We hear OVER...
                              GABRIEL (V.O.)

                You know the problem with

Hollywood? They make shit.

Unbelievable, unremarkable shit.

I'm not some grungy filmmaker-

wannabee searching for

existentialism through a haze of

bong-smoke. It's easy to pick

apart bad acting, short-sighted

directing, or the purely moronic

stringing together of words many

of the studios term as prose. No,

I'm talking the lack of realism.

Realism. Not a pervasive element

in the modern American cinematic

vision.
