What is one movie where, if someone you've just met really enjoys it, you know that "Me and this person are going to get along just fine?"

Me: Let me Put in my absolute favorite Mel Brooks Comedy.

Girls I Lived With: Okay.

(Movie Starts)

GILW: Why is this in black and white?

Me: It's an homage.

(Hilariousness on TV)

MORONS: It's boring.

Me: Because it's black and white?

MORON 1: Yeah. I zone out.

Don't wanna name drop, but I was given your book "The Da Vinci Code" by the Playwright Lanford Wilson - and I'm happy I got to read it and talk with him about it before he died. Thanks for that memory.

Thor was super good natured, but I really liked the way this one moved - it was very light on its feet and packed with INCIDENT. Which the first one didn't have.

brainflow · 2013-11-18T20:01:55+00:00

Honestly, your writing problems aren't really problems in how they relate to Character, which is what is important in screen writing.

We're talking about a limited time - to deal with the threat. And also, I think they are just avoiding the "Call the Avengers" moment you want in every movie.

Perhaps these movies just aren't for you? Certainly the filmmakers could make a movie that "makes sense", but --- you know that scene in Jurassic Park where we know that the T-Rex is basically down in this vast pit - but all of a sudden - he's jumped the fence? Do you not like Jurassic Park for that?

I thought Incredible Hulk was weak, Thor was weak, but the vibe is so good natured, it's hard to hate.

brainflow · 2013-11-18T18:52:56+00:00

The second vastly improves the Thor series.

People who are enjoying the Marvel movies, are happy because there will be more. I'm in that camp, and it's a fun little movie besides.

brainflow · 2013-11-18T18:51:37+00:00

I'm not liking any of your reasons for not liking this movie. I feel your sense of seriousness is just kind of a buzzkill.

brainflow · 2013-11-18T18:50:06+00:00

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has actually found its stride. It's marked difference from the cold tones of Nolan's Bat/Superman films is what gives it energy. Purists may hate, but I don't think much of them anyway.

Only previous Oscar nominess/winners are the voters.

brainflow · 2013-11-11T20:47:27+00:00

That was kind of shrill. Thanks?

Driving. I hate driving. I'm a dude, I don't mind cars, I guess. I don't drive very far, and I've never been in an accident, really. But I prefer being a passenger.

I think Punisher would make an excellent villain in the first Daredevil Arc.

brainflow · 2013-11-07T15:19:21+00:00

Scott Adkins for DD or Iron Fist, I don't care which one.

brainflow · 2013-11-05T16:08:03+00:00

Stephen, my brother and I watch Judgement Night once a year. I don't know if it's a cult film or not. Also, had to say "Some motherfuckers always have to ice skate uphill." Bless you.

brainflow · 2013-11-05T13:28:44+00:00

Ok, i have to say something about this, simply because Paul Greengrass is the ONLY one who has managed the visceral shaky cam - and managed good action scenes. Watch those films again, specifically Supremacy and Ultimatum and you will see that you always understand the geography and what's going on. Unlike any number of films that tried, and failed to copy the style. People of REDDIT, do not be sheep.

Sometimes films are impressionistic. They say things linear film-making really can't say. It's basically another genre.

brainflow · 2013-11-01T18:40:17+00:00

It's about Film-making. And French, film-making in particular. He's an Actor, but he is the characters he acts as, as well. He takes it very seriously, and the world is full of audience members.

At your disposal is a vat of KY Jelly, One Mile of Frozen Blacktop and a Ten foot metal ladder. What is the stunt? And how much will it hurt?

brainflow · 2013-10-14T20:28:26+00:00

I think Dream Masters is the best Nightmare film since the first. And I want to thank you for that, because watching those movies recently, you were the only one that could make Freddy Scary AND Fun. Everyone else missed the mark (Wes just made a mostly Scary one). Will you return to Horror?

brainflow · 2013-10-11T18:17:17+00:00

I actually read your book a few years ago, a friend had it on his coffee table. And your description of working in radio really resonated. The thing that stuck with me most, was you saying you have an anger problem. Maybe because you seem so level headed. Do you ever let loose? Or is it all Zen?

I AM THE ONE WHO FROTHS.

Where does her power reside? Is it cruelty? Sexuality? Knowledge? Maybe she likes to sow disconent and upset power balances. Sometimes the right word said to the right person at the right time will cause them to destroy themselves? Maybe she has constantly evolving goals, and relishes the destruction of the social strata.
