Kids at street corners have idea and vision, no shortage in that. What matters is putting together idea and vision with execution. And for anything that is beyond basement scope, execution further subdivides into craft and access. Access to the means, and that is true for Hollywood as much as it is true for the smallest-time painter who might not be good at making friends with gallerists. The outliers are those that learn the craft, network into a position of access and still retain some trace of idea and vision through all of that.
- TylerE 4y agoKids on corners have ideas. Very few of them are GOOD ideas. Anyone can say 'Make a movie with lots of aliens and lasers'. It still takes Ridley Scott to make Alien.
- usrusr 4y agoYet at the same time that "Pinback chased by the beach ball monster" scene that eventually evolved into Alien is hilariously deep in "kids on street corner ideas" territory
- xsmasher 4y agoKids at street corners have idea and vision, but may lack TASTE - the ability to discern the good from the bad. If the button-pushers have great AI but lack taste they will still produce a terrible end product.
