It all worked out okay, because Blade Runner 2049 and Alien: Covenant are both good

He did The Martian, All the Money in the World...

The insistence that the director is the author of any film they didn’t write, at the very least, is absurd.

We’ve been tongue bathing Scott for decades based largely on two landmark films that were the epitome of collaborative film making.

You know in Trainspotting when Renton and Sick Boy are having the conversation about great artists who have it but then lose it? I feel like Ridley Scott could easily fit into that category. While his films are still great on a technical level, I don’t think anything touches golden era Scott. He arguably peaked with Gl…

Pretty sure the result of this alternative timeline would have meant that both movies would have sucked instead of just Covenant, so I can’t share the sentiment.

Yeah, I totally get hating Snyder’s weird toxic fanbase, but he personally doesn’t deserve the extreme snark and hate that most AVC articles and 90% of commenters provide. He’s a visually interesting filmmaker whose storytelling style is stilted and divisive, but who treats his cast and crew with extreme respect and…

I liked the Snyder cut of Justice League. It felt like the final culmination of everything he’d been trying to do with the DCU, for better or worse, and I appreciated how idiosyncratic and earnest it felt.

You don’t see pressuring a subordinate to physically engage with a nude dancer at a strip club as something that might qualify as sexual harassment?  Lord, I wish I could get you on my juries.

Just going from this article, Lizzo and her team sound like a fairly disorganized, unprofessional group of people. I’ve never worked in the entertainment industry, but I get the impression that work/social activities overlap a great deal and that’s going to lead to problems. I’m sure it goes on all the time with…

This feels especially egregious given that his current show is about pro wrestling, which is notoriously anti-labor.

I look forward to him outlining what the alternative was other than letting studios own your image forever while keeping your residuals to themselves. Because it’s not like there weren’t months of negotiations and the studios basically saying “nope.”

Turns out it's kind of difficult to produce a satisfying conclusion while simultaneously attempting to systematically dismantle the previous movie. And also you're J.J. Abrams and literally have no idea how to end anything. 

lol. I mean, sure. I can see how for him TLJ didn’t give him much to do. But The Rise of Skywalker actually provoked a genuine emotional reaction in me. Where I just left TLJ cold and indifferent, I was actually insulted by how stupid J.J. Abrams thought his audiences were. It is an incoherent story that tries to tie…

If we’re going to be “real” we have no idea what changes Ortega made and if they actually were improvements. Oh, and while we’re being “real” this was a couple of comedy writers making jokes. It’s a clickbait nothing burger.

It’s very unprofessional to publicly insult your co-workers. Especially in an ongoing project like a TV show. She could have taken credit for protecting the character and doing punch ups on the material without putting down the writing, as lots of other actors do.

Her comments were actively harmful to the WGA cause (highly visible star says writers were worthless and she had to ignore their work) so I think she can take a few mild jokes in return if it helps their cause now in any way. (Which it won’t, not to the degree I’m sure her comments hurt. There’s no way execs aren’t…

“Jenna Ortega rewrote their horrible scripts which I will never read or see onscreen, so who cares?!”

I think the bigger issue here though is writers, good or bad, will probably start to take a defensive attitude with her.
It’s like how Katherine Heigl ruined her momentum by calling the production and cast of Knocked Up as morons, well, those morons are now in everything from independent productions to Marvel films…
