nah! its not that. its just all so weird.

Someone says -oh yeh! he's well known for it. the stories are legion. Could you get to the point where you're pitching a script and not know of his reputation.

Then someone else comes on all Doris Day - - oh gosh gee! you don't really want me to do that...

And the you have people like Alan Parker says - my working week is criss crossing continents begging people to fund my films..
And there's this guy supposedly doling out money from his office in Hollywood.

If you don't smell a rodent in the machine.....
