Some people have too much time on their hands. [Pots and kettles? - everyone]

Take this, for instance. An academic from London lecturing in screenwriting has come up with the formula for the perfect hit movie from watching blockbusters all day. She says that the recipe for a sucessful hit screenplay is:

30% Action
17% Comedy
13% Good v Evil conflict
12% Romance/sex
10% Special Effects
10% Plot Development
and 8% Music

And apparently the movie that most closely adheres to this formula is.....

"Toy Story 2".
