Excellent so far. The conflict is set up very well in the opening courtroom scene. McClory's character is well-rounded and very believable, supported by a cast of plausible minor characters and great dialogue. Very promising excerpt indeed.

Brilliant. We are in dire need to examine the absolutely atrocious, soulless, diabolic way movies are made. McClory is the kind of everyman who has been destroyed by Hollywood since the days of Charlie Chaplin. Now with AI Slop ruling the internet, we need to examine how we got here.
