Cameo meaning he's famous and not on the poster.

I don't think it was recut for the US. At this point, for better or wose, Gilliam's distributors don't have the money to demand additional cuts.

Imaginarium is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, but you have to give him some kind of mulligan, he had to pull it together from an almost cancelled shoot and re-write the script before the lead actor's corpse was cold.

Is that true?

The ending line of the original first draft was
"Forget it, Jake. It's just Chinatown. Metaphorically, that is, obviously we're not actually *in* Chinatown. But it's like back when you were. You know what I mean?"

You'd think it couldn't get less subtle, and then William Holden actually says to her "You are television incarnate."

Tarantino nailed exactly what's wrong with that movie, and it sure ain't the ending. The middle goes waaaay too long and splits them up for no reason and there is at least one too many villains, but the ending is great and I really wish I'd seen it on a bigscreen.

I think that a big difference in the comparison is that Captain America is a war/action movie, Thor is a fantasy/action movie, Guardians is a sci-fi/action movie, and Iron Man is basically just a goofy action romp. They're very distinct types of movie.

I doubt it. If he had tons of ideas for Ghostbusters stories, he could write them as Ghostbusters knock-offs and set them up at a studio that have the contractual possibility of actually making one or more of them.

As an audience member, Lynch can get away with a lot in my book because he can be so funny at random. He knows how to off-set the rest of the stuff.

Don't watch either one but especially Eraserhead on Christmas morning.

I tend to stick movies like that out, because I think "What if I hear something awesome after I left, then I have to start over to get the proper build to that moment." (Kind of an OCD thing, I guess.) But at a certain point, I really thought about leaving, but I had been through so much movie I just figured, "Eh,…

"Let's fly the joint back to earth!"
"How is that going to work? That doesn't even make sense."
"Um, Richard… I think our fans would really want to see us fly this joint back to earth, man."

It would be kind of amazing to do two-thirds or three-quarters of a "slobs vs. snobs" type comedy, and then just have one of the nerds absolutely snap and blow up the homecoming game or something.

To be fair, that could be an error in the film being faithfully recreated.

Watchmen isn't Moore's property; that's kind of a major component to his overall beef with DC. Also, he didn't "publicly disown" him; Gibbons brought it up in public, people asked Moore about it, and he explained it. He never brought it up himself.

You wrote a million words and didn't bother to come up with your own title?

"and the parallels to what's happening in the comic much more clear."

I am not knocking the chapter or the writing, but I have difficulty with the idea that anybody who had ever written anything for the public (let alone started out having to actually pick his words carefully for five-page stories in 2000 AD) wouldn't know what effect that would have on readers. He does that trick…

His reaction to that was so childish. It was basically "I do not always write about rape, and even if I do, rape happens, so what do you want to do, censor me?"
