Sounds like Alfonso Cuaron is in "deep talks" to direct at least one of the new HARRY POTTEr spinoff trilogy FANTASTIC BEASTS & WHERE TO FIND THEM...which would be an ideal choice! Considering that Cuaron made my second fave direction of the whole HP series (I prefer David Yates Films5-8 over Cuaron's), this is great news!

Thor: The Dark World - pretty fucking awesome! Great ending sequence! I loved it!
Star Trek Into Darkness - Sherlock Holmes being all devious and badass was fun. Kirk's main skill seems to be getting his ass kicked by people repeatedly. Great visuals overall, but ENOUGH WITH THE FUCKING LENS FLARES ALREADY, JJ!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Abrams apologized for the Lens Flare after ST: INTO DARKNESS was released, saying he realized it needed toning down. IIRC SUPER 8 being an homage to 70's flicks he had toned it right down...so I hope that same reverence for the screen is what he brings to Ep VII.
The person who REALLY should be reigned in on that front now is Len Wiseman. The TOTAL RECALL reboot is so full of lens flare that you can hardly see what the fuck is going on. This is not an exaggeration.
I like lens flare when it is used well (see the DOCTOR WHO Xmas special with Amy and Rory called A CHRISTMAS CAROL)...it uses a minimal amount of it to great effect.

OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

The fifth one is still my favourite, but I love both of them (I also re-watched 6 a week or so ago). I love the balance both find between being dedicated to the family of characters and the care with which it crafts its mythos in line with previous ones, and the utter, utter preposterousness of everything else about them.
I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you.

Don't bother, 4 is awful. The worst of the series (2 is also bad, but its sense of humour saves it from total terribleness, and 3 is pulled up by the bootstraps by the awesome driving scenes. Plus it's got Sonny Chiba).

4's not TOO bad, it's just not on par with 5 or 6. they have REALLY hit their stride with the format in 5 & 6. 4 has got its moments though.
3 has a lead who didn't know what he was doing (here's hoping he's got it down better for 7), but the rest of it is cream, especially the driving seuqences.
2 is pretty rough, but introduces Roman...which is a great thing.
But yeah, this series is really Universal's big franchise and I hope they are able to keep it as good as the last two have been. As far as 7 goes, it's going to make absolute shitbuckets of money rain down from the sky on Universal...if only due to it being Paul Walker's final bow in the franchise. Even non-fans will see it in theatre. I sense a CASINO ROYALE box office madhouse surprise in FF7 to be honest.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.
