people have been blaming screen writiers for lack of imangination or w/e for ages now about the lack of good movies but after reading this i realize they are entirly to blame.


From Stephen Lord (with over 160 screen and TV credits, including "Bonanza," "The Virginian," "The Outer Limits" and "Matlock")

When I wrote the teleplay adaptation for "The Bible" for NBC, they condemned me to some vice-president. It would take me a long time to describe all her ridiculous notes, but one will always stand out in my mind. She phoned me and was worried about the budget; she asked: "In the scene where Moses brings down all those plagues we could save some money if you could cut it down to just three."

(Later, also in the middle of the plagues scenes she noted, "Why the hell do people continue to follow Moses when he keeps bringing all those natural disasters down on them?")
