Inspired by the sometimes-great blog The Bitter Script Reader Two come to mind. Back in the mid-80's when Cannon Studios was attempting to put a SPIDER-MAN movie together one of the original ideas was for the film to be about a literal SPIDER. No Peter Parker in it. Just a movie about a spider with special abilities. Another bad script idea was the original idea to set THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA in Los Angeles, and an earthquake opens a portal to Narnia. Thank God someone came to their senses and went back to the source material. |

| The makers of the Harry Potter film series briefly considered moving Hogwarts to America, in order to engage their largest target audience (and we all know how rich American history is when it comes to appreciating and respecting wizardry and witchcraft).
Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed. Imagine:
Mr Harry Potter The closet under the stairs 12 Privet Lane Milwaukee, Wisconsin
I wonder whether Voldemort would have still been British, to "balance things out"? |

| Pretty much everything I've ever written up to 2010 has been shit.
That's why I bring CASINOROYALE coffee every morning on the set of TRANNIES 4: MACHINES OF THE PAST. |

Nowhere near Salem, Massachusetts I should hope or we'd be seeing Harry Potter and The Deathly Gallows. |

I once had an idea that involved some kind of white supremacist milita movement-cult thing trying to fulfil Charles Manson's "Helter Skelter" prophecies by starting a race war between African-Americans and Latinos, confident that both sides would kill one another off and that whites would rule the United States with the constituiton and Bill of Rights replaced by the Bible. I was aiming for a villain who was wholly dedicated to his cause, but it just came off as super-critical of organised religion. |

| No, I mean that I imagine that if GS was commissioned to write a script, he would likely go out to prove a point - ie that Babs is the anti-Christ. He would make no attempt to hide his agenda, and the end result would likely be a bloated, over-written mess of a film. |

Like QUANTURD OF SOLACE? Yeah, no "agenda" there (wink, wink). Does EON pay you under the table to come in here and defend them, or do they just leave a wad of cash on your nightstand? |

| I never said that QUANTUM OF SOLACE was a good film. You appear to have misinterpreted some of my earlier comments in another thread. I said that there was some uproar when it first became known that the film would contain a scene where Bond and Camille would discuss the nature of killing. But the actual lines in question - when Bond tells her not to over-compensate for the adrenaline rush - weren't that bad. They weren't the philosophy-heavy moral-quandry psycho-babble that people were expecting. |

I'm not misinterpreting your words. I'm interpreting Daniel Craig's words from his interview with TOTAL FILM, where he admits in the April 2008 Issue 139 interview, on page 74, that the film has an agenda: " We're not out to make some bold political statement, but there is something in this movie that we're keen to put across: a twist. I don't want to say too much about it, but yes, if you're going to make a spy movie then you have to refer to the world outside." " Look, we're reinventing the character to some degree. We have to discover what he's about," says Craig. Michael G. Wilson on "M" having more to do in QUANTURD OF SOLACE: " She really kicks ass." Basically, every talking point that was assigned to QOS is being recycled for SKYFALL. Like the fetuses at Planned Parenthood, I wasn't born yesterday. I've read all this nonsense before, only this time it's going to be A-list, Oscar-winning nonsense. |

| If you're so convinced that it will be an aberration, the solution is simple: don't watch it. |

| MEN IN BLACK 3 sounds like a trainwreck in the making. Does anyone even want the film to be made? MEN IN BLACK 2 is perhaps the most unnecessary sequel in cinematic history; MEN IN BLACK 3 sounds like it is going to be the most unnecessary sequel to an unnecessary sequel. But hey, studios have to find something for Will Smith to do ... |

Thank you for providing us with free berf control. I'm just a 3rd year law student out of Harvard struggling to make ends meet on $50,000 a year. Berf control for men is expensive. It can cost us up to $7 dollars a month to purchase a pack of Trojans. After spending money on beer, cable, Internet, cell phone service, movies, pizza Fridays, and video games, there's almost no money at the end of the month to pay for recreational drugs AND reproductive services. Thankfully we've got you and the American taxpayer to help subsidize my our poor lifestyle choices. Thanks y'all. |

Thanks y'all. And then they'll complain about the lack of jobs for law graduates at the end of it all and blame society for their failure to do their research before the LSAT. |
