Dog shit novelist extraordinare. All his stories are about
terrorist or communists getting their asses whomped by the "free", democratic western countries. Even though his stories are generic and boorish, they do make for mildly entertaining movies (Hunt For Red
October), and pretty decent videogames (Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, etc).
Even though his stories are mostly shit. His success is quite high. His obscene crap-to-
money ratio amazes
us all. So Tom Clancy, for that, I salute you.
In fact. One man (Maddox) proved once and for all that anyone can make a storyline which equals anything Clancy can write. Don't believe me? Just check it out under "Five shitty movies that everybody loves" at
www.thebestpageintheuniverse.com, at the
bottom of the page is the "Tom Clancy Plot Generator", using this, I have created a plot just as good as anything Tom Clancy could make:..
Communists devise a scheme to take over a generic industrial compound for ransom under the watchful eye of corrupt German officials (played by Americans with fake German accents). The plot twists when the Communists threaten to blow up the White
House even after their demands are met. Millions of lives are at stake unless a rookie
CIA agent eager to prove his worth can overcome his brooding self-doubt and
stop the Communists once and for all. The movie ends with a mildly comical and/or
ironic scene in which the Communists blow up or go to
prison. Another satisfying tale of political intrigue and personal redemption closes, and we all walk away from this movie a little wiser.
