I felt theatrical was a punch long, so I'm not sure if directors cut exacerbates the problem or ties it together into a better flow.

Gail SImone's The Movement probably qualifies.

My thing is, if you sign your book to be adapted into a movie, YOU'RE NOT MAKING THE MOVIE, they are.  Therefore, your right to complain is a bit minimized.  If you don't want it fucked with, don't sell the rights.

By all actual documentation, PL Travers was NEVER going to be happy with any version of it.  She never wanted to make it into a movie and only relented because she needed money.  Walt was a ridiculous fan and wanted to do right by it.  I'm wont to defend Disney often, but I think she was so disgusted with herself by selling out that any movie would have been fruit from a poisoned tree.

Kind of a preview for 2014, and a future Intermission episode, but I've reading some Black List scripts this year, and holy SHIT was I impressed with HOLLAND, MICHIGAN.  Don't want to say much more than that for obvious reasons, but that is a solid read.

Much of your criticism is phalanxed by either your own personal expectations or context to other films.  That's not exactly how film criticism works, nor is it a direct answer to the question of worst Bond movie.  Moonraker is completely silly and Die Another Day fairly pointless.  QoS is at least doing something.  You may not like the set pieces, but it's shot beautifully, features pretty consistent editing, and textured performance by Craig.  It's not my favorite Bond, but far, far from the worst.

I have no urge to click that link and rub it in.  Nothing about this situation is funny to me.  I take no joy from mocking Shia right now.  He got busted, he's paying the price.  Friend of the show David Stripinis wrote this last night on twitter and I couldn't agree more.

"We have an entire generation coming that has no respect for IP.

Expect more, and worse."

Let's also be clear: this wasn't a one off passion project that Shia uploaded for feedback.  This thing played at Cannes in 2012.

Maybe I'm partial to the medium but I'm getting fucking tired of Comic Book writers getting fucked every time their work hits a screen.  Ed Brubaker, the guy who created the Winter Soldier character is not going to see a dime or even a screen credit when the next Captain America hits the screen.  Shia knows better.

Yeah, I didn't get really pissed about it until after his half hearted, aw-shucks apology.  Of it was just similar I could forgive but it's so much more than that.  And he's a smart dude so plant me firmly in the "baffled," camp.

Inspiration is one thing, LIFTING WHOLE LINES OF DIALOGUE AND IMAGES DOWN TO THE FRAME, is fucking stealing.  I, much like Shia, am a fan of Daniel Clowes.  I, much like Shia, read the original comic.  I'm sorry but this is beyond inspiration.  You having similar opinions on Surrogates to Cracked is one thing, but if you on our podcast literally read Cracked's description of the movie and did not credit them, you would be stealing too. 

I like Shia a lot, I have respected his work.  But the evidence here is damning.  I highly recommend watching his film and reading the aforementioned book.  It dispels any idea that Shia was "inspired."
