John Oak Dalton just posted this about his screenwriter friends talking about when they retire they'll start writing B-Movies - as if they would grace us with their presence in the world of D2DVD. John defended B-movies and DVD quite well, but to those other jackasses...
Two words: Fuck you.
(Yeah, that's two. I wasn't sure because I'm just a fuckin' B-Movie writer)
No, really.
Fuck you.
Those that write them, write them.
Those that look down their nose at them - don't know the ass-whupping they're going to get by the industry when they try.
Peace, Love and oh yeah...
Fuck you.

Well spoken, Bill! You know, some of us actually aspire to be B-Movie writers. It's certainly a hell of a lot more challenging.
Sounds just like all of those 'desktop publishers' who say, "I got one of them page layout programs and I can do funny stuff with the photo program that came with my digital camera - HEY! I'm a graphic designer just like you!"
So-called "B-Movies" are the chosen source of entertainment for a lot of people. Particularly me. I grew up on pulp movies, and would far rather rent a low-budget d2dvd spooker than lay out nine bucks for a bloated, overbudgeted rehash playing at the local cineplex that won't be nearly as much fun to watch.
Besides, d2dvd is where the industry is headed anyway. I read a while back where Steven Soderbergh signed a deal whereby his next six films will be released in theaters, cable, and DVD simultaneously, because theatrical release counts for only 9% of the averge film's overall take.
RE: Your comment about needing to have the heart of a child in order to make it in this town.
Let’s see, I have:
1. Baby soft skin
and
2. The eye of the tiger
Crap, no heart of a child. Can I borrow a cup of yours, Bill?
Best served with hickory smoked BBQ sauce...
