They get good ideas and then somehow make them boring or too confusing to be fun to read or somehow insulting to the audience. It's getting very old very fast and I'd bet they're losing readers over it.Rosepixiehttp://www.pixiepalace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28103455.post-50222563829324445272009-08-30T09:07:06.248-05:002009-08-30T09:07:06.248-05:00Could independent film directors be legally requir...Could independent film directors be legally required to sign such a contract?
