Where the Scripts Are

I am writing in response to the continuing Hollywood lament that there are no good scripts, as echoed again by MGM Chairman Alan Ladd Jr. in “Money Woes Make Script for MGM a Tragedy” (Business, Oct. 27).

He says good scripts have dried up throughout the industry, adding that everyone he talks to at the studios agrees that “there seems to be no really good material around right now.”

Many scripts have journeyed through my word processor, most by well-known career writers. Add to this the number of scripts typed by other services and the number of scripts typed by writers themselves. . . .

No really good material around right now? I’m not convinced.
