And yet people keep giving Snyder money to make movies for stupid teenage boys.

Yeah, that’s another that makes no sense to me. People largely dislike all his recent works. “Let’s give him a huge budget for a two part star wars fan fic!”

Snyder has an amazing eye for action. Sucker Punch, 300, and Watchmen were all amazing visual/auditory feasts. Everything else about his movies is just average to below average, though.

Giving him a Star Wars makes perfect sense when you consider what Disney thinks of the Star Wars audience. “Just give them laser sword and space ships and explosions and they’ll be happy.”

Blomkamp is better in every way. I think he got blacklisted because the money guys didn’t like his social commentary.

I mean, stupid teenage boys will spend what money they have to hang out with their friends… So, it’s a viable audience.

His stuff at least manages to make money somehow, so that makes some kind of sense from a money worship point of view. I doubt Blomkamp’s movies raked in as much cash though.
