You pick Jaws instead of something like Final Destination?

Great TV writing doesn't necessarily translate into great screenwriting, just like being a great novelist doesn't mean you can be a great screenwriter. They're two different mediums with different requirements.

If Warners is doing Young Jim Gordon, they should also consider doing The World of Krypton as a series or feature. I remember that limited series from the 80s (?). I know, I'm dating myself. But it's a great avenue to creating a new franchise.

I liked this movie, too, but I can't help but think it's the Cliff Notes version of the original (and probably the book, which I haven't read). Also, while I think Clooney was pretty good in it, I always wonder how much better this movie would have been if Daniel Day Lewis hadn't passed on the role.

This is being remade by Timur B., btw.

Not really genre, but I agree: it's a hundred times better than the original, which I found to be horribly dated.

First 10 minutes were actually pretty great, but then they get to the mall, and just when it should get really good, it became clear that all the social commentary of the original was thrown out for the sake of sensationalism, a precursor of things to come.

That's not saying much, is it?

Phil Kaufmann's remake of Body Snatchers is superior to any version by light years. (sorry can't post a picture from my phone)

this is actually my least favorite Nolan; I much preferred the original.

Make that IMAX 3D.

I thought it was.the only good scene in the movie.

That Batman movie was so wrong in so many departments, I actually think Clooney was one of the least terrible things about it. If anything, Clooney now could make a pretty good grizzled and embittered Batman, judging from his performance in The American.

Good movie, but unfortunately it unleashed Simon Kinberg on the world.

I wonder how much of the rapturous response to "Gravity" being a game changer is affecting Nolan's movie? I mean, after this, it'll be hard for any director to just go back to doing a serious space movie the conventional way again.

He was great in Michael Clayton, Up in the Air, The Descendants, and The American. I didn't even include Out of Sight. That's a pretty great resume there.

Is the "surprise guest" really a surprise since I've read who it is in other media outlets?

Or this:
