I knew I was going to get into trouble with "the big
studios". I was already tired writing that message. The
phrase "big studios" is obsolete and means nothing nowadays.
It's just catchy and I didn't feel like thinking a different
way to put it. But I still can't believe that the Stallone
"Get Carter" comes close to, say, "The Big Lebowski" or
"Twilight" or "Jackie Brown"! Does it?
