Well, good luck to you. But I have to ask what kind of "saga" here has
cinema value. This topic came up on the DML back in 97, I believe. I thought
it
best as a comedy, actually. Other than Cope's nightmares from indigestible
food
and his magic trick of whipping out his dentures for the Indians there's
nothing. Just years and years of two men pissed-off at each other. Or maybe
those old-fashioned shots of newspaper headines spinning around to a stop. Or
maybe I'm just an old grouch... DV
