I need a script

I know that no one in Hollywood has any new ideas and has to only create movies based on books and short stories. But now I have heard that they are making a movie based on Moneyball. Okay, it was a very interesting book, but how can you make a movie about it. There is little story to it, pretty much just facts and figures. To me it would be just like making a movie about your algebra text book. (It could be a heartbreaking story about the love triangle between multiplication, division, and derivatives. Addition could play the town drunk adding comic relief.)

Now I have also hear that Brad Pitt is going to play the lead role, Billie Beane. Pitt is a good actor, but the problem with this is that it will now get the hype "a lockbuster movie." All these lonely housewives will go see it because Pitt is in it and will expect a love story or some action. They will be sorely disappointed when it is about the numbers behind running a successful major league baseball organization.

However this clip of Radiohead on the Grammys is pretty bad a**. I think it would be cool if they actually went and toured with a marching band. It's never been done before, but is cool to hear the bands crazy sounds performed on simple instruments.
