Missing the point /OP
[NB. This is an 0pen Post. See the info below.] Hollyweird has been influenced too much by mixed academia nuts and isolated from the real world by its own preoccupation with celebrity. Witness the behavior noted by Where Have You Gone Ronald Reaganwherein the Hollyweird "academy" nominated Brokeback Mountain for four times as many Oscars as The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Seems Hollyweird missed the point of Holly Lisles' "Thirteen Sacred Commandments of Suckitudinous Fiction" and took those "commandments" as their bible for "art".
It's as though Hollyweird and its suckophants (no, I did not mean to write "sycophants") among the "critics" read Holly Lisles' rant and thought, "Hey! These are really good ideas! Let's follow these commandments as much as we can, at least a little at a time, until no one will even know when the Emperor is walking around in his birthday suit...
