I've read MB & Chronic City. Didn't care for either really. Some fun moments in each, though.

Im so so exited about the return of Richard Stanley with no other that one of the last stars of cinema, Sir Nic Cage.
¨Color Out Of Space¨ can get here soon enough.

Is a sequel to The Shining the surest sign yet of our cultural bankruptcy?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The book was 50% awesome. Everything with adult Danny — his journey since The Shining and his plot in the book — was WAY better than I had assumed.
The stuff with the villains was weird and clunky.
Yeah, I think this is right.

Because I hate Stephen Sondheim musicals. Because I'm on the fence about Linklater. Because I'm really suspicious of this gimmick. Because Linklater doing a musical is a terrible idea. Because casting young people who are "IT" kids now doesn't mean they'll be interesting two decades from now. Because Merrily is a terrible show. Because musical films, in general, are a stupid....
I could keep going.

I really love some of Linklater's stuff. And I really dislike some of it. Ditto Sonheim, really. Company and Sweeney Todd (for example) are great. I didn't love Boyhood, though and I think applying that idea to this script does not inspire hope in me. Maybe I'm wrong and he'll kill it. I just don't see how Linklater's strengths align well with Sondheim's.
