@Bill - I am working on an Online Drama Series... Web Soap! - Pure Drama!

@bill I did include indirectly. Supposing you read something which says that black people are thieves. You happen to be black. Wouldn't you feel aggrieved, even if that thing you read wasn't referring to you specifically? In terms of logical fallacy, the term "poisoning the well" is apt here, because what Markus is in effect saying is that because he doesn't agree with an opinion (which he's perfectly entitled to do - I disagree with what he said, but I'll defend to the death his right to be wrong), he is calling me and everyone who would have the temerity to agree with me somehow deficient. Incidentally, there is a legal principle which states that if you don't refute something, then you are deemed to have accepted it as fact. Obviously, life would more-or-less grind to a halt if we took such care over the minutiae of day-to-day living; nevertheless, in defence of my reputation I am bound to my actions, just on the offchance that Markus was referring to my remarks.

@loralie Sorry to dredge up ancient history, but I'm ashamed to say I've not seen your contribution to this post 'til now. Obviously Shakespeare was writing for an audience which was not overly stuffed with Greek critics. Besides, he was writing on the basis of the classical education he'd got at the grammar school he attended on account of his father's high office. But the point is - neither Venus nor Adonis, nor really any of the characters Shakespeare created, as opposed to them being historical figures like Henry V, is the part of a white person, to be played by a white person; neither is it specifically for black people. The original question did, after all, specify that it was a black character that was to be written for, rather than a part which could be played by a person of any colour.

yes, that's true, but then the conversation went a little off track and I followed it there :p

@Richard, thank you - that's exactly what I am doing... and i have to say, its coming along pretty good!!! Loving every aspect of it!!! - "Autumn"

A rom com with a dead principle called Dead Serious.My Corpse lover- My boyfriends a stiff-Lust and laughs and stiffs-Necrophilia isn't that what married people do? Money raising trailer. It has to be in verse t'were my cheeks were gardens full of flowers, they should recieve money in showere etc. Use the venus reel with the music but put a voice over narration commentary= not only does this girl not shut up, but she doesn't give up. I need your crowdsourced money to make a great short film. If you don't want what this guy gets you better start handing over the dosh. (Obviously all this has to rhyme, and edit the film so that you see the huntsman get decked time after time- go splitscreen 4 ways so you can see what a proper pasteing he gets) Probably not that helpful but i gave it a go. I would just ask lynx for the money. Just remembered an old joke that could be battered into a tagline,Que. what did your last slave die of? Ans. Too much sex. If one lover believes the other to be dead, acts rashly which results in their own death, and then the first supposedly dead lover wakes to the despair of finding their persihed soulmate and takes their own life etc etc. I wonder how long you could cycle this?The device works because the audience know what the protagonist does not, but the level of knowledge could change the outcome.Heres something new to add to the mix, in verona (not far from venice if you are the festival too) there's a tourist bit and a supposed balcony.The interesting thing is all the love notes stuck to the wall nearby.What a great plot point, what if there was a message there?

Is this the reason you don't have a profile pic Clive? ;)

@Clive lol- I might just incorporate some of that :p @ Paul yeah right?!

Hahaha......looking forward to the finished project ;)

Thanks Paul, you can follow updates on the movie here http://www.facebook.com/deadseriousmovie?ref=hl Hope to have the indigogo campaign up next week, although that seems a bit rushed so maybe the week after.
