In Reply to: "Blood Work" and "Signs": have all the good script writers died? posted by tinear on September 1, 2002 at 10:50:33:
I'm thinking that HBO is drawing some of the best talent away from the movie studio system. The quality of writing in Six Feet Under and The Sopranos is much better than 99% of the crap Hollywood churns out. Alan Ball, for example, who wrote American Beauty, created SFU and writes and directs some of the episodes. And further, they produce what, 12 or 13 hours of very entertaining stuff with a broad appeal every year. Hollywood just doesn't get it.
