Please stop!


J. J., you have yet to direct your "own" movie. There's a scene from Jurassic Park that sums up your career...

"I'll tell you the problem with the scientific knowledge your using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. you read what others have done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourself so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox and now you're selling it."

It doesn't work like that, guy. All you do is take already established movies with decades of history and say "all that stuff you loved and grew up with never happened. Now you watch my version of your favorite shows and movies or nothing at all."

Oh god, now he is probably gonna redo Jurassic Park! Maybe that's not such a bad thing...could you please say the last three movies never happened and just leave the first one alone?

Thanks

All by himself, he did Super 8 and Cloverfield, which were the same movie except one had dumb 20 something yuppies and one had kids.

If he did a strict genre picture, like a detective noir film or a sword and sorcery fantasy film and could pull it off, I would be a little more tentative to call him a hack.
