Re: Things I see over and over in amateur writing...
I missed this in my last response (the skimming thing, I guess). Which makes your apparent "understanding" of pacing even odder.
You said: "Pacing needs to be succinct and have no waste, that's why it is fast." Which seems to imply that all pacing is fast.
But when you use the term "slow paced movie", it would seem you're contradicting yourself again. It's kind of puzzling. So "clearly" we're supposed to hate slow paced movies, if they exist?
And to answer your question: I like good movies. Good movies include both fast paced and slow paced.
You really have to break away from absolutism if you're going to learn anything about screenwriting.
