Tired of "twisted" "blood-drenched" films?

Even "good" ones with great acting?

I am.

I think a lot of people are, which is why we're turning out in droves to watch some good clean fun films for the whole family.

After having been a journalist and seeing too much of the real thing I had no stomach for fake blood and guts, thank you, so I was pretty much out of the Quentin Tarantino fan club before it formed.

I think our troops in Iraq are seeing more blood and guts and gore than any movie could capture, and as much fun as it is to portray phony horror and grisly murders, I'd really rather find a reason to laugh these days - on set and in private.

It's why most of the scripts I'm writing are edgy comedies.

I'm really looking forward to the LA script conference I'm having this week for one of my new screenplays. Hopefully they will experience it as a pee-your-pants funny film that is, as one screenwriter who has read it declared it, a "one of a kind" family movie that will stay with you and make you smile for a long, long time.

I'll keep you in the "loop!" ;-)

    The stock of adult diapers just went up after that comment. ;)
