Oscar-winning screenwriter Ben Affleck says that Hollywood won’t let him make a movie about the strife in the Democratic Republic of Condo, which is one of his passion causes. I wonder if Ben knows that big stars can make little important films outside of Hollywood. [Via Yahoo/AFP]

Democratic Republic of Condo? Are you serious?
Can’t he hook up with George Clooney? He makes the political films he wants to.
Dear Thinking Writer,
Please be careful. You indicate the potential location for Mr. Affleck’s film as the “Democratic Republic of Condo.”
Unless you are being humorous, I think you meant “Democratic Republic of Congo.”
Thanks
Careful Writer
