I'm not one of those people who has undying belief in the ability of directors, actors, and writers. Look, nobody in history has been more prolific cranking out hits than Paul McCartney, but he's not writing another "Yesterday" ever again. That ship has sailed.

The Missing Persons Theory states that if we haven't heard from the director who makes really cool movies in seven years (by which we mean, if you've made repulsive crap for seven years or more), your career is officially dead. And I think your wife can re-marry.
Who would this affect? Oh, a great many people. De Palma, Coppola,
