Re: A new TV show
Mr. D'Angelo,
I read your letter on the IntraNet, and I believe that I have the perfect TV show for the Gallimimus.
We could follow the life of a Gallimimus from infancy to adulthood through absurdist eyes. Imagine a cross between Voltaire's Candide and Cervantes' Quixote, a naïve ingenue whose rich internal life leads him into imagined combats with incredible monsters, who, in actuality, will be metaphors for various social injustices.
You'd need to hire some pretty talented writers, I think. People who can combine insight with play, a la Derrida.
I'm very excited, and I'm sure a man as brilliant as you can see the possibilities. Please let me know what you think.
