Your subtitle could have been my headline for high school. I quibble with but one sentiment in what is otherwise another uncanny sharing of my own hymnal — “the industry knows what people want.” My entire rationale for being is that they do not. They stoke demand for the lowest common denominator because they are lazy and selfish. “To hell with them, and to hell with the film industry awaiting you with even more rejections.” Let that be the toast over our next Negroni.
