Does this mean he's going to try to make decent movies again?
Also isn't he like, a hundred?

Maybe he's just happy they are successful original scripts and not sequels.

I mean, can we really say barbie or Oppenheimer are some new IP that we can judge that way? 🙄
each is an at least partially established thing already.
it's not like a new idea was created and succeeded, just a new version of something that already exists

I agree with the point that they used history to write their scripts but they are original scripts in that this isn't avengers 4 or fast and furious 87

true, I wasn't trying to diminish the original writing or production. I was only noting that the whole picture wasn't being presented fairly, since it's a huge difference between Barbie and Inception 🤣

that's absolutely fair. my comment is more humour than serious dialogue. that is absolutely something to appreciate.
