The ads will begin, cue wacky music, "From the director of PARENTHOOD...." (not dissing that movie at all - still my favorite RH movie) | ||

When LOTR first came out, I saw copies of Bad Taste and Brain Dead in the shops with "From the director of Lord of The Rings" plastered across the top of them. I love the thought of some sweet hobbit loving granny settling down to watch either of those... | ||

Ron Howard doing Lovecraft? That's like Cliff Richard releasing a set of Radiohead cover versions. | ||

Ron Howard directs surface films - he doesn't have the insight to get right under a a story or subjects skin. His best film is that western with Tommy Lee Jones, The Missing(?). And that was merely decent. He's hugely overrated and immensely commercial. | ||

I'd agree, Zed. But again, PARENTHOOD? Great flick, great ensemble flick, probably his best. Wow, thinking about it, I'm actually in the mood to go out and find it.... |
