You are so correct in the fact that the big studios are afraid of any other than recycle old scripts and just throw names into them hoping they will sell. You would appreciate what Doug Bradley said on the matter. He stated "Any executive with his snout in the remake trough should be fired. They should be out there looking for the next Carpenter, Tarantino etc etc." Hollywood fears taking risks that the independent studios such as your own Troma are willing to risk. Either way Uncle Lloyd, keep up the great work. I enjoyed Poultrygeist and love the fact that you have kept to the same level of standards you used in the past PS. Would you be willing to accept a script that returns Sgt Kabukiman NYPD to his old honorable self? Excellent commentary Uncle Lloyd!

It's no wonder we choke on the same vile shit repackaged, regurgitated, and re-ingested by the American movie goer. After the first ten to fifteen minutes of the "Hollywood formula" I can walk out cause I know exactly what is going to happen. No one on this forum would likely disagree with me on that front. We all have the same desire, even if they are a bit kinky. We want to be entertained and not hypnotized or sedated by a film. Good or bad, camp or amped, we need it. So Lloyd me dear old friend from back in the day, keep up the good work and hopefully I'll be in production in 4Q 2009 on my first solo effort. Until then, keep waving the flag for us all and fighting the good fight. We are damn proud of you. And for those that disagree with us, what the hell are you doin' here. You should be doing something truly useful like feeding bunnies, hugging burning trees, or orally artificially inseminating livestock.

Because of the Fin/Syn Rules being repealed? Lloyd, I agree with your ideas, history will show that allowing a free market for creativity does encourage a thriving market for film and television. The current state the megaconglomerates are in, I liken them to a bunch of buck-toothed, backwards, backwater families. By not allowing themselves to mingle with fresh genes, being like Troma, they're just going to keep birthing retards like the upcoming remake to the Nobel Prize-winning 2003 remake of The Incredible Hulk or the two and a half hour long Transformers commercial.

Capitalist society requires restrictions in order to operate at any worthwhile level. Keep it independent Lloyd, thanks for all the films and inspiration. Fair point Lloyd.
