Coming Soon

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

The second part of your list is almost entirely comic books. When Hollywood gets fixated on an idea...

Hey, isn't there some Hollywood writers (or something) strike coming up?

That wouldn't apply to films made in England, right? I don't want my next Harry Potter movie delayed.

As I've stated before, just about everything coming out now is based on a comic or a trade.

Combine it with remakes or blatant ripoffs. Then add in the movies based on books.

Now find an idea that actually originates in Hollywood...

Not sure if that is still coming up or was settled. I also don't know if it applied to films or just TV. I thought it was just TV writers.

But yes, it would apply to films in England IF the writers are in the union going on strike.

A strike might be the best thing to happen to originality in Hollywood. I don't go to the movies that often so it wouldn't be a big loss for me.
Wadda mean? Other people can read this?!

You can sell two scripts to Hollywood without becoming a part of the writer's union. After that they won't touch your script.

Yeah; McCarthy was WAY off base accusing them all of being commies.

It was the alcohol. Today he would have a disease... but since he was anti-hippy, he was just bad.

Insane is insane, man. I mean, he could've at least tried to make his shit consistent.

Don't question the guy, he had a disease. The booze was in charge and he couldn't help it.

Plus a lot of the people he said were commies were actually commies.

I'm not denying that commies abounded back in the day. I'm denying that McCarthy had his "iron clad" proof on all of them. Saying there's ultra-liberals in Hollywood is like saying there's sand in the desert. His paranoia & erring on the plus side of statistics is not evidence.

EDIT : & I don't buy the booze excuse, either.

You're missing my point. You CAN use the "he was a victim" excuse, so you SHOULD. The other side uses it every day. If the other side argues with you about it, you can point out their hypocrisy to them.
