However....with as many writes and rewrites going on....its amazing how crappy most of these movies end up becoming...Most mainstream stuff is just cliche ridden crap with very little substance and lots of flash.

That's
because of the rewrites. The studio will say, "can't do that, it will cost 2 million to make it snow" etc. In order to appeal to a wide audience, it gets narrowed down to fit just like every other movie out there.
I guarantee Jack's best drafts were probably the first drafts. Then it gets watered down to something the studios can make more cheaply, and more easily sold to the masses. It's a business. Look at the 996 versus the air cooled 911's. Same thing happened there.
Hey, I just put this thread on-topic!
