I’m fairly sure I’ve already related this in another thread, but I’m another retired Hollywood denizen. Spent about thirty years as a Story Analyst at a couple major motion picture studios. Essentially, I wrote book reports for a living. I’d read movie scripts, novels, non-fiction, comic books, etc., etc., etc. and tell studio honchos if they ought to buy the material and make a movie out of it. If the company already owned the material I’d offer up suggestions on how to "improve" it. It’s a process known in the movie industry as Development. I’ve had my share of hit motion pictures. I’ve helped develop a passel of Academy Award winners.

I must say, too, that it’s the perfect job for an audio-fool. I’d sit there in my easy chair and blast the stereo as I’d flip through the pages of one more cop drama.
