his stupidity. Why had he opened up? He had shared everything with this man, his secrets, feelings, things he had never told anyone else. Each betrayal begins with trust. That was what Will had given him.

If one is brought up to believe something is true, and this truth is instilled in them, but this something is not actually true, but this person does not know that, and then this person goes and tells others this something is true, are they lying? Why or why not? What other questions come up with this? Is it an unanswerable question? What are your opinions?

Hi! I'm basicially a gigantic fan of the HP book series( I also like the movies), now here is my question: In the upcoming movie, the OotP, they seem to be portraying H/L romance. Do you agree? I, myself am a fan of the ship, why I'm asking this question is the recent picture of Daniel Radcliffe and Evanna Lynch holding hands... So what do you think?
Note: H/L means Harry Potter and Luna Lovegood
