    I didn’t see it, I just read several articles where I’ve heard him speak about the importance of imagination and wonder and I fully agree with all of it and putting the same schlock out year after fucking year is not imagination or wonder

      I saw Disclosure Day.

      I thought it was awful.

      I freaking love complex, weird sci fi. I’m usually pretty optimistic about critically mixed movies, or “simple” ones like the He Man movie. He Man was fun!

      But DD was so unoriginal and… boring. It was actively unfun, implausible on many levels yet taking itself so seriously. I could feel the writers’ massive egos from my seat; imagination and wonder have nothing to do with it.

      I literally could not believe it got generally positive reviews.

        that’s unfortunate, can’t win em all I guess. The general principle still stands though, I mean he made a bad movie, he still has a good viewpoint on movie making and what makes a good movie
