I always try to put my self in the room with the producers and greenlighters at the studios when they decide on one of these films. I ask... what in the world made them say YES it is worth 60 million to make. It seems steve martin has been stuck in that same room for the past 20 years.

I made the mistake of leaving National Treasure 2 on my Netflix list. I figured how bad could it really be? It could be one of the worst movies EVER! Do you think that sometime during the filming, editing or screening, one person in the cast said, “This is just terrible!” or do you think they are so self important that they feel anything they touch is a masterpiece.

Steve Martin is just terrible. The only movie he has been good in for the last 20 years was The Spanish Prisoner.

We have two books my Dad wrote that have been optioned by big Hollywood Producers for years and years. GREAT stories. One is the story of the great Baseball showman, Bill Veeck. Anyone who knows his story, knows what a fantastic movie it would make. He's the guy who sent the midget up to bat! The other one is the Willie Sutton story...the legendary bank robber who broke out of every prison they put him in. Another great story. Both are actor's dream roles.

But still, the producers can't find financing. Every time I see movies like this I want to cry.
