Lately I have been thinking that maybe you folks need some writers. If you pay me enough, I will proofread my efforts and use a spellchecker.

I bet I am cheaper than the ones you have.

I not only can write, but I can produce High Quality Fertilzer as well.

I can also give advice to those who need it. I can even raise one eyebrow while doing it.

How about you guys? Have any of you been waking up feeling tired and lethargic and then when you look ar yourself in the bathroom mirror you see these two round puncture wounds on your neck?

That sucks, don't it?

They have all these computers, render farms, software and people that are working for an animation factory and if they don't keep churning stuff out they have no reason to exist or continue to get paid, so they churn out stupid movies.

They are so into the process and the technique that they have no clue as to the why or how of moviemaking unless it relates to money.

Hire a writer? What the hell is that?

Make a good movie? We are just making cartoons dammit!

Stroy telling? We have gags, racial and cultural stereotypes and anthropomorphic animals, who needs a story?

Facts, science, logic and plausability? Hey, we are making cartoons dammit! (even real movies can't even bother with that or basic physics)

Retool and revamp our methodology? Hey we are too busy churning out the next piece of drek to take a look at what we are doing.

It isn't art. It isn't communication. It is just manufacturing.

It doesn't matter what is on the assembly line as long as the pipeline is filled up.

Pixar is first rate at animation, but they are also a little bit too much Disney to be worth watching unless you are a child or just a CGI fan.

It's a shame.

What could Tex Avery, Chuck Jones or Friz Frelen do with the marvelous technology? We will have to wait until someone like that takes a crack at it.

Meanwhile we will have anthropomorphic animals doing Disney theme park musical production numbers and isn't that just so cute?

No, I am not interested in seeing the movie. The last one I saw was Cars and it was a disappointment and although beautifully crafted, wasn't it sort of an Elvis movie - without Elvis?

I don't have cable and I have never watched "Meerkat Manor" as I have seen quite enough British television to last me a lifetime, but when a participant in one of these reality shows gets bitten in the face by a cobra and dies, I say that things have gone too far.

Congress should do something about this.

Will someone please think of the CHILDREN?!?!?

Is Chris Angel next? That medium looked at him with eyes that could KILL!

Should they have some security with tasers next show, or maybe hire Blackwater? The world cannot afford to lose Chris Angel or Uri Geller.

They should also check everyone for cobras. It would be so easy to slip a cobra onstage, after all, they are all MAGICIANS.

To Flower, whoever you were, I hope your realtives sue the pants off that production company and may you rest in peace.

Never trust anyone in the television business.

Especially if snakes are involved.
