JJ Is Back For Star Wars 9

This weeks blog is short as my workload on Gotham is longer than I thought. Those hours.....
Live on MNN will be back in October for our Halloween Special.

Will someone make up their mind? Actually JJ should have directed all three. Not that the first one was great, the script was also blame on that one. But he did direct in real time instead of Lucas depending on blue screen for everything. And  JJ is also a writer so this should be in good hands finally.

Well there you have it. The highest paid female director and she gets a backend deal to top it off!
And I'm glad they are not playing musical chairs with that position. Warners finally got something right, not counting the Nolan's Batman Trilogy.

Kind of weak but it does include the original theme and it has NO Singing...
"It's been a long time...." ugghhh how wonder the show got cancel. Same for ST Beyond with Rhianna song at the end. Again...No Singing!

Yo Liam, take the money! You earn it! Oscar nominated and all. Hey you got stuntmen, quick editing, and CG to cover up those aching bones. Hell you got Rockers at 70 all over the stage. Sir Paul, Sir Mick, Bob Seger and they on the stage for 2 hours plus and nobody covers their ass!

I got a beef with this list but I'll make it short cause only one Superhero movie made the list. WTF!
Snow White was a cartoon, Mary Poppins also had had a cartoon sequence, King Kong '75 was a guy in a suit (not that's a bad thing) and that blue screen was awful at the end, Jaws was a robotic shark (looked great tho), 300 had massive overkill with the blue screen...
SO only Superman '78 made the cut. How about the first Avengers movie. That didn't bring it up a level or two?
