Great vid, Jules. Kevin Smith has since walked his comments back after Bruce Willis' diagnosis of aphasia.

I thought for sure Ricci’s “weight” in Buffalo 66 would make the list. One of the stupidest excuses 😂 she looked AMAZING

Wha?! She was the best part of that film.

Marlon Brando only mailed in his roles after The Godfather. Everything after that was just to get his name on the posterboard, and a check in his bank. I cannot think of any good role he did after that. Apocalypse Now is supposed to be great, but he showed up very overweight for an SF Colonel, and not knowing his lines. That's why his segments are always in very close focus in dark lighting, and he says one line at a time, which often were not in the script.

I'm surprised that Richard Stanley didn't blame Val Kilmer for the failure of "The Island of Dr. Moreau"

Kilmer himself blames himself for it. He says he was going through his divorce at the time, and that he acted very poorly. Brando was doing Brando things and being insane, and they massively indulged him

David Brin also blamed a lot of the failings of The Postman on Costner, to be fair. I got guided to the book by that movie, and the differences in story and quality are staggering.

Waterworld is a good movie.

Always love hearing the "One per List"!

Emmerich is full of shit. Will didn’t quit halfway through production. He read the script and passed on it. Can’t blame him; it was bad. Of course, so was Suicide Squad. 🤷‍♀️

Waterworld is actually a good movie

Alex Kutrzman squarely blamed Tom Cruise for how bad The Mummy reboot turned out

Preminger is pronounced PREM-in-jer, not pre-MIN-jer.

There been plenty of times a good actor saved a bad script and Smith has always been a hack for hire

There is a surplus of blame and deficit of accountability in the world of movie making, these days. Word and opinion have a broader reaches than ever before. You no longer depend on just two guys eating popcorn in a mock theater for your movie news. You know, I was once told that, in larger populated cities, there is enough first time patronage to keep even a shitty restaurant in business. Movies once counted on this. They no longer can.

Love the one per list.

Thank you for your return to form! My mom thanks you too

ONE PER LIST!

Joss has a niche writing style. Mixing comedy, with drama, and action. He does it very well. In the Alien universe that style doesn't fit. I liked Alien 3 better. Alien 3 was an attempt at recreating the claustrophobic, and known hidden danger, and suspense of the original. 4 made sense, but didn't at the same time. Just like I love, and hate it. There were some good one liners, but an action comedy, with Xenomorphs was better with Mel Brooks. And that was only one scene.

As much as I detest Joss Whedon these days, even Sigourney Weaver agreed that the script had been much better than was conveyed on-screen. They both seemed to blame the director. That was the main reason she agreed to cameo in Cabin in the Woods.

Also, he made a similar complaint for another movie... I don't have a clip of it, and I can't reproduce it here in writing, but in the first X-men movie, people made fun of a line he wrote, "Do you know what happens to a toad when it's hit by lightning? [Toad gets hit by lightning] The same as everyone else." And it was a bad line reading, but in the interview I heard, he gave an example of how he imagined it, and the words were the same, but it worked a lot better. It is one problem with writing, especially for movies, in Hollywood... a writer can have an idea for a good line, but then the producer and director and actor all get in there and it's almost a game of telephone where the final performance loses what the writer intended.

How is that Smith's fault? A ID sequel was a bad idea to begin with. The whole appeal of the first film was watching all the real-world buildings and monuments get destroyed. Once the world had been rebuilt following the first alien attack, it was harder for the audience to relate to the 'what if?' scenario. Smith wasn't obliged to return.

John Frankenheimer famously quipped "Will Rogers never met Val Kilmer!" He reportedly told the crew to get Kilmer "the hell off this set" when at the character wrap.

That Independence Day sequel was utter rubbish, despite Jeff Goldblum's good performance. And the reason is quite obvious: it's a CPC propaganda piece.

Resurrection and Waterworld are awesome flicks. Brain-off fun.

I liked Alien 4 Joss Whedon I don't 🙂

WHO was Monroe' sacting coach?

_Alien Resurrection_ was a disaster because of its director. Josh Whedon had little to do with it. A French director who, _did not speak English!_ How in the world can someone direct a film without being able to speak the language?! How exactly did they expect to 'work around' that?!

Hey, your recording quality is off in this video....too much gain, breaths are not edited out, I hear pops and blow outs. The video is fine, but the sound quality isn't up to par on this one, unusually noticeable.

Let's be honest, actors tank shows with bad acting all the time.

Kevin Smith sucks. I skipped his career.

Can we get Jules a better baffle or get him to take one step back from the mic? All I can hear is air hitting the mic.

Tony or Paul Kaye?

I'm glad Costner and the director got over it, because "The Hatfields and the McCoys" was absolutely fantastic. 8:00 So the guy that claimed Ed Norton was too narcissistic to work with quit the film and then spent 100K of his own money to trash the film. Yeah, nothing narcissistic about that. 10:00 My brother worked for Cal Kilmer for a time, and given what he said and what I've observed about Brando, there ain't enough money on the planet to get me to work with those two.

To me fair, Madonna was the worst part of that movie… I blame her too 😂

He fucking did it

So Whedon blamed everyone else for his Alien movie. I'm not surprised given how he blamed everyone for his X-men movie. I remember an interview he gave saying something like 'yes, i wrote the lines, but she said it seriously '- about one of Halle Berry's lines. It was that stupid "So you know what happens to a road when it's hit by lightning? The same thing as everything else." It's just a bad line- one of many. Egos of these folks are so fragile.

I agree, I saw both those movies in the cinema and enjoyed them but both had some bad lines, that Toad line was abysmal, the only part of the film I hated, I spent years asking why it wasn't changed at any point before release to "It gets fried!" or something. Half the people in this comment section could have read that script and made Whedon's lines punchier and funnier than he did.

The first Alien movie was good because Weaver looked great in her underwear and the Alien was cool. All the sequels were worse and they were SJW girl power.
