A lot of scripts there days are set up as Lowest common denomanator -- hot women/hunky guys, explosions, bad guys with capital B and G, and a plot that might hold together if you tilted your head to the right and squinted....
Quaility or originaity are not in most filmakers lexicon. For every original idea, there are a dozen rip-offs that try to cash in. And the accounting practices a lot of studios use would make most people's head spin.
I'll stick with story writing for now.
