Meeting Decisions:
“You (hopefully) heard it here first: I’m no longer slated to make Wonder Woman. What? But how? My chest… so tight! Okay, stay calm and I’ll explain as best I can. It’s pretty complicated, so bear with me. I had a take on the film that, well, nobody liked. Hey, not that complicated.

Let me stress first that everybody at the studio and Silver Pictures were cool and professional. We just saw different movies, and at the price range this kind of movie hangs in, that’s never gonna work. Non-sympatico. It happens all the time. I don’t think any of us expected it to this time, but it did. Everybody knows how long I was taking, what a struggle that script was, and though I felt good about what I was coming up with, it was never gonna be a simple slam-dunk. I like to think it rolled around the rim a little bit, but others may have differing views.On the supply side, I believe that a little sacrifice isn’t too much to ask. I am not talking about the sacrifices our grandparents made during WWII rationing and recycling metals and other materials, just watching what we use. All I am advocating is making one or two less trips a week by thinking ahead, by going to the store maybe once a week not two or three times. Recipes - Food Recipes

Realistically, I find this to be impossible on a large scale. Americans don’t like change in habits. Just like what I discussed earlier why Clinton or Obama won’t be elected, we like the status quo and take a long time to get comfortable with new things. That’s why we are slower to accept certain technologies like cell phones and broadband internet in comparison to the rest of the world.
