I actually got mad yesterday when I saw that Apple is giving Scorcese money. I'm so fucking over Scorcese.

One of Shamalyan's assistants told me once that it took him seven drafts to realize that Bruce Willis was dead. Which was the last time anyone made Shamalyan write seven drafts of anything.

I actually really, really like some Scorsese. but I really don't like much of it. And the Irishman just made me mad, mad, mad.

I have SO MANY bad ideas.... but my wife, my confidants, my limited financial resources, and my lack of fame and/or power prohibit a lot of them from coming to fruition. I guess when you're that famous/rich/powerful - no one tells you "no".

I've mentioned before that the overwhelming majority of successful people in Hollywood have rich and/or connected parents. It didn't quite sink in until I realized that my most successful friend is the son of a legit Forbes List billionaire.
