      On the one hand, that’s weird, on the other it’s fucking ridley scott. His final cuts are infamous, for one reason or another. He’ll come out with a director’s version, with the subtext being it’s the producer’s fault.

      I just don’t understand how a director of his reputation doesn’t just get the green light from hollywood to do what he wants, but then I see the slop that’s in mainstream theaters and realize they’re not the brightest bunch

    Hey, Ridley. Big fan. Don’t mind this guy, that’s just my friend Gerry the Clown. I’m sorry both your brothers died, one of a tragic suicide that left you grief-stricken. And, I really like the good movies you’ve made, and even some of the bad ones. I mean, Alien, Blade Runner, the original Gladiator? All fantastic stuff. And some of your later movies are alright too. I mean, I like Prometheus. And The Last Duel was just an all around solid picture. And there’s more, too many to list here in a way that would be entertaining to read, that I think range from very good movies to serviceable watches. All around a body of work to be proud of.

    But Gerry’s going to beat you to death with his big clown hammer now. Shame.gif
