They think they're done.
They've expressed the suspicion no one's gonna finance their visions anymore, which is tough because they are sincere filmmakers. They're not merely punching out a product. And I hate it because there's a dearth of big budget ORIGINAL space operas. I wonder if it's because there's less appreciation for thematic symbolism, and more desire for daydream-fantastical realism.

Your fallacy there is there's no telling what's shit and what isn't until the movie's done.More desire for movies that aren't shit.
What's hilarious is Vudu hasn't updated Lilly's picture, so she's still Andy in it.I think it's cuz they're dudes who think they're chicks.

Obviously going by track record means nothing; it's the very reason for the disappointment.
Okay, but they have made movies, and they were shit. They can't ride that Matrix wave forever.
Track record means EVERYTHING, when you're deciding to give people $150 million dollars to fuck around with. Like it or not, it's a business at the end of the day, and they are a terrible investment.
With all the money they have, you'd think they would pick a better surgeon to make them into hotties.
I mean if a third world country like Thailand can get it right, why can't first world rich millionaires do it? Jenner, Wachoname, etc all look like fugly trannies.
Go back to their roots. IMO, they never made a better movie than Bound. Unlike the movies that followed, the script is tight and sharp, and the execution is practically perfect. It's still probably one of my top ten movies of all time and hasnt aged a day. Thats the kind of creative focus they need to go back to. A smaller, tighter story where they cant use flash and spectacle as the storytelling device and instead use it to stylishly enhance the narrative they're telling. Although when it comes to creativity I always wonder how people change as they age. The notion that the same director made both Alien and Covenant is almost nonsensical to me. Not in style or technique, which has obviously improved as hes gotten older, but just in the notion of what works.
