I'm not pissed off at the Wolfdens people,..

But I'm real upset!
I just cannot believe these screenplay
writers, producers, directors and actors *allow* themselves
to let a bunch of file cabinet clerks to CAST MOVIES!!!

Then they wonder why the filmed bombed!
It's not the screenplay writers fault, those scripts
have gone through a fine tooth comb. 
It's not the producers, directors or actors fault, ...
it's who you *allow* to put the ingredients that
bake the cake, a bunch of casting directors who can't cook!

Movies are no different from any other American product.
It's all about Quality control. And you cannot let a bunch
of uncreative, incompetent, file clerks decide who gets the part.


That job should be handled by only the producer, the director and the
writers,
no one else. You need to *remove* the Casting Directors system that is
in place now.
The producer, the director and the writer need to be there from the very
beginning
of casting, and that means, The Director, The Producer and The Writers
open up
the headshots that are submitted, and no one else! 

You do that, and there is no such thing as a movie bombing at the box
office.




I even heard Casting Directors arguing with Producers and Directors who
should 
be in the movie, NOW THAT'S INSANE!  

Can you imagine a file clerk telling a director who should be cast? That
is
what happening now. That's gotta end. 

All I know if an Artist is painting a scene on canvas, he is not going
to ask a file clerk , "What colors should I use?"

And that is what you have in Hollywood today, a bunch of screen writers,
producers and directors asking each other, "Howie gonna cast dis
thing??"

"Howie gonna cast dis thing??"
"Howie gonna cast dis thing??"
"Howie gonna cast dis thing??"
