In the beginning was the Idea.
And then came the Story Outlines.
And the Story Outlines were without form.
And the Idea was without substance.
And darkness was upon the face of the Writers.
And they spoke among themselves, saying, “It is a crock of shit, and it stinks.”
And the Writers went unto the Directors and said, “It is a pail of dung, and we can’t live with the smell.”
And the Directors went unto their Producers, saying, “It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it.”
And the Producers went unto their Studio Heads, saying, “It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide its strength.”
And the Studio Heads spoke among themselves, saying to one another, “It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong.”
And the Studio Heads went to the Vice Presidents, saying unto them, “It promotes growth, and it is very powerful.”
And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying unto him, “This new idea will actively promote the growth and vigour of the studio with very powerful effects.”
And the President looked upon the Idea and saw that it was good.
And the Idea became a Movie.
And this is how shit happens.
