Is nothing sacred, not even worms?

I wish I could let you guys hang out with movie executives for a while so you could get an idea of just how amazingly stupid 99.999% of them are.
The thing is that no matter how good the original story is they are incapable of fucking with it because they believe that by doing so they are making it "better"... the more they fuck with it, the "better" it is.
It never occurs to them that the reason that they are making it is that the original work has a fan base because it is good the way that it is... again, they are monumental idiots. That is all.
