The prolific JimmyC chimed in about director Peter Jackson’s milquetoast defense of his recent dud, “The Lovely Bones.”
When a movie is a success, the director is always willing to take the credit, but when it’s a failure, he/she always shuffles the blame off to someone else (usually the producers, with their evil “studio interference”). But this is the first time I’ve seen a director blame it on people’s unwillingness to make the drive to the theater.
In my opinion, almost all of Jackson’s movies up to this point have been worth a trip to the theater, for one reason or another. (Heck, even The Frighteners was a great cheesy popcorn movie). But if someone of his talent doesn’t think the material is worth a trip to the theater to see, he shouldn’t be working on it.

Who do you think you’re calling prolific?! Your face is prolific!
Wait, what does prolific mean again?
Seriously, though, thanks for the nod.
