I’m honestly sad to hear he’s stepped down.

Also given how his new records almost always get Grammy noms, it’s surprising that this one didn’t. (His Frank Sinatra cover albums got nominated for Grammys, and you’d be hard placed to find anyone who ranked them with the best of his work. Meanwhile this album was talked about as an outside contender for an album of…

Actually Warner Bros do appear to own the film and video-game rights to the Franchise and have trademarks on the Harry Potter brand and a joint trademark with Rowling on ‘JK Rowling’s Wizarding World.’

Im definetly not suggesting that Sophia Crawfords work was negligible, as I said just about everytime they cut to a wide shot it is very clear that it’s not SMG doing the stunt work. I’m not arguing SMG did most of her own stunts, she clearly didnt. I just said Jeff Pruitt went to far in the other direction suggesting…

The other side of this is Pruitt seemed to really dimish the stunt work that SMG did do. In interviews hes said she barely did anything, made fun of how she runs and questioned if she had ever had martial arts training like she claimed.

Him being a hypocrite, doesn’t necessarily invalidate his points. (And with Watchmen and his early work, I do think he’s entitled to have a different opinion 30 years later based on his experiences making those works given peoples views don’t remain stagnant.)

I don’t?
Just looking at Marvel the narrative threads between the films aren’t exactly these intricate pieces that are difficult to follow?
The films are essentially stand-alone, with each film giving you the information it needs to enjoy it without being confused and most of the connected aspects acting as easter-eggs…

I agree, I enjoy the work. To clarify my issue is more when you seem to have people that refuses to acknowledge the adolescent aspect of the characters/ works.

He said he tried watching a few of them, and they just weren’t what he was interested in. Which I think is fair enough.
And I agree with his ‘not cinema’ point, and feel it comes down to what you consider cinema. Because to me there is a difference between ‘cinema’ and ‘movies.’ Not all movies are going to be cinema.

I don’t think superheroes are inherently infantile- but I do think there’s something inherently adolescent about them. By their very nature they’re built on the idea of good vs evil where the hero puts on a costume then goes off to fight the villain.

Eh, as someone who has watched most of the recent comic book movie output I don’t think anything he’s is wrong...or that he would suddenly change his mind by watching the films.
He can talk about the impact the films have had on pop-culture without having watched them, because it’s quite clear with all the focus on…

Except Scorsese’s point wasn’t that they were ‘bad’, more that they were fine as entertainment but as they’d become the dominant force in film studios were becoming more conservative in making non-franchise films that were more character based.

Seeing as Casino Royale and Skyfall are generally considered to be modern classics, I’d say that the Craig era has already surpassed that mark of being ‘half as good as the Dark Knight trilogy.’

The forgiveness came years before he made the first Avengers film, back when he was known as ‘that guy who did Buffy and those other shows that got cancelled’, so I’m inclined to believe the forgiveness was genuine on her part.

The other thing with the Charisma Carpenter situation I think is worth noting, is that she did forgive him for what happened and has said she’d want to work with him again.

What’s peculiar about that ‘gag’ is the way Whedon tells the story, the shot in Ultron came about from Mark Ruffalo in rehearsals. (And Scarlett seemed to be onboard with this shot.)
So I don’t understand, if he didn’t even come up with the gag, why was he so keen to use it again?

To me I guess, it kinda ties into if the band are still active creatively (and that can be messy.)

Just gotta give abit of an RTD defence, as I feel he delivered a classic more than occasionally!

I’m not expecting there to be another season, but I’d faith that if it did happen it would be amazing.

It’s a general rule, but if you’re at nearly half that measurement (1 page = 2 mins screen time) it’s probably a good guide that your script is too sparse in places, and the pacing is going to be off in the final product.
