Yeah, it sounds like taking some time away from doing high pressure media franchise work (or just work in general) is a really good idea for him right now. I don't get the sense that Spielberg's process puts him through the ringer like Joss' does.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Saw Child 44. Fairly faithful to the book, and the changes I liked, as I thought certain parts of the book were a bit silly. Tom Hardy was great. Distracting nonsense were Noomi Rapace's contacts, Gary Oldman's accent (wtf, Oldman?!) and GO's disappearing appearing disappearing headwound.
I thought the pathos revealed made so much more sense for the impetus for the protagonist than what the novel gave us.
I'm still annoyed at both book and movie for potting itself as a serial killer thriller, when it is so far from that. Its just a little bit of the story that helps propel everything else.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Directing Star Wars was so bad for Lucas that he didn’t direct another film for 20 years. Making Apocalypse Now very nearly killed Coppola, and frankly, he was never quite the same creatively afterwards.

Pity someone didn't make it more difficult for him on set.

I think the Avengers guys must be praying for the press tour to end: RDJ walking out of an interview, Renner and Evans saying stupid things and having to apologize--Do you think they could get a day off to just not talk to anybody and sleep or something?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's such a huge press tour. Really there aren't that many BILLION dollar movies in the pipeline.
I'm surprised RDJ has been sticking it out so long. But I guess he's committed for the next two Avengers movies.

Watching Guardians of the Galaxy. So fun, and yet you can see how it could have such a disaster.

You know, Joss did a full dialogue pass on the script. Punched it up.

He'll be in the next Captain America movie as well. Honestly, I think it's that the cast have so much fun working together, they all want to keep doing it. Surely by now RDJ could buy a tropical island and go live there in seclusion like Brando if he wanted to.
Chris Evans was on Jimmy Fallon tonight, and even brought brother Scott out for a mixed doubles game of flip cups.

Yeah, even Chris E., who originally said he'd be out when his contract was up, has said he'd be up for more now.
