He's not entirely wrong about the nature of the blockbuster movie.  But I think he's off base on the geek = infantilism thing.  We're just redefining the nature of entertainment for adults to be broader.  All because you like things other than Reader's Digest and 60 Minutes doesn't mean you aren't a grown up.

Nice production video.

Shows lots of characters, no plot details.

It's nice to feel excited about Star Wars again.

During one of the most popular panel discussions here at Comic-Con 2015, a Friday event devoted to the upcoming film "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens," director J. J. Abrams fielded a question from fans regarding cast diversity in upcoming Star Wars films.

As someone who just watched Episode IV with his kids a week ago: That's not a high bar.

I mean the kid in me loved Star Wars, but the adult in me find the writing horrible.  I have not recently re-watched Episode V, though.  Maybe that one's the exception.

I think JJ is a competent film maker, he just needs a script that works.  He will still make Star Trek Into Darkness even with a weak script.

I think Drew's smoking crack.  Maybe JJ's got a quality film in there.

I think he's overrated.  Not Joss overrated, but somewhere on the same ruler.

For it's time it was still pretty damn good, even the iffy writing.  The 70s was not a good time for film, on the whole.

I think what he did with Star Trek was genius, but I'm almost certain he didn't do it on purpose.  He lucked into some extraordinary storytelling there.
