True, but from a business perspective, most of the directors able to make a massive movie (Spielberg, Scott, Miller, Cameron) aren't getting any younger. And what happens then? The 90s guys didn't work out (Schumacher, McG, Ratner) so the studios have noticed that without Abrams or Nolan they're kind of in trouble.…

'It could really be anybody' - I see that argument, and yeah it's more of a shepherding process. Although the Marvel directors have often left a strong stamp on the material (Gunn, Whedon and even Branagh).

Respect yes, but I don't know that means she can make an exciting movie.
Admittedly I don't anything about her other than seeing Selma and hearing her name come up a lot. I just can't imagine anyone seeing Selma and thinking 'that's our gal!'.
Although I guess with the absolutely shameful lack of female directors of…

I want to see more movies directed by women, and I want to see more movies directed by minorities. Especially Star Wars or Marvel films.
But I don't know why Ava DuVernay is in the news all the time. Selma is….fine, but not much more, and the direction isn't in any way note-worthy. So I don't get it.

Imagine what he got away with on a network show, and this is now on Starz. Heavens to Betsy.

After what he did with Hannibal, I have full faith in Brian Fuller to do anything to any property. I love American Gods, and I'm more than happy for Fuller to mess around with it as much as he likes.

Suicide Squad is probably the only WB/DC movie which holds any interest for me, although that has waned as it's aiming for a PG-13. I thought Kingsman might remind studios that R-rated action movies can, and used to be, huge. Don't make a dark, violent movie PG-13 because then it appeals to no one.

In semi seriousness; i'm surrounded by film industry bods, and no one cares about the DC movies. The trailers elicit little more than resigned sighs. Whereas people do seem to give a modicum of a crap about the Marvel films.
So is that true in general or just industry? I have yet to find anyone who is really into the…

I had time speaking with a panel of WB department heads, and asked that question, or more generally what happens if BvS bombs, because they've based their slate around this being a success. Didn't get an answer, just sickened faces. Apparently that's not a question one asks.

Probably not, because it's not a Sony movie. I've been told similar good-ness by Warners execs though.

Everything looks better than King of Cups.

Very interested in Swiss Army Man, after hearing Daniel Radcliffe describing it on Nerdist (or WTF, I forget). Sounds like a Charlie Kauffman take on Weekend At Bernie's.

But I know how to deal with the results.
*softens butter*

Was going to say the same. I went in thinking it was going to be all-out-nuts but it's probably one of the best investigations into the sadness of fame.

Speaking as a Brit abroad, Thanksgiving is such a nice holiday. People seem to find people to spend a day just bring nice and having a good day full of food. No unwanted gifts, no month-long run-up. It's such a nicer holiday than Christmas. And also, of course, not utter bullshit.

My word, a video with both Michael C Jordan AND Ignatiy. What is a girl (boy) to do?

When my wishes were granted.
Hubba
and indeed
hubba.

Thank you, but no.

I did, mainly because it was Ed Solomon writing, and Teller as magic consultant.
It's not great, but then the ending is just utter dreck. Why make a movie about magic, when every trick is just clearly performed by a computer. I give up on everything.

True, although Teller (from Penn&) consulted on the first movie, which made me interested in it….and then every trick is just CGI so what's the point.
None.
No point.
