    Unless he gets hired as a security guard, Michael Bay needs to be banned from going anywhere near a movie studio. Bryan Singer doesn't need to direct another movie. He needs to be hired to work on other people's movies so he can direct the 20 minute monologues in which the leaders of teams of heroes explain each and every hero's powers and abilities. McG needs to start using a more professional sounding name. I don't care if it was a family nickname, I can't take any professional seriously when their professional name sounds like something you would order at a McDonald's run by "gangstas". Christopher Nolan should direct Batman movies for the rest of his career and I don't care what anyone has to say about moral ambiguity and the nihilistic Joker. Those were the best elements in Nolan's Batman movies. JJ Abrams can reboot any franchise he wants...as soon as he learns not to use lens flares in every scene. I'm actually kind of ambivalent about Orci and Kurtzman. They need to go to psychologists to deal with their daddy issues and stop foisting them on the audience.

    Does anyone else think we live in an alternate dimension where we actually got all the wacky director choices? There's gotta be someone on Earth-392 thinking "How could anyone but Wes Anderson direct Battlestar Galactica? And if Kevin Smith didn't do Lord of the Rings, how would you get that hilarious banter when Saruman and Sauron make fun of Wormtounge?" #transformers

    You do know Michael Bay actually did do a treatment for a Batman movie right?

    In reply to Is Clint Eastwood's 2004 Tsunami Picture Too Soon?
    The brilliant "Tsunami: The Aftermath" came out in 2006. It was such a harrowing and thoughtful piece on the disaster and the BBC did a wonderful job not only in not exploiting the tragedy of the whole event, but also showing us humanity.

    It did suffer for it's "too soon" concern, but it was such a good movie that didn't really factor in.
    While this was a hugely significant event in south eastern Asia, I don't think that incorporating a character who experienced the event into a movie that isn't actually about the event is treating the subject with any disrespect. In fact it is almost an attitude of acceptance; a naturalness becoming in our collective conciousness. #clinteastwood

    In reply to War Is Less Hell In The Future Of Sgt. Rock
    I shall make the obligatory post of

    "aw hell naow!"

    in expectation of the subsequent development that, once you start down the slippery-slope of making it more action-y and sci-fi-ish, you inevitably end up with Will Smith in the title role.

    By rights the part belongs to Tom Sizemore. "Saving Private Ryan" was a goddamned 2 hour audition tape for Sgt Rock. #sgtrock

    Why not Sgt Rasczak?

    Otherwise this just sounds like the comic book movie disaster equivalent of Speed Racer.

    In reply to Clueless Director Preps An NYC Based Vampire RomCom
    This surge in vampire movies makes me miss the heady days of my callow youth when the only vampire movie in the theaters was Bram Stoker's Dracula directed by the inimitable Francis Ford Coppola and staring the talents of Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, and Keanu Reeves. Now that was a vampire movie I could sink my teeth into. #vamps

    In reply to Eminem Vs. Facehuggers — Who Would You Root For?
    I route for the facehugger to finally shut this RAP up.I mean you can not rap if you got a facehugger on your mouth.Being the punk rocker I am I vote to have facehuggers put on all RAP Music although I am sure many of you will not agree.

    Can't help it.This is the one form of music you won't ever hear in my home unless I am payed to work on it. #eminem
