On the plus side, looks like JJ wants Jar-Jar dead.

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.

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 Drew's smoking crack. Maybe JJ's got a quality film in there.
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 he's overrated. Not Joss overrated, but somewhere on the same ruler.

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.

As I said... when he gets a good script....
