| Quote: | I don't agree with this statement. The show is primarily centered on Justin and Raja -- not Gary and Franny. Could the writers done a "better" job on Gary's character?? maybe/probably. They obviously had a vision that was different -- it was a gamble, as are all new shows -- it just didn't pan out | I know it is. That is why I compared Gary to furniture.

And the Saw series, even beginning it's 4th sequel, is a moneymaker. Plots mundane, silly, overused?? Sure. As all sequel movies, especially in horror. It still packs in the audiences and the $$$. If it didn't make money, they wouldn't be making them. Darren also mentions that he may be back in Saw VI. He may be teasing, but he said he didn't know how this separation was going to pan out. He's also an Executive Producer of Saw V, and still has his hand in the movie -- he's not out of Saw by any stretch of the imagination.
| Moneymaker for Lionsgate does not a star SP make. SAW fans are SAW fans and I think a lot are on board for DLB. Having his name attached is a far cry from being "involved" day to day. Having him queued up for 6 is just good business because if 5 is a flop they'll want him back to direct.

I, for one, do not believe for one second that the downfall of Aliens is because of Scott's acting abilities in the comedy field. In my view, it lies squarely and solely with the CW.
| I never said AiA's demise was the fault of SP's actiing abilities. The show is a failure in it's own right. And since the CW is really just the distributor I would say the blame lays on the Production and writers. The CW has actually been nothing short of gracious in terms of getting behind the show. But since it has no legs what are they to do? You always take critical remarks against SP's body of work as a reflection on him when none of the remarks about the show had anything to do with him personally. |
