It would've helped if he hadn't made a huge deal about being so brave for doing it, making it overtly about him, and if his revelations had been less hypothetical and more actual. The only person he proved illegally accessed any of that information was himself.

I feel like the people who greenlight these things live in a very strange bubble, a small sub-bubble of the general Hollywood bubble, where these issues are actually being discussed at all by anybody instead of generally ignored even by the people who post the stories on Facebook.

No, because art direction isn't supposed to stand out, it is supposed to work in conjunction with the other things. You can't tell a story through art direction, you can only augment the story being told through storytelling devices.

It's not, but it's closer to what people expect/want from Gilliam, so a lot of people will like it more.

I can't believe two people thought that was a serious definition, but for the record, Damon is in two scenes and has less than five minutes of screentime, if you don't count times when his face is on a poster (my definition was quite ironic now that I've seen the movie).

"Clearly, you have not seen enough movies to claim Imaginariumas one of the worst."

I think it would've been messy, but one of two things happened:

"While the screenplay, written by first-timer Pat Rushin, wasn’t expressly intended for Gilliam"

I've never actually gone to a football game, but I imagine that football would be a lot more boring to watch live (because of what you say). But, on television, the long gaps are generally to its advantage, I think. People like a four hour show that they can sit around with their friends and watch the sporadic…

Talking about the president again, Bob? On Independence Day???

Miramax bought the rights to "Green Hornet" for him, and he eventually backed out, though his script was made into a comic book at some point.

They both have a similar (but coin-flipped) fatal flaw; M. Night shouldn't be a writer and Kevin Smith shouldn't be a director.

While I think that you are right in general, you probably couldn't pick a worse review to use as an example to prove your point and disprove theirs than this review.

I'd put money on "not even nominated" unless he has something coming out besides 'Gone Girl' (probably even then, but I don't want to assume)

The review is misleading — the ad was placed as a prank, but it was not specifically directed at Kevin Smith by fans or anybody else.

Seth Rogen… Sam Raimi… the writers for most sitcoms…

It isn't an illegal form. As he alluded to, there are federal laws regarding certain jobs requiring drug testing (working for a bank in any capacity, for one) which trump the state law.

The second movie makes one seemingly minor change to the book which actually completely changes the back-half (in a good way).

“I don't have an answer for him. I'm never going to call him out and lay him out in public. Sometimes you just don't get along.”

"I've basically learned that there's a massive preference for cinematography and avant garde style and a dislike of anything that seems at all traditional."
