Sometimes, As I Watch A
Sometimes, As I Watch A Movie. . . I try to play the role of script doctor. You know, one of those Hollywood types who gets paid big bucks to re-write a screenplay that's got some potential, has attracted some major stars, but has some big, big problems. From what I understand, Carrie Fisher, she of Princess Leia fame, is one of the best in the business.
But the man I'm nominating for the next opening is the head man at the Bus Blog, Tony Pierce. Last weekend we both saw the new Wesley Snipes/Ving Rhames vehicle, Undisputed. We both thought it could be better, but Tony did a little more thinking as to how.
Let me add my voice to the chorus started by Matt Welch: somebody, anybody, with some serious money in the entertainment biz ought to hire Tony right now. I don't care if it's for photo essays or screenplays, the guy is a genius.
