Check out those credits, on what was meant to be "irony".

The writer of Basic Instinct.

The director of See No Evil Hear No Evil.

Coolio, Chuck D., the bitter twisted one out of "Monty Python" who never bothers turning up for reunions, Harvey Weinstein and Sandra "Hudson Hawk" Bernhard.

How could it fail?

Let's try that link again, shall we?

Oh, no kidding. I am planning on writing an entire section on Burn Hollywood Burn an Alan Smithee Film. And by the way, IMDB has the title wrong because there is NO punctuation in that title. The irony only begins with the credits. The ultimate irony (which will play heavily in my completed article) is that ...An Alan Smithee Film actually killed Alan Smithee. The DGA has new rules because of that movie.

Good section! Some niggling things:

It's "Eszterhas" with a "z" in it, it's "Whoopi", with no "e" and it's "ad nauseam" not "nauseum".

But other than that - cool!

Thanks... It's going to go through a lot more tweaking before I send it up to peer review anyway. Proof reading, fact checking, inlaying h2g2 links etc.
