Oh, I don't underestimate the strike, at all. I get it. That said, there's a whole army of professional storytellers involved in a $200,000,000 movie. Producers, up and down the ranks, can 'suggest' script changes. They can quietly shepherd a thing to competence. Good directors can practically put "saving movies by…

True. But Batman facing off against the Riddler was also good in concept. Again, my Schumacher comparison.
Sean Connery had 3 "great" bond movies - From Russia w Love, Goldfinger, and…ok, two great bond movies, plus a fistful of pretty good ones. I'm still a sucker for volcanic lairs.
And in two weeks, republican members of congress will be referencing this thing in defense of Trump's Mexican wall.
I think your expected angry mormon fight is coming, same time, same channel.
The only way to get through much of the 19th century, to be sure.
Actually, I liked Star Trek and ST:Beyond a lot. I only hate (and hate with a burning passion) Into Darkness. Only part of that hate is directly related to how they fumbled what they thought was a huge nod to the fans ("OMG! And instead of Spock dying in the chamber it'll be KIRK! And SPOCK will yell 'KHAAAAN!' OMG…
Which is probably very much WHY you enjoyed Into Darkness. JJ and his team made some choices that, to the uninitiated, may have worked ok, but to the fan base were bad, bad choices. All the good will built up by the success of his reboot simply evaporated.
I'm still perplexed by the BO take for Star trek: Beyond. In truth, I wasn't expecting much - I'd all but given up on this iteration, but the buzz was good, the press was positive and the movie, itself was cheerful and very much something like Star Trek.
Trump was preemptively elected. This is the New Journalism. Welcome home.
Odo and Dr. Bashir hire out a Dabo Girl for the night. I mean, it gets cold in space. Where's the story here?
Clearly, I have no sense of humor. Or rather, I have 11/40th of one somewhere.
Only if one of those other two guys can write "Something," "Here Comes The Sun," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and introduces western pop music to the sitar.
Coke-fueled rage was the primary driver for every project you listed. Xanadu was pure, repressed anger filtered thru mountains of powdery white.
Somehow, with all the money in the world (apparently) riding on the success of these kinds of pictures, the moguls keep throwing up proven idiots to move their franchises forward. One quick viewing of ANY old Zack Snyder film should have excluded him from being allowed in the designated zip code in which the plans…
God's Not Dead: He's Running Away With the Republican Nomination
Zack, Zack, ZackZackZack,
Ok, except Bravo and maybe The Learning Channel, which at the time were running things like Kenneth Branagh in Ibsen's Ghosts and an special on groundbreaking gene allele research, respectively.
I am reminded by this show that everything '90's on basic cable is why I was didn't get cable until I lived with other people who demanded it. Northern Exposure and Homicide. The rest of television was, at the time, a vast mindless void (special exemption given to Star trek: TNG).
