We are kindred souls, and I love this: "Three to six months on a bad movie -- or even nine months in the soul-crushing factory of episodic television -- is still better than taking a life sentence on the Cube Farm." My own explanation as to why we do this job we seem to complain so much about comes from "The Misfits." When Eli Wallach is asked why cowboys do what they do if the money and conditions are so bad, he replies "It's better than wages." You either get that phrase or you don't, but I love your "life sentence on the Cube Farm."
