John Peters: "I like the cut of your jib"
And you thought being a Hollywood filmmaker actually required talent.The ending vexed the moviemakers. Even when it was decided that the dragon was constipated, there was debate over logistics. One cut, according to sources, featured Dolittle removing a boulder-sized stool out of the dragon. In the end, the film showed bagpipes as the constipating culprit, with the good doctor enduring a windful of gas.
At the Endgame wrap party. ..
Chris Evans: I'm going to do an oscar nominated film.
Scarlett Johansson: I'm going to get an oscar nomination, and be in two oscar nominated films.
RDJ: I'm going to stick my hand up a dragon's ass.
Who would think Stephen Gaghan would be a good writer for a family movie?
It's weird because it's not as though the Marvel movies can't be enjoyed by kids.Wasn't this a vanity project for RDJ? I feel like I've seen tons of interviews with him and his wife that boil down to "We wanted to make a movie our kids could watch."
Obviously doesn't excuse the film being garbage, but would explain why certain things ended up as they did. My kids like fart jokes, so the movie ends with me getting a huge dragon fart in my face.

I have long suspected RDJ works so well as Iron Man because he basically just gets to be himself.
helmed by Gaghan, known for his work on layered dramas such as Syriana and Traffic
Wasn't that his replacement?Y'know, this makes the "director has the most racist dog" shit make a lot more sense...
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang tho
Nope

I don't even know why he takes these jobs. He has enough money and should aim for more serious roles if he wants to stay relevant.
Adam Sandler is still relevant after an avalanche of trash movies.
When you have kids, I feel like these kinds of films become a lot more appealing.
This is what doesn't line up about the top conclusion to me. He wanted/felt the need to write in a dragon fart/enema climax for the kids?The dragon enema is like what the climax would be in a low budget parody of Dr Doolittle, not a $175,000,000.00 production.

LOL ppl are usually pretty smart these days about not watching terrible films.
all of that sounds dreadful. should've killed it early instead of releasing that garbage
I'm getting too old for this shit.Butts, farts, and poop are the height of childish humor. As an Era member you should know this.
Universal really had a one two punch with this and Cats, didn't they
+ Getting to shoot in locations where you and your friends can have a nice vacation.The trick to Sandler movies is to be so low-budget that it's impossible not to make the money back. Sounds like this was decidedly not that
That's my takeaway here. Great talent, wrong genre.Who would think Stephen Gaghan would be a good writer for a family movie?
