A very funny spoof on the problems of an industrial script writer. Highly entertaining for anyone who sees "What Are We Trying To Do?"

Another amusing Calvin picture, dealing with a poor film executive dealing with business executives about what kind of film they want to make. I liked how everyone in the business was a yes man to everyone else. The business people were always sucking up to the person higher in power, "That's what I was thinking!" making the film exec even more confused. Many EB voices also are shown to have faces in this film as well.
