I like that this is an anti-hero story, Its interesting how it is somewhat multi-protagonist as it switches to Matts story as Andrew completes his transformation into villian, Andrew's no longer fighting to fit in and be popular. In the beginning of the story I found myself rooting for Andrew and then gradually pulling my support for him as he devolved. Great Breakdown.

A film is required to do certain things without relying on sequels which may never come about. You are letting the filmmakers off far too easily. This film failed. It teased but did not deliver on the "promise of the premise." @Thomas Gowan

Don't want to provide date it will debut until we are confidant we can make that date. I'll change the message in the store accordingly.

As I viewed the film, I could not help but think through the Blake Snyder Beat Sheet... I instantly knew the theme was stated when Matt quoted philosophy. It is such a well-done film, and I think its success and resonance with the audience is mainly due to how the structure follows the Beats so well. I am planning on looking at the film from the perspective of the Hero's Journey as well, even though Andrew is sort of an anti-hero. Even so, the story has such a great structure that the viewer can't help but come away satisfied. Can't wait to watch it again! Very nice beatdown!

For the developer of the iPad software, I understand that it takes a while to develop the software, and to do it justice. I get that. I write screenplays. You don't crank those out overnight, either. What I'm not happy about is the total lack of information on the website about the upcoming iPad version. In the ad for the desktop software, from October, you have "keep watching the iTunes store - iPad version coming soon." But in following six months there has been nothing about it. At all. Is it coming out this year? Next year? You get the point. And no section on the forum for the software should not happen. You are creating software and you have a forum. Support the software on the forum. That's all I'm saying. Sorry. Just frustrated at the lack of info. If it's coming out in December, fine. I know to use something else until that time. But to just have no follow up? No professional, in my humble opinion. Let me just finish my rant by saying that I’m sorry I posted twice. iPad accidental double tap on the button.

Just don't like using it on iPad in 2x. I'm just looking for iPad version news because this seems to be the only thread anywhere in the universe that actually acknowledges that it might possibly someday exist. Guess I was wrong. Time to Move on to another piece of software. STC I like the books, but your support on the website for your current and future software sucks. And that alone is enough to put me off of giving you any more money. To Koll.
