Or just say no if they don't offer you a serious budget for your work. You can keep letting companies and employers decide for you, or you can try and change the environment for freelancers for the better by deciding for yourself what you are worth. It doesn't do anyone any good to simply accept whatever they're…

Jeremy Irons, which is probably the most hilarious thing about this 'trailer'.

I guess I should buy the dvd sometime, or ask my mother to mail me the book with Gilliam interviews I still have in a box somewhere inher attic, but I never thought that the presence of the scientist at the end of the film meant that Cole wasn't stuck in a timeloop. The virus will still kill most people, Etc, etc,…

Agreed, which is at this point the only reason I'm cautiously optimistic that this whole thing could work.

But how? Twelve Monkeys is such an intricate piece of work; circling back on itself, the Vertigo references and the constant question of whether or not Cole is right or not. It's going to be hard to spin that into a tv series without it losing the heady atmosphere that is such a large part of the film's appeal. Not to…

How about: here are some very competent sketches?

I can't tell if I should be disappointment or not. I always thought District 9 was a bit overrated, as Blomkamp seemed to be a bit more interested in blowing people up with weird hardware than telling a story. So perhaps him not even pretending to tell a coherent story, or making a point, is better than just…

Neil Blomkamp has every right to whatever artistic vision he has for the future of Elysium, but does anyone else get the impression that he's slightly too sure of himself as a futurist? He seems to talk about that slummy, ruined, mankind united in squalor future as though it's a certainty that's the way we're going to…

Yes! Brazil, is simply one of the best films in this ball park. Period.
It's weirdly not that different from Robocop in that it satirises the eighties a lot.
Though Gilliam does it through a whole different lens than Verhoeven.
It's also one of the few films I think where the real villain is bureaucratic…

While it does seem to have been weirdly influential on the real world, it's just not a very good movie. It's a film with good intentions and a rather good cast, but to me the whole point it's trying to make is, kind of, obvious.
It kind of reeks of Bush-era liberal panic, and I don't think it will have quite the…

Honestly, I don't know. Capaldi might be just the Doctor the show needs at the moment. With its 50th anniversary coming up, a, shall we say, more traditional Doctor could be a good jumping off point for theshow's future. At the very least it's a change from the very young Matt Smith.

I for one am already rooting for Chris Pratt and Michael Rooker to win best kiss at the MTV movie awards.

Who knows, maybe he's as big a fan of Star Wars as Abrams.

I'd say that they can try to say something relevant about drones until they actually succeed. So far the attempts have been pretty banal.

Oh I thought it exposed him for a hack with a good sense of style.

As a children's book illustrator I've always tried to include more than just white people in my work, whenever it was possible. Though frankly I prefer drawing anthropomorphic animals over people as they're more fun, and you don't have to worry so much about getting the hands and faces right.
But I think that in…

Hurray! I've been looking forward to this for ages! It's certainly not a very polished trailer, but it looks pretty promising. Stylistically it looks like a continuation of Parnassus with the bright colours and stylised cg vistas. It's certainly a far cry from the drab, handmade world of Brazil.

Really? I know that a couple of years ago Gilliam tried to make it with Billy Bob Thornton.

Yep, that's exactly it. The first clue was his appearance on this show a couple of years ago.

You don't think that superhero films aren't headed in the same direction? It might take a few years but we'll get there eventually.
