  I'm sorry to say, but this idea is dilusional ( Tracey, you know me
well enough to know where I'm coming from).  The film industry is
divided into two groups.  The money people, and the artists.  The
artists care about accruacy and making things cool, the money people
have a blank stare on thier face when you tell them such things.  When
an artist gets enough power to be the one to make the difference and can
speak directly to the money people, he/she is still met with a blank
stare, then become nervous about paying his/her mortgage if they are
fired for being too difficult.

  I may be 31 years old, but nothing aged me faster than participating
in such a venture.

  I do however, believe accuracy can be accomplished on a
smaller/cheaper scale and gain the attention of larger studios.  The
more that the public sees what IS right, the more that the large
studious will see that it is less of a chance to make things right.  The
rub lies in telling money people that they are wrong and you are right.
You need to be sneakier.
  The perception of what is scarry, or endearing can be maniputlated.
Look at the design of monsters before Alien, and then after it.  The
public reacted to it's design quality, and the studios had to deliver
more.  Or how child actors are getting less annoying because people
reacted to how the little boy in Gerry McQuire acted like a real little
boy, and that 50's prototype of kid.
  I think that progress is being made!  It's not going to happen fast
though. The public already accepts dinosaurs as ANIMALS rather than
antediluvian monsters, and that's a huge step as far as I'm concerned!
