Man, I used to love those "Art Of" books, but nowadays it feels like it's only art of stuff that actually made it into the movie.  I loved seeing the alternate designs, unused stuff, material cut for time, that sort of thing, but it feels like they never include them now (or only put a few small examples in there).  Everything has ot be perfect perfect perfect now, no one must know that things were imperfect at any point.

I'm real curious to see how you use the girl characters since they're barely characters in the flick.

I'm happy to bounce man, especially on something like this that's just writing for the trashcan.  No stakes, no rules, just pure creativity that may lead to an idea or insight down the road, or create a part that might be useful in something else.
