What's wrong with Estzerhas?

Everything he writes is about lust and love triangles and betrayals?

Can't he write something different and new?

@Mahmoud: I know folks get sick of hearing it, but Hollywood operates on this principle:

"Similar but different."

There is no greater example of this than Eszterhas in which you could argue that Basic Instinct, Jagged Edge, Music Box, Sliver and Jade are all variations on the same dynamic: Is s/he or isn't s/he guilty?
