IOn case anyone missed what he was saying, he meant Aren't to blame.
I couldnt agree more. one thing that has caused me to hold off on finishing any screen plays is KNOWING that it will end up in the hands of someone who will want to make it more "palatable" to a wider audience...
I have this nagging fear that something i wrote
specifically to get people's blood boiling will be reduced to some lame knock-off of an existing movie, with some "A-List" no-talent twit starring.
Here's an example: I am afraid that if i (hypothetically) wrote fight club, It would star Ben Affleck as Tyler, Jennifer Lopez as Marla, and Colin Farrel as "Jack", and rather than fighting, they would play a cheesy movie version of Doom multiplayer against each other, but without any blood or demons, because that subject matter can kill a pg-13 rating.
In the end, "Jack" would reconcile with Tyler, and he and Jennifer would buy a mansion by the beach, and he would exorcise his demons by never playing video games too much again. Tyler would be gone, but there would be a shot of him hiding in the closet, laughing maniacally at the end to give it a "twist"
Fucking hollywood assholes.....
