Canned laughter is an equivalent to a worship leader in a church worship inviting parishioners to participate in worship experience. Entertainment should invite participation without it feeling forced.
Writers like to ramble on a little, don't we? So, mine for the day: which books should we read? Dead Pan? It's a little, as you say Richard, like screenplays from Gen Z writers. Why should I bother? Afterall, teachers shoved Sons and Lovers (and many other drab fare) down my throat when at the same age. And for what purpose? Yes, words remain important for some but not most people. Take for example the language of uneducated black and white Americans. Hey bro. (What's this bro shite? - as Clint once said). Much easier, isn't it, for people to be hyped with word-of-mouth and go see a flick in a cinema. Sit back and be enthralled or otherwise walk out or nod off. And even the good writers don't make it easy. Compare Nolan's Inception with Dunkirk. I just wonder if a novice had written the latter with such paucity of words whether it might have been viewed as "wanting".
