Last episode some one asked about characters that killed low level npcs but then get's a heart and saves the main boss. James Bond in Spectre is the worst example of this. In Thunderball Bond has the line 'Little fish I throw back into the sea' meaning he wants to go after the big bad guy. Spectre get's everything wrong, he endangers a load of innocent people in the pre-titles and the crap about his step brother is dumb. They even messed up the gun barrel sequence. Bond, you are supposed to hide the gun you fool.
I think it'd be nice to have some videos dedicated to writing advice. Either as scripted edited videos, or even just clips from Ask Chuck Dixon so people who just want the parts with writing advice can watch those.
Thanks for another great vid, Chuck! I got a question for ya! What is your take on the Batgirl movie not being released, even though it is complete? Any insights you have about this? Also, what would your version of Batgirl be if you wrote the movie? Thanks!
Any sane and well-adjusted person would celebrate this, that you don´t know that or perhaps you *REALLY* want to Consoooom another movie that takes a dump on all that *our* culture stands for should make you reflect.
I think Crossgen would have been a success if they could have kept it going longer. Oh, and as a part time illustrator, drawing sailing ships SUCK. First off there are almost no straight lines, and for another there's all that rigging that not only takes ages to render, but you have to figure out how the hell to get the sight angles and put characters and actions into the panel without the rigging covering things up. As for Alan Grant, he was one of the few UK wave writers who actually LIKED comic books and superheroes.
I've had the misfortune of having to sit through many episodes of, 'NCIS: New Orleans,' to see why Lucas Black has been stuck in a support role on a TV series, and why that job will certainly be the pinnacle of his career. I've seen him given countless opportunities to shine by the Writers and Directors of that series and he remained one dimensional every time- sometimes even to the point of cheapening scenes by ruining dramatic tension with his stiff performances. The only thing that changes in his behavior from scene to scene is the volume of his voice. Scott Bakula is also very stiff, so the two performing together in a scene can have a humorous result sometimes, regardless of the context of the scene. I wouldn't advise gambling your I.P. on that guy.
1941 was also Kathleen Kennedy's first movie job! As well as Spielberg's first movie disaster. Makes you think. Funnily enough it came out in 1979, which is exactly forty years prior to Kathleen bombing out her failed Star Wars fugazi trilogy, with Rise of Skywalker in 2019. She must have really caught Spielberg with his pants down, back in '79! I mean how else could she have failed so astonishingly upwards.
Lol, not sure Lucas Black has the greatest acting range. Regarding Indiana Jones, I've enjoyed them all, but I do have big doubts over this last one, I'm thinking it might be a bridge too far.
I also find it amusing when people make the claim that you need to write every day to be a Writer. The fact that it is common practice shows one of the reasons why pretty much all movies and streaming/TV series are poorly written and shallow in this current era. The mass production writing approach rarely produces good results. Add to that the fact that the vast majority of Writers in the mainstream companies lack significant life experience so they must rely on stealing scenes and dialogue from real Writers then franken-steining them together. I also suspect that A.I. are being used to produce scripts, because there are a lot of weird jokes and scenarios in movies today that don't make any sense- like the Writer has absolutely no idea how actual human beings think and behave and no grasp on elementary physics. Or maybe the Writers are really just that bad.
Critical Drinker is great, and he DOES do some positive reviews of things he likes. But the negative reviews of awful stuff are probably more entertaining and popular.
The superhero genre isn't winding down- the movies and series of all genres suck in this current era and that's killing interest in video entertainment in general.

I'm totally with you on the cosplay thing.
Awesome to see you with EVS and the gang the other day!

Great episode ! And I’m not just saying that because I was in the “Twin Spin” this week ..;)
This was a great session, thanks Chuck.
I thought I was the only person that considered Easy Rider a joke of a movie....
Well hellz yeah, looks like I have something great to listen to for awhile!
And I can’t tell yeah how thrilled I am!
Grats on $50K, Chuck!
Batman tracks the Joker to Riverdale, and chaos ensues!
IF Chuck wrote a HOW TO writing book, THEN it would sell….
Great episode

Great content. The audio came across as extremely low. I had to crank it up so high that when ads popped up it would be painful.
Yeah a lot of these are too low audio, I wish Chuck would tweak it a bit.
So what you really mean is, Daily Wire is going to have a Chuck Dixon movie possibly. 🤣

Love the video

I really liked Crossgen.
Might wanna edit the description a little.
GodsPEed. ARE we all being too hard on Hollywood?
TALK ABOUT THE FIRST COMICON BACK IN 1964 WITH BERNIE BUBNIS AND RON FRADKIN WITH HELP FROM JERRY G.BAILS. SKIP THE STORY OF LEN WEIN.
