Which Lie Did I Tell?

I've been reading William Goldman's Which Lie Did I Tell?, his second book of notes on screenwriting and anecdotes from the trade, and I'm realizing why I'm completely burned out on movies. Bill Polson, Phil and I had a discussion once about art direction, and how art direction is several generations into drawing on movies for inspiration, rather than drawing on life, that it's diverged completely from reality. Well, the same thing has happened with screenplay. And Goldman's completely cognizant of this (Which isn't a strike against him, just shows that he's intelligent and knows his market).
