“Two hours in the labyrinth of Paramount’s Avarice…. It was my first–and my last–IMAX venture. Haven’t been to a 3-D movie in years, and it’s bye-bye to THAT scathing visual transgression for the remainder of MY lifetime… It was an unceasing, unrelenting, take-no-audience-prisoners audial and visual back-alley mugging for two hours… I have been beaten up many times; I know what it feels like: this was a two-hour assault. I weep, as Jesus wept, for the generations that will grow up thinking this is what it means to “go to the movies.” I am near-on 79, and I [understand] that this is a generational opinion, but I do not think any sensible person not of a tot age where videogame… overkill is pro forma, could confuse the IMAX “experience” with a Saturday matinee outing. The term “author” as regards Summer Blockbuster movies, is not only moot, it is Urdu. Mountains heave mightily, and give birth to volcanic ant-hills.”
~ Harlan Ellison Takes In Star Trek: Into Darkness
“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”
~ Sarah Polley’s Greatest Wish About Stories We Tell

Gosh, this post has been up for nearly four hours and, so far, no response from Spam Dooley. That’s… odd.
…you could hear a pin drop.
Perhaps he’s out of the country?
the spammer is just looking for a way to disagree with david on it. don’t worry bout him. he’ll find some janitor at disney to bad mouth someone here and give him gossip
Isn’t it weird how few people have commented regarding this? It’s like everyone who reads this blog suddenly vanished.
Who’s Scott Rudin?
I don’t think its about vanishing. I think most people don’t really care about the internals at studios. They care about the movies coming out and the stars and the directors. I think I know the industry fairly well and I don’t even know these names here. But thats why I come. To learn.
Rudin can do what he wants. But don’t work for him. Trust me. Lets just say really fat, gay men who yell and scream aren’t fun to work for.
didn’t they base swimming with sharks on him? if hes anything like spacey, wow.
bob
Leave it to you to be wrong and provoke my superior knowledge.
Swimming with Sharks was based on BARRY JOSEPHSON at Columbia.
as far as my comments
WHO CARES about Publicists?
Spam Dooley doesn’t
Well gosh, Spamster: Does this mean publicists are people you wouldn’t feed? That’s harsh, man.
I heard the Swimming with Sharks/Scott Rudin rumor too, and sadly Spam is correct, that the writer was a former assistant to Josephson.
Why is it sad? I am Spam Dooley and I am always right- or else I don’t speak- unlike some of YOU.
And have you seen a publicist lately?
They don’t need feeding.
I am Spam Dooley and I feed MY people.
Spammer is Jeff Wells. Bitter at Poland for having a ten times better site.
Mark is Mark Wahlberg, bitter at having worked with David Russell.
I am Spam Dooley and I know all!
spammer is the janitor over at the baja fresh on wilshire
You’re giving Spammer much too much credit. He’s at the Carl Jr’s.
Dave, it may be time to ban online poker. I don’t think he even cares about movies. Maybe Rounders.
