Dude, in case you missed it the first time around.

People make movies to make money.  It's called show-biz.

They (the people who make movies to make money) don't give a shit about your
opinion about anything.

But thanks for sharing.

Gotta tend to agree.  In a way it's puzzling that docu-dramas keep getting
made because very few of them are either commercially or artistically
successful.  The ones that are tend to be about stuff that's well and truly
in the past (I dunno, Patton?  Lawrence of Arabia?)... Is there a single
fictionalized rock movie about real events that's generally liked?  The
Buddy Holly Story, maybe, and maybe but a little less so, Walk the Line?
 Pretty slim pickings.
