Say what you want to Lily Tomlin, but let's leave Nate Drake out of this

"This idea really turns me on that there's a family that's a force to be reckoned with in the world of international art and antiquities ... [a family] that deals with heads of state and heads of museums and metes out justice." - David O. Russell on Uncharted.

A family of adventurers that metes out justice. That literally sounds closer to Darkwing Duck than it does to Uncharted. I just don't get it. I mean, obviously he's just using the adaptation as an excuse to do his own whatever, but why? Fans of the video game will go "No Nathan Fillion? Fuck it." And non-fans will go "A video game movie? Fuck it." There is literally no audience for this.

You know what we really need? A sixth-grade English teacher. Before anyone can do an adaptation or a remake or a comic book movie, they have to sum up their vision to a sixth-grade English teacher.

Russell: So there's Nate Drake, right? He's my BFF Mark Wahlberg. And his uncle is Joe Pesci and his dad is Robert Deniro...

Ms. Addams: Mr. Russell, did you read the assignment at all? Did you pay any attention in class?

Russell: I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU OUT, YOU FUCKING BITCH!

Ms. Addams: That tears it! Straight to the principal's office, young man! Your parents will be getting a phone call about this.

Russell: My parents are dead!

Ms. Addams: Oh, don't even think about doing a project on Batman!
