Billy Ray Genius or Moron?

Actual Billy Ray may differ from the above-pictured item

I'm gonna go with the latter. I was just reading up on Mr. Ray (SEE PREVIOUS POST), and unfortunately he is not the singer/songwriter/all-around entertainer behind the country hit "Achy Breaky Heart." Rather, he is a prolific hollywood screenwriter. Billy is the man who penned Volcano, that movie about a dormant volcano underneath the city of Los Angeles, which erupts leaving the city to be defended by Tommy Lee Jones, an intrepid fire chief (or fireman, maybe fire inspector, I don't know somethin to do with fire). Needless to say this movie sucked ASS!

Mr. Ray also brought us Color of Night, the sexy, sultry thriller starring Bruce Willis as a house-sitting psychiatrist and Jane somebody or other as Bruce's pyscho love-interest. This movie is in high rotation on "late-night" cable movie outlets like Cinemax (aka skinamax or even porno-max as we called it in college). Anyway, its another seriously baaaaad movie.

So it is no wonder that Mr. Billy Ray helped to bring us Flightplan (just noticed some other dude is credited as a co-writer...can't believe it took 2 dumbasses to write this movie).
