    I am trying to live including the following ~ mindsets
    “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” - Albert Einstein
    “You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.” - Harlan Ellison
    "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly, one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." - Sherlock Holmes
    “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” - Voltaire
    “One always speaks badly when one has nothing to say.” - Voltaire = see bad politicians getting their seats by being polemic and worse
    “It is one of the superstitions of the human mind to have imagined that virginity could be a virtue.” Voltaire = see how normal it seems to be to judge gender differently, and to judge the freedom of the possibility of changing the choice
    “Opinions have caused more ills than the plague or earthquakes on this little globe of ours.” - Voltaire = see misused freedom of speech
    “A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” - Mark Twain

  1. Under the first deal even the then newly at Sony arriving ~ studio boss had no say at all in the MCU movies, under the new deal Marvel pays and gets 25% There is also talks about the possibility of Holland‘s Spidey crossing over to Sony‘s Marvel movies, the wordings make it IMHO very clear that Holland‘s Spider Man belongs to the MCU It‘s a special case, there are always exceptions from rules
  2. Here I disagree to the strongest I was the last time in a cinema in 2019 (me having gotten 3 jabs, still wont go). Most of the people in my circle of friends also still do not go. Brother the same Son & friends went only once during summer since it started Yes, a lot of the GA do go if its possible, but there also a lot who still wont go.
  3. hello too yupp, too much work, also not going to the movies for security reasons, lessened ‚the need‘ to jump into the board, plus other reasons my time/energy… didn‘t allow a relaxed visit.
  4. I had a few for best… lists, but those where done during high pressure times, so it was a combination of a cool down at work (and other places), and the tag 😉
  5. haha, I am older than him (I am in my 6th decade, he is not) Soooo, what‘s up beside it being the Batman opening weekend? Wasn‘t in a cinema in ages (live in one of the worst counties… and so on)
  6. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_(Marvel_Comics) Hercules is since 1965 a Marvel character. He belonged to eg the Avengers at least for some time, had his first own series in 2008. Belonged also to The Defenders, Heroes for Hire,.... There is a comic series were the Pantheon gods fight against the Elders Also a series where ‚someone‘ kills eg all gods present in the Pantheon, eg Hercules is among those who find the dead and dying sister Another series has the Pantheon fighting against the Skrulls (Conan too belongs to the Marvel comic world with him being at a time in modern times too....) There are also gods of the Egyptians, Maya, Hawaiian/Polynesian, Japanese, Mesopotamian, Inca, AUS aboriginal, Hindu, Slavic, Philippine, (fantasy gods) Hyborian, Inuit, Jumala gods (Finnish), Native American, (fictional, Lovecraft) Cthulhu / Old Ones, Roman (see Olympian Gods, overlap https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympians_(Marvel_Comics) , Turkic/Mongolian, Aztec, Celtic, Formore (Irish), African, Chinese, Yazatas (proto-Iranian language...), Yondu’s god, (fictional) Shi’ar, Skrull gods (obviously also...), and Old Gods of Zenn-La (Chaos War),.... Solo gods for: Dire Wraith god (see Inhumans, Dire Wraith created by Celestials), Badoon god (for the males), the god of the Symbiots, the god of the Druffs, god of the Carmondian (Captain Marvel), Plasmagenian god (Avengers Celestial Quest), Queega god, = nearly all of those had at least one encounter with either Thor or Hercules or both of them or are in the Thor & Hercules: Encyclopaedia Mythologica There is also a long list of deities.... Gorr the God Butcher kills quite a few of the listed ones
  7. I already answered that To mini-series,.... the influence of a director is usually even less for a series than for an average movie. As much bigger the budget, as much mire a pre-existing franchise, the impact of a director, the possibilities.... decreases more and more. Not in every case, but more often than not. In the sum you seem to judge mostly in black and white, missing the many many shades of grey in between, also way too early on, dismiss / ignore every point for maybe adjusting to a less ‚one person is at fault’ judgement, and use a wording I‘d consider not balanced.
  8. I am not even sure if I like it or not yet, I only have seen as a sum ~ half of the first episode yet, so its again interesting to see how you ‚give blame‘ without even asking, jumping to conclusions too fast. Its not the director to blame if eg higher ups change things without asking (eg see one of the Wolverine movies) or even take over parts of all of the edit (see eg 13th Warrior), or if scenes are missing for reasons not in the hands of the director (eg if an actor dies or gets pregnant or can‘t travel or ends in jail or...., or a pandeminc is changing lots of details, or money promised is not there, equipment or filmed scenes get lost/stolen/broken/mishandled by customs, or...) or if a project is made for order, means the real creatives, the ones with an impacting say are other people. I didn‘t brought it up based on what you criticized, I brought it based on how you worded your ‚critique‘, judgement.... edit: forgot to add: to dismiss another county‘s award system as unimportant again... beside that: won 6 times, nominated 5 times the Director‘s Guild of Canada is IMHO not ‚an unimportant award‘ = feels very judgmental at best = has nothing to do about the mini-series, just about how it gotten worded.
  9. if you think that director is the sole reason for the problems of the Dark World than I am not surprised about your ways to lay blame before looking into or forgetting lots of details of its background To dismiss another’s country’s A\awards in that way does not help to improve the prejudice (or worse) impression I got.
  10. Not disagreeing, but maybe I have another general approach, like am more used to wait longer for the finale or...? See I feel often season one of a series needs time to get in the rhythm of the story or...? So many behind the scenes influence at the beginning, needs time to get into the flow. This case: How to edit on the same level if eg the director is in CAN, the editor is somewhere else, and scenes planed are missing or done in a changed version not of the same level (crew smaller, other locations, not available cast at certain locations, maybe even eg staff getting sick, ....) based on COVID? Yes, there is video conference, but I think the discussions during eg a break, the sound-boards, the bigger team around them,... are missing, less natural. Its still more time regulated, less spontaneous to a degree. Plus in my POV a director who does a made for/to/on order TV-series / mini-series is usually rather less free for expressing a vision than eg a huge budget used movie director, or? Not the only reasons why I‘ll wait and see the finale first AND will try to find out a bit of a background till I give my rating. There were even movies I only rated after eg 5y, as only then I finally found some details I felt early on something else might have played into the end-product Ridley Scott is a good example, see eg the difference between Kingdom of Heaven theatrical version vs the still missing scenes of the director’s cut and the reasons for those 2 different versions that I’d rate with 3-4 steps out of 10 in between the versions. I like him, but only watch in general movies the story is about something I am interested in, means I have not watched all of his movies (there is no multi titles director I have seen all of his/her work, same counts for actors,... too, even the most beloved ones) I’ll give for now every project made/finalized during the pandemie a benefit of the doubt
  11. director is eg a BAFTA winner, also a 7-times CAN Director‘s Guild winner and more. Probably more achievements than quiet a lot of others in the industry, or eg here. Personally I‘ll wait till 1. the series is finalized and 2. I know more about any project‘s background details in general and even more so during a pandemic till I look for someone to ‚blame‘. In especially in a made on order project in general, and agan in especial for a TV series / mini-series
