Yeah, I saw him do it in Edinburgh and basically it's worthy but, importantly for a comedy show, not very funny.

Creative differences can be code for anything. What is probably going on is that Wright wanted more time and Marvel, being so beholden now to the corporate culture of the fiscal calendar and ancillary revenue projections, said no. He gave them an ultimatum, and they moved on.

I expect he was writing and trying to get more of his own stuff off the ground in an environment where it is probably quite difficult to raise the necessary money to meet his vision.

The studio that's making it is Whedon's. I don't love everything he has done, but there is a certain base level of quality to his work that makes me think there is no way it is so bad everyone has decided to bury it, and even if that were the case, taking it to Tribeca first wouldn't be the way to do it.

Sublime, really, you're going with sublime?

He doesn't have a mixed reputation at all, he just never made it big before he left - did some excellent alternative TV and radio stuff, but in mainstream terms was a 'best week ever'-type talking head comedian. He has no reason to come back as he has a great career and a yankee wife.

I don't really agree with that last statement, FF, Secret Warriors and his indy work have had a lot of emotional stuff going on, even if it hasn't worked (Red Wing is a father son story that really does aim to be personally affecting, but fails due to issues of comprehensibility not intention) but Infinity is

Basically Doug didn't used to reverse the order after each round, then realised that in 3 person games people would get boxed out.

I don't mind Rogen's laugh (its no Gervais), but in an audio-format with multiple guests, it is really problematic when he laughs at everything single thing. Which is exacerbated by the fact he never seems to move the microphone away from his face.

It was amazing, I thought the episode was comfortably the worst of the 'Gally' series, but I must have replayed that song half a dozen times.

Me too, someone said something like "I wouldn't get too attached to Robb either", when someone else was wondering about protagonists to root for going forward.

Wad VanDerTurf I do agree that the biggest flaws are largely because of the structural impediments, but at the same time, the people making the thing have to ask themselves if they should have reigned the thing back somewhat. Though, in addition, the editing is something Hurwitz could control that he let slip, and

Following on from Hurwitz's interview from here, if we ever get one, it is going to really interesting to see what a chronological cut of this would look like.

He was excellent in the role though, if he is still acting in 10 years or so I think he has the the talent to get a lot of supporting work.

The weird thing with Portia's surgery compared to Christine Taylor, is that back in Sally's Season 2 appearances she looked unfortunately over tanned and taught, but looked good here.

Nothing Johns has ever done is as good as USM or Powers. Bendis definitely spreads himself too thin, and his singular voice is a massive flaw, but he's much better than Johns, whose stuff is bad far more often.

Besser's fans phonecalls on I4H are the absolute worst, not least because he is nowhere near as smart as he thinks he is.

While it can go too far in one way, getting rid of the original flashback structure was absolutely the right decision at the time, for almost a full year half of each episode was fairly terrible.

I don't think Holmes is nice though, he's affable sure, but he also appears to be a super ambitious, self-focused and clique-y person, who is a mess of artistic contradictions. But I suppose when Cook is the comparison it's all relative.

Hollander is brilliant. I think the first time I properly noticed him was his scene in John Adams, which was remarkable.
