"And indeed, the burden of Cassandra's "gift" is evident in mythology. She predicted the outcome of many disastrous events. In one memorable example, Cassandra announced the dire consequences of the Trojans accepting the infamous Wooden Horse from their Greek opponents. But as Apollo made certain, no one believed Cassandra when she warned her companions about the future. And this, in the end, was to be Cassandra's tragic fate."
A Hollywood that's ashamed of one of its few universally acknowledged genuine artistic achievements [the Looney Tunes cartoons] is hardly likely to come up with any new artistic achievements.
