I think John Logan is a hack in the worst sense of that word.

There's not a single penny in that trailer.

I've liked some of Logan's screen work well enough, but I recently saw Red. I *think* it was a good production, but I really, really didn't understand why the play got the critical attention it seems to have got.

I think Sam Mendes is a hack in the worst sense of that word.

I'm in for Billie Piper, and the fact that they're not making Josh Hartnett do a British accent. Like that movie did. *shudder*

Yeah prob smart to have him play an American... Logan is already doing video interviews about how much it's somehow based on his gay sensibility and relation to monsters when he was growing up gay... Still, I still am gonna watch, so there :P

(What's the worst sense of the word hack?)

Can't hate on a writer who wrote Rango, although given who directed it, maybe the collaboration with Verbinski had Logan actually have his clear knowledge of film, references, and film history mean something.

I think the cabdriver I had tonight was a hack in the worst sense of the word. On the other hand, I saw Red and thought it was fantastic.

People are still trying to make Josh Hartnett happen?

While lots of stars now do tv, particularly cable tv, the fact that they barely even use his name makes me think they realized he won't "happen."
