i am off tonight to help judge a young persons film competition. my qualifications - well i told george lucas on the set of star wars the film would not be a great success as sci fi had been dead as a cinema genre since the bwood made 2001 a decade earlier. then a few years later i was asked to show around the studio a young film maker from new zealand. i advised him to get away from new zealand or he would never make it. well peter jackson went on to make lord of the rings , etc won an oscar, became a multi millionaire and got a knighthood - he did not follow my advice :)
