John Williams and Nicholas Cage... these are names that inspire terror, dread and loathing in movie goers across the world. How many times have you been to a Spielberg flick, and thought, Oh my god... why does he keep hiring that hack?" Or seen Cage chomp the scenery with cluttered mannerisms that would embarrass even Paul Lynde... What would it take to stop these men, to make the movies safe again, in short -- to buy out their contracts?

This website is devoted to the proposition that the world can improve, that it can be a better place, that maybe... just maybe... we can attend a mainstream Hollywood flick and not have some intrusively bland musical score rip us out of the action. That someday the insufferable, overpaid bore who stank up a half dozen films before 8mm might actually not be billed as a "deep" actor... That maybe these hacks might not keep getting multi-million dollar fees for work that seems like it was phoned in last week?

Sure, there are plenty of other targets in Tinseltown who are equally deserving... but we have to start somewhere. This webpage is a breath of hope for a world weary with tedium. Please join me in this call to action -- I am currently raising funds to buy out the contracts of Cage and Williams, to offer them enough money -- whatever it takes -- to keep them from working for the next five years, time enough to clear the air and make movies safe again. Below are e-mail links where you can pledge your financial support to make this dream a reality. Right now I am not actually collecting money, but I will keep track of your donation pledges, and come the blessed day when our offer is accepted, I'll get in touch with you all and let you know.
