You can't leave civilization behind entirely.
Films must all have the same structure. All of this to guarantee box office bonanza, which of course it never does, but that's another discussion entirely.
America is terrified of the passage of time. Prozac Nation. Land of Face Lifts.
Hollywood... a city I was to come back to time and again, in sickness and in health, in success and in failure, with anticipation and with dread.
