On the plus side, looks like JJ wants Jar-Jar dead.

He's been pretty self destructive, hasn't he?

He's not entirely wrong about the nature of the blockbuster movie. But I think he's off base on the geek = infantilism thing. We're just redefining the nature of entertainment for adults to be broader. All because you like things other than Reader's Digest and 60 Minutes doesn't mean you aren't a grown up.

He needs to do a better job of not making his fan base think he is being insulting to them.

Nice production video.

Shows lots of characters, no plot details.

Hot damn.

It's nice to feel excited about Star Wars again.

As someone who just watched Episode IV with his kids a week ago: That's not a high bar.

I mean the kid in me loved Star Wars, but the adult in me find the writing horrible. I have not recently re-watched Episode V, though. Maybe that one's the exception.

I think JJ is a competent film maker, he just needs a script that works. He will still make Star Trek Into Darkness even with a weak script.

I think Drew's smoking crack. Maybe JJ's got a quality film in there.

I think he's overrated. Not Joss overrated, but somewhere on the same ruler.

I said he is competent, not a genius.

For it's time it was still pretty damn good, even the iffy writing. The 70s was not a good time for film, on the whole.

I think what he did with Star Trek was genius, but I'm almost certain he didn't do it on purpose. He lucked into some extraordinary storytelling there.
