Oh, for the days of diing Moguls and the 1970s!. When studio heads would give a truckful of of $$$ to a no-name, up and coming director to direct the movie he wanted!

Remember that only came about because Hollywood was in the crapper deeper than it is today, as nobody really wanted to see sh-t like "Paint Your Wagon."

That's my point entirely, Clemenza.

I'm sure that Hollywood would jump at the opportunity to hand a Young Turk a boatload of $$$to make a film that makes bundles of $$$.

Unfortunately, that film would be torn to pieces by lawyers representing GLAAD, NOW, NAACP and who knows who else.

Against that Ominous Spectre of lawsuits, miles of film on the floor and re-shooting. The Far Left Coast has opted for revolting, re-made, recycled, inofensive pap.

Give it a couple of more months, and the Indies might just move in and take over.

Or Hollywood could just kill all the lawyers!

Jack.
