This is why films are so bad.


Are you seriously telling me that the writer of Movie 43 is capable of directing anything? These dudebros are yes men that serve as figureheads for Disney to just do what they want, hence why the films are so godawful. Same thing happened with The Last Jedi, so if this guy's career is over, there's no loss.

Bloody hell, I thought that DCEUfanatic guy was annoying!!! But you're just a different level. Have you ever watched a movie that you liked?

reply

He likes Sleeping Beauty, the original Blade Runner and hates 2049, which is on point. But then endlessly criticises Christopher Nolan, who unlike anyone else in Hollywood today consistently makes great entertaining films, so I'm torn.

reply

I like many films, the last one I liked was Mary Of Scotland from 1936.

Which you saw opening weekend.

I'm 35.

He was one of many involved in the severely underrated Movie 43. He didn't write the whole thing. It's a movie of skits written and directed by various people and I bet money you haven't seen it.

reply

I couldn’t get past the opening scene of movie 43 with Jackman and Winslet. Not my kind of humor. I loved the first Guardians, Slither and Super though.

reply

Unlike most Marvel movies, Guardians is really good though.

reply

seriously doubt that.

reply

You are right to doubt that, the Captain Americas are the most palatable. Then again I'm the guy who prefers Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy to the entire MCU.

reply

well I literally had to walk out of Captain America Civil War, it was so awful.

reply

Why did you go see it in the first place?

reply

I was bored.

reply

If that's a reason to go see Civil War....I suspect 50% of it's box office are people who spent time talking to you.

reply

I don't know what you mean.

reply

shocker

reply

I don't see what this is supposed to mean. I love the Raimi trilogy and think Cap America is terrible.

They're nothing alike other than being superhero movies.

reply

They're still superhero movies like you said, and they're the only Marvel ones I truly appreciate.

Superhero films are very alike when you've seen so many.

reply

Watch the first one, it is good. I fell asleep through the first Captain America and never cared to finish it.
