sharkeatingman, your comment of my 'overwhelming desire to be right' probably comes from my desire to be right, once. The film, The Sixth Sense is one of my favourite films, I've watched it 30 or so times. My understanding of…

With regard to the way I wrote the logline, if it is wrong then fair enough. You are the expert, I am the beginner. But your understanding of the film itself is, I consider to be, lacking. Should I rewrite…
on A nurse helps two vampires rob a mobile blood bank.

Where is the humour in the logline?

sharkeatingman, what film were you watching? Quote-The fact that the boy character reminds him of another isn't relative to the bigger picture. I saw the film being about a child psychologist treating a child who sees dead people. The film…
on A historian from a line of disgraced fortune hunters discovers a treasure map on the back of the Declaration of Independence.

on In another universe, a young girl stumbles upon a plot in the kidnapping of children by a religious organization called the Magisterium, who will stop at nothing to ensure the continuation of their doctrine and hold over the world they live in.

Given that this is your logline for an existing film, The Golden Compass. Was the Magisterium a religious organisation? Given that the sequel was stopped because of religious group (catholics) I'd leave out the religious aspect completely. (Don't you think…
on When a socially inept nerdy teen falls for the newest cool girl in town, he must battle her 7 evil exes before he can date her.

That film was on the TV the night before last, guess the name of the lead?
on A well-dressed fashion mannequin desperately wants to build a real life of friends, family, work and love – but his true nature is catastrophically revealed during a date with the woman of his dreams.

Oh bugger, I didn't realise the mannequin was animated. I looked at what you'd written for ages, but it didn't move. Just describing it as a fashional mannequin should be enough, then putting that it wants a life of real…

Have you used the word mannequin figuratively or literally?
