The Coming of Sound

I was reading this plot summary today for the archive, and it made me sort of wish that we were still living in the silent era. Then I REALLY would have wanted to write scripts for a living. They were so much fun!
Now, it just seems to be tedious... people have to waste so much time TALKING and it has to make SENSE... you can no longer just send your main character off to East Africa to run a brothel, after her auspicious education at a convent school in Germany comes to a close -- because critics might have a problem with "credibility."
BO-RING.
