Let's not forget that this is about opinion. I've been public plenty of times before saying that Scorcesse is the least favorite of "legendary," directors. I think Coppola's praise is well earned and right on. Same with Kubrick, Hitchcock, Goddard and Kurosawa. Of all of those, Scorcesse to me is the weak link in the chain. His stuff just doesn't connect as well as it seems with others.
Firstly, let me requalify my statement. "Pound for Pound," means based on greatness vs output. Charon has made 6 films. Six. They were all awesome in varying degree (I go to bat quite often for Great Expectations). No one is discrediting Scorcesse's skill nor his importance to the time. But amongst Scorcesse's better films are his not so great films, which Cuaron has yet to make.
Secondly, the straw man of "Cuaron built on the shoulders of..." Is equally applicable to Scorcesse and filmmaker like Goddard and Truffaut for which he famously gives credit to. I'm not here to discuss his place in history. Scorsese still makes films during the time Cuaron does, hence the comparison.
Thirdly, I would argue that DeNiro could have given an equally good performance with a few other directors. Directors can help guide performances, but they are not solely responsible for them.
Mike's "I'm Team Fuck Bella. Edward and Jacob should just be gay and get together because she doesn't deserve either.

It's not like my recipes are worth their weight in gold, or anything. If you donate in the next 5 minutes, you get it emailed to you. Done.
CONGRATS!
Side note, should baby announcements go under "Creations"?
This doesn't really bother me. Drew at Hitfix rightly pointed out that Arndt is being used to establish framework for the other films as well and as we get deeper into Pre-Pro on each movie individually, expect to see this sort of thing. JJ still has to direct these things and while serving fandom, he also has to work his own sensibility to it, so this shouldn't be a shock.
Apparently there were two very specific plot points that Kasdan and Abrams agreed on but Arndt didn't, so it's easy to see who won.
I'll definitely make the ramen, but times are subject to change. We'll finalize later.
I really dig that one. Winter Soldier looks great and it's not an obvious reveal if you don't know the story.
There's a lot of the stuff in Prometheus that is gold. I think Brian's "If they said football was played with sticks and a net it would unacceptable," bit is pretty great. Obviously anything off Abyss is great for Trey. I think some of the discussion on Twilight would be of interest to the Potter audience.
I don't want to go too far on food tangent guys. That's a value added feature. Main attraction is the telethon itself.
I have a few exotic coffees (Bulletproof is the best), as well as some high caffeine organic Teas.
Actually, Prisoner of Azkaban should just be a Beef Wellington. And While I'm at it, Ill find an excuse to remake the Oxtail Shepherds Pie.
Yeah, I think I may have to combine the two concepts. Off the top of my head:
Philosophers Stone: Slow Poached Egg over Nitrate Free Bacon Dashi
Chamber of Secrets: Stuffed Red Peppers, 4 different fillings
Prisoner of Azkaban: Smoked OxTail under Cauliflower Parsnip Mash (See the mash is imprisoning the.....)
Goblet of Fire: Hand made Tsukemen Ramen in a spicy Shoyu Broth
Order of Phoenix: ?
Half Blood Prince: ?
Deathly Hallows 1: ?
Deathly Hallows 2: Pizza. I'm done.
I definitely will be feeding the crew. It's in my house so all my gadgets and pantry will be available to me. I'm of a few minds about how to handle the cooking theme, and I might as well put it out there here.
1) I could do 8 courses, one for each meal. I would probably theme it around the title of each movie as that would time out to a good number of snacks for all.
2) I actually am very passionate about food issues, especially healthy eating for cheap. Here in America, cheap usually means utter crap. I would like to challenge myself and also the audience and make enough food to feed 15-20 people for 24 hours straight, and it's all healthy and all under 100 bucks. It has nothing to do with Potter, nothing to do with Malaria, it's just a side thing fro me.
Thoughts?
I should make it clear that I actually don't identify as atheist. I do not believe in a God as a singular masculine consciousness, but I stop just shy of saying atheist. The difference is largely semantical but as a Buddhist, I kinda have this view as Universe and it's contents = God.
