and before you bash what i said... i do love a good story... and i think weak stories and weak scripts are a huge problem in hollywood today... so many movies would have benefited from another re-write or two... but, as you'll read in that post i linked to... i don't think that story is "everything"... i think it is merely one of the tools of filmmaking... a very important and often overlooked one, i agree... but just one of the tools, nonetheless...
