- It seemed like a big *shrug* to me. So paying attention to the other team is wrong? -- (edited) - Cuzzin Todd Sep 5, 16:01 3

- And he was malleable enough to make Jurassic World -- nm - Roger More Sep 5, 15:12 16
  - Eh, I would rather see it in better hands. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 15:13 2
    - Sure, but out of four Star Wars movies they've had irreconcilable problems with three of the directors. That says they're making the wrong choices. -- nm - Roger More Sep 5, 15:17

        I could see any of this if the movies were bad or unsuccessful. They are audience pleasers and make effing bank. -- nm - Diva Sep 5, 15:49 3
        
        Batman had 3 record setting opening weekends. The 4th movie was so bad, they needed a decade to fix the damage - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Sep 5, 16:11 2
