2010-03-18 Thread Augustus Augustus

Martin, Nick of Time was pretty good, but in '24', it takes place in a one day time span. Even with the clock on the screen, it could not be done in 2 hours. It would be like watching one of those time lapse scene's in movies where you see the sun rise and set in about 7 seconds. What makes '24' works for me is that all of the sub-plots that are going on while the main story is unfolding. I think that would be impossible to condense in a 2 hour format.

  Whoops... pardon me, Fate. 
The idea of a countdown was sorta done in "Nick of Time". If memory serves, the counter wasn't on-screen continuously, just at critical points in the movie. Constant countdown, as you said, would make for more suspense.

Sutherland has starred throughout all eight seasons as Jack Bauer, a
federal agent and member of the Los Angeles Counter Terrorist Unit (and who
has saved the world several times over). 24 made noise for its real time
format, in which all 24 episodes take place as consecutive hours in the same
day.

Although it was developed before the attacks of 9/11, the show, which bowed
Nov. 6, 2001, in many ways began to mirror the changed world, given
real-life fears over terrorism and debates over torture methods. Skein's
depiction of an African American president was seen as a ground-breaking
precursor to the 2008 election of Barack Obama.

The show has won the Emmy and the Golden Globe awards for drama, while
Sutherland has scored both an Emmy and a Globe for actor. 24 has also
received Emmy Awards for writing and directing; last year, Cherry Jones won
an Emmy for supporting actress in a drama.

This season's edition of 24, which takes place in New York, stars
Sutherland, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Jones, Anil Kapoor, Annie Wersching, Katee
