I suspect they mistakenly believe they don’t have to pay writers for these.

He is completely incapable of describing his vision. It explains a lot. Read those quotes. It sounds like a teenager talking. 

Well, Fistful of Dollars is a ripoff of Yojimbo, but Yojimbo was a ripoff of Dashiell Hammett’s Red Harvest. It’s a rich tapestry of artful plagiar— uh, homage.

Army of the Dead wasnt particularly coloroful to my memory, or to a quick google search.

‘Of course it’s a space opera, but let’s not lens it that way.’

Star Wars is just a whole different Akira Kurosawa (The Hidden Fortress) but in space already.

It’ll be fun to see how much he pads the runtime of this one with his overused ultra-slow-motion photography.

You have to almost admire his pluck in trying to convince people that his ideas are 100% New and Different when they clearly are mostly neither.

I mean, Seven Samurai + Star Wars is just Battle Beyond the Stars, isn’t it?

I’ll take “What if Star Wars was all a drab grey brown color pallate for 2000, Alex!”

Weirdly enough, I sometimes think Snyder would be the right guy to pull off a Hyperion movie. (And not just because the author is Frank Miller levels of right-wing flakey.)

The way I understand it, the math doesn’t really work if you just do it for tax write offs. The real savings is in not paying residuals. It isn’t much per person or per show, but it adds up over time.

On the Distraction podcast (from Defector) with Adam Conover as guest where he goes into it. Michael Schur was on a few weeks before, but the sentiment is the same. The people in charge now, the investor class, don’t give a shit about the product. They care about maximizing revenues and profits. These aren’t movie/TV…

This doesn’t make a lick of sense to me. Shows like Little Demon and Willow were heavily marketed by Hulu and Disney+. Pulling them from the service less than a year after they aired just seems like throwing money away.

1. The green screen looked like shit. Hard to infer if any of that scene had “real” physicality.

Agreed. I wanted to be excited, but that was not a nice looking or well edited sequence. 

I’m looking forward to it but to be completely honest, some of those green screen shots are Toonces quality lol

Bailey Bass is in Avatar 3 and 4. I suspect the filming schedule for Avatar 4 is a big part of that.

One of my favorite movies. Love this scene in particular:

Ah, yes... Time... the original VFX.
