The problem with that, however, is the constant need for more-more-more. How is people enjoying something and wanting more of it a problem? It's not like it's cocaine or as you mentioned earlier, candy. I'm trying to understand the negative effect. _________________________ Walla Walla Bing Bang.

Allen Montgomery Member Registered: 05/08/00 Posts: 6909	Originally Posted By: ChrisW [Whedon's notoriety] predate[s] "Iron Man" as the catalyst you insist made him get the job. Did Whedon conceive the franchise mash-up, or was he hired afterwards? Originally Posted By: ChrisW But apparently he told Marvel/Disney/Hollywood he was going to direct "The Avengers" and, being the middle-level player you insist he was, they handed over the keystone of the expensive franchise without hesitation. Sony spent millions to get the rights to Spider-Man cleared to make the first movie, because they (mistakenly) thought James Cameron was still attached to it. What had Sam Raimi done at that point? _________________________ "The trouble with being a ghost writer or artist is that you must remain anonymous without credit.

Allen Montgomery Member Registered: 05/08/00 Posts: 6909	Originally Posted By: Lawson Finis Terrae, for a start, to name just one classic you inexplicably left off your list above. Somewhat slow-paced, with a very thin plot. Some very sophisticated camera work and editing, given the era. It's disconcerting that Epstein would follow House of Usher with something this threadbare, while Buñuel followed with Un Chien Andalou and L'Age D'Or. And now that I've seen Finis Terrae, I've seen two more Epstein films than you have. _________________________ "The trouble with being a ghost writer or artist is that you must remain anonymous without credit.
