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
