It’s always “weaving” stories in these things. I want a new metaphor. “This writer spot-welds powerful narratives...”

The first one was entertaining if a bit forgettable, the second one was bad. Neither set the box office on fire. It’s mystifying how more of these are being approved at the studio level. I guess they are fairly cheap to make though(the second one only had a budget of $28M) so it’s not a huge risk.

My issue with many M. Night films is that many of the trailers for his films tend to be better than the entire movie. The trailer for After Earth was fantastic. It was suspenseful and made me eager to see it in its entirety. Then I saw it, and the few moments of compelling action and suspense were bogged down with…

True, but they’d still hold the copyright on it.

I used to fuck lawsuits like this in prison.

ok let’s do it...

Brie Larson, Alison Brie, Benedict Camembert, so many fromages.
