allow you to ask It's like in the movie Sweet Liberty - Alan Alda's character wrote a book about the American Revolution that Saul Rubinek's character was turning into a movie. Alan's book was (in the movie) historic and serious, but Saul's movie was a melodramatic romance. Alan was upset with the changes so he invoked the clause in his contract that said he must be consulted on story changes. Saul asks Alan his opinion then says, "There. You were consulted" and goes on with his crappy movie.
