No dammit.
I'm having an off day it seems.

If that doesn't work.. Google "Kevin Smith Superman", and watch the youtube video about his experiences dealing with the dealing with hollywood producers..
Interestingly, the producer in question, Jon Peters, was the executive producer on "Man of Steel"..

Re: Movie "magic"
That clip made my week.
Kevin Smith could just do those talks and film them, and outperform 98% of the movies released by Hollywood any year.
The Wild, Wild West story was classic.
[Full disclosure: Unlike Warner Bros., I made money on W.W.W.. And got some nice leftovers.]
Some time later, I'm working on another WB project. With Kevin Kline. Crew were informed there was only one rule with regard to Mr. Kline:
"Do NOT mention W.W.W. to him. Under any circumstances. He's still p.o.'ed about what they told him it would be, vs. what it turned into. He takes his job seriously, and if someone gets him going, he's no good to us for at least a day of filming until he gets it out of his system."
Point noted.
Kevin Kline is a nice guy, so it was easy not to rub his nose in that turd, and avoid getting canned all in one move, just by shutting up.
Bonus: I got to chat with him a tiny bit about Silverado.
But Jon Peters is why Hollywood sucks whale turds most years. Worse, he's only the tip of that turd iceberg.
In fact, I think they even named a famous management principle after him specifically(or at least they should have).
He also proves the adage:

Re: Movie "magic"
Aesop, any luck getting to work on any of Peter Jackson's movies (even if you might have to spend months in New Zealand)?

Never. Going. To. Happen.
Middle Earth is on North and South Island, and the commute for me is hell.
I only get pissed off when they go to Tunisia to find Tatooine, as if everything from Death Valley to Yuma to El Paso isn't the same damned place.
To be fair, Mel Gibson was a lazy bastard for filming We Were Soldiers at Camp Roberts, which resembles the Ia Drang Valley not at all. (I'm specifically guessing there isn't a lot of rye grass and scrub oak in central Vietnam 13 degrees of latitude above the freaking equator.)
I do see a lot of orcs and such hereabouts, but that's mainly near the Armory when it's below freezing at night, and because they're handing out a lot of food to the homeless this time of year, so they're out in droves.
