Umm... isn't anyone capable of re-inventing these days without the re?
Yes, David Mamet is capable and does invent, in cinematic terms. He creates labrynthe, tight plots that actually have to be thought through in advance, and eschews lame twists that screenwriting hacks tack on in favor of credible turns.
He also has his own unique style of dialogue, and has trainmed many of today's popular actors, including William H. Macy and Joe Mategna.
Oh yeah, Spartan is good, but go rent House Of Game and The Spanish Prisoner. Those are awesome
People are crying bloody murder, but just think, this movie could have easily been staffed with the likes of Steven Norrington, Brett Ratner, or Michael Bay directing, or Vin Diesel or Ja Rule as the star.

why do you make films? I make them to be seen and I am honored when it is good enough to be "violated" and "stolen" by people on Kazaa. Hell my next large film to be soon released by the new film group I have joind/formed. will be available
So you see your films in terms of marketing and profits. You don't make films for artistic purposes or just for the joy of making films?
Hollywood is acting out of greed not out of any noble intentions... and nobody should ever see anything that hollywood does as anything but suspect
If you're making films whose main purpose is to be seen, that's just like Hollywood. The only difference is you have a smaller budget.

I want compensation from sales of Microsoft Windows just in case it is used for spreading viruses.
I know slashdot editors like to add their own comments to submitted stories, but this makes no sense. Are you saying that as a virus writer, you should be entitled to some of the profits that Microsoft is making off of viruses?

I see absolutely no reason for people to be listening to music while in any sort of educational institution
Not even in, say, a school of music?

Since Microsoft is in Seattle, this could be a real West Side Story.
based on that comment, here's a Michael Jackson joke I swear I just made up.
Q: How is the RIAA different from Michael Jackson?
A: The RIAA didn't know the boys were 12.
