Re: OT: Politics
The way hollywood's going these days, paying those same cows or racoons to write the scripts would produce marginally better results  |

You know, until recently, they *did* used to say that we only used 10% of our brains.

Re: OT: Politics
Well exactly.
Film script writers probably use less.  |

I think it was Harlan Ellison who gave an example of "creativity" in Hollywood: A producer races into the office of a studio executive. "Chief! I've got a great idea for a movie: let's make The Wiz, white!"
(If you don't get it: The Wiz is a version of The Wizard of Oz with an all-black cast.)

No reason to think that it would be a good one.
