Good discussion of the industry. But I still have to ask, why doesn't the movie industry look for more compelling stories? I understand the point of "known quantities", but find most movies to be at best uncompelling so I simply have no interest in them, in most cases I find that franchises suck.
Pretend that I am not an outlier, I know that I am, but it would be great to hear a discussion from a movie maker who has tried to portray what they see as a compelling book on the big screen. Kubrick did this with Clarke's short story "The Sentinel" to create the 2001 screen play.

Scott's ability to recall years of release and box offices of even minor movies from years ago always amazes me. He's a great guest.
Yeah he's a machine, haha.
Really liked this one! Thanks guys!
This episode is fantastic, especially Scott’s summary at the end.
Rush Hour 4 sounds like Muammar-Gaddafi-private-Beyonce-performance level of authoritarianism.
