- Where's everybody these days? Busy, perhaps? Well, let me stir
- things up a little bit. Here, in my humble desperate plea, are ten
- ways to improve Hollywood -
- 1. Get rid of sequels, buddy/cop, yuppie
- redemption, sexpot-from-hell movies.
- 2. Make sure women get more acting jobs
- than dogs.
- 3. Tell boneheads like Arnold Schwarzen-
- neger to stop doing interviews on topics other than the film he's
- promoting.
- 4. Commit Scorsese, Kubrick, Altman,
- Pollack, Lynch, Cronenberg, Demme, Bertolucci to directing at least
- one movie a year.
- 5. Tell Oliver Stone and Spike Lee to give
- it a rest.
- 6. Enroll all the studio executives in an
- Introduction to Film class.
- 7. If there has to be violence in movies,
- make it real and disturbing rather than fun.
- 8. Tell Steven Spielberg to grow up.
- 9. Make more black AND white films and
- fewer black OR white films.
- 10. Make more black and white films.
