So I think I may have figured something out, but before I say anything more. This would best be considered a rant and yes it will probably anger some people, but I'm okay with that. You have your opinions and I have mine, it's the way of the world. And on that note, on to my world view as it were. I'm still job searching and one of my interviewers asked me why I would be a good hire. For a part time job at Books-A-Million I just bullshitted my way through it as we all do. But it got me wondering, why should anyone(meaning the comic/movie industry) hire me? Why should they care about any of my ideas? Everyone has the NEXT big thing, and they are gonna blow every other idea away. So I'm sure companies are tired of hearing the same fucking pitch/application over and over again. I thought hard on this and finally came up with an answer. I should be hired because I understand the psychology of the majority of the population nowadays. We are a pissed off culture and are constantly looking for an escape. Whether it be love, drugs, adrenalin, or simply a relaxing-esqe story that might remind them of a vacation they once took. It's very similar to me and aggressive breed dogs. I understand what they want and they know it, so they bond to me more quickly. Applying that same logic would mean, IF I were hired and given a chance, I can next to instantly grab my audience's attention and keep it(the more important part) until the story is done. For once I feel like I'm not a moron who doesn't understand how people work. I still may suck at picking up romantic signals from women, but just this once I think I've found the signals that society is putting off.

EXACTLY! That's that same way I feel man. I'm not an idiot (well not all the time anyway)ple from our generation are frustrated. and the art reflects that. The industry needs to take a risk and take on fresh talent like ourselves and stop being so "pussified" and gong with what's "safe". It's not just in comics and movies but in music as well. Shit is just WACK with no substance. Myself as an artist I want to educate as well as entertain. Like KRS-1 calls it edutainment.
