I understand your sentiment, Pat, but there are no new scripts.  There
haven't been since Marlowe and Shakespeare were still writing scripts.
 I personally consider film to be one of the best values in the world.
 Someone else spends months and months crafting a motion picture, and
tens of millions of dollars, and I get to share this vision (indelibly
stamped in my mind) for less some some of my acquaintances pay for a
few packs of tar and nicotine, or that I might spend for a simple meal
at a mediocre restaurant that will have unmemorably passed through my
system a few hours later.
