Defamer takes a shot at all those insiders taking a shot at Tom Cruise's weird development deal with executives from Six Flags - especially the unidentified agency executive who told the LAT: "This feels very Plan C, maybe even Plan D." And I dare you to read aloud that second sentence in one breath:
This is just another example of reflexively conservative, insecure, thinking-inside-the-box Hollywood turning up its nose at those who dare to think differently. Visionaries like Cruise and Wagner are rarely appreciated in their lifetimes, but once the full spectrum of alternative revenue streams afforded by their partnership with Six Flags come to light, such as a discretionary script development fund drawn entirely from the loose change that falls out of Magic Mountain patrons' pockets as they helplessly hang upside down in a variety of gravity-defying rides (money, it should be noted, that is wastefully earmarked for their carnies' malt liquor budget), those who once laughed at the fading megastar's "Plan D" will be killing each other to set themselves up in copycat deals with Knott's Berry Farm.
