Eh, the only real factor there is whether or not it is a detriment to the work. In Allen's case, most people who go down the path of 'it's wish fulfilment' are only reinforcing their own biases.

It wasn't sympathetic to him in the slightest.

Whoops, responded to the wrong post. My bad Corleone!

It's no secret he isn't in the finest form of his career. That's passed him, and that's okay. It happens to some directors. There's a massive difference between creative limitations and repeating a similar story…Allen, in the best parts of his career was a hugely creative director. That he's happy to go on creating…

And it's always been pointless and largely meaningless criticism.

Every critic brings in subjective criticism, but I at least expect it to be based around the art itself and it's craft. If, as a reviewer you can't separate his personal life from the merits of the work, then you're a useless reviewer.
I was saying the reviewer has an issue with his biases in that they affect his…

"While there’s an almost inherent frothiness in any film about the capriciousness of attraction, it’s tough to avoid the autobiographical echo in this love triangle, a resonance that gives Magic In The Moonlight an off-putting, solipsistic air"

She certainly wasn't the best poet, but she was a good lady and I'm sure will be quite missed. Condolences to her family, friends and fans.

I'm sure he's devastated.

"Foreign Correspondent": Oh boy. What a great film! I don't think there's ever been so good a director as Hitchock at being both technically brilliant, but also just pure, unabashed fun. Everything about this film is fantastic and it looks gorgeous on blu ray. Great cast, especially George Sanders as Ffoliett (forgot…

Yeah, look, she's awful.

Is it as terrible as the rest of his art?

I don't know about that. I've been re-watching the series with my girlfriend because she hasn't seen it before and I've come to appreciate how truly good this show is for the most part. Not only that, but just how ahead of its time and experimental it tried to be (despite being tied to a major tv network). Even some…

He should stop.

No. No he didn't.

Ah fuck this 'it's a comfort to still know it's on' bullshit. I can't wait for it to end. It's been poor for 14 years. It's sad to know there is now more bad stuff than there is good stuff. The more bad stuff there is, the less the good stuff might get shown to future generations.

I really hope Gibson can get back into directing. He's a talented director with a lot to offer.

None of which was implied in his post.

The 'Noah' story is no different to any other form of mythological or religious story/folktale/myth/etc, so why would there be an issue making a movie out of it, and say, not a mythological tale from Homer? Or from Ovid? Or from Beouwulf? Or a section from any of the King Arthur tales? Character, setting, theme and so…
