Thanks Matt - I may send that article to a few agents/producers who are dragging their feet with my script.

No sweat. The question really is: how far are they going to swing? Is Hollywood's version of originality not going to be all that original at all? Or will they, to compensate for the barrage of reboots/remakes/sequels, create an onslaught of incredibly original films?

Can't be bad though. That article says that Universal paid $1MM for an original comedy idea. Now none of us will see that, because (a) we're not established writers and (b) we're not pitching to Universal. But all of this is good to hear nonetheless.

Yes, Mike, we know there are starving children in the fuckin' world. You keep reminding us. I wonder if Unicef will let me post my scripts on its website. Phil

Get over it, Phil. I deleted my post. Are you happy now?
Btw, do you realize with the money Americans spend on just ice cream alone each year, we could end world hunger?

You didn't really delete your post. You replaced it with another.

How far will they swing? I ask that myself all the time lately.

I find it funny that only know they are starting to realize.
What Am I Working On? Currently going back and forth with projects. (--) : Reason why Rainforests are disappearing is because of all of the useless scripts Hollywood wants everyday.

Just as an aside, We could've ended world hunger with Live Aid. Or Live 8. At least then Bono could go back to rocking and Geldof could shave off his 'interesting' facial hair. We didn't. And they won't. Not yet. Back on Planet HollyBollywood, Good work fella. Hope it's going well for all the grafters. And to the bible studiers out there - here's an idea, just in case you get a bit bored of distracting those who type - get rich. Quick. And then go and feed those starving kids. And the hungry ones too. Just an idea. Oops. Macca's on the telly playing Live And Let Die. Gotta go folks. R x
