I truly can't believe it, but I really can as I think the film industry is as dumb and dumber as can be. I just left the business because of it's complete mind boggling stupidity. If a studio produces it, from all of the articles and your opinions that I've read, you will be miserable while they develop and produce it. They'll find a way to make it a romantic comedy! Now that I think about it, for your health, you should avoid this. Now to the productive part of this message. One of the best deeply dramatic films with the same complexity is "Deloris Claiborne" (Stephen King) directed (and maybe also produced) by Taylor Hackford. This would be the right man for the job. He has a tough schedule in 2009 (2010 he is less busy), but you'll have to get the film into the right directors hands to make sure it doesn't turn out to be movie that stars Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz!!! I think it's one of the best pieces of theatre I have ever seen. I just read in this past Sunday’s NY Times that a film studio has not yet come to you to produce Osage.

Reminds me of the time Carmen Roman and I removed my screaming 3 year old from the theater. She learned quickly. Now, at age 14, my daughter is appalled at inappropriate theater-goers. Perhaps removal of those patrons acting like toddlers (definitely more like 3%) is the answer. Bravo, Tracy.

You were truly our hero at that moment.
