Is it possible to set out to write a tour de force?

Is it plausible to set out to create a pop phenomenon?

Is it even worth attempting to write something that aspires to be anything other than sarcastic?

I'm surrounded by yes men and no men, and I don't believe either of them...

I'm employing all the yes men, and I'm sickened by the stupidity of all the nay-sayers who think I should be making gritty social-realist art films set in British council estates.

Where's my joy dammit?

I grew up with enough realism to last a box-set of Mike Leigh films... It's not what I want to make. But I don't think they do certificates at the British Board of Film Classification for the type of films I 'm into making... so maybe i should just start with a disney film and get myself known...

I hate selling myself... Like I'm a fucking brand or something... maybe I'll get a load of lunchboxes made up with my face on them... put the kids off their meals... that'd be sweet...

Maybe I'll just get on all fours with a ball gag in my mouth and sell rides along Great Yarmouth* beach... though at this rate I could at least rent out a couple of keen actors and actresses like some pimp... maybe then I can secure a budget independent enough to make the film i want to make...

Clearly I need a Jackhammer on the rocks...

*who put the Great in front of Yarmouth... for that matter, who put the Great in front of Britain... What's so fucking great? And what other country goes around calling itself great to the rest of the world...
