Note: he *co*-wrote Toy Story & Alien: Resurrection.  Toy Story he had *3*
other screenplay writers, and 4 story writers (one falls in both
categories).  You should read up sometime on how writing credits get handed
out...

And he doesn't seem to think much of Alien: Ressurection:
    "The episode of Boy Meets World that I never made, I'm still prouder of
than Alien: Resurrection."
Nor is the Buffy movie much of what he wrote for it:
    "About an hour into the movie, I just started to cry."
