"I'm not saying [x] is a bad writer, but [x] doesn't really have any writing credits." was probably said about every successful writer at the start of their career.

It's their most popular franchise, and each sequel has been better than the last. And the guaranteed money they get from sure-fire hits like this (and Cars 2) allows them to take risks on other projects.

When mental illness causes someone to commit murder, people expect an execution, not medical treatment. When someone molests a child because of psychological compulsions they can't control, we say "Cut his dick off! Throw him in jail!" rather than "Get him help to treat his sickness!" There are many sicknesses that…

The fight between humans and orcs in LOTR is an allegory for the battle between the superior Aryan Europeans and the dark savages from Africa and the east. So, yeah, the morality is questionable.

Couldn't spell Aisha, so he named his daughter North.

Riiiight… and "The Room" was actually a savvy and intelligent commentary on modern film-making in the post-9/11 era.

I have even less respect for her now.

Technically, "Shawshank Redemption" was based on a novella. *adjusts nerd glasses* And if we're including novellas, I think you have to put Stand By Me in that list at #3 or #4.

How does he feel about "227"?

He's just bitter because he hated Kubrick's adaptation and can't stand the fact that it's now considered a classic horror film, while his "authentic" made-for-TV version was a classic of unintentional comedy.
