Hollywood Writers On Strike

This could be the opportunity that we amateurs have been waiting for. Perhaps we could step into the breach and tell it like it really is?
Perhaps now, 'The Hero' will have more than the requisite ‘24 hours’ to get himself out of trouble.
He will have more time, than whatever the timer is set at, to diffuse ‘the bomb‘.
He wont have to be framed and shot before he discovers who the ‘bad’ cop is - because he is the hero, he will know already.
He wont always get the girl.
He will be able to consign favourite phrases such as: 'lets DO this!' - 'weve got a situation here' - ‘I just got to get me one of those’ - ‘I’m getting too old for this shit‘ - ‘I’ve got a really bad feeling about this’ - & 'Nuke 'em, lets nuke the bastards'- to the dustbin where they belong.
America will cease to be ‘The Leaders of the Free World’ and they will cease to lay claim to having invented everything from the bikini (early Roman) to the jet engine ( Frank Whittle) to the Enigma machine (scientists at Bletchley Park - that’s in England) - and - most importantly, the second world war will have the correct start date (1939 and NOT 1942 when you yanks decided to join in!)

Perhaps they should'nt stay on strike for too long - we could get used to it!! On the other hand, it may re-educate the American cinema-going public.
