I'm more open-minded about Yellow Submarine then I was initially, especially given Robert Zemeckis seems to have a pretty good head on his shoulders.

But again, just because one studio is making a movie (potentially a bad one) doesn't mean that a movie which another studio is making is condemned to be bad. As famed screenwriter William Goldman said "In Hollywood, nobody knows anything." The point wasn't that the town is populated only with idiots. Rather it means that whether a project is successful or unsuccessful really is a crapshoot.

You can decrease risk with familiar properties all you want but at the end of the day the audience decides. The only way to guarantee nobody is going to see your movie is to not make it at all. If this thing does go through (and who's to say it will?) and Legendary hires a good director with a solid vision of the REAL Godzilla, then what are we complaining about? The potential it could be bad? Isn't there always the potential something could be bad?

Yes, I've seen that before. I think what I like most about that scene is that Altman is simultaneously making fun of Hollywood types through their interactions with eachother and also making fun of the horribly overused long-tracking shot by making it ridiculously long at 8 minutes.

Make no mistake about it, there are a lot of bozos in Hollywood. But that doesn't mean everyone is. Let's just hope if and when an American Godzilla movie gets made it won't be by one.

Well I don't want Bond actually fighting Godzilla. I just want them in the same movie somehow.

And I was never very familiar or fond of West's Batman. >>
