Maybe it was her idea...maybe she's deluded. It's not an entirely original concept anyway. More importantly, and I see this firsthand, it isn't the idea anyway. It takes tons of handshaking, askissing and everything you can imagine to get a show to air. The idea is almost secondary to the process behind getting a show/ movie made.

So a stripper off of the street walks into a movie studio and pitches an idea (which by the way is unlikely because it's all about knowing people to begin with)about making a movie about the moments leading up to the sinking of the Titanic. Studio exec passes for the folowing reasons: too much money, experimenting with unknown digital technology, ship doesn't sink for 3/4ths of the movie and who would want to watch a story that's really about underclass vs. rich people combined with a Romeo and Juliet angle that has been done to death and finally, no stars attached. Another well known director/ whatever takes a meeting and pitches an idea about creating a cartoon series based upon a little comic strip in the local L.A. Weekly called "life in hell". They contact the artist who doesn't want to sanitize his strip so he creates an entirely new cast of characters based upon a nuclear family. So: No concept really, no story lines, no idea on production budgets or turn around, unknown quantity as far as working with cartoonist who seems very strange, blah-blah-blah...no discernible product, just people that want to try and work together.

Of, course Titanic was made as well as the Simpsons. It ain't just about the idea is my point. So to argue this is only an exercise in fantasy. With as hot as Marvel Comics is, Stan Lee could pitch a project about a turd that floats in the toilet all day and someone will want to make it. I don't care how brilliant, innovative and interesting the story or concept is...if it doesn't have the assistance of someone that the upper ranks in Hollywood will listen to, it's as good as dead. Now having said that if anybody steals my turd and toilet story line, I will sue them for all they're worth.
