Bad Ideas"Let's get all the fireworks and pile dog shit on top of them". I can't believe I actually said that, and I still can't believe I was the one who lit them and couldn't run away in time. Tell us about your spectacularly misjudged ideas.

He's just bad at dialogue.He has this fetish for giving his characters long, poetic and expositional lines, despite the fact that no-one in real life speaks like that. "The Counsellor" was even more guilty of this.

YeahAs much as I like Ridley Scott, he's a great ad director and it shows in his features. He's brilliant at the look, the feel, the concept. Trying to be too profound and clever gets a bit clunky, though.
