It’s not contradictory -- she’s saying that nobody OUTSIDE the production needs to know the details, which is absolutely valid.  She’s also saying that the people INSIDE the production finally listened to the problems, which is also valid.

I live within walking distance of several Mission Impossible 2 filming locations. I love many John Woo films (The Killer, Hardboiled, Face/Off). We had a great party back in 1994 at the island the finale would be filmed at. Which is why it pains me to say MI2 was easily the worst of the bunch. MI3 is so forgettable…

There’s also the point that once he had it, Montalban totally killed in the role.

Beyond was pretty good, but they misstepped big time by burying Idris Elba under 50 pounds of prosthetics. Dumb Khan reveal or not, Into Darkness made a ton of money because Cumberbatch did a great “villain Sherlock” performance that the trailers could utilize.

There’s so much awful in that film. The two worst that stand out to me is the Enterprise falling out of orbit from the Moon to crash into the Earth because the engines turn off in the space of about four minutes, and taking one of the most iconic and moving scenes in all of Trek (Spock’s death), and doing a role-revers…

Wrath of Khan was probably my defining moment for Star Trek, this hitting those vibes so hard and so well is really nice.

I maintain that Into Darkness would be significantly better if Cumberbatch was exactly who he appeared to be in the beginning of the movie instead of turning out to be Khan. As soon as that reveal happens it all starts to fall apart.

I have a serious personal grudge against Generations because of how dirty they did Kirk. But yeah, Insurrection is maybe the worst example of “this should’ve been an episode.” I know people will say TMP, especially given that it’s based on what was originally going to be an episode of Phase II, but for all its flaws…

The whole trying to keep Khan a surprise twist was ridiculous. Cumberbatch is great, but Khan shouldn’t be a British white guy, Naveen Andrews would have killed that role. It’s an iconic, juicy villain role that actually calls for an Indian actor, and they get the whitest man on the planet to play him, still salty…

What is it about Hollywood these days, with it’s long production times? Back in the eighties, between 79 and 91, every two years (give or take), they managed to put out six movies. In the modern era? Not nearly that level of output (or frankly, quality).

I liked seasons 1-2 a lot more that most people. I appreciate that they didn’t immediately go back to the well with the whole TNG cast.

At least she is self-aware...

Keep watching the skis!

All movies have one of six types. In development, coming soon, released, charm, top, and bottom.

One thing I like about Gunn, he doesn't let shit fester.

Boyd Crowder would like to have five words where one would do. 

Raylan Givens would like to have a word

We have a moral duty to fight against all shows that try to normalize wearing cowboy hats.
