Even if he had the same cast, I don't think budgetary restraints are what motivated him to reshoot that scene.

In part yes, but no matter how much one studies illustration, they won't get any better unless they actually draw (a lot).

And developing artistic talent takes practice.

Cameron Crowe and Nancy Wilson stung.

Of course it was. Trump said he'll force the military to execute children.

"For whatever reason I got it in my head that it was going to be a not-as-good Goodfellas… As it turns out the movie was about drugs. "

Haha, no problem! It's a move I loved when it was first released and still admire for a lot of reasons, but as I've gotten older and become more aware of the problems in our culture dealing with toxic masculinity, the film's problems have become more and more apparent.

Great comment, although I'm personally wary of ascribing too much credence to the "director's medium"/"auteur theory" that has become so prevalent in criticism. Collaboration is key, and I think with a small film like this that where the intentions of each part (director, writer, director) are so clear, I think it…

The film is not nearly as subversive as it thinks it is. It supposedly pulls out the rug from under the "manic pixie dream girl" trope, but instead it just continues to reinforce it, albeit in a more insidious and subtle manner.

… So then you're saying people WERE interested in Avatar. Because that's what you just described.

"movies people are interested in… not Avatar."

The comment still feels applicable— there's undoubtedly greatness there, but I think all three of the episodes you mention still have some of the same formative growing pains of those early eps (perhaps most obviously that they're slowly paced and entirely focused on a single A story, a major contrast to the…

I disagree; early-Seinfeld Kramer was a run-of-the-mill wacky/dumb neighbor, and admittedly late-period Kramer tended to lean too heavily on the slapstick, but those middle years really built an oddly complex character with all sorts of fascinating and hilarious specificity to his personality. He was built to work in…

John Lennon had two children, and you think THAT'S the biggest tragedy?

I think the more streamlined costume and less square-jawline definitely play a part.

"Serafinowicz is indeed too normal sized"

"Straightforward in practically shouting he's a monster"

So they decided the "emotional through-line" of the film is a battle against two lifeless villains made of bargain-bin CGI, rather than the story of a psychologically damaged woman finally overcoming her dark past by rejecting her abuser.

I think "Night of the Doctor" is better than "Day of the Doctor."
